Love Unexpected

Hello. My name is Annalyn Collins. I am a normal 18 year old girl.
Well except for my mother dieing from an overdose four years ago. Two years before she died, she married my stepfather, Alex. After my mother died, Alex began sexually abusing me, breaking my bones if I tried to object. I suffer from severe depression, because of him.
One day I was on an app called TalkLife. TalkLife is for people with depression; or for people who want to help. It's a very supporting community. Well, one day I got a message from a handsome boy. Being suprised a man was even talking to me, we exchanged Snapchat information. We began talking, and I found myself falling for him, day by day. He made me laugh, and forget the depression for days at a time.
Love comes at unexpected times. The love is new, for me and him. But the love is strong, more powerful than a lightning strike.
