Chapter 1 - Mother

I ran through the streets, my drunk, abusive father running after me.

I was of course running from my father but also my life. My mother died 8 years ago and that's when my father started relying on alcohol.

I came home from school and found he wasn't home, I tried calling him but he didn't answer, i tried ringing Nan but she didn't know where he was so I went to call mum but then remembered she was dead in the graveyard under a ton of soil.

I sat on my bed and cried. I had missed the most important years of my life. I had started secondary school, started growing a chest and some other things, I couldn't talk to dad about it and the only other people in our family were baby Alexia and baby Luke.

That's how mum died, she died giving birth to Luke, father blames him, it wasn't his fault at all! It was fathers fault, he got mother pregnant when she shouldn't be.

Mother had a condition after I was born where if she became pregnant she would become ill very quickly and die, Alexia wasn't mothers baby, she was mine.
