Malia had very few memories of her mother. She did remember her mom being in the hospital a lot. She never understood why her mother had to be in the hospital so much. When her mother passed away when Malia was seven things shifted. She realized quickly her mother was taking beatings for her. With her mother out of the picture the only punching bag her father had was her. Malia couldn't understand why her father hit her in the beginning. She didn't think she was doing anything wrong. As the time passed she began to blame herself. It was always her fault and she deserved the slaps.
She felt ashamed of the bruises and the marks that covered her arms and legs. She almost never wore short sleeves or shorts. She didn't want to deal with stares or questions. The pattern of abuse had started her on a dangerous road. She had her first boyfriend when she was thirteen. In the beginning she thought he was perfect. He was sweet on her and would give her small gifts. It wasn't too long after they had become official that he started to pressure her for sex. Malia kept telling him no and that she wanted to wait. He didn't like that answer.
A few months after he first brought up wanting to have sex, they went to a party with underage drinking. Malia didn't remember much about the party after her first drink. Things were hazy and fuzzy. She hadn't realized she had been slipped a date rape drug. She was mortified to wake up naked the following morning in the house with her boyfriend passed out naked next to her.
Malia was terrified but didn't feel she could tell anyone, not even Clarissa. From there her boyfriend began to abuse her both sexually and mentally leaving Malia broken and hollow.
They dated on and off for about a year before he had grown tired of her and they broke up. There was a part of her that was relieved, but another part was terrified to be alone now. Clarissa had dragged her to a college party when they were sixteen and that was the first time Malia tried hard drugs. From the moment she started she was hooked. For the first time in her life she was numb to the pain. Malia's father had begun to travel a lot for work and never seem to realize his daughter was turning into a druggie. When Clarissa came to her wanting a place to bunk down Malia was grateful for the company.
It was a bit of a disappointment when Clarissa ended up getting sent to juvvie once again leaving Malia alone. It was while Clarissa was gone that Malia really fell off the deep end. She was hitting up as many parties as she could taking whatever drugs were available. She knew half the time she was being taken advantage of but she didn't care anymore.
When Clarissa finally got out she saw how bad Malia was and did everything to help fix Malia. She had no idea the feelings Clarissa had for her, but everything Clarissa did to help her get sober brought them closer as friends. Clarissa was the only person Malia truly trusted and their friendship that saved her from over dosing.
