chapter 1 

Hi, my name is Leah Merriss and i'm 15 years of age. life has been different for me, what i mean is my mom was lost my dad when i was 3 weeks old. He died from this from of MS called friedreich's ataxia which is a disorder where the iron in your slowly turns into this deadly poison and slowly kills you inside out. Anyways, i never meant my dad, my mom would always tell me stories about him and how they meet at this bar. My dad was a good person he had gone though a lot. After having heart failure 3 times and kidney failure 4 his body couldn't take it any more and he died on my mom and dad wedding anniversary. My mom dating when i was younger but gave up for a while. then she meet this guy named Bryce. My mom and Bryce dating for about 3 years then got married. Bryce is a rich lawyer who lives in Hilton Head, South Carolina with his kids Blake and Hailey, from his first wife Angie, they split up when Bryce found out that Angie was a drugie. Blake is my age, he has green eyes and shaggy brown-blonde hair, about  6'0 and could take me out in one punch. Haily is Bryce baby girl she is 3 years old and the cutest thing ever! She has light blonde hair always up in pig tails and big blue eyes that could get you to do anything. I'm happy for my mom and all but i really don't want to leave my home town of Columbus, Ohio, but i had no choses. Its not like my grandma would take me in. So its the begin of my summer break after freshman year and i have to move from Ohio to South Carolina! great just what i need to be the new girl again( me and mom moved around a lot when i was younger).
"Leah go finish unpacking, the back seat of the car with Blake, me and Bryce are going to go put Hailey down for a nap" my mom yelled as she walked in the house to my new life.
"come on Leah i can't carry everything by myself" Blake was telling me.
"I'm coming gimme a minute i can't find my phone" i called. I jumped out of the car after finding my phone.
" you take forever couldn't have you just called it" Blake said being very annoying.
"shut up and carry the boxes up to my room"
" Cant you help!" he said 
"whatever Blake" as i walked inside with my last box of stuff, i couldn't believe it would never be just me and my mom every again. I ran up the stairs to my room and decides i should start unpacking everything. 
"Leah dear"
"yeah mom!"
"Bryce and Hailey and i are going to the store and to get dinner, we will be back later. ok?"
" ok mom see you later" i watched them drive down the street. I started to unpack again. About 10 minutes later the door bell rang. i walked down and stairs and opened the door.
"hey......."
