In order to deal with the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, she often finds herself turning to the blade, and taking her frustrations out on her own delicate flesh.

Someone cares. Little does Channing know, that once she let's Niall into her mind and soul through her letters, he'll stop at nothing to mend her broken past.

Two years ago, I watched him sleep beside me with his hair sprawled on his forehead. Now, I watch him have the time of his life from our television screen. I wouldn’t expect every one of you to know me, since he tried to hide me from all of you. I don’t know why though. Maybe he cared or maybe he was ashamed. But one thing is for sure, it's not really good bye after all.
