My name is Hayley Mathews, and this is my story. When I was seven years old my parents were killed in a car accident. But I never got over the feeling that it wasn't an accident. Every one kept telling me it was the shock, or the grief causing me to be paranoid. I would have nightmares about the crash. I would wake up screaming or crying, or both. Because of it, I've been moved from three different foster homes, and six different homes for orphaned children. Nobody understands. And why would they? Nobody knows just how much my parents and I loved each other.

I still wear my mother's locket. Gold, in the shape of a heart. A rose, and the words I Love You carved into the lid. I wouldn't be caught dead without it. It's the only thing of my parents they let me keep. A picture of my mom, Claire, on the left and my dad, Lial, on the right. They were taken the week before the accident, on their anniversary. As I click the locket shut, I look in the mirror one last time. My dark brown hair just about reaches my shoulders, my eyes, just a shade lighter than my hair, stair back at me. His eyes, her hair. I've been told I look just like them, high cheek bones and full lips just like her. Eyes that can see past all the crap in a person, to the heart that is hiding behind it all, just like my father.

Marie told me I'm moving again, to another home for orphaned children. But this time it won't be a home for girls, but for boys as well. Out of the six, only one of the other homes I've been to was for both. That's where I met Marie, she was the councilor there. And every since the first time I went to see her, she is determined to help me. To help stop the nightmares, or at least have them less frequently.
