Chapter 1:

-Tara's POV-

I growled scratching off the scum in the bathtub…Jerry was so going to get it for making me clean the apartment for what his precious little daughter did. I wrinkled my nose. She was one of those no good snobs that deserves to go to jail for just being mean, and making fun of other people.

"Tara are you done?"

"No Jerry, I'm just getting started," I growled.

"Well, this will teach you not too throw wild parties…" and he rambles on and on for something HIS DAUGHTER DID. It was her not me…how does he expect me to like him if he doesn't bother getting my side of the story too.

"Listen Jerry," I stood up, "My mom said you should start treating me as a daughter…she won't divorce you because she loves you…but you have to treat me like Nyssa…and that means you have to hear my side of the story, too." He just sent me an angry look.

"Well, Nyssa said…" Jerry said.

"I'm home."

"Laura, Tara threw a wild party while you and dad were at work!" Nyssa sang as she read her magazine.

"Tara is this true," my mom looked at me.

"Mom, I was over at Lori's house studying, and I came home to see the party…you call Lori and ask her," I said, "and I tried to stop it, but being the loser I am…nobody listens to me."

My mom sent me and Nyssa a stern look.

I sat there wide eyed, I couldn't believe this is happening to me of all people. I let out a growl and stomped past my mom.

"Honey, where are you going?" my mom asked.

"The roof, the only place I can go," I stated, before turning on my heel. That no good preppy snob, with her perfect lies, perfect smile…but I know she isn't perfect. GRRRRRRRR!

"Tara," my mom called after me and I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Why can't you punish her too, I know I'm telling the truth, and yet you fall for her act," I snarled, "I wish that I lived with Dad." My mom stopped in her tracks, and she sent me a hurt look.

"Honey…"

"MOM, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" I cried, "You don't know how hard it is, everyone thinks everything Nyssa does is perfect, but she's the biggest bitch on the face of the planet, and whenever she does something wrong she blames it on me…all the time, and I get punished all the time!" I could feel hot tears running down my cheeks.

"Sweetheart," my mom gave me a pleading look.

"And I've never been punished before, until that little whore came to the picture," I left my mom there, staring as I went to the roof.

When I reached my destination, and sat down on my sorry little ass and cried. I cried how I was so misunderstood because that little lying girly girl acted so perfect, but she wasn't. I've seen her get drunk, I've seen her smoke, and I've seen the guys that make her swoon. I want a guy who would understand what it's like to be in second place…until my step sister came into the picture when I was only eight.

That's when I started getting punished for things that she did, and blamed me for, and that's when I became an outcast in my own home.

My mother became ashamed of me, and tried to change me, and that hurt, she started buying me stuff in order to make me loose weight. Yeah, I'm chubby, but I'm not fat, I can't help but be angry, I loved myself for the way I was.

That's when the fights started; my mom and I would fight a lot, all because of that so called little miss perfect. I've also lost most of my friends to that little bitch, most of my girlfriends. All my guy friends hate her as much as I do…and Lori, she's the only girlfriend I have left.

But still…I just met her, and we don't know much about each other.

None of my friend's understand, the disappointment when I get a bad grade on my report card, they ignore me and go to Nyssa praising her 4.0 grade average that she doesn't even earn herself. Yeah, you heard me…she gets people to do her work for her, and they are willing to do it because she's so pretty.

While I was sitting there crying my face off, I suddenly felt a presence behind me, and then…I turned around and I saw nothing, but I knew something was right behind me. I screamed when I saw a man suddenly appear before my eyes…and then…

My world went dark.

PLEASE R&R!
