Great another year…which means more pretending thought Ellie Nash as she turned over and turned off her alarm clock. She got out of bed slowly and quietly to not wake her mother. She was probably passed out somewhere anyway and she opened her door and tiptoed down the hall to the bathroom. There she took off her pajamas and got in the shower. Where she just stood enjoying the warm water run down her back. Then she looked down at her left arm and saw some very recent cuts, and already healed one. Sigh said Ellie as sadness filled her brown eyes. When she finished she stepped out of the shower and grabbed her towel, wrapping it around herself.

She walked back down to her bedroom where she started getting ready for the first day of school. She first started by putting on a pair of fish net stocking with a red plaid skirt over it, along with a black long sleeved shirt with a black and red tank top over it. She went over to her mirror where she brushed her long red hair and put it into 2 braided pigtails. She then proceeded to apply black eyeliner all around her eyes. She put on her black choker necklace along with 2 other silver necklaces and grabbed her black arm warmers. Can't forget those thought Ellie.

Who then put on her black boots and her arm warmers and ran into the living room where her mom was passed out on the couch That's what I thought with empty bottles of alcohol surrounding her. Sigh Ellie picked up all the bottled and threw them out. She then grabbed the blanket off of the other couch and placed it over her mother. "I love you", whispered Ellie as she walked out of the house trying not to cry.
