TIME AFTER TIME can mean many things to ones self, but to Luana... it means facing your darkest nightmares and your unforgettable past, even if you're scared.
This is Luana's story. Are you...
It's tough to be strong. Sometimes all I want to be is weak. I'm still Luana, but this is the other side of me I try not to show. The part of me that thinks differently and sees differently.
It's is how I've felt all of my life.

Twelve Years Ago
"Luana!" Miss Audley shouts my name as I try to run to my hiding spot.
She grabs my wrist, dragging me back into my bedroom. "You may come out of your room once you have reflected on your mistake and learned to apologise." Miss Audley raises her eyebrows at me, looking angry.
She turns around, locking me inside my room.
I run towards the door, trying to open it as I cry alone. I drop to the ground, hugging my knees, falling asleep as I kneel my back onto the door.

As I look outside the open window, I suddenly hear Miss Audley walking up the stairs and into the hallway, causing me to turn around.
The door unlocks, and Miss Audley walks into my room. She looks at me, raising an eyebrow, making me look down in fear.
"I'm sorry, Miss Audley." I fiddle with my fingers.
"Stand up straight." She commands, and I listen.
She walks up to me, looking at me intensely, and I suddenly feel even smaller than before.
"What are you sorry for?" She looks down at me, holding her ruler.
"I'm sorry for entering your bedroom without your permission and trying on your shoes." I put the palm of my hand out, looking away.
"No! Mr Audley, will you show what happens to girls who don't obey their guardians." I open my eyes, and Miss Audley walks out, locking me inside again.
