I'll Be

October 14th will be the date I'll never forget. The night that my parents were taken away. The night that my siblings and I lost everything. That night where all I could do was pretend to be strong for the sake of my younger brother and sister when really, I had never been more terrified. Since then, I was cautious with everything I did. I lost my parents and I would go insane if I lost Lloyd and Lauren. And of course the new people I loved, the people that saved us and took us in. The boy that I had fallen madly in love with.

My name is Lexie Connells. I'm sixteen years old. I survived a house fire along with my fifteen year old sister, Lauren and three year old brother, Lloyd. When everything was lost, Noelle Winters came and saved us and treats us like her own. But her son, the same age as me, treats me differently to a sister.

Ben Winters. Many say he's a cocky player but none of them have seen the side of him that makes my heart go crazy. With his dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, he made me feel safe when I was at my lowest point. Ben helped me get back up again and stood by my side throughout. Ben's my crying shoulder, he's love suicide, he's the greatest fan of my life.
