"Why are we doing this again?" June asked for the hundredth time.
I sighed. "To make sure I remember everything! I don't want to forget."
She rolled her eyes. "But we already went through it a thousand times! Even I know your lines by now and I have the worst memory in the history of humankind."

"I didn't know that he was allergic to peanuts!"I felt my heart skip a beat. "So you poisoned him? Is he going to be fine?""Well not fine, exactly. And I didn't poison him. All I did was feed him some of your favourite chocolate ice cream and you know how there's nuts in there right? So I gave it to him and he ate but then halfway, he asked if there were nuts and I said yes then he swore then he checked if he had medicine with him but he didn't.

The mind is a very powerful tool. It can be used to shape the most beautiful stories, the most sinful of fantasies and the scariest of nightmares. The mind is capable of destroying even the sturdiest of towers but it is also capable of building up the most resilient people.Grief, just like the mind, is a beauty disguised as a demon. When welcomed and nurtured, it leaves peacefully, offering its host the gift of closure and solace.But when ignored and left to its own devices, grief can turn even the sweetest memory into a bitter nightmare.Years later, whenThe Wrong Cinderellawas behind me, my psychologist would teach me all these things.But right then, I was seventeen and oblivious to the fact that I hadn't all
