Losing a parent and having another one sent to prison is not something that everyone can handle without going insane but life decided that that was how Rachael's life would crumble. 

After Rachael watches her mother get killed in front of her and her father sent to prison for crimes she wouldn't want to think of, it seems like she's lost everything and that's the worse thing that could ever happen to her. What she didn't know was that fate still had a lot for her before she turned sixteen.

After yet another relationship ends because of certain shortcomings-literally-Cameron decides it's time to swear off dating and focus her energy into her junior year at the University of Charlotte.
