Prologue

My life was not perfect, but as a kid I'd like to think it was great. I know things don't always stay the way they are since tragedy struck and now I have no one. I'm 16 and in the system, people like us don't usually get out we don't usually get looked at twice anymore, but sometimes it just happens.

I'm Alexa and I don't think people like me find loving families at this age but I did. I even got a few caring friends.
