OK I'm up early because I'm worried about Kiera....There's a little girl at school who used to be the sweetest thing until she became really close to a girl who is also a friend of Kiera's.

I was going to go to college, probably law school, maybe get married and have children. I had always thought that I'd knew what I wanted until I actually left home. Well ( Read more... )
