I was done with life when I decided to jump off the roof with tears in my eves.

And where was my family?

My parents were happy at their adoptive daughter's first day of high school celebration.

My brother was there too, clicking away with the camera and welcoming his new sister to middle school.

As kids. they always had a soft spot for Ashley Schmitt. Being an orphan. she'd always get a bit more of their sympathy and support.

I was the one who got told to back off if I ever wanted to take back a toy of mine. Any fight was just me being a brat.
