After a long journey they finally arrived. Kildare island. The outer banks. Lorrena was silent the whole journey, nervously twiddling her fingers hoping her farther Marcus would leave her alone and to her surprise he did. No shouting, no cursing,  no violence, not even trying to kill her. To lorrena it was abnormal and almost foreign for her farther to just ignore her like she wasn't there.

As they pulled up infront of the chateau big John was standing outside waiting upon their arrival." Oh god. Here we go" she whispered to herself. She hopped out the car and ran over to her uncle giving him a tight squeeze. As expected big John was already staring down Marcus with anger in his eyes. Lorrena stepped aside as the  two brothers greeted each other." Nice to see you haven't changed John, apparently you still haven't got the money to move out this shit hole" Marcus remarked glaring at big John." Don't start Marcus just get the rest of  Lorrena's shit out the car and be on  your way."

After her farther left she sat out on the Dock looking out at the sun glistening down on the water. Tears trickled down her face as she thought about everything that had happened in the past year. How was she supposed to have fun with her cousin and do the same activities he loved to do with carrying all this trauma? She didn't want anyone to know so she decided to atleast stay away from wearing anything that showed of any skin that way no one would see her scars.

" Guess who." Lorrena was snapped back to reality and wiped her tears as her vision went black. " Bird!" He wrapped his arms around her back, lifted her up and swung her around.

" Yo John b wait up. Why'd you run off like that?" The blonde looked from John b to the short brunette in his arms. " Eww John b you going to get cudies." The small boy grabbed the back of John b's shirt and pulled him away from the girl." Oh right I forgot to introduce you two. JJ this is Lorrena my cousin and Lorrena this is JJ my best friend." The disgusted look the blonde gave her made Lorrena nervous so she decided to go back to the chateau and let the boys be alone.
























"I don't want go I'm scared." Once again tears steamed down Lorrena's face as the chateau disappeared in the distance." Stop being such a cry baby Ren just stick with me and my friends and you will be fine." A lump formed at the back of her throat. Going to a public school was going to be hard and she dreaded it. Lorrena had mostly been home schooled her entire life apart from when she was in 1st grade and she got bullied which of course she knew 7th grade wasn't gonna be any different.

They met up with John b's friends before school started and Lorrena decided to stick to staying quiet and just following behind John b. John b's friends apart from Pope weren't greatly welcoming to her. Pope was a very friendly and kind friend to her but he spoke way to much about school, cool new facts and just things Lorrena didn't really understand. That just leaves JJ and kiara however not much could be said about Kiara she wasn't fond of Lorrena at first, she hated that John b included her in everything her and the pogue's did so she was civil with Lorrena and talk to her here and there for the sake of John b but it wasn't much of a friend thing. In school on the other hand was different  she didn't seem to want to be around John b and his friends she hung out with the kooks which is understandable as she was one. However JJ was short and simple. He didn't like Lorrena and Lorrena didn't like JJ.























A whole year later and as expected Lorrena hated it. On her first day of 7th grade she made a friend called Taylor. They were inseparable. They would hang out everyday after school whether it was at the chateau or the boneyard but never  at Taylor's house. Lorrena never knew why that was but Taylor would always make excuses as to why she wasn't aloud round her house. However one day that all changed when Lorrena came into school she saw Taylor with Christi and India the kook princesses of Kildare and to her surprise Taylor has ignored her ever since apart from when they bullied her.

Standing alone at side of the court yard after school Lorrena looked down at her phone at pictures of her and her friends over summer but her favourite of them all was one of her being lifted in the air by JJ. He had just given her a bracelet with a dove charm on it for her birthday. They still hated each other but for some reason over summer he would be really nice to her but only some days most of them he was still mean. She just cherished the nice ones.

" Hey guys look what the trash dragged in." Lorrena looked up from her phone at the three girls approaching her and tried to look away from them hoping that if she didn't make eye contact with them they would leave her alone but as usual they didn't. Christi was the first to lung herself toward Lorrena and get right up in her face." This is our hang out spot fatty so why don't you leave before I make you." India just stood behind Christi and nodded in agreement whereas Taylor just starred at me with a blank expression. It was like she didn't care.

" Well I'm sorry to burst you bubble but I don't see your name on it" Lorrena scoffed and faced away from Christi. She always stood up for herself in these sorts of situations and held her own in fight but she was used to it, she had to do the same with her dad after all. Suddenly she got caught off guard when Christi pushed her into a wall and Lorrena felt her legs fall from underneath of her but she managed to stay standing and pushed off the wall lifting up her fist as she planted it right in Christi's face. The shocked look on her face was priceless. Lorrena proudly chuckled to herself.

" You bitch. Why don't you go drown yourself." You would think those words that came out of India's mouth would affect her but they didn't and unfortunately for Lorrena she had already considered it.

Some how India had managed to pick up a large stick and wacked Lorrena over the head with it. Wincing in pain she fell to the floor with a thud and darkness fell over her but it wasn't the end she got another hit to her leg then her back but then an angry familiar voice filled the air as the girls ran off she felt them bend down next to her and place their hand on her shoulder. JJ.
