Chapter one-My story
When I was about 13 I witnessed something that I could never forget…or even forgive. My life changed…big time. You see, my mom and my dad loved each other since high school and had me when they were young. But somewhere done the line things got bad. They fought all the time but they'll make up by the end of the day or maybe the next day. My dad had a bad temper and if things got really out of hand, would hit my mother. One day I came home early from school because I was sick and my mom and dad were having another fight about God knows what. My dad lost it, grabbed a knife from the kitchen and started to stab my mother over and over again. My mother didn't stand a chance against him. I could see the anger in his blue eyes, burning. When he was done, he looked up to see me, teary filled eyes. Before he could say anything I ran out the door to my best friends house. I told her what happened and her mother called the cops. He was sentenced to life in jail.
So here I was…without a mother and a murder as a father, only at the age of 13. I was sent off to live with my uncle. He was about 22 and loved his life…alone! He was a computer technician and loved to party. So he was hardly home and I got to do whatever I want. By the age of 16 (my current age) my 'friendly' neighbor called social services on him and they took me away. Then I was sent off to Toronto, Canada where I went to live with my Aunt Maggie. We got a long okay. I never really saw her…only at family events. But it's my first day at Degrassi High School and I'm a little less than ready.
