When she was 2, after a few months of walking, she was walking really fast and tripped over a toy. The poor child busted her lip open on her sippy cup which was in her mouth. Her dad picked her up and took her to the ER. The doctor super glued the child's lip together and told her, "Good as new! Just gonna be a scar." She believed him for he knew what he was talking about.

When she was 7, she tried to ride her uncles skateboard. She fell and scraped up her knee. As blood oozed onto the side walk, her mother came out and doctored her up. "Just a scratch darling, it will be better soon." The little girl smiled and believed her mom because later the wound healed and looks brand new.

When she was older and now 12, she fell for a boy. He made her heart melt for a reason she never understood. They both said they loved each other but the truth was she didn't know what loved was and when he said, "You're my one and only." She couldn't believe him because even though she thought she knew how she felt and how he told her they would be together for ever, she always knew there would be someone more beautiful, smart, and his type than she was.
