Andrea unlocked the door & wrinkled her dainty nose at the familiar odor reached her, spilled beer. She walked into the living room that was filled with old newspapers & magazines tossed around, turned furniture see her mother sprawled on the couch, out cold. Andrea walked over, taking the almost empty bottle of liquor from her mother's hand & knelt to pick up the carelessly thrown around papers.

She thought back 4 years ago, back then she was so naïve, back then would have never imagined her family in such a state. It had been like this ever since 9th grade, three years ago when her parents had gone though a terrible divorce. Her father had won custody over Matt & her mother had been forced to take Andrea, yes that's right, forced. Her mother didn't want her, but had too much pride to send her away to an orphanage or boarding school. It had hit Andrea like a blow in the gut. The fact that they so openly admitted that they loved Matt so much more, Andrea shook her to rid herself of such memories & held back tears from simply thinking about it. She didn't get it, what happened to the close family that they use to be, when did Matt get the upper hand in life?

She was sure she would never had made it though those times, she remembered thinking dark thoughts, looking at a knife in her hands, running her hand over the sliver blade, lifting it so close. If Dave hadn't been there she wouldn't be here this very moment. She was eternally grateful to him, he had been there for her during all the hard times, even at the climax when everyone else ignored her & whispered about her. But he stuck by her side.

The very thought of him brought a smiled to her lips, looking down at her finger at the sliver band, it had been Dave's grandmother's, he promised her that one day he'd get one himself & ask her to marry him, take her away from this world. God she loved him, those intense eyes & soft lushes lips that he brushed over hers every time they met. As Andrea cleaned up after her mother she began to leave.

She looked back shook her head sadly, once long ago, it almost seeming a dream where her mother knew every thing about Andrea, her mother would ask every day how her day at school was. Ask about the tests & concerts that she knew were coming up. Drive her to the mall, play games with her, help her with personal problems, it was all another world to her now. Yet now her mother was completely out cold, she had no idea that Andrea had a concert tonight, more like didn't care, yet even so Andrea's face softened, she wrote a note telling her where she was & when she'd be home.
