  • The Haircut

    Everything about my hair was wrong. The cut, the color, everything. All I had asked for was to get a trim and somehow I woke up and everything was wrong. And I had to go back to school and have everyone stare at me. What your hair looked like at Ashton Grove was everything and one…

  • Shining Star

    As the feather drifted toward me, I wondered if I had done the right thing and not for the first time.  I had auditioned for the school play on a whim and was surprised I had gotten a part.  In reality, I was not interested in acting, but more interested in Ryan.  He had been…

  • The Power of the Cross

    When the air turned black, I knew I was in trouble. The black only meant one thing, that Adam was back. Adam was back and I knew I would be punished. I knew hiding wouldn’t work, that I would just have to wait for him to arrive. As I waited for Adam to find me,…

  • Generous

    I never understood how someone could be as generous as Sophia.  She never took anything for herself and instead tried to think of who would benefit most.  I liked to think I thought of other people more than myself, but I didn’t think I was as nice as Sophia.  What really surprised me more was…

  • Crush

    Jeremiah knew I had a crush on him.  At this point, I’m not sure how he couldn’t know.  I couldn’t help but stare and I often wondered if he could sense my eyes in the back of his head because he often turned when I was just settling in for a long stare.  He always…

  • Consistency

    “He is not consistent.  He has shown us every day he will show up late or not show up at all.  Why are we going to give him another chance?”  I willed my arms to remain at my sides so I would not cross my arms in front of my new boss. I knew that…

  • What Could Have Been

    “I knew your story could go further depending on one moment.  One moment that will change the course of your entire life.”  I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what my life would be like with Kevin still here.  Would we be celebrating our fifth anniversary or not?  Would he had left me if…

  • Quiet

    “At least it will be quiet when we get there.  Nobody should be at work on Saturday so there won’t be any questions about what happened.”  I listened to Tyler as I tried to look grateful and happy.  The truth was, I didn’t think this was the place for me anymore.  Long story short, Jeff…

  • Pretty as a Postcard

    “I hate when people tell me I’m as ‘pretty as a postcard.’  Why do people think that’s a compliment?  I want to be noticed for my brain – something I actually work to improve.”  The longer I listened to Morgan talk, the more I tuned her out.  I would be ecstatic for anyone to give…

  • Very Personal

    “It is very personal.  How can it not be?  I was attached!”  I knew I was practically yelling, but I couldn’t help it.  I just couldn’t believe what Flynn had just revealed to me.  Everything I had worked so hard to separate myself from my family, from my past and Flynn was bringing it all back up.  “But I didn’t realize…
