This is just a state. a state of mind.
I just finished reading Lock and Key.
It scares me how much of my life is reflected in this book and in so many ways.
Quick synopsis:
Ruby, a 17 year old girl starting her senior year without a mother, new school, and living with her older sister that she hasn't seen since She went to college. Ruby's mother is a divorced woman who runs to drugs, alcohol, smoking and men. She runs far from her problems and is abusive. She likes to hide from the world and live in the night.
Ruby is like a parent to her mother. She works for her mother, cleans and cooks, and has decided that the world is just someplace she needs to push through. She states that it's a one-woman show, and that's life. Her mother suddenly leaves one day and Ruby after a month of living alone is caught by DSS. She is sent to live with her long lost sister Cora and her husband, Jamie.
Cora and Jamie are two college drawn people, who fell in love and now wants to live a new and wonderful life together. Cora left her mother and fought against all odd to go to college and become a family lawyer. She made her way through college and is now very successful is everything except having a child of her own. She longs for the one thing she never had and dreams to provide it to a child. When Ruby comes to live with Cora, she finds out that Cora never abandoned her but her mother never wanted Ruby and Cora to meet again.
Nate Cross is Jamie and Cora's neighbor. He also has a not so perfect family life. His parents are also divorced and he was kicked out of his mother's house and his father abuses him. Yet Nate has the appearance as Mr. Perfect and Happy. Ruby has a hard time understand this and when she understands his hidden pain, she tries to help him as he helped her but struggles.
It was hard for me to read this book, it was all too much for me. I finally did finish it though. I just really hope my life will end up with that much hope in the end. Then again, it's just a stupid book, right? It makes me wonder just how many people around me really does understand what I go through. Yes I do realize that I basically told random people what I go through daily, but still, it will never cause too much understanding. For the 3-4 people who I know read this never goes through this, but then again, I only know one of them really well. I'm still pretty sure I'm right.
I'm sorry if I come of as a bitch right now or rude, or "poor me" i don't mean to be, I just needed to write.
Always.
Angel.
