Bruised Not Broken

As far as she's concerned, Mia's life began after the world ended. Her pre-apocalypse existence was filled with nothing but loneliness and alienation until someone came into her life and changed it forever.

Disclaimer: This is my first fanfic ever. Like ever, ever. So I first off apologize if it's shit. Secondly, this fanfic will probably not go by the show's events. Characters will stay the same, but events will be altered and some changed completely and absolutely. I'll also probably add scenes that were cut from the show that I thought should've been canon. Thirdly, I really hope you enjoy this story and make sure to leave a comment telling me what you think.

Dedication: To my constant, April, who not only inspired me to begin to write, but also helped me edit this fic.

TRIGGER WARNING: There is mention of abuse in this fic, so be warned before reading on.
