Stories that occurred three years ago. She never thought this could happen to her, but yet it did. She can’ t tell you to‘ be careful’, because it’ s never your fault.
This is her story.
I remember being very excited, no that’ s an understatement. I was over the moon when I heard my two best friends got tickets for this big summer festival that wasn’ t far from where I lived.
