Ok, so this is my new story. I'm new at this so criticism is accepted =) Ok so the main character's name is Katherine AKA Katy. If you have any questions or have any ideas they are welcome just send me a message. Thanks!!

Many things have happened to me since last year. Too many things happened that I cannot believe happened. One, my father died. Two, my mother, Lorraine has not been what I call a mother to me. And three, I can't get my old life back.

I woke up in the morning feeling empty.

I had a restless night because Lorraine came home at 2 in the morning. It might be cool when your mom goes out with her friends to have a good time once in a while because they deserve it. That's how it all began. In the beginning it was a bunch of her girl friends. Later on it turned to men. That's when she started to go out often. I didn't like it all. Of course she can try to date another man and get to know him and then present him to me and see the results. It didn't go that way, not at all. She went out at 10 and came back late very drunk. She was usually dropped of by a man. The neighbors started to notice and that's when all the rumors started. I was the daughter of a slut. It brought a lot of shame to me.

I got up from my bed and stretched. I felt my shoulders heavy and my legs weak and just laid back down. I looked up at the ceiling and thought back a year when everything was great.

Dad looked at me with a huge smile on his face. "I love you, Katy. You do know that, right?"

I laughed knowing that I did love my father. Why wouldn't I? He has always been there for me, through thick and thin. Then I jumped on his back and heard him grunt.

"Sweetheart, your not the same old 60 pound girl, you know", he said with laugh. I laughed along too because it was true.

A warm tear ran down my face as I remembered. I missed him so much. My heart hurt whenever I thought of him. I felt a big hole in my chest that was raw with pain. I wondered how I could live with such a pain in me. I felt the tears forming in my eyes as I felt the pain. I usually numbed the feeling or was numbed by it. Either way I was numbed so it didn't hurt so much.

I know, its short but i only began and i promise you they will get longer!!

review please!!
