    Madison walked down the front path of Jared's house when her name was called from behind her.
     "What?" Madison called back quickly turning around. Ashley ran towards her.
     "Are you going to be alright?" Ashley asked in a concerned tone setting a hand on her shoulder.
     "Yeah, I'm fine...bye." Madison said pushing his hand off her shoulder and walking down the sidewalk.
     "You're walking home?" Ashley asked.
     "Yep."
     "You can't walk home alone, it's dark and there are a lot of creeps around." He said walking towards her.
     "It's ok, they are pretty much all in there." Madison said pointing in the direction of the party.
     "Can I call you sometime?" Ashley asked.
     "Actually I don't know if that's such a good idea and I gotta get going so maybe I will see you around." She answered turning her back and walking away.

    I just got back from Jared's party. It was pretty boring. The only person I talked to was Jared's cousin Ashley. What's up with his name anyways. Ashley is not a guy's name. He was kinda cute, but he was just like every other asshole at that party. Trying to give me a ride home, yeah I am sure. After all that shit I went through I think I have learned. Mom and Dad officially divorced this week. They went to court and everything. But instead of fighting over custody of us, they both tried to get us to go live with the other one. It turns out Hayden and I will continue living with Mom while Wayde and Jake will live with Dad. So now not only have I had one of my brothers taken away, but now two more. The judge also said that I have to go to a therapist once a week for counseling because I wasn't recovering from my loss just dwelling on it and dropping into depression. I am never trusting another male again. They are all major asses and I am sick of dealing with everything. I wish Mark was still here and that I was gone instead. I am gonna be alone the rest of my life. My whole family hates me and now any guy that is even worth spending time with thinks I am a 'slut'. I just want to run and get as far away from here as possible but I have nowhere to run to.

     "Class, this is our new student, Ashley Angel. Ashley please sit in the empty seat in the back over there next to Madison."   Mrs. Chastice said as she continued on with her lecture.
     "I didn't think I would actually see you again." Ashley said grinning.
     "Yeah, how is your day going?" Madison asked not paying attention.
     "Well, I don't know anyone, all my classes suck and I have no friends so I guess you could say it's a great day." Ashley answered sarcastically, "You are the only person who has even talked to me all day."
     "Yeah well I know how bad days go, I have had a few of them myself."

    Today was another crappy day as usual. Everyone ignored me and even my own brother acted like he didn't know me. I've been called everything from slut to whore and I am sick of it. I am not going to school anymore I can't stand it. And it's not like anyone will miss me or anything. I am really tired of all this. Mom is never home and I never see Dad at all. I see Wayde and Jake at school but they never talk to me. I wish my life would just end already so the torturing could end. I want to just die already.
