Her brother was perfect. She was the freak. Her father was abusive. Allison Fowler is abused. On her back, there were so many bruises on her back, with burns spelling out words. She was a freak in her family's eyes. Her brother laughed at her pain. But Allison hated it. She wanted to stop it all. But the 10 year old was weak, and fearful of her 'father' if that's what you'd call that man.

"Why am I so ugly?"

"How can somebody love me if I don't even love myself?"

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy! You just open your mouth and let the words that are in your head, come out of your mouth." "It's not that simple," I fought down emotions that were building up. "Yes, it is! See, i'm doing it right now!" "No-it's not!" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes! just talk, dang it!-" "You just expect it to be easy to talk about my dead parents?! About how guilty I feel for not visiting their grave for the past 11 years?! I didn't even realize how long it's been, I had pretty much forgotten about them for 11 years! Do you know what kind of guilt is eating at me right now!" I shouted in angst, my hands grabbing at the clothes on top of my head and pushing it into myself, wanting to just be shielded away from everything I was feeling, guilt, sadness, from thinking about more people I've lost in my life. Before I could even react, Keeley's tiny arms wrapped themselves around my torso. ~
