Behind A Fake Smile

I'm Arctic Winters. I don't have the best family: My dad being an alcoholic who takes his anger out on us; this is rather visible so I have to hide the bruises and scars. Then my mother who can't deal with it so she locks herself in her room crying instead of standing up for us. So I'm the mum of the house; looking after my little sister, and of course I have to sacrifice any social life to look after but she's 5 and doesn't deserve to deal with this so I shield her. It's not the best, but if the police find out we could be separated.... and that's the last thing I want.
