The story behind “The Best Damn Thing”

First off,
I apologize for placing small snippets of the story; but it’s coming to me in pieces that I want to try and share.

Second,
Thank you for everyone who read my last blog post and responded to it.

Third,
Thank you to everyone who is reading the story in its bit by bit format.

Lastly,
Section Four was hard to write out due to how it is auto-biographical and I live with the scene forever in my head. I am hoping that by writing it out it will free me of all the feelings I felt the day after....feelings like it was all my fault.
How I should have said something at that moment or later on to a parent, teacher, pastor...but I didn’t.

The person is real...even down to the name and I admit, if I saw him now, I would still feel afraid.
