Nathan 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. Cr
