You think you're so tough with your black fishnet gloves and your studded belt? Newsflash: I've been through hell and back. My name is Vivian White, but my friends call me Vivi. I'm twenty years old now, but it feels like a lifetime ago when I was just a scared little kid running from the monsters in the dark.

I used to live with my parents and my little brother, but they were always too busy fighting each other to care about us. My dad would get drunk every night and yell at my mom until she'd cry herself to sleep. My little brother, Benny, he was just a sweet kid who didn't deserve any of that.

One day, I just couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed Benny's hand and we ran out into the night, not knowing where we were going or what would happen next. We slept in an abandoned warehouse for weeks until we got caught by the cops. They took me away from Benny, and I never saw him again.

I grew up in foster care, jumping from one house to another like a piece of luggage nobody wanted to carry around. But every time I thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. The kids would bully me, the parents would neglect me... it was like I was invisible.

That's when I started getting my body inked with these tattoos you see all over me. It's my way of telling the world what happened to me, and I won't
