"You spend your whole life building walls to keep yourself safe and one day, one person comes along and breaks the boundaries of space and time then all of a sudden your guard goes crumbling down, leaving you raw, emotional, and susceptible to reality and the harsh slap that comes with it." -------------------- Stella Garbor was a broken girl from a broken home. Moved from foster home to foster home, she was convinced nobody wanted her. But one day, she catches the eye of Clayton Reid and his fascination with her grows as he waits and plots his way to her heart.

When the one place she calls home is about to be demolished by a rich man Stella does whatever it takes to save her home. She goes on a journey where she experiences loss, anger, and revelation. *This is a short story and the whole story is in one chapter* Happy reading ♡

In our heads we were sisters, and at the time we were our mothers' only children. We didn't know the turmoil festering between our mothers, we were kids, we didn't how bad or harmful the world could be. Though we'd soon learn. Even children are exposed to the cruelties of the world, it's unfortunate and sometimes life-changing but it's how our world worked. (On hold until I finish Letting Him Save Me)
