Only I can mend all of the choices he has made, it's my responsibility now. I killed him, & my life takes over where he left off. Lol, so fucking dramatic. This book is probably the most Gen Z thing you'll ever read. But it's all true, the walls are being torn down, & no longer am I going to hide. The most vulnerable I'll ever be. To my family, friends, old & new, & all other loved ones & people mentioned, forgive me. I'm finally letting go.Complete

Please, try not to hate her. She's just a girl, after all. She's still figuring things out and doesn't understand what love truly means. She's never learned how to love or be loved. It's not entirely her fault. Others should have tried harder to understand her instead of blaming her. They left her feeling abandoned and labeled her as a monster. She's lost in a whirlwind of emotions she can't comprehend. So please, don't condemn her. ________________ Entry for the 8 Chapter Challenge and I have succeeded in it!!
