Was it her beauty that reeled me in? The mysterious, deep, color her eyes contained? Or her addictive smile, smell, or even her personality? It was none of these things. The reason she's too afraid and too sad to even talk is what made her even more mysterious and captivating to me. Not talking for six years as a side affect from a tragic accident is what I learned had caused it; her sister and mothers death traumatized her. And my goal is to help her break free, to help her gain the courage to live her life to the fullest. To speak to me.

*******ATTENTION!!: I've decided that *eventually* i'll be COMPLETELY overhauling this story and making it into an actual story (you know the kind.. with dialogue and characters and feelings and such.. lol), instead of its current "In your face, here it is, this is what happened" type of story that it is currently. I'm *thinking* that i'll begin *most likely* when "Downfall of the 'It Girl' that i'm currently working on is finished. I have enough trouble keeping up with 2 stories at a time, no way could i manage 3 at a time lol. Thanks! much <3! =)********* The true story of becoming pregnant at 17 and having my son at 18 and all the hardships of a single mom, and teen pregnancy. No glitz or glamor here.
