I wrote this story when I was 13 and have decided to come back and edit it. In the next few weeks, I'll be going through and improving/adding on to the story. The story will change significantly, so if you have already read it I encourage you to read it again. I will be taking down and republishing chapters after I have edited them. I hope you all enjoy the new story, thank you! (characters and themes will remain the same)
