“A word is just a word until you mean what you say.”

The one thing that mattered most, to a certain Ella. Miss Ella Scetler.

- A Memory Takes Over by: Sarah Bloom

She was an extraordinary girl with an extraordinary power. The power she gave was love. What she got back, a mistake. She loved her friends and family dearly, but what had mattered to her most was her boyfriend, Addison. A caring boy who may not have been up to standards for a girl with a heart as fragile as young 17 year old Ella's. He would claim to be there for her. Then of course, when she went to him, she felt depression for the first time. It felt as if someone were to have stabbed her in the heart multiple times and that all hope was gone. Until she realized the one part of her heart that was untouched, and the one part that she knew wouldn't fail her. The love shared between her and Addison. That is when she knew that it was sign, he was the answer. He was the key. She waited and waited the longest time for him to come. For him to show her the way. He would be her future, and the person she depended on most. He never showed his face. Devastation was clearly the only thing involved in her future. For it was the only thing visible to her eyes. A rush of insanity came upon her soul, she feared of living a lonely life. Everything and everyone had left her, she had to make her way down the road of life alone. She thought she should begin her life over, with a new identity. A new beginning, a new future, and a forgotten past. Of course, Ella kept her options open to other drastic solutions that she didn't want to decide with yet, but had it in mind.

Now, she is Miss Kate Hollen. A schoolteacher for younger children, and a successful one at that. She loved her new job, she loved her new life, and she loved her new everything. This is the life she wanted. This is the life she had dreamed of. Minus the love of her life, whom she erased his name from memory. That is until she met another young man, Walter Fitzgerald. He brought back the memories in her past, and the tears in her sleep. But that wouldn't stop her from believing that he was the one whom she would spend the rest of her life with. They had the sweetest dates, the best memories, and Walter made her the happiest woman in the world. They were happily married at her age of 25, after their relationship of 3 years. They decided to have a baby and be the happiest parents in the world to have brought such an angel to the world. Kate is thrilled to be a mother and raise a child of her own with her husband.

9 months have passed after the announced pregnancy and they discover it will be a baby boy, coming to Earth. Their very own angel. Once the delivery is done, her and her husband shed tears of joy over their newborn son. Looking into their baby's eyes, Kate receives a flashback of her past. Everything flashing before her eyes. She decides to try to make things right, and make things how they should have gone. The decision was that her child will be named Addison Thomas Fitzgerald. She was going to make her child the Addison who should have loved her 10 years ago. She taught him to love and care and stick to his promises. He was the sweetest boy. He grew to be 6 years old, the age when Kate first met her boyfriend. Respectful and honest. Then it turned into neglect, and hatred. Ignorance and abandonment, she couldn't take it any longer! She didn't want her boyfriend to leave her, but her own son!? That's where she had to draw the line. This is where Addison would stop here, and hurt Kate no more. This is where Addison would quit! Before she knew it, she had fired a gun. Where she had gotten it? Her pocket, her plan to get revenge on one boy. Sacrificing her own child for a mean form of revenge. There her life falls apart. Everything and everyone once again left her. She's back to being just Ella to erase her second life, to erase everything. This is where the drastic solutions come to mind.

Here lies Ella.
Awake in her bed.
She pulls out a gun,
She shoots; she's dead.
