Reluctantly, Alice pulls up the sleeves of her jumper, revealing faded bruises, and scars that looked like stab wounds. She began shakily, sucking in a breath. "When I was five, my father left us, to go to another country.. During that time, my mother had been out with several other men, and often left me in the house by myself.. I was bullied frequently at school, because I always had messy hair, and puffy eyes from crying. So one day, I ran away.. Ran from the noise, ran from my mother.. Lived on the streets for a while. But when I finally went back.." Alice looked down for a moment, before continuing. "My mother was furious... She attacked me with a knife, and left me in the garden. When father got back, he was livid, and took me to live with him, where I grew up, and wasn't bullied for a while. All until.." Alice clenched her fists. "All until SHE came.. Convinced my father that I was just a waste of space, left we without food and water for days on end.." Alice trailed off, the memories stabbing her heart like knifes."Eventually, I just ran away, sick of it all.. I was told things, like, if I died, people would have a party.." The girl trailed off, smiling weakly. "I guess I believed them." She whispered, eyes puffy from the tears she had cried from her story.
