me. You're not Emma. You're a demon. You're just disguising yourself as her. You're trying to trick me.”
    I began to cry. “Mom, please.”
    “STAY AWAY!” she yelled. She then began chanting. I couldn't understand what she was saying. I knew that it was nothing more than gibberish. “You can't hurt me while I'm in the circle.”
     
    I woke up screaming, and I was covered in sweat. I was thankful that my roommate hadn't came home. I didn't want to explain to her that I was having yet another nightmare. She already thought I was a freak.
    I looked at the clock. It said 5:00 am. I knew there was no way I would be going back to sleep. I got up, took a shower, and got ready for the day. I tried hard to forget my dream... no, nightmare. The nightmare that used to be my reality.
    After my shower, I wrote on my arm. I am strong. I will not be controlled by my past. I am not a monster.

    When I called home Thursday night, I couldn't help but be worried. My mom sounded tired. She said she was just tired cause she pulled a double shift, but I knew it was more than that. She worked more than one person should. She worked 2 jobs, took care of Grace and Aaron, cooked, cleaned, and made sure that all the bills were paid. It was too much for her.
    My mom never graduated high school. She worked as a waitress during the day, barely making minimum wage, and she bartenders on the weekends. And all for what? She had a beat up car that only worked half the time, and a single-wide trailer. I hated that she had to work so hard to have so little.
    Aaron begged me to come home again. It was hard to explain to a 7 year old that I didn't have the money. He said he would give me all the money in his piggy bank, which broke my heart. I was suddenly wishing that I would have went to the community college close to home, that way I could be with him. But when I mentioned to mom I was thinking about quitting school here, getting a job at home, and going to school there, she flipped out. She said I would do no such thing. She wanted better for me.
    Tonight was the big game, Auburn versus University of Alabama. They were our number one rival school, and tonight's game was definitely a big deal. It was going to be packed.
    The coach had us doing an early morning practice. Which was the only reason I was up at 6 o'clock. I had no early class on Friday, and it was my day to sleep in. Coach McGill was tough.
     
    At lunch, I met up with Roxy and her parents. It felt a little awkward, meeting them.
    “This is my friend, Aiden Dixon.” She turned towards me. “These are my parents, Steve and Emily Gibson.”
    “ It's nice to meet you,” I said, then shook both of their hands. At first, I was shocked by how different Roxy looked than them, but then I remembered what she said about being adopted.
    “ The Aiden Dixon?” Steve asked. “As in the wide receiver for the football team?”
    I nodded. “Yes, sir.”
    “Call me Steve,” he insisted. “And you are a legend.”
    I half laughed. “I don't know about all that.”
    Steve turned to Roxy. “Did you know that he was on the football team?”
    “ Yeah...”
    “ Why didn't you tell me? This is... fantastic,” he smiled.
    Roxy rolled her eyes. “I apologize in advance.”

    As expected, my dad talked football with Aiden all through lunch, but he didn't seem to mind. I could tell that he really loved playing football. I already knew he was here on a scholarship, but apparently he was the star of his football team back home. He had multiple offers for different colleges, and I couldn't help but wonder why he chose Auburn. Truthfully, our football team wasn't that great. My dad knew more about Aiden than me, which was kind of sad.
    After lunch, Aiden had to go. Apparently the football team was going to start warm ups early. When Auburn played University of Alabama, it was always a huge deal. My dad bought these tickets the second they went on sale.
    Mom and me decided we wanted to
