  Its silent here..

  Very cold here..

  Am I breathing?

  No.. I'm not..

  CLASH!

  My eyes fly open and start to burn when I realize I'm under water. I jump out of the tub scared of myself for almost taking my own life. I hear another clash pulling me away from my trance. I throw a towel.  on running down the stairs to see where these clashes were coming from. I roll my eyes at the sight I see. The same sight I see all the time.

  My mom throwing things at her boss to distract and stall him. After 10 minuets of watching this she runs out of objects and he runs to her and chokes her. I run up to him trying to pull him off of her screaming at him "Dude get the hell off of my mom!" I scream that at least 10 tines until he acknowledges my presence. I'm guessing my towel slipped down because he's smirking and starting at my body "Like mother like daughter." My mom scurries away as soon as he let's her go. I pull up my towel and he prowls around me and lays a hand on my ass. I try to move away but he grips me by my wrist really hard. I look for my mom and she's watching then turning her head to snort up another line of powder.

  "Maxxine, baby.. when are you going to become my personal employee?" " NEVER!" I kick his shin and make a run for it up to my room and shut my door. I hear him screaming at my mom "You're raising a bitch Shana! Next time she does that I hurt her.. badly. Don't test my patience." I can hear my mom stumble and stutter " L-Lance, baby,  s-she won't do it again, I promise she wont, I prom-" she gets cut off with a hard slap across the face.

  " You disgust me Shana. Now get to work! I want you on the corner of 21st and 22nd tonight. Oh and clean up.. Those bruises look gross and you just look a mess.. senorita." Before he leaves he screams up the stairs "Maxxine, baby, one day.. One day you'll be mine!" His evil laugh travels through the door with a hard slam following it, so hard it echoes up to my room.

  While I'm looking for clothes to wear for school my mom barges into my room yelling at me in Spanish. I ignore her so I don't catch anything that she's yelling. When her mouth stops moving I smirk " ¿Has terminado ya?" She looks at me in complete shock because of what I said so I say it in English obviously being sassy "Well? Are you done yet Shana?" She clinches her fist and I mimic her. "Lance choked me because of you. I do this for you and this is how you treat me. I work my ass off like any mother.. and you treat me like this. You're a terrible daughter. A terrible, terrible daughter."

  I stare at her in complete rage. I try not to yell but fail miserably " Get the hell out of my room! How dare you call yourself a mother. You're never home, you never take care of me. YES, you buy me a nice phone and clothes but you can't buy love. Then you have to sleep with your pimp Lance so he can pay the bills and buy food since you spend the rest of your money on coke. So don't you dare say I'm terrible because we all know the truth deep down inside 'Mother'."

  She laughs and walks out of my room but stops at the door frame "Maxx, our beauty can take us a long way in life baby." I slam the door as soon as she exits and sit on my bed.

  I look at my already bruised and cut up arm. I take a sharp object and trace along my skin. I disinfect my arm and wrap it with an ace bandage and put on my 'OVOXO' hoodie and my acid spilled skinny jeans and black vans. I leave my long black hair wavy and slip on a 'OVOXO' beanie. I grab my bag and go downstairs to see that my mom is already gone "Of course.."  Without eating I step out the house, lock up, get in my car, and drive to school. Here we go with invisibility.

Okay guys.. that was the first official chapter. I know I never mentioned that she has self harm problems and stuff but I thought of adding it to make the story a little better. Also since we're talking about self harm.. I just want to say if anyone struggles with that just know you're not alone and we'll make it through the struggle together c:
