Drop Dead High

Part 25~Campus Dreams

After, the whole Dakota thing. I was traumatized. She was cut, and upset.

I practically had no one, since Luke had moved in with his grandmother for a while. I was going to take Dakota to my new university with me, but she wanted to stay with Aiden. I was going to college for a fresh start. I wanted to start a family. But, without Luke, everything was so difficult for me. I didn't understand.

I decided to forget them for a change. I finally realized, I need to take care of myself, before anyone else. I was so caught up, in all this drama. I didn't need to focus on everyone else. I didn't know the meaning of alone, I guess. Everywhere I went, I had a friend, or someone by my side. I didn't want to be alone, not after what happened after I was 13 years old. My mom had been married, multiple times. But, one guy, stood out. He was so sweet, and had a heart of gold. Until November 10th. He came into my room, and raped me. At first, I shook it off. I mean I was only 13. I didn't think much about, sex.. I never told my mom. What was the point anyways? He is dead now. He died at a river, he drowned. But, I will never forget how happy my mom was at the time. She had been happier, than ever.

Until, the one day, she started her whole, drug thing.
