⌑ Chapter one ⌑

Allison has just turned 16, but it wasn't as she had dreamed of in her childhood. None of her family was there besides her mom, and her friends couldn't come, but the most hurtful part for Alli about it all was that her eldest sister, Mackenzie, wasn't there when she had promised. She loved her sister and was deeply connected to her. Even though Mackenzie was a drug addict and an alcoholic, Alli looked up to her sister as her hero. Alli was upset about her sister not being with her on her birthday but understood because she knew that if her sister didn't go, Mackenzie would have a good reason. But everything changes when Alli wakes up to her phone ringing in the middle of the night on her birthday. Longing for her old life back, Alli goes down the dark path that her sister had gone down, developing bad habits. Alli's friends had told her to quit her addictions and go to therapy or even rehab, but Alli refused. She lost 50% of her friends, and she developed many illnesses. But one night, Alli passes out after drinking too much and has a strange dream. Alli woke up the next morning and was left disoriented. Alli has a change of heart and travels on a long road to become something to make her mom and, most of all, her sister proud.
