Claire can not be hurt by others, she will not allow it. There are two people who can hurt Claire- herself, and the girl in the mirror.
Say what you want, it's nothing that she hasn't already heard from herself.

*These are only the first, very short chapters. I'm sure there are spelling and grammar mistakes, it would be helpful if you pointed those out to me. I didn't edit very much because I would have lost my nerve and not publish any of it. I would appreciate (CONSTRUCTIVE) critism. Thank you, hope you enjoy.
