Abby was used to her mother's erratic behavior growing up. Her sister took most of the blunt when it came to it, but then her sister leaves for college, and now it's all on her shoulders to take care of her mother. Yeah her sister sends money to make sure the lights stay on and that they're both eating, but it's not the same as when she was there. Sometimes her mother goes on her med, but most the time she can't get her to take them. It's a lot to handle for one sixteen year old, but she would never tell anyone that she needs help, she wouldn't know what might happen if she did.
Then, as if she had wished on a star, her father show's up to save the day, or at least that's what he's acting like he's doing. She hadn't seen him since she was six and her mom had loaded her and her sister up into the car and drove off in the middle of the night, leaving nothing behind but a not saying "don't follow me"
Now she has to adjust to new siblings and a life so much different then she ever knew and on top of that, she's in love with her best friend and feels like all she does is mess things up when it comes to them.
