"my family consists of some of the most loyal, loving people you will ever meet. they’ll stand by you whether you were justified or not and in my case they stood against an entire town simply because i was family and it was the right thing to do, despite the mistakes i’ve made and the pain it caused them."

ANY OTHER RELATIVES CLOSE TO YOU?
"i have a big family who i haven’t had much contact with since my ‘scandal’ back in my old hometown. a few came out of the woodwork when i got famous hoping i’d help them along. i couldn’t bring myself to help them out."
TELL ME THE STORY OF YOUR PAST?
" keizer, oregon is a small town. it’s just on the outskirts of salem and it qualifies as the epitome of small, farmer town. it’s one of those towns where everyone knows one another. where grandmothers had knitting clubs, mothers had garden parties, fathers had poker nights, you know anything to make themselves feel better than the conditions around them. it was the kind of town where you walked down the street and old folks on their porches asked you about something that had only happened an hour or so. news traveled like wildfire in keizer. everything travelled by word of mouth and everything had a tenancy to be exhaustingly correct when passed from one person to another. nothing was ever tweaked for the sake of amusement. things that happened around keizer tended to be scandalous enough to hold water on their own. it was in this way that everyone and their grandmother knew about my family and everything that was said, done, or whispered in secret. supposedly there were no secrets in this town and my family was like royalty. my family had been one to settle the town way back when and since then we’d always been active in the community. since its inception a sutton had always been in a place of power. let’s put it this way, the mayor of keizer had been a sutton up until the 1950s when the last sutton stepped down to tend to his ailing family. we were huge in the community and that was putting it lightly. oftentimes suttons were looked up to or idolized for their wise choices and whatnot. it was a very nice place to be if you were part of the family, up until before i was born.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
i’ll start with my parents, charles sutton and emilia denton. their relationship was comparable to the prince william and kate middleton of keizer. so of course everyone knew when they started dating, where they went, where they attended college, any classes together and how they spent their breaks. my mother was studying fashion, a nearly impossible feat in such a small town. she was great with a sewing machine and everyone knew she would do something great one day. my father was studying architecture, one of the many fields that had gone unexplored by my family. he was like the pioneer of my family and everyone watched to see what he would make of himself. people knew that charles and emilia went to the island in the middle of staats lake for their first date, that they had coffee every morning at the same café, etc. the entire town also knew when my father had proposed to my mother in his sophomore year of college. the entire town attended the lavish ceremony paid for by the head of the sutton family, ellison, my grandfather. in a very creepy way the people of the town knew that my mother got pregnant on their honeymoon and they knew practically before she did, that she was carrying triplets.
being under constant watch and scrutiny from the town was difficult, but my family had nothing to hide and nothing to fear, that they knew of. it wasn't until three years later that my parent’s world fell down around them. they'd been in the process of still finishing college, which had taken much longer since the birth of their triplets, when mom discovered she was pregnant once again. happy, they told the family the news at the weekly dinner that ellison held every friday night, pretty much a requirement if you had any trace of sutton blood in you. dad told the news to the family and in a slurry of congratulations, my grandfather collapsed to the floor. it was at the hospital that everyone found out that he’d had a heart attack. elision slipped into a coma and slowly disintegrated until he passed away three days later. ellison's death was the start of all of the hell for the sutton family, and my family in particular. it was after his death that everyone discovered that he had been absolutely broke. the business that he controlled, that every sutton family member had invested in, was destitute and was forced to close taking with it all of the sutton's money and all of their respectability as well. my father was forced to drop out of college, getting a job as a construction worker and praying that he could scrape by. mom got a job doing the only thing she was good at, sewing, and became a tailor at one of the local shops. all of the suttons had managed to scrape by, but they had officially fallen from grace in the eyes of the townspeople. instead of looking at them with admiration, people would see them and turn to one another, talking about just how much they pitied “those suttons”.
i was born into this life. as a baby i spent days at the neighbor’s house, playing with their children because they were kind enough not to shun my familyand i grew up in a cramped three bedroom house, sharing a bedroom with my sister, penny. now most would figure that we were unhappy after all that had happened, but we were quite the opposite. though my father had truly aspired to be an architect, he was pleasantly happy with the manual labor he performed on a daily basis, and the same could be said for my mother with her occupation. their jobs may have been miserable, but we still remained a super tight knit family unit. we would sit on the floor after dinner and clip coupons, laughing and listening to the television as it droned on about life outside of our home. dad would sit in his recliner and fall asleep despite the loud voices coming from in front of his feet. we were happy, and we relied on one another heavily. eventually i began attending school. elementary school was a difficult experience. children would openly talk about me in class because they hadn't yet learned their parent's ability to talk behind a person's back and as such i was deterred from wanting to speak with any of them. i hung out with my teachers and asked them for extra work and i talked to them more than i did with people my own age. i would sit off to the side doing something all on my own until one of the teachers stopped by to check in on me. i took special assignments, bonus work, and any books my teachers had to offer. my parents didn’t mind because i was getting more resources than was available in my home. they never seemed to notice the lack of friends i had.
