A.N. I do not own any of the characters from the Covenant. I have created original characters which are mine. This story will switch writing styles as it goes so be prepared.
August 31
It was never my intention to ever return to Spencer. I am not prepared to deal with the people who were part of a life that seems so distant from my current being. I cannot help but worry if I will see him or if he will recognize me. Yes I have had some facial reconstruction but I am still fearful. I haven't written about what happened four years ago and it is hard even now that the wounds have healed.
Four years ago my sister was murdered while on a weekend trip. She was eighteen and beautiful. My family went to look at NYU. The Saturday night that we were there Hannah and I went to a restaurant in Little Italy. Hannah and I had a special connection that most people do not understand. She was my role model and I was her rock. On the way back to the hotel a man came up to my sister and me and pulled us into an alley. This is the moment where my memories fade but the next thing I remembered was being in a hospital. That was when I found out that Hannah had been raped and murdered. I was the key witness in the case.
When I got home after that weekend I was bruised all over my face and had multiple broken ribs. I was granted a week off of school for mourning which was clearly not enough time. On the first day back at school I was stared at and whispered about. My sister was loved by everyone at Spencer and rumors had begun circulating that it was my fault. I was blamed for her death. I lost all my friends. After being back for a week a group of guys and girls from Hannah's grade beat me up in the parking lot and left me laying on the ground. Yet again I blacked out. Within a week of my assault my parents and I had moved to California. This was our choice destination because I needed extensive facial reconstruction to fix the ten broken bones in my face.
Now four years later I am stuck going to Spencer again because my father's company wants him to run the firm in Boston. I fear that people are going to be able to see through the new shell that I have on my body and realize the girl now named Casey Brooks is actual Emma Lindt the girl they alienated four years ago.
There is one person that I fear seeing again. Reid Garwin. He was my boyfriend when everything happened. I know I said that I had no friends but I had shut him and his friends out when I was going through everything. My biggest regret is that I never told him I was leaving.
I am doubting he will recognize me. The old me was flat chested and curveless now I have curves and an ample chest. You could potentially call my body the typical "cali girl" but I don't like to think that I am anything like the self absorbed stigma placed on women in California. Other than my face being different my hair color has also changed my former blonde hair has been dyed to an auburn shade that makes my eyes pop like the "ocean in San Juan" according to Rico my hairstylist.
That is all for now…
