The Californian, sun-kissed babe who yearns for more than a simple life on the beach... just she isn't quite shore (haha) what she wants. Until Callie Mitchel gets trapped in one of her many nightmares.. but this time it may be real.

'You don't need to accept yourself before others accept you... Neither do you need others to accept to accept yourself. The two are not related.' One never asks to be born, or decides how, where and when they want to be born. Who one is born to, in what condition they are born, is not a persons decision. So then why are they blamed for the way they are, for the flaws they were born with? Chapter 1 is my entry for the Christmas Contest by @hepbrunettes © 2015 mahi_shezad
