It was Wednesday afternoon and I was at the public library. It was raining outside once again. I was upstairs, in one of the study rooms, writing a note. I would leave this note for someone to find and hope that they could help me.
Hi, I wrote.
My name is Lucy Camden and I'm 17 years old, in high school. I live with my parents, my aunt and my 5 siblings. 4 brothers and 2 sisters. My brother Matt has a girlfriend Elizabeth, who is now pregnant as a result of an abusive relationship, before she and Matt got together. My younger sister Ruthie, 14, models. My brothers Sam and David, 7, are twins. I cut and I'm not sure I want to stop. My brother Simon, 18, and Aunt Julie both drink so this causes problems for my parents. My dad's a reverend.
I know you're probably wondering why I don't seem to have any friends. Wel,l I do. A lot, actually. But I'd rather talk to someone who doesn't know me who won't judge me. At least, I hope not.
Well, whoever you are, thank you for at least reading this.
