Half a year has past since I moved in with the Porter family. I'm also currently dating Evan Porter, the only son of the family. Honestly, I can kind of remember my past. I get flashbacks and nightmares once in a while. All the past memories I remember are bad. Not just bad, but I was lonely, and my entire life I have never felt happy or safe.

Really, I don't want to go back there. My life as April is the happiest I've been my whole life. I feel safe, and I have a people who love me here. My family.

Each time I get a flashback it is always a quick flash and also a blur. I get a unsteady feeling in my stomach and I want to gag. It feels like I spent my past trapped in a scary place. Maybe even tortured. I don't understand my past exactly and the memories that flash in my head. Am I curious? Yes. Will I try to remember? No.

I have a perfect life here with my new family. Not remembering my past is even better. I don't want to remember how scary my life was, or relive the pains that I felt. FELT. Meaning I hope I will never feel it again.
