MalloryHope is a dangerous thing. It holds you close like a lover, whispering promises it never intends to keep, and just as soon as you relax into its arms, it lets you go. Sending you spinning into an abyss of nothingness. When I sent him away four years ago, he promised he would come back to me, and even as I asked him not to, I hoped that he would.Hope. I tucked it deep inside of me, underneath the scars of our before, beside the dreams of our after. Hidden like contraband. Guarded like a treasure. Broken like every promise that ever fell from his lips and hit my ears. Eventually, I got tired of hoping, of waiting for him, and I plunged my hands inside my own heart, ripping past scar tissue and muscle, veins and arteries to root it out.Hope. He conspired with it to make a fool of me, and when I freed myself from it, exorcised that pointless dream, I promised myself that no one would get the chance to do that to me again. Then, and only then, did he appear.My promise, a spell that conjured him. My determination, a challenge. My heart, the only prize he hopes to win.ChristopherLife without Mallory Kent has taught me that time doesn't heal wounds. It turns them into scars. Jagged tissue that grows around your pain, covering it with raised skin that will never again be smooth to the touch. My first scar formed when I was just a child. Too young to fully understand what my mother's loss would mean for my life but old enough to remember the echo of the pain inside my empty chest. It was a unique agony. One I never expected to feel again.But that was before I loved her. Before I let things that had nothing to do with us cost me everything.It's been four years since I decided to honor her request to stay away. To move on with my life and give her a chance to move on with hers. And she might not agree, but it was more than enough time for us to try and do the impossible. The only thing our time apart has done is remind me that wherever she is, is where I'm supposed to be.Now I just have to make her believe it.

Through Her Eyes by Keshia LaVettALEXANDRA HOPE NIELSON, known to all as Hope, and affectionately by her family as Moon, is beautiful, vibrant, ambitious, and legally blind. She has never clearly seen the world. From birth until seventeen, she never had a boyfriend or attended a teen party. Even though Hope has never ventured outside of the Stone Community without supervision, that doesn't mean she does not yearn to do so. Especially since she is now a young adult, and attends the University of the District of Columbia. College is slowly opening her eyes to the world. She sees the dark shadows of injustice and the budding possibilities of love. Hope knows there is more to life beyond Stone Community, the middle-class housing development she has lived in with her parents, two little brothers, and best friend for as long as she could remember. Hope is an activist and an aspiring writer who desires to do what many writers do; share a compelling tale. She wants to discover and relay her own story but feels she has no remarkable experiences to share. Overwhelming frustration due to repeated writer's block, coupled with her sheltered environment has created a barricade that Hope eventually decides to tear down.

During the height of the Rodney King verdict controversy, Hope attends her first anti-racism rally without her parents' approval and is gravely injured. Instead of giving up and retreating back to her sheltered life, this frightening circumstance further propels Hope's craving to belong.
