" You left us, Gracie! you're the one who walked out without a goodbye, but by a letter! How, why would you do that to us" Owen slammed his fist down on the table making it shake and create a 'bang' throughout the cold, quiet house. Making my other brothers flinch at his raise of voice and sound of his fist colliding with the table.
" You ignored me! You didn't talk to me for YEARS, Owen! I was miserable, and I was slipping I needed to get out! I may have walked out, but you're ones that left me alone" I shouted, pulling my hair from my roots, wanting everything to just stop. " So, don't think for a second that I had a choice, because for once in my fucking life, I put myself before anyone and I got out!" fuming, I turned on my heel walking away from shouts of protests.

Gracie Anderson was miserable in her house, she was ignored, her own family ignored and shunned her after the death of their mother. Everything that was going for Gracie disappeared after the death, she was the shell of her old happy, bubbly self. Her broken family was grief- stricken after, and blamed Gracie, so they abused, bullied, and terrorized her until her breaking point. So after years of PTSD, being bullied by her brother, and ignored by her father, Gracie leaves. Giving them each a letter explaining why she left. 

So can her destroyed family pick themselves back up again for will Gracie be lost and gone from their lives forever?

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy! You just open your mouth and let the words that are in your head, come out of your mouth." "It's not that simple," I fought down emotions that were building up. "Yes, it is! See, i'm doing it right now!" "No-it's not!" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes! just talk, dang it!-" "You just expect it to be easy to talk about my dead parents?! About how guilty I feel for not visiting their grave for the past 11 years?! I didn't even realize how long it's been, I had pretty much forgotten about them for 11 years! Do you know what kind of guilt is eating at me right now!" I shouted in angst, my hands grabbing at the clothes on top of my head and pushing it into myself, wanting to just be shielded away from everything I was feeling, guilt, sadness, from thinking about more people I've lost in my life. Before I could even react, Keeley's tiny arms wrapped themselves around my torso. ~

Genevieve Anderson, the girl that had been left behind and forgotten. In a town where everybody knows everybody, meaning that no one goes unnoticed. Nobody just grabs a bag and leaves in the middle of the night, without someone seeing something. Nobody changes identity over night, and is suddenly left with the care of their father in her hands. Forgotten over night, Genevieve changes the person that everyone thought they knew. Gone was the girl that would smile and wave to everyone, was replaced by a girl that had a need for stealing and getting by every day. She had been left with the responsibility of an old ranch that was no longer in operation and the care of her father, who had been to war, and was suffering from additions like there was no tomorrow. Gone was the girl that depended on her big brothers to open the gate, replaced with a girl that worked long hours at the ranch, before she was sneaking out after midnight, to drive whatever cars her brothers had left behind. Except, one day, something happens and everything takes a turn for the worse. "I left you here, for 20 minuets, and you have already let him relapse?! I trusted you, for a second, and you backstabbed me?! I can't believe any of you anymore, because you are made of lies!" Holding on by a string, Genevieve isn't sure how much more she can take, especially when people appear from the past she thought she left behind, when she was 5 years old. Time moves on for a reason, doesn't it? "I told you to forget about it. It's in the past, and nobody has ever asked me to do what you are asking me to do. You are asking me to put away my boots and hat, and stand in front of people in heels and a puffy dress. That's not who I am, if you had stuck around to find out who I really am.
