Treasure chest's like people are full of many different things
There are the hard things
There are the shiny things
There are the sharp things
Then there are the beautiful things
Tess had almost everything
She had her heart of stone thanks to her dad passing away a day before her 8th birthday
Her veins were lined with glitter
Her words could cut anyone like a knife including the ones she said to her self
What she was missing was the beauty inside
It hasn't been there in a long time
Before the day her dad died from a car accident it was there
She loved animals
She was the nicest kid in her entire school
She stood up for the kids that couldn't
She never said a lie
She never said anything bad
But that all changed
It was a Friday
She had just got home and was carrying the bag that contained the gifts from school
The first thing she noticed was off was her mom was home
Dropping her things off to the maid she found her mom in the library crying
Asking what was wrong she learned that her father was in an accident
A drunk driver hit him, he didn't make it
Because TJ Tyler had connections his funeral was the next day
The day of Tess's birthday
So instead of a party
She had to watch her father be put into the ground
After that day she still developed the hard heart
Her mom worked more to be out of the house
And that put the glitter in her veins
Also she started using words that cut who they were directed at
Mostly the ones that were said to her reflection
Because the day her dad died
That was the last time Tess had beauty in her
