Chapter One. – Alone. Worthless. Scared.

Hi.
Nice to meet you.
My names Cleo.
I'm 19 years old.
I live in Manchester, in England.
I live with my mother, my father, my little sister, and my big brother.
I used to think there was nothing more to life than shopping, boys, getting good grades and being care free.
But all that changed when I got together with Jack.
He was sweet, caring, gorgeous.. and on the football team.
Not my usual type, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
Bad idea.

The next few weeks were great, absolutely fucking perfect.
We spent time together, we went out all the time, and we were happy.
Or so I thought.
Turns out Jack was pretty ashamed of me, for some reason.
Me being the big politicians daughter, or whatever, made him ashamed.
Pathetic.
When I confronted him about it, he denied everything.
Scumbag.
But nonetheless, we stayed together (stupid, I know).
Months later, we were still together, but not out of love, out of pure fear.
I was terrified to leave him, after everything he'd done to me.
I was terrified to leave him, because my father adored this boy.
I was terrified to leave him, because like he said, no-one else would ever 'love' me.
Stupid.

But after planning everything, I left him, I left home, I left Manchester.
Now I'm wandering London, with £30 in my pocket, nowhere to go.
Alone. Worthless. Scared.
