Erin had it all. From a wealth, a family, great three older sisters, the best schools, the best friends, best high school, best clothes, and and she was even privileged with her own appearance.
But all that changed for Erin, once she turned eighteen, she experienced more than one soul can deal with. Even though somewhere along the time she was growing up, she had a rough childhood. She took down a lot of beating, bashing, threats, yelling and scolding from her overly-stressed mother. Her father was always out of town for at least seven months, but would come and check on them for two months and then go back at it again.
March 03, 2013. Erin's parents went through a fatal crash that lead to the instant death of her father, and her mother went into a coma. But she didn't last long, eight months later she woke up and was inserted into a mental hospital half of her brain was damaged due to the accident. That didn't last long either, four months later and her mother passed away.
Erin needed change, at the age of twenty years old she decided to finally take a turn in her life. She packed up, grabbed her passport and decided to move away from a place she called home and torture. She had memories, she had nightmares, but mostly she had nothing left. Her sisters moved on, one got married, one got divorced and has kids, and the other works and constantly travels.
Erin moved, she knew she will suffer to go into a college and have a side job. Although she was brilliant and got in by scholarship but that wasn't enough for a twenty year old that wants to be independent and live alone.
She was broken but strong. She had no one but she felt the whole world was on her side. She had no one and didn't feel like she ever did. That was until she met him, and him, well until she met them. Things got complicated for the girl that never needed anyone.

""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?"
I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest.
"Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.
Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing."
