Description of Story:
I wasn't supposed to turn out like this. I was the good one, the one that everyone expected to succeed, the one that should have been out of college and getting married and having the perfect life. But things don't always go the way their meant to. Sometimes life decides to around and throw choices at us that we can't begin to understand. And if you make one mistake, your entire life is just...
