They respected my decision of not wanting to talk about it, and I was just fine with that. Somehow, I was reaching out of my

Chapter: Chapter 1-Swiped from betrayal towards happiness-It was dark, extremely cold, and I had just washed up on the shore of a rather dark island. My limbs, my heart...everything was hurting so bad. I had never seen this coming; having Geena do this to me was so insane. My best friend, the orphan girl who had always been so shy to speak in front of our teachers, who didn't have the heart to hurt a fly, she had been holding such a hideous amount of hurt for me. The disbelief and shock were immense.There was also immense anger at the thought that Geena was going to get away with this betrayal-this deception.
