THE PROLOGUE:
Clara turns six years old today, but little does she know it's about to take a turn for the worst. Clara’s father gets out on proel today, and her mother, Dawn, has put a restraining order against him. She wouldn't let him anywhere near Clara, not now, not ever. Dawn hasn't even let Clara know about her father, as far as Clara knows, her father left you when she was one year old, and has never returned.

“Ugh, you're no fun Addi.” Clara whispered back smiling. When the bell finally rang Clara was the first one to blast out of there, she was so quick she didn’t even notice the guy that she ran past, or more like pushed out of the way. Clara kept waking thought, didn’t even look back to of seen what happened. For as she saw her other best friend approach,
