Chapter 2 Always the good girl...

Chapter 1

JJ's pov

I was your average "good" girl. I never did anything wrong. I got good grades and have never been in trouble. I was raised by two wonderful parents that loved me very much. Well, that was until my father died. Now my mom and I are all on our own.

She does the best she can, so I try to do everything right. I just want to make her proud. After my dad died, she was so lonely. She never smiled. Lately that has all changed, and I am thankful for that. It seems like things are finally getting better for us.

Maybe now I could focus on having a life. For so long my life had to be perfect so I didn't stress out my dad since he was sick. I didn't mind it. I just wanted to make them proud. Now that my mom is doing better, I can live a little.

She is starting to go out with friends and enjoy her life. I am a high school senior, and I have never been in love. I did have one boyfriend, but he was just using me. Stupidly I gave him my v-card. But he was the only one.

I felt like I was dying inside with boredom. I wanted to break free. I needed to do something that was unlike me. I felt like my whole life was so predictable. Soon all of us will be off to college. I wanted to have some fun with my friends before we all went our separate ways.

I needed to live and be free. So, we needed to make this year epic. We were seniors and I didn't want to just be the girl everyone forgot. I was easily overlooked. I wanted to make an impression.

I couldn't go to college being plain ol' JJ. No this was going to be the year I reinvent myself. Try new at least one new thing every day maybe even date someone and possibly fall in love. I just wanted to spread my wings and live. I wanted to make memories this year that could last a lifetime.
