Hey im Simone. I live at 422 Swallow Lane. I am a MARK. cosmetics representative and i also go to Harmony community college. I gratuated Harmony Highschool in 2001. I would describe myself as the free-spirited younger daughter of T.C. and Eve Russell. All my life i has been held up against my older sister Whitney and found lacking by both my parents. The moment i met Chad Harris, i had a tremendous crush on him, defending him when Whitney would degrade him. I spent a lot of time helping Chad find his parents, and it was only a matter of time before i fell in love with him. I wasn't sure if he could ever return my feelings until he swore to me one day that he loved me. I was over the moon, but accepted it when Chad said we couldn't date because i was 'too young'. Time went by, but just as i was beginning to doubt Chad's feelings, he told me again that he loved me at the Crane estate. Shortly after that, i witnessed Chad in an embrace with my sister, and the shock of seeing the man i loved (who swore he loved me) kissing my sister sent me running out into the street where i was struck by a car.
I ended up in a coma, but soon came out of it. I had completely forgotten what I saw before the accident, and was still happily in love with Chad. When my parents gave me permission to date and Chad officially proclaimed himself as my boyfriend, i was over the moon. The only cloud was my sister, Whitney. I just couldn't understand why Whitney kept flirting with Chad. After all, Chad was supposed to be MY boyfriend. It was only after i discovered the two of them together that the truth came out...Chad had never meant it when he told me he loved me, and was only pretending to be my boyfriend. To add insult to injury, both T.C. and Eve were too busy comforting Whitney to even look at me. I still haven't gotten over the pain of being betrayed by my sister and the man who was pretending to be my boyfriend, and was truly devastated when i learned they were engaged.
Since my breakup with Chad, i have been on the sidelines, watching Kay try to manipulate Miguel. I also formed a romantic alliance with John Hastings, although it was seldom seen to people. I re-emerged after Kay's accident, trying to comfort my friend, even though all Kay could talk about was how much she hated Charity, her cousin. When I learned that my ex-boyfriend Chad was really my half-brother, i was devastated and, like Whitney, turned against our mother. It wasn't long before i was turning to my half-aunt Liz for comfort.
After all the drama and pain i moved on. Im happy to say that i am over men. They are pigs and who needs them, NOT me. I am now with Rae, but SHHHH, its a secret!I also found the strength to forgive my older sister for that whole Chad thing, and my mother for not telling i had a brother out there. I recently came out of the closet, and everyone understands where im coming from. My friends, my sister and my mom love me just the way i am,but now, my father hates me. He cant stand being in the same room with me just because im lesbian. Hopefully one day i will have the same relationship i had with my father before i came out of the closet,but right now, its not going to happen.
