My name is Sky April Lahote.

I live with my dad and my brother Paul. When I was born I had a twin sister. Gracie.

Well, she's gone now. Dead.

It happened right before we turned thirteen.

I'm sixteen now. For the last three years my dad has been over protective. He's scared something bad is going to happen to me. He doesn't like me to go out or have any friends. He even gets nervous when I use the computer. I could be chatting to strangers online. Every time I leave the house for school he purses his lips like he's trying to stop himself panicking.

Me and Paul are all that dad has left. He got divorced from mum soon after Gracie's death. Their relationship couldn't take the strain. He needs us.

So I live life by his rules. I rarely leave the house. I don't bring friends home. If I feel sick I take the day off school so I end up going in as little as possible. But it's killing me.

Today is different. Today I'm planning on doing something...exciting. And if I pull it off right, my dad isn't going to ever know...
