Where Innocence Died

Tiamiyu_Toluwalope
I was born into a struggling home as an only child. I grew up believing two things: honesty is the best policy, and education should never be compromised. I held onto those words like they were my future. But tragedy had other plans. I was called out of class one afternoon. I thought it was something small-maybe I was in trouble. Instead, I was told the worst thing imaginable: my parents were dead. Murdered. I laughed at first. It had to be a joke. It had to be. But deep down, I knew the truth. I just kept lying to myself... until I got to the hospital. Blood everywhere. Tears I couldn't control. And suddenly, I had nowhere to go. My uncle took me in. That was the moment my life truly changed. I remember the first thing he said to me: "Stella... look at how much you've grown. You're so beautiful." There was something in his eyes I didn't understand then. I understand it now. That was where my innocence died.
