Scarlet Cornell's life is and always was horrible. Her parents were sick not ill or dying but the only word to describe them was sick. Scarlet did things she neede to so she could live. And you know living and being alive are two different things, two very different things. She thought her life would turn around. Well it did, but I'm not sure it's what she expected. "Life's funny like that, but that's just The Weird Truth"
