"What are you doing honey?" Asks my dad as he walks into my room. "Oh yeah know, the usual, listening to music." I say calmly. My dad has always wanted me to go to law school. That's just not me though. I want to run around, travel, and just... You know.... Be free. And that's what happened when I met Trenton Hines my eighth grade year.
Yes, I know. You are probably thinking, "eighth grade?? She doesn't know what love is!" But I do... I know the way it feels to only want to see them. To be with them, nobody else. He brought out this light in me that nobody else saw. And I'm going to tell you about it....

I glance at him and give him a fake smile before he comes up to me and gives me a hug. The warmth of his body was reassuring but I feel the tears start to come down his face. I didn't want to lose him......ever. My dad Kevin who always is there by my side needed me there for him I glance at him and smile and he kisses my cheek. He whispers "Everything...will be alright." I wasn't quite sure what he meant but I nod my head. He lets go of me and looks at me before he turns away he says "I will be in my room if you need anything, okay princess?" In a quiet tone I respond with an okay. I recall my mom saying before she left to me " I love you Samantha." It just replays and replays in my head "I love you Samantha."

"Samantha, you know I'd love you too, but there isn't any school around this area, remember? My school is in the countryside, with nothing within a short driving dinstance" he all but rejected me. "Then can I move schools? Attend your boarding school?" He was silent, then let out a long sigh of defeat. "I'll enroll you now. Pack your things, I'll send a car in the morning for you." That was all I needed to hear, and I was thrilled. Without making noise, I danced around my room and repeatedly thanked him. Later that night, after the usual abuse, I silently packed my things when she was passed out. I hurried in doing it, and stored them at the back of my closet so she couldn't see them when she checked up on me. You're doing it, Sammy.
