Hiding the Cracks

Liz's POV
It all began when I was 10 years old.
*flashback*
Its such a nice day out! Oh my goodness we get to go over to Luke's house! He's super nice and really funny. He's also really cute! Too bad he's 14 and he's like family. I walk out of my room dressed in this because its a really nice day out. I sit down at my dining room table with my 2 brothers and my parents. My mom decided to make eggs and bacon for breakfast which is weird because she never makes us breakfast. After we eat we head out to Luke's house. Its about a 20 minute drive so I just absently watch as we quickly pass by the trees and houses. Luke lives all the way out in the woods. Its really scary at night but sometimes we play hide and seek which sucks if your it but is really fun. We finally get to Luke's house and see him waiting outside with his dogs Buddy and Ivy. My parents told us that we are staying the night here and I am super excited! I've never had a sleepover here before! I wonder what we are going to do. I hope we play games. All day we basically played games, ate, swam, ate, played games, and ate. I like to eat. Soon enough it was dark outside and Luke suggested that we played hide and seek. Finally! I've been waiting all day to play! My brother is it and I'm hiding in a bush a little ways from the house. I feel like I've been here for ages! I'm hungry... and I really need to pee! I get up and start making my way back to the house. Its super dark out and I feel like someone is watching me so I pick up my pace. I reach the corner of the house and I hear talking. Being the nosey 10 year old girl I am, I decide to listen in. I look around the corner and see a man wearing a scary mask holding a gun to my brothers head. Luke is standing in front of him begging him to let my brother go. Next thing I know my whole world came crashing down.
*end of flashback*
I can't believe its been 6 years since that night. I still see it as if it was yesterday. Everything has changed. My parents are as awesome and loving as they used to be, Cooper stays in his room all of the time not wanting to face the world, and I am not the good girl I was 6 years ago. I used to do whatever I was told like a fucking slave and never talked back to my parents. Honestly, I didn't want to be the perfect little girl anymore. I am not some little prissy girl who lets people walk all over her like a god damn door mat! To be honest, I'm not all bad. I don't sleep with guys and I'm not in a gang. Too much shit goes on with those types of people and I don't want to get mixed up in that. I'd rather just party and drink until the emptiness is filled in my heart even if its temporary. I know what your thinking. I'm just some girl whose partying to get over the loss of her brother. FUCK YEAH I AM! I don't know any other way to do it! No one knows what happened to my brother. As far as their concerned he's off in Europe studying to be a scientist or some shit. If only he actually was. I only had one friend who knew what was going on. Her name was Denise. She was my other half. We did everything together and were inseparable. One day the fact that her father beat her and the depression of her mom's death pushed her over the edge and she committed suicide. Ever since then I haven't gotten close to anyone. I can't handle losing another person in my life. I think if I do that everyone else may lose me too.
