Chapter
One
"What?!
What do you mean boarding school?!"
I shreaked as my drug addicted mom handed me a letter with
her wasted smirk.
"Have fun sweet pea." She laughed walking away from
me.
Really?
I thought to myself. I'm forced out of the country,
against my own will?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to leave my mother.
She's an evil witch, with a b. Pardon my French (no pun
intended).
Anyways, my name is Hope.
My father named me before he died a few months after my
birth.
I guess he had hope that my mother would change, or that
he'd beat cancer.
Little did he know, he wasn't going to beat cancer, and
my mom was going to go on a downwards spiral after his
death.
I mean, I've always had dinner and clothes on my back,
but a child needs more than that.
A child needs love.
And that's exactly what I found in Hunter. He was an
amazing and extrodanary best friend. Don't get me wrong,
he was an even better boyfriend.
Hunter had learned almost all of my secrets by the time we
were thirteen.
We've been inseperable since.
But now, I have to leave him.
I have to leave Karissa too.
I have to leave everything I have come to love about
Tennesse,
and move half way across the world to
France.
