Estelle Isenhart:
I have been the excluded girl for as long as I can remember. People didn't like me, kids at school made fun of me, sometimes they went too far. I never understood why they didn't love me, why they hated me.
I always thought I would live like this until I met him. I found peace and happiness in him. I learned to be myself with him. He became someone I loved more than my family. We grew up together. We were happy, at least I thought so.
He left 4 days after my twelfth birthday. No one knew where he went or why he went. After he left I was left alone again. I went back to my quiet and calm self. Until I met my current friends that became my forever family.

Drew Valderez:
God, many years have passed and I still think about her. She never left my mind to begin with. I hated myself for what I did to her. I knew she hated me too, I wanted her to. So that she could forget me easier.
I had to go. I had no choice but to go. They needed me. I couldn't say no either. Because it wasn't something I could say no to.
So i went. I dissapeared without a word. When I left I lost both myself and her. It hurt me so much that I've changed. Even if she saw me I don't think she'd recognize me anymore. After all it has been way too long.
5 years to be exact. 5 years of pure agony and sadness.
