"Hey, Belle. Sweetheart," He tried again, his voice growing more desperate with worry. "It was just a dream. You're here with me. With Jesse."
Barely audible, Annabelle finally spoke up. "My Jesse?"
"Your Jesse," He nodded. "Always yours."

Annabelle Gibson was basically sunshine personified. She was always happy, always out with friends- laughing, drinking, dancing. She was kind to everyone, even the people who didn't deserve it from her.
No one would ever be able to tell the silent struggle Annabelle faces- the trauma that ruled her childhood, the face that haunted her dreams.
Although Annabelle was older now, she was still that terrified little girl.
And she had no idea how to cope with that.
------------------------------------------
Jesse Lynch was angry.
He always had been, and he always would be. Why wouldn't he be?
He grew up living in a house where nothing was safe. And, to cope with that danger, Jesse decided to make himself dangerous.
He learnt to fight, learnt to defend himself. But it still wasn't enough to cope.
And so, Jesse turned to drugs. If the anger and the fighting did nothing to save him, maybe the drugs would at least let him forget.
