Chapter One: Spin-Off

Well now that I got your attention, I guess I should get started. My name is Libby Caddie. I’m fourteen years old and very tall. Okay so not extremely tall but taller than some (most) of my friends. I have both parents, you know, the normal mom & dad. But then there are my five other (and older) brothers Liam, Leon, Caleb, Silas, and Jasper. I don’t communicate with all of them too much. There are huge age gaps between us. Caleb is the only one who’s in my age zone. He’s 16 years old and we do have a lot in common. Well, minus the fact that he’s been arrested one too many times. Silas is four years older than me and he prefers to party most of the time so I barely see him. He’s in college now too so that also makes it hard to keep up with him. But we do talk on the phone a lot. He calls practically all the time to check up on me. He’s always worried I’m gonna turn out like our mom even though I try to make it very clear that I’m not.
Leon is 26 and he has his own life. I’m glad he lives four hours away and that his job takes up most of his time. I can’t stand being around him. Liam is about 20 now. He shows up every now and then. Jasper is 24 and he’s almost never around. I wish he was though because he used to take me everywhere. He called me his travel buddy. But now I have a new travel buddy. Her name is Laken Willows. She’s definitely one of my best friends. I have other best friends too. There’s Savannah Washington, Leslie Merce (nicknamed Mercy) , Calamity Seen (normally called Cal or Callie), and Blake Newton. They are definitely the funniest people on earth but anyways, back to my story.
You see, I have a problem. No one seems to understand when I try to explain it but maybe if I write it down somebody somewhere will actually read this and save me. You might think I’m your average rebel; always doing something that isn’t meant to be done. But I don’t mean to do it, well not all the time. Only sometimes I can control it, just like I can’t control my thoughts. It’s too hard to even try anymore. But maybe I should spin-off from some point in my life so you can get the idea.

My name is Libby Caddie and I plea insanity.
