RESCUING HER HEART

e was the only one in my life that made me laugh when Arthur left. He always visited frequently and we just bonded. I was just a hopeless romantic teenager and he was the only male

I wasn't even able to cry for a second or curse Arthur for abandoning me again thanks to one of the books falling on my head. “Ow!” Rubbing my head, I looked up and noticed something stranger behind the shelf then I remembered... The door was behind the bookshelf! I have never been so happy about a book hitting me before. I quickly got up and pushed the book shelf to the side.

This can't be happening!” I cried. My heading was spinning and my heart was pounding fast. I tried pulling but it wouldn't bulge. I pulled hard and ended up falling on my bottom but at least my foot was unstuck. The mud however was pleased to keep my heel which I didn't have a problem with. I made it to the tree with my bare feet and stared at it. “Okay Anna, you can do this. You've seen a lot of movies. This will definitely be a piece
