the beauty of one's heart

prologue

Have you ever wondered why everything happens the way it happens?

Meet Jasmine Gail she is abused by her stepdad and bullied at school. She has no another blood family left.

Now meet Shane Blackwell, he is your typical bad boy but what no one knows is that he is different deep down. He had a rough past something that made him turn into a troubled kid. He has everything he wants but still he feels empty inside.

What happens when Jasmine and Shane cross paths?

Will it be love at first sight? Or more heartbreak? Or maybe even.... death?

------------------------------------------------------------

5 years ago my mom died.

5 years ago my dad started drinking.

5 long years of abuse by him.

5 years since my best and only friend Sarah has comfort me.

5 years since i've been bullied and mocked at school.

5 years since all hope is lost for me.

5 years since i've been broken and damaged.

My name is Jasmine Gail, I'm 17 turning 18 in 3 months. Let me tell you about me my mother died from cancer when i was 12 years old and from then on my father would get drunk, cranky and beat me but deep down somewhere inside him, I still glimpse abit of love left for me, he always seems nice when he is sober, my father is not my real dad, my mom remarried when i was 3 but my dad still loved me and i am grateful for that but now i wish i could join my mom in heaven which I hope she is in.

My name is Shane Blackwell, I'm 18. I have an older brother named Max, he is 22, he is the apple of Dad's eye. Me on the other hand is known as the 'troubled kid' because I always get into fights and much to the disappointment of my parents, some of my friends are real bad influence on me to quote my mom " they smoke, they fight, they are rude, a couple of them have police cases (one a robbery and one assault)". Max has set himself up nicely to take over dad's company because he is older and dad always said he would. Dad loves to sing him praises "Max excel at school, he was is high school's best sports student, he got many awards for debate club" I'm sick of listening to "you should be more like Max", Or "why can't you be more like Max."
