Tess's POV
I hear whispers as I walk down the hall. They are probably talking about me….the new girl who doesn't belong. I don't belong anywhere. My own parents didn't even want me. My mom was only 15 when she became pregnant with me. Everything was fine…well as fine as it could be considering they were teenage parents until my mom became pregnant again. I was two at the time. I remember hearing my dad yelling at my mom telling her to get an abortion…..but my mom being the good woman she was refused. After a couple days of fighting they filed for divorce and my dad left leaving My 18 year old mom to take care of me and my unborn sister.
The first five years were rough but they were worth it because we had each other. But that all ended when my mom was killed in a car accident on her way home from the store. Being only four my little sister Abby did not understand what was happening. I was not as fortunate as Abby, I was seven and knew exactly what was going on…my mommy was gone and was never coming back. The memory is burned into my mind.
The funeral was held in a small church in California. Abby and I were sent to a foster home. The foster home tried to find my dad but when they did he did not want us. We continued to live in foster home after foster home. That all changed when we were adopted by the Valentis.
The Valentis were sweet and loving people. Jim was the town's sheriff father of one. Amy was his wife mother of one. Amy's daughter Maria pretty much ignored me. Jim's son Kyle would say hello every once in a while but most of time he ignored me. They were a nice family but I don't belong there….I don't deserve to be happy.
You see I am the reason my mom and dad never got to go to college. If I wasn't born my parents would be married right now and would probably have a couple kids. Abby tells me It wasn't my fault but I know deep down she blames me.
Many times I have come close to killing myself but one thing always stops me. Abby. What would happen to her if I wasn't here? Abby is my reason for living. She's the reason I am here in Roswell, New Mexico living a life I don't deserve.
No one sees the pain I go through everyday. To them I just another new girl parading down the halls of Roswell High. But I am much more. I am the one who comforts Abby when she cries for our mom. I am the one who makes sure that Abby gets fed. I am the one who holds my emotions in while everyone else around me cries. I am not human…..I do not know what it feels like to feel pain….love….hate. I am just a shell created to fill empty space. So you see if I were to die no one would notice.
AU-Sorry for the depressing chapter but I had to make sure everyone understood what kind of life Tess has had.
