Prologue

I looked back one last time at the house I once called home and forced back the tears that threatened to spill over. It was not the same warm and loving home I had grown up in. There were no more beautiful flowers and my tire swing that I had spent so many hours on during long warm summers was gone. Not a single trace of my father or me was left. It was if we had never existed or mattered.  

The night my dad left, my world came crashing down around me. He left me alone, vulnerable to this world. The only person who had ever truly loved me left me. I had no one left. Not Annie or Manny, not anyone. My mother never wanted me. I was the mistake that ruined her life and beauty. I had taken everything from her. Now that he was gone she had no reason to pretend that she cared. That night, after hours of crying and cursing my dad, Annie and everyone else, I promised myself I would never love again. Ever. I built a wall around my wounded heart to keep away anyone who could damage it any further.

Moving was not such a bad thing. I needed to get away from here and erase my dad, Manny and Annie from my memories and heart. If I could easily be erased from theirs then why couldn't I do the same. I needed to start over. I made my way to the taxi and waved goodbye to the woman I had once called "mom". She had a triumphant smile on her face. No...not a smile, a sneer. She didn't wave back. She just stood there watching me, counting down the seconds until I left.  I was no longer her problem. She was free from me.
