The three guards that stand outside the apartment door don't really help my cause either. They are loyal to him. Not to me, they all look fancy in their black tailored suits and impeccable white crisp shirts not to mention the fitted slacks they wear along with black dress shoes. James has always requested they look the part to play the part and if they didn't they would no longer have a job here. If he can be so mean to them, they can only imagine what he's like to me. I'm sure they've heard by now the knocks of broken furniture been thrown around the room in his rage. His loud shouting and more importantly my whimpers. It seems not tho, if they did surely they would help me? They couldn't just stand back and allow this sort of behaviour?

Alone. Violated. Unworthy. Untrustworthy. No one cares. These are all the things that have happened. Here I am attempting to be me. The real me not the new one. I need to be careful. If I loose myself in this mixed up world I might just forget the importance of actually living. My story, is not so nice. I on the other hand am too nice. I take things to heart. I'd look for the best in everyone and I would try my damned hardest to help anyone see the good in them and In the world around them. After dealing directly with this so called interactions with my peers and my elders I am no longer that person. I am now just like the rest. Numb, So numb inside that every day that passes I wonder if today will be the day it all ends. Hoping that sooner rather than later I can put this all to bed and just move on with my life. Not care what anyone thinks of me and I could do everything in my power to return to the bubbly goodie two shoes that use to see the best in society. The girl that I use to be. This is my fight to live , my fight to love. --------------------------------------

Kevin opened the doors and a few minutes later in walked someone from Lilly's past!

Dalton sat over looking the river hole in his home town of Jersey, ever since Dalton was a boy this place was his escape. An escape from all the rows that his parents had, an escape from all of his teenage drama, but most importantly.. this was his escape from the real world when the pressure of life proved to be too much to bare. Staring into the red evening sky Dalton couldn't help but to close his hazel nut brown eyes and just listen to the waves in the water, crashing off one another, the wind blowing through the branches of the trees which was making a whooshing sound all around him, this is where he felt most at peace. This is the place that felt like home.
