My mom ‘loved’ my dad, but she left him. My mom ‘loved’ me, but she abandoned me. Dimitri ‘loved’ me, but he left me. Christian’s parents loved him, but they became soulless monsters and tried to turn him into the same. Lissa ‘loved’ me but she threw me away. And I thought some small part of Adrian ‘loved’ me, until the day he hit me. Someone once said that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I have to say that I disagree. Because I learned the hard way that LOVE is a four letter LIE. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* It has been 4 years since LS.

I shrugged at Raine motioning her to follow. Rachel moved fast for a girl is four inch heels, she was already at the end of the short driveway and picking her way along the road. Raine and I scurried along catching up with Rachel. Right now she seemed quite civilized and normal but when we were out of sight of the old house she abruptly turned, stopping right in front of us. "You better not make a move on my boyfriend, you have been glancing at him every minute and you hear I am the queen at the school and don't you think you can barge in with your whole I ran away sad story and good looks and steal my title" She ranted, her nose almost touching mine. But Rachel, oh Rachel you got it all wrong. Your 'boyfriend' is just a cheating bastard and a pig, that story is a lie that you are too stupid to see through, I don't want to be queen of the school and thanks for the compliment. Bitch. I thought staring at her in disbelief. "Nothing to say, good lets hope it stays that way" Rachel snarled, and then turned and pointed at a large school like building with a stone exterior and large soccer field in the back. It didn't look like a five star hotel but it looked homey. "I'm going to hang with some friends you can find your way around. And don't stay out past dark lots of scary things lurk there" Rachel hissed trying to scare us, ha she hasn't seen the half of it.
