Status: Completed, sequel "Memories From Cherry Street" out!

Somebody Save Me From This Thing I Call My Life

15 year old Ashley cuts herself...she has to. Her Father is an alcoholic. He beats Ashley and her mother most nights, but never her brother, Aiden. Her mom works night's at a strip club called Fuego, trying to find a way to support the family, but it always seems like they are short on cash. So her mother is a drug dealer on the side. Her brother has taken to sexually assaulting her whenever the hell he feels like it. Not to mention she has no friends because nobody wants to be friends with the "trailer trash girl". Her life is on a downward spiral. Can someone save her? Or will she completely self-destruct?

This is original fiction. I was listening to the song When She Cries by Britt Nicole and this suddenly popped into my head. I will be posting the lyrics of the song along with each chapter. Please subscribe and comment. This is actually a story I enjoy writing.
