A Heart full of stars

Art has been an escape for Alexa for as long as she can remember.
The way the pencil fits perfectly in her hand. The way she can express herself on paper or canvas. The feel of the paint, the colors mixing together into something unique and beautiful.
Being the overweight girl with a mother that only wanted perfection was hard.
Constantly feeling like she wasn't good enough. Not feeling wanted or loved. She didn't know what to do with her life.
The only good thing in her life was her brother and art.
The boy she loved and wanted only saw her as a sister.
Her friends bullied her and used her in any way they could.
Her mother hated her and only wanted her dead.
Nothing went her way.
All she wanted to do was escape, run and not look back.
And she did just that. The second high school was over.
She ran as far away as she possibly could. And only told her brother where she was going.
She ran and started a new life. She started working on herself and doing the one thing she loved the most, art. And a well-known artist she became, using a fake name doing so.
But one day, she gets a call that her brother needs her to return home.
So she goes, goes back to the town she left behind five years ago.
She goes back to the people that hated her.
The man she loved that didn't love her back.
And the mother, the mother that hated her and wanted her dead.
The mother now saying on her death bed.
Join as Alexa goes back to the one place she never thought she would.
To sorrow, love and secrets deep buried
