Flames, licking at her feet, trying to swallow her whole and take away what little she had left. Tears, streaming down her cheeks, in honor of memories that would be forgotten and people she would never meet. A hand, to grab hers, and lead her into a world of happiness and joy. If it hadn't been for the hand that had reached out and grabbed her, Sadie wouldn't have found her best friends. Or had the chance to. But when they reach high school, chaos ensues, and a family disaster threatens to tear Sadie's world apart, leaving her only with her fear of loneliness. Although, shadow cannot be created without light...and maybe Sadie's high school days aren't so bad, after all.
