Prologue
I was the girl from a small town living in a bigger city far away from home.
I was the good girl who did everything she was told.
I was the girl who listened to her parents and anyone who was comfortable to tell her their stories.
I was the girl who got good grades and held the future in her hands.
I was the girl who was always smiling and enjoying life as it was.
I was the girl whose heart was bigger, whose innocence you just had to take advantage of.
I was the girl you couldn't resist, the girl you used and manipulated just to make yourself feel better, the girl you stood on just so you could be on the top, the girl who didn't know you were toxic.
I was the girl...you left in a broken mess, struggling to pick herself up from the hell you forced her in, caged her in and left her to find comfort in the surrounding flames.
I am also the girl who will get better in time.
I'm Isabella Grace Taylor and this is my story.
