          My life is slowly being undone. Everything I do is meaningless. My father already left my mother, brother and I to a horrible financial situation and now mother has fallen ill. My anxiety level is through the roof. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA, trying to provide the most I can to my family and on top of that I'm pretty much hated at school besides from Thomas. It's all just too much. I'm only twelve. Is adult life going to be harder?

            —Three Months Later—

Mother is gone. A part of myself died with her. Thomas and I have separated as he got more popular. I go unnoticed. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering that I don't really like people. Oh yeah and did I mention that my brother ran away after we got put into a home with our cousin Peter? No? Well yeah. That happened. If I lose Peter, I don't know what will happen to me. Days, minutes, seconds go by without any true meaning to me anymore. Everything is just... still.
