A/N- This chapter isn't really long and I apologize but I wanted to set up the story a little bit. The upcoming chapters will be longer I promise.

In this chapter there is a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer which is another one of my favorite shows besides One Tree Hill.

Hope you enjoy this chapter…

Samantha's POV

Here I am at TRIC getting a drink with my fake ID. I have so many emotions going through me right now it's unbearable at times…anger…hate…sadness…tiredness and most of all sadness. Sadness for my so called birth mother and how she deals with her problems…sadness for my life and how it sucks…hell I even feel sadness for people that have to go through what I have been going through for the past year ever since I left the only home that I ever known.

I guess for everyone to realize what I go through I should start off with my typical day. First, I get up, get dressed and clean up my house because Rebecca is too drunk and high to care. After I clean I either go to school or go to work…if I am not scheduled to work than I go to school. After work it's pretty late and I go home…if Rebecca isn't there I take the car and drive to the local club where Rebecca spends her time and all the time she is drunk so I take her home put her to bed and then I let myself loose and try and have some fun for a few hours. After all that is done I come home, sleep and get up the next day and do it all over again.

As you can tell my life since leaving Brooke's has been hell. Back then if I would have known how I would have to act as a parent to a 31 year old I would have never left. Rebecca's depression or whatever you call it started when she lost her job as a waitress a month after I moved in. She never found another job so I had to get one because bills needed to get paid and a mortgage to be taken care of. So, a 16 year old girl is taken life as an adult when she should be worried about school and dating…lucky me huh?

Being at TRIC is probably going to be my death wish considering this is the hangout that Haley, Nathan and Brooke gather for drinks but I really don't care because the boss was riding my ass for being late and I really need to blow off steam. Now I can do that in many ways…I could pick a fight, have sex or get drunk. Since I picked a fight last week and had sex the week before this week I am thinking about getting drunk. Who cares if I run into Brooke? Not me.

I can tell you one thing though…Buffy Summers was right about one thing…the hardest thing in this world is to live in it.

A/N- I'm thinking the next chapter maybe Brooke and Haley's POV or possible just Brooke's…I haven't really decided yet but you will find out. Also, I still am not sure whether or not Brooke and Julian should be together and most of you said yes in fact those who answered the question said yes so I am leaving it up to you…how should Brooke and Julian's relationship be? Should they be dating or should they be engaged? Also, what is a job Julian could be doing in Tree Hill so that he doesn't have to be in LA. It would really help…Review Please.
