My name is Derek.
I'm 16, I have asthma, I'm underweight because of my eating disorder and I never knew my father.
Oh yeah, because of past family I'm sorta prone to depression.
That's always fun.
I have two friends, a jock who has been my friend since I was in diapers and a girl named gabriella. (That's my birth name lmao)
I sorta like gabriella, but she doesnt like me. She dated this older dude who abused her and she's sorta still mentally messed up from it.
The jock's name is hunter. He's pretty cool. He likes all the things I do and has seen me throw up more times that he should.

I walked into school and sighed heavily, putting some books in my locker before heading to first period. "Yo its twig! On a diet for your boyfriend?" A boy shouted as I hung my head, last year I got in trouble with the principal after some photos of me and this boy went around... I don't quite remember what happened. I was with hunter and drank a bit, but ended up in some guys bed. He beats me up for ruining his future football career. He didn't complain last year.
"Awh, twig won't answer me! Gotta dick in ya mouth twig?" I rolled my eyes "nah, whatcha take to make yours so big? Maybe I can fit a bigger one in mine if you tell me!" I shouted out sarcastically as he grabbed me by my shirt. "BOYS ENOUGH!" boomed Mrs. Patrick.
I sighed relief and sat down at my desk. Roland sat down too and huffed angrily.
Class started and an hour later I was called in by the principal. I swallowed hard and shakily stood up. "Got fucked by another dude slut?" He mocked as I shot the middle finger at him and went to the office. "Your mother is in the hospital." I went wide eyed and stood like a deer in the headlights. "Mr. Mayas is going to take you." Mr. Mayas (may is) is my neighbor. He lived right next to us.
I took a deep breath in, having a panic attack all the way to the hospital. I shook and ran to my moms room, sort of like a stop motion picture would. My legs wanted to stay still but my mind raced for my mother.
"Mom." I called out, she just smiled at me. "God damn it mom, be careful for once please." I said as I smiled weakly.
