• She lived in a world of happiness and trust. Now she hides beneath her bed crying and cutting away at the heartbreak and misunderstandings. As the rest of the world passes by, she tries to survive with each heart punching day. She acts as though everything is okay, like nothing bad ever happened to her. But deep, deep inside, behind all the stitches that hold together the rest of her life, is the girl she once was. The girl who was to afraid to speak up as her mother was beat in front of her eyes. The girl who ditched school so nobody saw her scars and blinding bruises. The girl who had left behind sorrow and heartbreak, so that she could start over and try to live as the girl she hoped to become.
