My name is Tessa McPherson.
Before, I was a simple girl with a fairly regular life. I was a good student, a decent track runner, and a somewhat-important player on the basketball team.
But, let’s be honest, you don’t care about that. You’re not going to read this because you want to know about the before. You want to know the good stuff. You want to know how I changed, what I went through. You want to know how low I, personally, was willing to go. Maybe you’re trying to justify your own deeds. Maybe you’re just curious. Or, maybe you’re picking this up in some unforeseeable, unknown future where all of this is just a past nightmare. Either way, you don’t care about the before.
So this, right here, is the after.
THIS STORY IS RATED PG-13 BECAUSE OF CUSSING, GORE, AND POSSIBLE (NON EXPLICIT) SEXUAL SITUATIONS.
