Meredith's mom is sick. No, not in the cold-curable-by-meds way, nor in the impending-cancerous-doom way. Meredith's mother is psychologically sick and refuses to seek help. Consequently Meredith has taken on the role of the peacekeeper and her little brother's caretaker. At the mere age of 17, she has assumed the role of the level-headed adult in her crazy single mother's household. Battling with her mother's illness her entire life, Meredith has always felt more mature than her years. Her few school friends are superficial relationships at best; and she's been working at a one-hour photo development shop since she was 16. Meredith feels like she is caught in limbo, stuck not fitting into the teenage world where she belongs and the adult world in which she must survive. As her home life continues to worsen, Meredith finds comfort in the unsuspected happiness of a stranger's photography. When she finally meets this stranger, will she be surprised to find he's no stranger at all? This is Meredith's story.

AN: I'm trying to integrate some new parts into the old version but it's messing up. I wouldn't even question the tenses or the mistakes since it's wibblywobblytimeywimey stuff :)
