Chapter 1

"Kylie, your test came back positive. I'm afraid that you have aids. I'll let you two talk alone." Dr. Matthews left his office so Kylie and her mother could talk. "You're nothing but a common whore!" Her mother striked her across her face. She spat on her. She told Kylie she couldn't stand the sight of her and left the office. Kylie was not a whore and she didn't sleep around for money. Kylie was still a virgin! Kylie's friends dared her to get a tattoo and her friend Lauren's cousin just so happened to be a tattoo artist. His needle must have been dirty, because where she got the tattoo, her skin began to swell up. She went to the doctor and he tested her blood. That's how she got aids. A few minutes after they arrived home, Kylie's extremely intoxicated father came home. Her mother told him that she was a common whore and that she was sleeping around and caught aids. Kylie's father called her downstairs and when Kylie arrived at the bottom of the staircase, he punched her square in the jaw. "My children aren't whores who sleep around for money, you ugly bitch!" He grabbed Kylie by her hair and threw into the living room. A chunk of Kylie's hair was ripped out. Luckily for Kylie, there wasn't much furniture in the home, so she landed on the carpet. A bloody and emotionally scarred Kylie ran upstairs. She began to pack a bag. She needed to leave. Anywhere. Anywhere but here.
