Her name is Elizabeth Mendoza. She's 16 and moved to California. She starts high school, but...
She didn't exactly move with her family, her mother passed away when she was 12 because of her abusive dad. She also has a little sister named Natasha.

These days I feel more better and comfortable with Eric. I explained everything to Eric, about my dad, adoption, my sisters, and my mom. He was really upset about it and I could tell he cared a lot for me. Me and him are being closer as friends and we hang out a lot at his house. He also said he would protect me if anything happened. I really appreciate that thought and how sweet he is.
It was 7:30 in the morning when I decided to get ready for school. I brushed my teeth and wore:

After spending time with Eric, I developed an obsession for turtle necks. I also think turtle necks are helpful in covering up the scars on my neck. My dad omce took a burning chain because I spilled my tea on him, on accident of course, and he took it and threw it on my neck. I went down stairs and Tanya looked so worried, like she was about to cry. She told me to sit down, so I sat down in front of her at the table.
Me: Is something wrong Tanya?
T: Listen, I don't know how to say this, but do you promise to be more careful, At school? When you walk to school and back, when you walk the dog, be more careful. Okay?
Me: yes, of course, but is there like a killer on the loose or something? A kidnapper? Anything?
She just shook her head and said she would tell me when I come home from school. I say goodbye and I see Eric in front of the house. He walks me to school now, like friends are supposed to.
Me: hey you must've waited for ages, sorry.
E: no actually I just came. Are you okay, you seem a bit worried?
Me: Oh, um- actually no. Tanya told me to be more careful walking outside. I don't know why but she said she would tell me after school. I don't think she wanted to worry me, but I'll tell you once I find out.
E: oh, I haven't heard of any kidnappings here or something like that.
Me: that's what I said. I am worried. What could be so bad? I'm sure it's not that bad.
And with that, we both just sighed and moved on. We reached school and it was like a bubble. I couldn't think straight, at all.
R: hey Lizzie! Olivia told me what happened and she's telling Jackson, wanna come?
Me: why did she wait 2 full weeks to tell him?
R: (shrug) I don't know, but I'm scared on how he's gonna react.
Me: oh I can't, my head hurts, I'm gonna go outside for a moment, ok?
We walked away from each other.
Olivia's pov
Ok, I'm telling Jackson I'm pregnant, I can do this. I walk up to him and he's with his friend Payton Moormeier. Rose came with me because I can't do this alone.
