Let me explain myself. My name is Gracie Sway and I am seventeen years old. I have medium length blonde hair and dull brown eyes. I live in the small town of Hutton. Two years ago I met Adam Carter. That year I met him, we became close, and I fell in love. But then he got Olivia Harper pregnant, and him and his father moved away. The year after that, I had spent moping around, because of what Adam had done. He had gotten a girl pregnant, and he was a father whether he likes it or not. Olivia gave birth, but the baby has never met Adam.
Anyways, I worked at a little restaurant downtown that paid me fair money.

I laid on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. My fingers twiddled around the little necklace around my neck. It was a flat metal surface and desire was etched into it. I had worn the necklace since 6th grade. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I pulled it out, looking at the screen.
Natalie: oh god. He's back.
Natalie was my best friend. She was the same age as me, but had brown short hair and bright blue eyes.
Confused, I typed back:
Me: who's back?
Natalie: are you stupid
Me: who's back????
Natalie: Adam.
I froze. No, that couldn't be right. I let out a shaky breath, and typed back,
Me: your lying
Natalie: no, today I saw him with his father downtown walking out of the Plaza Apartments. I swear.
Me: Nat, this can't be happening. I can't do this.
Natalie: I think it would be good if you guys maybe met up and talked
I clicked my phone off, and stood up. My stomach churned and I closed my eyes. I slid to the floor, and curled up into a ball.
"Please god no," I whispered.
