As she walked toward her future, her heart stuttered, and nearly stopped. Her feet seemed glued to the floor, and suddenly she realized that she was living in a nightmare. The beats of the music continued, expecting her to move along with them, but instead she turned, and fled toward the door, trying desperately not to trip on the train of her dress. She ran to the nearest taxi, and begged him to take her straight home, so she could change. Upon arrival, she paid him extra to wait for her, and ran into her room to change into something more suitable for an aeroplane flight. As she was packing her suitcase, she found a letter, and memories cam

If Anything Kills You
Her breath burned through her lungs as she ran, and her muscles screamed for her to slow down. Still, she ran on, climbing over stalls, and up onto the rooftops, knowing that she was being chased, and if she did not escape, her blood would colour the cobbles of the street below.

With a single word our bridge could burn
Or with a single thought out tide could turn
Which it will be, only time will tell
So, 'til the tide turns, I bid thee farewel

She was developing an attraction to the man's personality, and voice, not to mention the sweet attention he gave to her. She was so lost in her thoughts of worry about this situation that she did not notice the men coming toward her from the dock.

Have you ever seen those girl that walk down the street and you can just see in their eyes that they want nothing more than to escape the world, and find a place where no one knows them, and maybe they can start over and find someone who will actually love them for who they are? Well, I have. I see that girl EVERY DAY, as a matter of fact. Whenever I look into the mirror. All I've ever wanted was to escape, but I didn't know just how far that desire would take me, until I started my journey.
It all started in this little town in Florida, where I found someone that stunned me, someone that was different than anyone else. His name was Alex, a
