All I remember is the running. The pounding of the tough gravel, uneven pavement, and soft earth beneath my feet. The sweat that slowly drips from the top of your forehead, trickles down the side of your face and then stops, right by the corner of your lips, almost as if it is mocking, teasing your need for water. The exhaustion and just utter lack of sleep because there is no place, no time to rest. And because of this, the "never being able to catch your breath" feeling never ever leaves, because stopping means risking getting caught.
And getting caught was not an option.

Meet Elizabeth (if that even is her real name)
Waking up in a hospital isn't fun to say the least, but waking up without any memory of who you are, well let's just say Elizabeth has her work cut out for her.
Now enter the Carters
Blake Carter (aka lead singer of a world famous band), back from a world tour, is in the car that hits Elizabeth, but (here's where you get a future nominee for Good Samaritan) he offers to become her legal guardian.
But what about her real family?
*In the process of being rewritten so sorry if there is some inconsistency in the quality*
Mercy Willows never knew what was coming.
She never knew that her dad was suicidal her whole life.
And most importantly, she didn't know her sister blamed her for it.
But Mercy was too late. And the world came crashing down on her. For the past 2 years she put up with it, kept her mouth shut in front of everyone. Made sure she seemed like the quiet and shy kid. Made sure she was never the centre of attention.
She let people bully and tease her relentlessly for her name and looks. She let everyone treat her as if she was nothing. She was all by herself and the one most important thing was that no one could be her friend except herself.
Except everyone has a breaking point.
So Mercy runs away.
And little did she know the events to come.
