Speak to Me
I'm Lea Devlin. I had been kind of a nanny for a long time. Something has changed my life technically in a split second. Someone has changed my life. You might think it's my story, but it's not really. This is HER story, from my perspective. Her story needs to be heard. I knew it immediately when I met her. Broken and rough at the edges but she's so beautiful in the inside despite all the pain she has been put through, despite her young age. This is the story of a very special and very lonely girl. We met just in time: by that time we had both given up. *** This story was inspired by Life is Strange and Voice from the Stone ***Complete
