      I feel like my life hadn't even started until I saw her running across the sand.

Everyone has that one moment that changed the course of their entire life. Sometimes it's a major moment, like a family member dying, and sometimes it's a simple thing, like watching a girl with pretty blue eyes run across the sand.

I don't even remember how my life was before that moment—before I saw her. For a moment I couldn't even remember my name.

The first time we talked I had scrambled up my words so much, I'm surprised she wanted to talk to me again. The whole rest of the day I was worried she had thought I was crazy and refuse to even breath the same air as me, but she didn't. She came back.

I had trapped underground for six years with a bunch of idiots and I guess she understood that. So she didn't call me weird for being, well, weird.

I think that's when I truely fell in love with her.

Madi Griffin was kind, beautiful, trustworthy, and selfless. She was perfect. I would have died for her if she had ever given me the chance.

But she never did.

      My time in the Bunker was strange. I had gone in when I was 6 and almost everything I learned and knew didn't matter anymore.

My mother had sacrificed herself the first night. The bunker had too many people, some had to go. All she wanted to do was make sure I would be alive. To her defense, she didn't know what it would become.

I don't remember a lot of the first year down there, I don't know when things when bad. It was almost as if I opened my eyes one day and the people were in the pit, fighting for their freedom.

That had been my biggest fear—ending up in the pit, so I made sure not to do anything wrong. I listened to everything octavia had told us, I made sure not to break anything—on purpose or accidentally, and I kept to myself. My logic was if I kept to myself no one would hate me.

And it worked, for almost two years. Until I made the small mistake of not checking over my shoulder before turning around.

Meeting Bella and Joseph was one of the best mistakes I ever made. They made me who I am today, they saved me from mind, from the fate I had sealed myself to.

Bella was a very happy person. Any room she walked into immediately became a happier place. I'm pretty sure nobody didn't like her, there were some people who though she was too nice, but most of those people ended up in the fighting pit and died.

Bella was like the sister I never had, she would tell me everything, and I would tell her everything. What I felt, she felt, what she felt, I felt.

Joseph was Bella's older brother. They had the same father, but different mothers, so they were raised very differently.

Joseph came first, he was older by a year. His mother hadn't been happy that his father left and went with Bella's so she tried to force Joseph to hate bella too, but Joseph had never done what his mother told him.

Joseph adored his baby sister, and he protected her as if his life depended on it. So when a random girl he had never met before accidentally pushed her down the stairs, he didn't like the girl very much.

I was that girl.

Don't worry, he warmed up to me eventually.















AUTHOR TALKS!!
Totally forgot this book was a thing even though it was all I lived and breathed back in 2020

Also didn't proof read because I've lost any care I had in my writing. Sorry if there is a lot of random plot jumping.

Bella and Joseph = sunshine & sunshine protector.
