Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care...
SIKE! My life was always bad.
From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked:
'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts.
'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do.
'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward.
'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household.
Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some.
'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do.
'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always.
'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes.

Broken people who hide it excellently, taught not to love, not to care, life has always been that, and more power is what they want.
At no matter what cost.
Throw in life-changing family secrets, one year to live, another love, 2 heartbreaks, and a whole entire mafia war, Serafina's not sure how the last few months will go, especially since neither want to back down.
