14-year-old Charlotte Kente has been waiting to open her fourth grade letter ever since she wrote it back in September of 2015. Once she finally reads it, she realizes the shocking and sad reality that her 9-year-old self had to live in. Her only wish is to go back in time and fix the problems that her childhood self had in hopes that things would be different in the present. That far fetched wish comes true. Vowing to better and mentor her younger self, she spends weeks back in 2015 to do exactly that. When her blast from the terminates, she truly believes that she accomplished her goal. The whole project is either completely useless, or it might change her life. But can weeks in only one small portion of her life really change the present as much as she hopes?

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

"Your mom and I have to go. We have to go now. Can you be alone?" "Yes. Why do you have to go?" Rick's eyes are red from crying. "She has the right to know." My mom says, but she still won't look at me. Have the right to know what? ________________________ Today is the first day of Shantinys last year of high school.
