Hannah Blare: A Short Story

Decent Essays
She lived with no sign of hope in life. After all she had been through nothing stopped her and nothing hurt. She became so used to pain that she couldn’t feel it any longer. Her heart was shattered and it wasn’t from boyfriend break ups but betrayal from those around her. Betrayal that could never be forgiven or forgotten. Betrayal that would never change. Only few knew the real person that she was once before but many only saw the new Hannah Blare. People in the halls would whisper as she passed by and rumors would spread. Hannah didn’t care. Hannah only knew one thing and one thing only and that one thing is what kept her alive.
