Annie's POV:

I look at the familiar scenery around me. The bright green grass and sunny sky bring back emotion from many, many years ago. The feeling of my first love and first feeling of worth.

I used to come here for therapy. This place with the vibrant violet flowers have something so soothing about them.

And then I see it , the tree, with our initials carved in it. I run my fingers over them. I remember the time we spent together. I smile to myself. We were such odd, beautiful , and misunderstood people. And I love that, because that made me who I am today. And I have one person to thank. Him. And with that, it takes me back. Back to where it all started.

Fifteen Years Ago:

Annie's POV:

I am a different kind of girl. I have endured a lot. I was put up for adoption when I was first born. I was put into an adoption agency. Yeah, yeah, sad right? It's what we call reality people! My mom obliviously didn't want me, big whoop! I can get on with my life... just not perfectly.

Some people may beg to differ since I am the brainiac who is also as some people may put it "quiet and awkward". Whatever, I don't care what they say. But trust me, I am not who I am at school. I just get through the day, putting up with people that I cannot stand at my school. But I can never seem to find the light of courage inside of me to stand up for myself.

Let's just say, the only reason I'm putting so much work into school is because I don't want to have to depend on people my entire life. I'm tired of being around people, it is frightening. I want to be on my own, where no one can find me. I would love to just live in my " hideout".

Oh right, you don't know what that is. When I was seventeen I ran away from my adoptive family. I didn't stop. I kept going and going. It felt so good to get away from those abusers...literally. And it all comes back to me like a beautiful nightmare.
