Well, people this is one of my first, my last one was a total disaster so I'm going to start over with something totally different. And by the way if you think my spelling and grammar is messed up then go have a nice chat with the producers of Microsoft word! If you hate this story don't read it…..see this is all commonsense. Sorry I'm just a little pissed at the moment for a reason I will keep to myself. Oh and please review.

Chapter 1

Dreams and nightmares

"Come say good bye todaddy Ami"

"Ok ok I'm coming"

Ami ran downstairs and hugged her dad and then watched him get into his car and drive off to work. The 12 year old turned and walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl and ate her cereal. She sat and watched her mom walk the around the kitchen doing the dishes and making everything as neat as she could.

"Ami stop staring and go get dressed or you'll be late" said her mom noticing her behavior.

Ami was about to run upstairs when there was a sudden gun shot and a bullet came through the window and hit her mother. Ami screamed and ran to her mom. In tears she shook her but her mom made no movement.

"MOM oh, please for god's sake please wake up!"

Ami ran to the window just in time to see a woman with black hair and a tall blonde haired man slip away into the shadows of an alley. Ami was frozen with shock and fear but eventually ran over to the phone and dialed 911 (or what ever the emergency number is for your country, I think it's different in some places).

Ami was in the hospital and sat near her mother. She watched the heart monitor while her dad put his arm around her and waited to see what would happen. The monitor beeped slowly…beep…beep…beep…beep then suddenly all was silent.

Ami's P.O.V

"Ahhhhhhh!" I sat straight up in bed sweating and saw my dad turn my alarm clock off and suddenly shout.

"Get out of bed now!"

I sneered and forced myself out of bed. Got dressed and went downstairs. The place was an absolute mess, obviously dad had had friends over again last night.

I remembered the one time that dad had all his friends over and they all got too drunk to even talk and they started trying to rape me,but could my dad give a shit? NO! And then they all started vomiting everywhere and dad made me clean it up.

I got into the kitchen, there was nothing to eat so I just forgot about breakfast and ran outside and down the road to school. I wanted to get out of the house before my dad made me clean everything up, or find a reason to beat me or something like that.

I arrived at school; it was the same one my mother had gone to when she was young. God I missed mom, she must have been the kindest, most hardworking person in the world. I loved dad too, well before mom died and he started drinking. I looked up and saw Sam and Andy sitting on the bench and I walked over.

"Hi guys, where's Jake?"

"I don't know I think he's still in his dorm," replied Andy who sounded a little frustrated, "but I'm sure he'll be down soon."

"No I think I'll go up and get him because I want to see him before classes start."

"Ok go do as you please"

I made my way through the corridor to Jake and Andy's room that they shared. Jake was the only person who knew about my dad and how he treats me. And secretly I had a huge crush on him. I knocked on the door and Jake answered he was only in his pants and was just putting a shirt on. I blushed slightly. Thinking, ' holy crap he's got a nice body'

"Hi" he said quickly.

"Umm hi Jake, are you ready yet?"

"For what?"

"School, class you know the thing you go to nearly everyday of your life" I said giggling.

"Right, I knew that I was just…."

He seemed to be thinking of some thing else or something was troubling him that day but I didn't find out what because the bell rang and we both made our way to class he dropped me off at my math class and he left for his class which I'm not sure what he had on a Monday morning.

Normal P.O.V

The day went by normally. After school Ami and her best friend Sam went down to the ice-parlor while the boys went to the arcade. They sat and ate their sundaes.

"Hey ami have you met that boy tom? He's really nice you'll like him and I hear he's a little interested in you" said Sam with a cheeky smile.

"Sam! You know I like Jake so what on earth are you going on about?"

"Oh come on you've had a crush on him for like ever….you really need to tell him or give up"

Ami had been thinking the same thing lately. And if Jake actually liked her back wouldn't he have told her?

Ok people sorry for the crappy chapter! I'll try to make it longer and more interesting next time but I really need ideas more than complaints to help me. And by the way as you may have guessed, Sam is short for Samantha but she prefers Sam because she's a tom-boy. And like I said if u hate this story don't read it. But those who do read it please review and try give me suggestions!
