BOOK TWO OF THE SCARLETT CHRONICLES | After being kidnapped as a young child, seventeen year old Scarlett Grey found her way home to her family. For months, she struggled to find a balance between the girl she'd left behind and the girl she had become. But she did. She had a family, she made friends, she fell in love, and she was finally happy. That is, until she lost the most important person in her life to a merciless disease: her beloved mother. She's completely fallen apart. One by one, she shut out the people closest to her: her father, her best friends, and even her boyfriend. And as a result, she's left to face the man who stole her innocence away all those years ago, completely alone. Can Scarlett once again escape the man who took away so many years of her life? And, most importantly, can she learn to love herself in spite of the tremendous losses she's known? • Please be advised this story contains mature and sensitive themes such as abuse, scenes involving post traumatic stress disorder and severe anxiety, as well as some (okay quite a bit of) explicit language.

these are all the thoughts in my head- uncensored, unstructured, and exactly as they flow out. this is a technique called free writing. which is why I call this free speech this is basically my diary. (this is the way I think I guess) it's cathartic, which is why I do it. I have good days and bad days but it helps more on the bad days. these are written randomly, whenever I feel like it, whenever I have too many thoughts and emotions and I'm overflowing (so it's kinda over dramatic) my mind (like everybody else's) is confusing, what can I say -alright I'm out-

"Really perfection is only just impossibility." ~~~~ Sometimes I'm happy to be alone. Glad even that I'm able to enjoy me-time in peace. Other times I feel so lonely that I can't breathe without enduring the empty pain in my heart, yearning for another to embrace me, to inhale the scent of his cologne, and for it to lull me into the comfort of tranquility. I yearn for the reassuring warmth of his hug provided by his body heat. I yearn to find he who helps me up when I get beaten down, who fights my demons with me, who pushes me into situations that I fear. Someone who understands, who is always there, who makes me happy again. He who soothes me through his presence only, who laughs with me and at my lame jokes. I long to find the one that can bring me immense joy and I him. He is the person that I doubt I'm able to find.
