Welcome to my life

Small 15 year old, Sydney Gray, cautiously stepped out from her room as her mother called for her. She always seemed to get in trouble, but for what? She was far from perfect from what her parents told her. She wasn't like her brothers, talented, famous, international sensations. Yeah, her brothers were 'Connect 3' and next to them she seemed like a complete failure. She looked around the house and saw many pictures of Jason, Shane and Nate. Not even one of her. That tore up her heart, thinking that her parents didn't even love her.

Her brothers did though, they loved having Sydney as their little sister. Especially Shane, they weren't just siblings, they were best friends. But Sydney knew that it was them that made her seem like trash to her parents, because she wasn't a performer like them.

"Sydney!" Her mother called again, she trudged down the stairs and into the hall where she saw her family. "We're going out. Should be back around, 7."

Sydney nodded and tugged at her dark, straight hair which ended just above her shoulders. They normally went out on family days without her. On the odd occasion, she would come with them but that was very rare. "Wait, isn't Sydney coming?" Shane asked.

"No." Their father said. "She has chores to do, which should be done when we get back, right?"

Sydney nodded again. "Use your words." Her mother warned.

"Yes, they will." She choked out. "Good. Let's go." They exited the house, Shane throwing Sydney a confused look as they left. Shane was catching on about how they treated Sydney. Nate and Jason, seemed oblivious to it though.

Sydney watched out of the window as they drove away, she grabbed her old sneakers and slipped them on her feet. She quickly exited out of the back door, heading down to the beach. She loved it there, it was a way to escape. She lay down on the sand and listened to the waves crashing. The seagulls squawking. The wind blowing. When she came down here, her problems seemed to go away. She closed her eyes and before she knew it she was fast asleep on the soft yellow sand.

Sydney woke up as a football hit her in the stomach. Her eyes flew open and a young boy came and shyly took the ball back. She stood up and shook the sand out of her hair. As she brushed the sand off of her, the time on the watch caught her attention. It was quarter past seven. Had she really been asleep for that long. She ran towards the house but as she went to come up the small wooden steps she saw Shane. "What are you doing down here?"

She shrugged and pushed past him. They walked up and enter the house through the back door. "Where were you?!" Her mother yelled. "You had chores to do and you did none!"

"Sorry, I got sidetracked." Sydney tried.

Her father got up and grabbed her by the arm, dragging her up to her small sized bedroom. "Stay in here until further notice." He told her. "And no more phone!" He snatched her old bashed up phone and through it against the wall, smashing completely, it didn't stand a chance. He slammed the door shut, leaving Sydney alone. She cleaned up all the shattered pieces of her phone and sat down on her bed, pulling her knees to her chest. She grabbed her small stereo and pressed play. She kept the music low, in fear that they would take it away.

Tears slid down her face and she sang softly along with the music. "No you don't know what it's like, Welcome to my life."

A/N: What did you think? I will continue with this but it wont be updated as much as 'A New Life'. - Keep in mind this will also be a short story. (Based on the song: Welcome To My Life – Simple Plan.)

I had a dream about this last night and thought the idea was good. Review please.

(I'm thinking about making a video for this so keep checking my profile for a link!)
