ok, so this the first story ive ever written, I watch a ton of cartoons and tv so i have a slight idea on how to write. so yeah, here it goes.
==.==
==Section heading==
It started when i was four, the constant fighting between my two parents, my brother leaving for months and comming back without telling anybody were he went. my Dad was an alchoholic and my mom worked as a casheer in the town grocery store. it was a typical family until i learned my dad was part of the mafia and was into drugs. when my mom found out she got up and left just like my brother did months before. i was stuck with my dad. for a few years he didnt really know what to do with me, he usually dropped me off at a daycare until he was done "work" whatever that means.
My names Beth, Beth richardson. currently i am twelve and live in new jersey, i have a best friend named amelia. i never went to school but she does, my Dad could't pay for tuition so he just left me at home. We live in a one story old house, creeps me out.  we have this huge pine tree in our front yard though, i guess you could say i practically live in it. i dont have a fort or anything in it just one giant branch near the top that i sit on for hours on end.  i read a lot though, amelia tought me and she lets me borrow her books.