all of that changed in middle school. i stopped going by caroline and started asking people to call me carly. carly was like a whole new personality for me. the shyness and the worries fell away with my name and i just opened up. i stopped caring about what other people thought of me and i stopped hiding in the background. i forced people to take notice of me. i demanded respect and somehow that changed people’s outlooks of me. i joined the cheerleading squad in sixth grade and by seventh i was the one girls came to when they needed advice. i was the one starting trends in school. middle school was actually a great few years for me. i had a bunch of friends who really weren’t friends but more like a posse, but what did i care? people weren’t making fun of me anymore and snickering at my back. i loved it. middle school flew by and in no time i was in high school and co-captain of the squad there. i rebelled, like any normal teenager tries to do. i looked for attention that i wasn’t getting at home because everyone in my house was older than me. the triplets had graduated before i’d even hit high school and they were all out working jobs to help the family. everyone was busy and so i never really had anyone to stop me when i wanted to do something stupid. so i did a lot of stupid things. i partied and i skipped school on occasion. my grades otherwise were fabulous so my absences usually went unnoticed. but the stupidest thing i could have ever done, was to lose my virginity to my boyfriend at the time in a drunken stupor at one of the many corn field parties we high school kids liked to have. we made a mistake and we were too drunk to realize we’d made that mistake without a condom. a few weeks later i discovered that i was pregnant. thinking that my boyfriend loved me and cared about me, he was the first person i told, and that was the biggest mistake of my life. he took the information i gave him and twisted it around before announcing it to the entire school. literally. he stood on a picnic table overlooking the crowded yard full of high schoolers and announced my infidelity to him.
immediately i was made out to be the horrible bitch who not only cheated, but was out to trap my former boyfriend and anything else people could think of. kids were cruel, really cruel, and i had to wonder where they’d learned a thing like that. i lost all of my friends and people looked down on me for what had happened. they made up lies and told stories that they’d simply come up with on their own which of course was not true. i lost everything, everything except my family. after ditching everyone i’d ever thought cared about me, it was my family that rallied around me and supported me. i backed out of cheerleading before they could kick me out and i reverted back to my quiet self. i said nothing to anyone as i got glared at walking down the hall. i said nothing as girls yanked on my hair or spat at me openly in the middle of class. even the teachers who were supposed to prevent things like that figured i’d had it coming and made no effort to stop them. thankfully it was close to the end of the year and i was able to finish out school without missing any class and i was able to finish out my pregnancy in the privacy of my own home over summer break.
i gave birth in the middle of summer. i had just turned fifteen at the time when i had gone into labor and because i was a minor, the fate of myself and my baby was left in the hands of my parents. i should have had a say but they never gave me that option. the night i’d gone into labor i had been thinking i would keep the baby. my parents had never told me that they’d arranged for an adoption so it went completely unnoticed until the moment came where i delivered my little girl and she was handed off to a couple a few minutes later. i had only gotten to hold her once and throughout the next few years that fact had haunted me. i never did forgive my parents for that, though i never brought it up to them. i tried going to school again when the summer was over and school began but things were as miserable there as they’d been when i left. so i dropped out of that school and got into homeschooling for that year, but it still wasn’t enough for the town of keizer. somehow the whole “scandal” had just festered with the townsfolk until they figured they needed to get rid of me. they did this by attacking my parents. not literally, just occupationally. my father’s hours were cut to the bare minimum until he had to quit simply because he wasn’t making near enough to support us. my mother was fired on erroneous charges that were never investigated and by the end of that spring we were forced to move out of Keizer or go bankrupt. we had no choice but to move.
moving turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to our family. we high-tailed it out of keizer and moved to valkyrie, california. to the lower class ‘burbs nonetheless. but that didn’t matter because my dad got a good paying job right off the bat, as did my mother, and even my brothers and sisters (who had moved back after the “scandal) were making more at better jobs then they had before. i enrolled in a school that knew nothing of my past and that was the end of it. being that i love dance i applied to work as a dancer/waitress at a bar where i made great tips that helped me support my family, something i’d never been able to do before. i was in my junior year and i was happy because for once i wasn’t pitied and people didn’t look at me like a two-bit whore. i could be who i really wanted to be, and so i did just that. on a trip to vegas i ran into old…acquaintances who brought up terrible memories of my past. one of which turned out rather well. i’d run into my ex-best friend who had given me up at the first signs of the scandal, and the boyfriend who’d started it all. ksenia, the friend, and i managed to work things out over time, something that was relatively easier to do because she’d moved to valkyrie just like i had. things with cain didn’t go as well. he hated that i’d moved on and wanted nothing more than to see me miserable. he’d done everything in his power to kill this new me people saw in valkyrie by driving me to a breaking point and then outing me for all my secrets in front of the new friends i’d made. i was pleasantly surprised when the people, whom i’d pretty much just met, had rallied around me and supported me through cain’s badgering. i had friends, realy friends at that, and that meant more to me than anything.
i finished out my junior and senior year without much problems, thankfully. once i graduated i left valkyrie for a chance at going after my dream of being a dancer, but first i’d stopped in san diego, the rumored city where my daughter lived. i found the family that had adopted her and it hadn’t taken them long to recognize me. after telling them my story they let me stay with them for a while, letting me get to know my daughter. when they’d learned that i’d had no say in the adoption, they gave me the option of taking her back. i think it was julia’s idea, the adoptive mother. we shared something that i couldn’t really explain. kind of like we both knew that i would never do anything to wrong my child and that i wasn’t like other teenagers my age. she knew that i was mature and had gotten that way through the hell i’d been through. i never expected to see my daughter again, let alone get her back, but the day that i had had ultimately been the best one of my life. i took lily and finally made it out to new york where i entered into a publicized dance competition and won, becoming one of the most recognizable dancers in the country. those competitions not only start careers but they make you famous and there aren’t many famous dancers out there known to the general public, but i was one of them. i got business thrown at me from every which way after i’d won and eventually my fame pretty much spoke for itself. i had finally reached the one goal i’d striven for from the very beginning and i even got to share that with my daughter.
honestly i never thought my life would wind up here and it feels like it’s only the beginning. i can’t wait to see what else my life has in store for me. i have friends, i have my baby, i have my family and a career i love. what more could a girl ask for?"
