Taylor's mom and Ron don't have the time to pay attention or help me out.  Tyler got enough credits last year to graduate early so he's in LSU as of now.  I haven't talked to Jacob since he moved to Atlanta. he doesn't answer my calls nor does he answer my texts.  So, basically, there's no one here for me..  I cry myself to sleep almost every night. I don't even smile much anymore. The only person who makes me smile is Troy, my next door neighbor. He's soo freakin sweet and cute and tall and dreamy and cute.. I'm sorry. He's just so cute.  We don't go to the same school but he moved in last year. he doesn't know that I get bullied but he doesn't need to know.. I guess that's all you need to know..

They were tired of your poor treatment, tired of your arrogance, tired of your-" The caramel skinned beauty stopped to recompose herself. " They felt as though, it need a woman's touch."

"Bang, Bang."
