Krystal had grown up poor, her father had skipped out on her when she was three, her mother's every growing string of boyfriends were all assholes.. her daddy had come back when she was 10. Turns out he had been in jail. The loving caring dad she remembered had become cruel, drunk, high. He and her mother continuing what her mother and her boyfriends had done. Drink and snorting away the money, leaving no money for school, food...

Krystal had run away at 13, living on the streets until he found her. He was nice, sweet, caring. He gave her clothes, a house, all the food she could eat. He held her... he made her feel so much! He was her first, just before her 14th birthday. But the gentleness stopped that night. He called her a good girl as she lay there, she was sure she loved him, that he loved her. But he rammed his cock inside her. He didn't stop until he was done. He had made her take a pill the next day.. then took her to the doctor to get what he called a vaccination. She learnt pretty quickly that he didn't love her. But what choice did she have? He was the only one who had ever looked after her.

He got rougher, meaner, she never felt good enough, he brought home other women, telling her that she wasn't pretty enough.. he hit her too. She was 16 when she ran away from him. She had found a job at least, working in a cafe.. he had found her there.. he could see what she couldn't.. a girl with daddy issues. A bright smile, sweet words... it ended the same way, only she stayed with him until he gave her a black eye.

Two more men after that, at 17 and 18, two more men that used her, that used her name to create debts, who -showed their love- through getting her tattoos through friends. Luckily they had let her choose those. Then there was the fact that her parents were still claiming that she lived with them.. her tax was all screwed up.. debt collectors came to her door, her first ex had found her, beat the shit out of her boyfriend and tried to take her... but then her current boyfriend beat the shit out of her for being a whore. She was 19 when she ran away again, she sat the test for uni, moved to the other side of town to a shitty apartment, she was surprised when she got into vet science. Her first ex had horses... she had known then what she wanted to do, but he .. well.

Over the summer she worked her ass off, doing work at the campus for extra credits, working two jobs to pay the debts in her name using an old account while the rest of her money went to her new accounts. Her hair was brighter than ever, something all her ex's had hated! Her body was a canvass, piercings were added, outwardly she looked full of confidence, and she was sure of who she was. But she wasn't sure of her value as a woman, a lover, friend, she didnt see herself as beautiful, or even pretty. She was just Krystal.

With 2 stalker ex boyfriends, 2 debt collection agencies, the government and a loan shark all searching for her.
