2 CHAPTER 2

I guess I should start from the beginning. So first lets talk about the freak show I call a family. Things haven't always been bad at home, I remember crystal clear of days that things were perfect. I know a lot of people who don't believe in perfect but... my family was perfect. But that went away quicker than anything else. It started off with mom, when she was my age she had a big drinking problem and she controlled it I mean she really did. But things changed like they always do, she started drinking everyday. Morning, noon, and night. Nothing and no one could stop her not even me. She used to call me her pumpkin spice.... when she was around 10 all she wanted was a pumpkin spice latte. She said she loved it more than anything, I guess that's how she felt about me until drinking came in the picture. I can't forget about dads part in this...unlike mom he never chose to drink his life. Instead he just slept with every attractive woman in his building. He's been a computer engineer for more than 8 years. Believe it or not there's more women working there than it is men. I'm not talking about the average looking women, I'm talking "very attractive" women. He doesn't try to avoid his affair anymore, moms too drunk to recognize the obvious and what's the point of actually talking to mom about it... she's just gonna come back with a bottle of vodka. And Jason...if I told Jason god I don't know how he would of reacted. Jason has always had a temper. Mom promised him that she would be at his football game and once she didn't show up he had a break down in the middle of his game and punched his coach when he tried to calm him down. Then there's me...trying to keep my family together best I could. Nothing worked. Nothing was good enough. So....

I ran away.
