chapter 3

This chapter begins in the evening of the last chapter.

 Alice woke up...in the bath tub. Yeah. She glanced around. The room was empty and the house was quiet. She could tell by the light streaming in through the window that it was about five o'clock in the evening.

Slowly, Alice dragged herself out of the bathtub. Her head was pounding, she was dizzy and her vision was blurred. She knew that she had a hangover. Maybe she had ended up having more than one or two drinks. What were the drinks she mixed again? Vodka? Rum? Wine? She couldn't remember. They were all just a blur of coloured bottles. 

 Alice looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were dull and bloodshot, her hair was a mess and her skin didn't look to good either. And that wasn't even talking about her make up! How was she going to explain this?! Well, it turns out she didn't need to.

 Alice slowly walked down the stairs, her shoes clunking heavily against the wood. She had to walk carefully so she wouldn't trip. Her headache was killing her. She rubbed her temple as she reached the bottom of the stairs. She hoped that this feeling didn't last long.

 "Where have you been?!" Her mother began attacking her as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Oh, I was..."

"You've been drinking! How dare you! You should be arrested for this! You are grounded! And don't even think about calling your father because he doesn't care!"

 Something inside of Alice snapped. She knew a few self-taught self defence moves that she had learnt for school and it was now that she used one. Her foot shot up into the air and collided with her mother's face.

 "Alice!" Her mother screamed. Alice raised her arms to protect herself as her mother's fist shot out. Her arms still didn't stop the sharp pain she felt.

It was then that her father came running down the stairs. "Stop, both of you!: And ran in between them. But it was too late. Alice had been through too much. She pushed her father out of the way and ran out of the house. Tears streamed down her face as she ran out onto the street. She would have to find her own life now.

chapter 2

This chapter begins the day after the last chapter. Alice has just come back from school...

 For ALice, the bullying was getting worse. They would lure her into the girls bathroom and then smash her against everything. It bruised her physically, but nothing could describe the pain she felt mentally.

School was hell for her. Her teachers hated her as well. They all purposely changed her answers so they were wrong and they were constantly making remarks about her appearance. 

 Her anorexia isn't getting any better. She still feels like she's fat. She will often break down into tears after making herself vomit into the toilet. She finds it embarrassing, but necessary.

 Alice often stares at herself in the mirror. It's not because she is vain, or because she wants to show off. It is because she wants to punish herself for her anorexia by staring at what she gets from it. The skinny, stick-figure body. Her own mother is fatter than her.

You may be wondering why she doesn't just stop. It's because she can't. Making herself throw up has become a habit that she can't stop. The self-conciousness she feels is too much.

 She often breaks down and just sobs quietly while sitting in the chair she put in the corner of her room. It's nice and dark there, which is why she likes it. If she's there, no one, not even herself, can see her horrible body.

 That afternoon she left home for awhile. She went to the school and collapsed outside, sobbing and wailing.

Meanwhile, her parents had their first conversation about Alice's being. It didn't end well though. Nothing changed because of it either.

 "Maybe we should talk to Alice. She's been spending a lot of time alone and I've noticed some bruises on her. I don't like hearing her screaming when I come home from work, either."

 "How dare you say that! Whatever Alice is going through is what she deserves! She is an evil, snobby girl who thinks she can get whatever she wants! I will not allow that behaviour from her or you!"

 "Whoa! I'm sorry, sweetie. I won't do it again. Please forgive me."

 "Fine. Just, don't mention her name or anything to do with her around me, okay?"

 It was then that Alice came home. She slowly dragged herself up the stairs, the last few tears from her previous crying session falling onto her feet.

"Mum, Dad, I'm home!" Alice yelled out as she entered the house.

 "What did I tell you about yelling in this house?! How dare you ignore my rules! Go to your room now for the rest of the day, or face more punishment!" Her mother started attacking Alice as soon as she entered.

 Alice ran upstairs, screaming out illegible words at her as she went. Tears were already streaming down her face and with each step she became weaker and weaker.

 She leaned against the wall in her corner, pushing the chair in front of her. It was almost like protection to her. Not that a simple chair could protect her. Tears stained her face. It was all she could manage to just stand there and let them fall. She couldn't even muster up the strength to make noise.

She looked up and noticed her father's bar across the hall. The many different coloured bottles look very appealing. She walked over to them. One or two drinks wouldn't hurt, right? Alice thought this as she picked up some bottles and began to mix some drinks.

chapter 1

This is the story of Alice Cooper. Let's start at the beginning...

 Meet John Cooper. He's Alice's father.

John likes children, but he's very ambitious and doesn't have much time for family. He's the CEO of the Sunset Valley Mega-Corporation. 

 This is Crystal Vohka-Cooper. She's John's wife and Alice's mother.

Crystal hates Alice and is only with John for his money. When Alice moves out, she wants to move to Bridgeport and get as far away from 'the disgusting rubbish dump that is Sunset Valley'.

 And this is our star, Alice Cooper. Her traits are Grumpy, Loner, Over-emotional and Rebellious.

Alice does everything to fit in. She's anorexic, so she's as skinny as a stick. Her parents, teachers and classmates don't seem to notice though. Not that they would care anyway.

 The Vohka-Cooper's live in this big house. John and Crystal bought it before they had Alice.

Crystal never wanted children, but John did. So Crystal gave him his wish. But since then, Alice has been verbally abused by her mother. Arguments with her father aren't rare either.

 Alice doesn't have a good relationship with her mother. Her mother dislikes children and they hate each other.

"You evil little disgusting child! I don't know why John ever wanted you or any children!"

"Why don't you just give me away then?!"

"Because John won't let me! I would if I could you evil little bi-"

"Don't call me names! I'm your child!"

"No, you are just an evil snob! I wish you were dead!"

"So do I! I wish you were dead as well!"

"Alice!"

She doesn't have a very good relationship with her father either. She blames him for her relationship with her mother.

"It's all your fault! I hate her and she hates me! Why don't you just leave her?!"

"Alice, you know I can't do that!"

"Yes you can! So why don't you?! Do you hate me so much you just want to let me suffer?!"

"Alice, you know that's not true!"

"Well it looks like it is!"

"Alice!"

 She's bullied at school and is often beaten up and left to lie outside the school gates. They never make her bleed though. That would make people suspicious.

As you can see, Alice has a bad life. Her mascara is always smudged because she cries so much. She can't be bothered fixing it any more.

 Her parents ignore her sobs and screams. They have given up on helping her themselves and can't be bothered to bring in a professional. So she just cries and cries.

Now you have some info about Alice and her life. In short, she is a depressed, bullied girl who hates her parents. Not a very nice life.
