Introduction

I held the blade close to my wrist and pushed down. A warm rush of blood formed into a line across my arm, near the couple of other dried up ones. I winced, partially because even after doing this many times it still hurt terriably bad, and partially becuase I really don't like the sight of my own blood, which by now was dripping down off of my arm into the bone-white sink. This happend once or twice daily at my house, at least for me anyways. The blood had finally stopped gushing out of my newly-formed cut and slowed down into just a few drops. I reached into my drawer and digged aroungd untill I found my blood stained washcloth. I ran the only corner without a stain on it under cold water and washed the remaining blood off. I guess by now you're wondering who I am and why I do this to myself. My name is Brooklyn Henry, but people call me Brooke. I was named Brooklyn because my dad was on a business trip in Brooklyn, New York when my mom had me. I am fifteen and a half, and I just got my permit last week. I am the oldest of four children. I have two sisters and one brother. We all live with my dad because my mom died giving birth to my little brother, Aden, three years ago. As you proably guessed, Aden is three, one of my sister is 7, her name is Sarah, and my other is 15, her name is Julia. Sarah doesn't rember our mom very well, and Aden never got to meet mom, but Julia and I still rember everything about her. About a year after mom died, my dad decided to let a girl he was working with at the drugstore move in with us. Her name is Jessica, and she is the reason I cut myself daily. She is the type of woman who seems really sweet and innocent, and even acts it, that is, untill you're around her alot. It seems like I am the only one who realizes that she really doesn't really like my dad for who he is. She is a greedy b**** and just likes him for his money. My dad is oblivious to this. She is nice to Sarah and Aden, but the only time she is ever nice to Jules and me is when my dad is around. We are the only ones who know who she truly is and what she can be. Niether of us like her, but I always make Jules be as nice to her as possiable becuase she is still really young, and my dad would give her up for adoption as soon as Jessica said so. Me on the other hand, I'm to old to be going anywhere, they're only stuck with me for two more years, so I could care less if I was nice to her.
