  1. I came here to see what harlie used ro look like cause its been so long. Im now 13 and i remember when i went to school with her. At recess her friends would run up to me, ” Chase Harlie likes you” and i would just shrug it off like it meant nothing. But now that i read her story again im now in tears and wish i could see her one last time.
