A/N: I am terribly sorry for this short chapter. It's just a quick flashback, so all flashback chapters may be like this. Also, I want to ask a favor. Spread word of this story, please. Tell your friends, tell your neighbor, tell your grandma, even tell the local hobo! Spread the word. Next chapter might be up after school tomorrow
