The Spoken Words

"Please, Victoria!" He pleaded reaching out for her but she jerked away from him. She turned away as if being near him was pure torture.

"No, Don't you know, Josh?" She said, her voice full of pain and hurt it made him cringe. "T-Those words you've spoken cannot be taken back or forgotten. They stay with that person wither they like it or not. It's what makes us... us."

She said, her voice grew stronger towards the end as she stood straighter. She turned to face him,dried tears on her cheeks. A fierce look in her eyes.

"Those words are forever spoken, never to be taken back. So go, Josh. Go, so I can move on from the spoken words." She spat. His eyes widened, this was not the Victoria he knew. No, this is a stronger one. The one that no longer needed to be shielded from the harsh word that were spoken. She was made stronger because if this, she was made stronger of... The Spoken Words.

Victoria Barnhart, seventeen years old. She was the popular gilt in school, at least that was before her boyfriend- oops, sorry ex-boyfriend humiliated her in the middle of school. Then after that she became the schools laughing stock. The bullying and public shaming had gotten so bad get parents had to get her out of school and move because of it. After that she becomes closed off, barely even speaking to her parents. She decides to be home schooled, since her mother is already a stay at home mom. But when financial trouble comes her mother is forced to get a job, and is forced to get a tutor for her daughter.

Blake Johnson, eighteen years old. He is a kind hearted teen who loves animals. Upon hearing around town that the Bernhard's need a tutor he steps up and takes the job for free. And once he meets the shy, closed off Victoria he just wants to see her out of her shell.

But if course Victoria wants nothing to do with the nosy boy who wants to find out why she shuts him out every time he tries to get close to her, and why she only trusts herself with get feelings and/or thoughts.
