Yet, there was Axel. He was the bad boy of the popular's, but he was never too mean to her. She started tutoring him in Biology and his torments stopped, but his friend's didn't, and not once did he stand up for her.   

After college, Lauren has now moved into the Windy City in hopes of becoming the best nurse she can be. She's moved on from her past and is now a beautiful woman. She let go of the people who tortured her and is now levelheaded and determined to show everyone how amazing she is.     

But what happens when her past reappears?

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does.

No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.
