Empty Bottles

A girl named Pearl, had the perfect life. She had a best friend, she was good in school and she was happy and content with her life. Until her and her best friend fall apart. Pearl slowly loses her sparkle and gets less happy every day. One day, she meets a certain boy. When she looked into his eyes, she was blown away by his beauty. They get along well and everything seems to get back to normal again until another cruel thing happens. Her mom never really cared for her only in times she was sad, so she felt like it wasn't for real. But Jeremy was the only one who genuinely cared... or was that just an illusion? It all falls apart when she finds out what kind of person Jeremy really is...

''PLEASE STOP'', I screamed while he was exerting his anger on the furniture. The sharp and shiny shards of glass were all over the room as he threw all the empty bottles of alcohol out of the wooden cabinet. The strong odor of alcohol mixed with sweat was unbearable. My body was shivering and the little hairs on my arm were standing straight up. The fear I experienced here, was higher than it ever was before, even after all the tantrums I had to go through already. This time, it wasn't only the fear of his wellbeing... it was the fear of my own life.

This book is about the effect of alcoholism on the addicted person itselfs and the people around them. This is the first book I have ever written and I'm very excited about it. English isn't my main language so mistakes can be found.
