The Domino Effect

Do you ever wonder about the power that one choice can make? How one choice can have a ripple effect? How does one choice, one small insignificant choice, cause such a tragic event? Well I haven't had to just think about it, I've lived it. I've seen the damage that one choice can make. ___________________________________ Lillian Berg has lost everything. Everything she has ever loved has been taken away from her. All due to a choice, a small insignificant choice, that she made. Now, because of what she has done, she has to deal with losing her parents, home, and life as she knows it. The hardest part is knowing that she could've prevented this all. She could've prevented living in a foster home, she could've prevented the nightmares, she could've prevented having her sister be adopted and taken away from her, she could've prevented the harsh rumors, and she definitley could've prevented meeting Xavier Adams, her sister's new step-brother. Lillian wants to hate Xavier. She wants to hate the fact that he's taking her place as the older sibling. She wants to hate the fact that he has the life she wants. She wants to hate the fact that he's so perfect that she feels unworthy to be in his presence. But she can't hate him. She can't hate the fact that he tries to understand her situation, or the fact that he takes in his new little sister, Cora, with open arms, and she definitely can't hate the fact that around Xavier she feels almost normal again. Lillian's life has been turned around, and it keeps getting worse each day. Like a domino effect Lillian's life is spinning out of control with no sign of slowing down. However, Xavier is determined to show Lillian that maybe something good can come from an incident so horrible. And maybe that good thing could be him.
