Dear Journal,
I can't take it, living in Lizzie's shadow my whole life; I've had enough of it. Most of the time, it was fine, but know she cheerleads, has a boyfriend, and is popular, and what am I? Lizzie's friend, Gordo's friend, Lizzie's shadow, that Mexican girl.but never as Miranda. Miranda Sanchez is who I am and who I will always be, and I don't know if that's for better or worse. A lot of people go around saying "I hate my life," or "I wish I was someone else," or "I hate my parents." Well, you know what, I can honestly say all of those things, and it's not a good thing. I'm not at a point where I just sit around and wait to die, although I have attempted suicide, once, maybe twice. I've considered it a lot though, but I usually just tell myself, 'just wait it out Miranda, it'll get better.' It doesn't. But that's only on the days it's really bad. Like the days my parents beat me, which is a lot. When did my parent's start hating me? I really don't know. I just remember one day, although it's a day I try not to remember. My dad went mad; he was coming home from a bad day at work. Instead of kicking something, or squeezing a stress reliever like most people, he took it all out on me. Now, he does it a lot. I've never told Lizzie, or even my mom. Every time it happens my dad will act like he upset, hug me, and then say 'I promise I'll never do it again!' Well, I've heard it enough to a point that I don't know what to do. I've put a lot of thought in to this. Suicide; that would put me out of my misery, but it would do more hurt than good. All my friends, correction, my two friends who never even acknowledge my existence anymore, would miss me, my parent's hopefully would miss me, and my sister Julia, the only person who's ever understood me, would miss me too. So I guess I'll have to do the best thing that come next, I'm running away to Mexico to live with my aunt in Mexico. I hope this is the right decision, I don't know what to do. Everything is going just so horrible. Horrible. Yep, that's me. Horrible, the one lined story of me, Miranda Sanchez's life.

A/n: Very short, I know, but it's only the first chap. And I thought that seemed like a good place to stop for now. Read and review.all reviews welcome! Good or bad! I just want feedback to know if you guys like it or not. This is my first dramatic attempt and not a l/g story, so it may start off rocky, but I think it'll get a lot better.
