One year ago, this story began. Or rather, ended. Everything I'd known for years self destructed and left behind a tragic mess I'd never seen before. Adaptation was iffy, loneliness was temporary, silence was unbearable. This isn't the first 12 years of my life. This isn't the moments that led up to 2016. This is my story. This is what really happened. This is what I am and why.…

// someone said three years from now //Skipping through the rain, recess everyday, learning your ABC's and 123's, racing up and down the stairs, and playing with cars and dolls without a care in the world...All that ends when you turn 13.A friendship that has lasted nothing short of three years and satisfied both Jess and myself further back then we can remember. We've created a series of memories over the past three years and haven't forgotten a single one. Day by day we were brought closer together in our friendship and have made some new ones, too. But now, hormones are racing, emotions are developing, bodies are shaping and our eighth grade human sexuality class isn't making any of it easier to fight.…

While the damage to our friendship was increasingly difficult to manage, I had forgotten the bridge, or the rope, that had brought us together in the first place. Without our empowering bond that holds the magic together, God only knows what'll happen to the spirits, the power and the kingdom our imaginations have created. Our minds are what power it, but when we stop believing in ourselves, each other and the magic, what'll happen to us and everything we've created? Is it too late to save it all?Copyright 2016 Leslie Burke. All rights reserved.…
