Cecily used to be such a friendly person. The kids she went to school with literally think she's a different person.
The summer before she was supposed to start grade nine Cecily was injured in a car accident. Her physical injuries healed but her emotional ones still plague her.
Her parents don't understand her and eventually, thinking her stupid or retarded they begin to become ashamed of her.
When her mother runs off with another man over Christmas during grade ten, Cecily's father turns to drinking.
Soon the drinking spirals out of control and he starts abusing Cecily.
Then Daniel arrives, he's every girl's dream. For some reason he has eyes only for Cecily.
While some scars are permanent, others can heal...

Hope

3 parts Complete Mature

Kate was used to dealing with unfair consequences. Having a less than ideal home life and no one else to support her, she had learned to deal with things on her own. She had learned not to feel and especially not to hope. So when someone new comes into her life Kate does the best thing she can think of, she shuts them out. But, after a series of events in the course of one day, they are thrown back together, and Kate is given the chance to explain herself. Explain why she was so guarded and why she had closed herself off in the first place. And maybe along the way Kate learns that things aren't always so bad. That feeling and hoping aren't the worst things in the world. ***Warning: Mention of abuse is included in this story. Please don't read if that is a trigger for you in any way. Hope you enjoy the story. Feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions, I'm open to whatever.
