I know it's not real. But does it have to be for it to go on? I just want something to hold in all the chaos. It's not too much to ask for. When I have to let go, I will. But until then... I want to be loved. ~ Dani George ***** From West Virginia to California with hopes for a better life. She's confident but has trust issues, she doesn't associate much with people, she's mostly always mistaken as rude and antisocial.

To be loved Chapter 1 Prologue

"Dani are you done packing that bag?" Brianna screamed from down stairs.

"Yeah I am" I told her at a gentler tone.

"Well then get down here and come help me with these things" she shouted again.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, calm down" I ran down the stairs to where she was standing at the open door. Everyone's just getting more dramatic by the minute.

Hey there I'm Dani George, a born and breed West Virginia girl from a family of four, myself my mom, my little brother othniel and my Nigerian sister cousin that stays with us, Brianna, don't ask about a Dad, he's not included here anymore. Anyways, in a few days my family and I would be moving away from our home to Los Angeles and so it's causing everybody to be so dramatic and impatient.

I get that this is a big change and a good one at that for our family especially with finances for a very average family like ourself, but it's not like we'd be living on rose beds when we get to California, life's hard everywhere, and the hustle continues.

But I'm really excited to see what the big city has to offer to an introverted small town girl.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
