how could you be so heartless?
Dahlia May was one of two girls. She has an older sister, ( ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) slutpants ) who is 23. They didn't start getting along until now, due to Gemma's downward spiral during highschool. Dahliah strived to be the exact oppisite of her wild sister, making sure to keep her grades up and stay away from drugs and alcohol. It took a lot of patience and understanding for the two girls to have the relationship they do now, which is complete and utter friendship. Dahliah knows she can discuss anything with her older sister, and does often. Her sister is the one person who is a constant in her life.
Early on in Dahliah's childhood her mother's drinking problem was apparent. The woman would be passed out right after dinner, drinking a little too much red wine. This didn't bother either of the girls. It was when she drank the hard alcohol that their mother became hard to swallow. Angry and vicious, she blamed the two children for her problems. Insults became their mother's favorite way of communication. Dahliah was only ten when her mother simply stopped screaming mid-sentenced and collapsed. 15 year old Gemma had to call an ambulance as Dahliah sat shaking. Their mother was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with alcohol poisoning.
The trip to the hospital only seemed to make things worse. Their mother seemed to be getting better, but in all actuality she was only getting better at hiding it. A glass of orange juice spiked with vodka in the mornings was what their Mother considered breakfast. Dahliah and Gemma learned to take care of themselves, but both in different ways. Gemma ran wild, getting lost in the alluring world of drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. Dahliah was more like their Mother. She pretended that everything was alright, plastering a smile on her face no matter what the circumstance. She studied harder, worked harder - anything to be somewhat normal.
Despite her happy go lucky attitude, Dahliah wasn't very friendly during her highschool years. Too ashamed to bring anyone over, she got tired of making excuses. Her studies kept her social life down to zero, and eventually people stopped asking. She didn't mind too much. She was ashamed of her mother, ashamed of how her home life was and didn't care to let anyone in. Luckily for her, she made one friend despite her lack of efforts. kreimeier helped pull her out of her shell to find the sweet, caring girl underneath. Once, and only once, Dahliah gathered the courage to invite Lulu over for her birthday. Her mother did well, until she remembered how old Dahliah was turning. "16! You make me seem like a fucking grandmother.". Dahliah knew it was downhill from there, and she was right. Her mother decided getting plastered was the best way to celebrate, and the girls spent their time hiding in Dahliah's room with the door locked, trying to ignore her mother screaming at the door. Needless to say, Dahliah never invited anyone over again. After that, she spent many nights sleeping over at Lulu's.
Dahliah bided her time until she was 18, itching to be free of her mother. Gemma had escaped, leaving behind her sister, but Dahliah didn't blame her. She was jealous for a while, but quickly got over it once they reunited. On her 18th birthday her bags were packed and she held a large check from her Grandparents. It was enough for her to get her own apartment, with a few months rent paid until she found a job. She didn't bother telling her Mother she was leaving. Gemma hadn't either, and it had taken the woman a month to realise Gemma was gone. Dahliah didn't bother to try and guess how long it would take for her Mother to notice she'd gone. She did bother to leave a note, her good side winning. She has yet to talk to her Mother since, and refuses to. She enrolled in school, with an undecided major and threw herself into her studies.
