A month later
I never knew my mom. She died in childbirth, and my dad always blamed her passing on me. It hurt. And I won't lie; it was damn tough growing up under the same roof as someone who despised me.
I was lonely and so incredibly afraid that my heart wouldn't get to experience true joy. And that anger I felt inside of me, well, I took it out on the girl I had declared my own enemy.
Alice Grey.
She deserved none of the teasing tortures I put her through, but she survived each challenge I threw at her.
And after graduating high school, I never thought I would get the chance to see her again.
But boy was wrong.
That girl turned out to become so much more.
She is larger-than-life in my eyes and the most fantastic person I've ever met. She makes me laugh. Smile. Cry. Sometimes we quarrel over stupid things, but never once have I stopped loving her.
