She was a flower no one could hold, a flower with thrones and poison. She was sweet like honey, sarcastic and stubborn. When her mind was set there was no changing it. Things ended up changing for the girl growing up in a world hidden from others. Lost in her own world of imagination but not too lost within her head. She was special and didn't know it yet. I'm a world where fate is untold and things are far and unknown. Fear and serenity, happiness and cowardice, love and hate in all the same. Although everyone loses something or someone throughout their lives. Whether it be a pet or friend maybe family member passing away. She didn't want to get close to anyone for fear of losing them.

No matter who she let in they always left her alone or kept secrets that hurt her. Thinking they were protecting her when in reality they only hurt her more. What they didn't know was what she herself had been through, all the things she went through and all that pain. She didn't need protection, she needed love and someone to be with forever, but would she ever find that. The question of pain and suffering wasn't in the question itself but hidden in the deeper meaning. She was strong and had been put through hell plenty of times throughout her entire lifetime.

She knew many different people, from all over the world, but she wouldn't have known and lost them if she hadn't given her life that day. The day she would forever regret because after that day things would never be the same for her or anyone around her. She hated the lies and she hated the things she had to do for herself.

May 1st, 1967

On this day a young girl was born to the Greenwood family home, a beautiful baby girl with ginger hair and green eyes. She was born into a small family who lived in a small town in Indiana. Hawkins Indiana to be exact, she was born to Joshua and Faith Greenwood who were young only 24 years old when they had her. Joshua was 26 while Faith was 24 and had given birth to Margareta Everly Greenwood. The small town of Indiana was crawling with mysteries that no one knew about and wouldn't know about for a long time.

"Oh Faith congratulations of the baby girl" Karen Wheeler said

"Thanks Karen, I'm happy to have her, maybe her and Nancy will get along, that is what your naming her right?" Faith asked her close friend

"Yes, I loved the name Idea and I think it will fit her prefect, any day now too" Karen said

Faith and Karen had been friends for a long time, ever since faith and Joshua moved to Hawkins to be exact. That was years ago when they were still in school themselves. Now their children would be going to school together just as they once did. Most people grew up here, those that lived here which was few. Everyone knew everyone and no one new ever came to town unless it was for a reasons it was never for a vacation. Faith and Joshua had met in high school through friends and had instantly fell in love with one another. It was the typical high school sweethearts love story until it wasn't of course.

Margareta's POV

"Your really going to do this again josh" my mother yelled

I tried to ignore it because this is all they do lately is fight. It started when I turned thirteen and I always ran to Eddie's house. So here I was a year later now fourteen and about to sneak out of my window once more like I had the first time it occurred.

"Where do you think your going" my drunk dad asked as he stumbled into my room

"Leave me alone please" I said

My mother had long stormed out of the house their marriage falling apart at the seems. He came over and grabbed my arm yanking me back inside. I was shocked and nervous along with scared shit less. I didn't know what he would be capable of while mom was out. But I sure did find out that night when he beat me until mom finally showed back up. I was crying in my room trying to stop the bleeding from my body when she came in.

"Oh what the fuck Joshua, you hit our daughter" my mother shouted at him

"It's your fault faith she's a mistake isn't she" my dad said

I stood shakily and as they began to fight once more I climbed out my window. I rushed over as fast as I could to Eddie's place. I knock frantically on his door waiting for him to open it.

"Holy shit Margie what the hell happened?" He asked letting me inside

"Dad and mom they were at it again but when she left he took it out on me" i said through tears

⚠️Warning mention of drugs ahead⚠️

"Let's get you cleaned up Mhmm" he said

"You got some weed on you Ed?" I asked

"Always do sweetheart" he smiled handing me a joint

I let him clean my wounds while I smiled the joint in his bathroom. We both stood there and stared in one another's eyes. Before we both began to lean in towards one another. And with that my childhood crush was kissing me. I wanted to have more I needed more so I kept kissing him until he pulled back.

"Sorry I don't know why I did that, I should have done that" he panicked

With those words I felt more hurt than when dad was beating me. I shook it off told him it was fine and I walked out while he called after me. I found myself roaming the streets until I found myself at wheelers house. She wasn't too far from mine but we weren't the richest of families either. Not like the one Karen wheeler married into of course so Nancy was always my last go to.

Authors note -

I know they are only fourteen, plus Eddie is like sixteen it's how the story has to be for the time being of course. Also I'm trying here and work with me please considering the ages will be off and sometimes not make sense so bare with me. I didn't intend for the age to be this way while I was writing then when I calculated it in future chapters it didn't make sense. So, on that note just go with it please because it will eventually make some form of sense I swear. Also hope you're enjoying the book so far and please do read any of my other books and hype them up because I work just as hard as anyone else.
