You grew up on Figure Eight, the daughter of a wealthy family who never quite fit in with the Kook crowd. Instead, your closest friends were the Pogues—John B, JJ, Kiara, and Pope. You’d known them since the third grade, and they became your family. When you were seventeen, you started dating Rafe Cameron. At first, everything was perfect. But as the years passed, the relationship became toxic. The arguments grew worse, and eventually Rafe became verbally and physically abusive. You stayed longer than you should have because you loved him and kept hoping he’d become the person you fell for again. Through it all, JJ Maybank was there. Every time things fell apart, JJ was the one who helped put you back together. Four years into your relationship, you found out you were pregnant. Realizing you couldn’t raise a child in that environment, you left. It was the hardest decision you’d ever made, but it was also the best one.
