THE TALE OF GRACELYNN
The perfect girl next door, the daughter of the mayor, born into greatness and wealth until the day it all changed for the worst of matters during welcoming week at college. Gracelynn had just started at the college ready to form new bonds and friendships, ready to start on her future, destined for greatness like her father and mother, known for their hard work and political beliefs, but sadly during the welcoming weekend, there was a party, a party that broke and changed her world forever. Changed her from the sweet, smart, smiling young woman into something far worse.
During a party at a frat house, she was talking with a guy, a guy she thought liked her, and she liked him back. But that night as she got drunker things got more hazy, and her mind started to fog. She wasn’t able to speak and she started to feel ill, and an act of kindness turned into her worst nightmare. As they got to the room and everything was spinning in her mind, the guy started to defile her and they ended up having sex without her consent, leaving her half undressed in a bed at a strangers house, until her friends found her and took her back to the dorms.
Even if her friends knew what had happened, the guy was never caught in his actions. She was too scared to stand up and talk to the dean, turn the guy in to the cops. Since someone did try to turn him in and even her friend tried to say it was her he defiled, but nothing happened and her reality turned into the worst sort of nightmare. She dropped out of college, to get away from the guy, to get away from the memories and trauma. But her parents were disappointed in her choices of giving up not knowing what happened during the welcoming weekend, they kicked her out of home and out onto the streets as she had to find her own path through life.

She ended up in a trailerpark, ended up with some people that knew nothing about her past, leaving the life she knew behind. She got into crime, got into danger and drugs, as the bits of herself disappeared. She didn’t know whom she could trust, didn’t even trust love or intimacy, keeping everything with feelings at bay and at a safe distance. Only letting a few people in through her walls, but not enough that they could hurt the same as the people around her did at college.
"Made it out alive, but I think I lost it
Said that I was fine, said it from the coffin
Remember how I died when you started walking? That's my life, that's my life"
