chapter 1
part 2
The moving truck was huge and yellow. Until that
moment I would have told you that yellow was a happy color... but
right now it was not.
My dad and grandpa loaded boxes in
the car as I sat on our porch steps sipping on a glass of iced
lemonade.
I bet I looked picture perfect. Short faded jeans, a bright pink
tank, my yellow Raybans, bright blue vans, and my hair in loose
braids. A perfect example of a happy teenage summer, but
the only thing was that, that wasn't me at all.
My best friend walked up to me from her house which was just
across the street.
I stood up as she approached. She handed me a small light blue
box.
"It's just a little something." she said shrugging
her shoulders and digging her hands deeper into her white skinny
jeans.
"Im
going to miss you so much." I said taking her in for a
hug.
My mom called for me to get in the truck so I let go and we
walked to the truck.
"Promise me you'll text me everyday?" she said
concerned, almost as if she thought that I would forget about
her.
"I will I promise." I said as giddily as I could at a
time like this. I climbed to the seats of the truck and looked
down at her.
she smiled with care. I knew that she was going to miss me as
much as I was going to miss her.
"Hey... will you do me a favor?" I said sitting down on
the edge of the seat of the truck.
"Anything."
"Tell him I loved him. Tell him I always have... no matter
what I said... I always did."
I sighed. Ive always wanted to tell him that, but i
never had the courage too.
so this is how it ends... and begins.
"I will." she said with a nod.
I closed the truck door and pressed my hands against the window
in the shape of a heart.
and she did the same as I drove away.
more tomorrow... wait no. no more tomorrow... well maybe. but
dont count
on it.
ps.

chapter 1
part 1
I looked around
at the boxes, stacked up around my room after getting home from
school. I was hugging my knee's on the scratchy carpet of my
almost bare room... shocked and somewhat confused. I pulled out
my phone and checked the date, no it wasn't April 1st. So this
wasn't an April's Fools joke. I stood up and walked into my
parents room where they were whispering.
"so whats up with the boxes?" i asked,
baffled.
it was rare for my parents to keep
secrets.
My mom gave me
a concerned look and put her hands on my shoulders.
"Hun, were moving away." she said
with a caring smile as if everything was going to be all right,
but I knew it wasn't.
"moving? ha ha your funny. nice
joke..." i said as if i were right. but i knew i
wasn't.
my parents were not ones to joke
about things like this.
i walked out of room in fear of
the response. I heard my mom come after me and then my dad's
gentle word's, "Stacey, let her go."
I ran to my room and cried until
I could no more.
how could i leave the life I had
here in tenessee? leave my friends, leave my home, and all the
memories I had made.
I had to start over... flip the
page and move on.
a fresh start...
it sounded scary, exciting, and
such a terrible idea... all at the same
time.
more to come later tomorrow...
like after school! (yes i am in school :( so terrible right?!)

what your about to read
(a.k.a prologue)
Moving is never fun, especially
when the only people you know where your headed are your
parents, your high school has 4,000 students (that is like the
size of a small city), and you can't seem to make any
friends. But that's until you meet Sam and that is when
your world flips upside down.
BUT DON'T STOP READING THERE
You may be thinking... this is a stupid boy meets girl novel
just like the 917,636,540,865 stories on here. But Sam Willis
is so not the love interest.
So to explain better in creative fashion... I'll give you
"7 reasons why..." you should read this novel:
1) It will be different than any story
you've read on witty
2) It's real life... no vamps... something
you might relate to.
3) im kinda a big deal... just kidding,
im just
your average witty writer and i love new readers
4)Sam's a real cutie... even though
he's not the love interest... well things might
change
5) so is the real love interest... you may
just fall for him even though he's not real
6) i'll update regularly... every
tuesday and saturday
7) i have no more reasons... besides just read
it!!!

"So what did you
do?" I asked curiously. Forrest had an air of mystery about
him that made me want to listen to him for hours. Which I had
been doing all night.
"Well, I found my dad's wallet and took enough money to
buy 2 tickets to the Carnival that was in town. My brother and I
stayed at the Carnival all day, even until the park closed for
teens. Thats when Ms. Heather found us."
"Who is Ms. Heather?"
"She's kinda like my second mom, since my real one is...
dead."
"Oh. Well continue on."
"Ms. Heather politely asked where our parents were and I
told her my mom was dead and my dad... well I couldn't take
my brother back to that situation. She felt bad and decided to
see if, somehow, she could find a way to help us out. She called
my dad and he said that he would love for her take us of his
hands."
"So you stayed at the Carnival?"
"For 14 years?"
"Yea, pretty much. Been here my whole life. These people are
my family."
"So your like a run away?"
"Well, kinda. My dad did say he didnt want us."
"Dont you ever miss him?"
"Sometimes, but its very rare. I like to push that thought
out of my mind. He almost killed me, so I dont see how I can love
a person that did that."
"wow. Wait, your brother... where is he now?'
"He died at age 10. I was 12... but he did have his mental
illness, and he had been almost beaten to death many times.
Heather got me through it."
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Jamie...
surprisingly conscience. she blinked her eyes at me a few times
before talking, "Who's your friend?" she asked in
an almost whisper.
"Oh, this is Forrest, Forest, Jamie." i turned around
and looked at where forrest was standing to find... no
Forest.
"Thanks for introducing me to your imaginary friend, now
whose that beside you."
i looked over to the right to find a random teen guy sitting
beside me i hadn't noticed before.
"erm... i dont know. Uh, Hi... jamie, guy i dont know, guy i
dont know, Jamie."
as he introduced himself as Micheal, i looked up and down the bar
for Forest who was not present. Then around the room. Where had
he gone?
i looked down at the coaster that was not stained with water
droplets. I moved my cup and flipped around... to find a
note:
"Now i want to hear your story... meet me here again
tomorrow night. see you at 11. -Forest"

I woke
up with a plan in mind. I had to leave that morning. Tell Walter
you were running errands, pull some money to get by with out of
the ATM, get a new job, change name and looks, and find a small
apartment to live in. It would work, right?
I got up and got dressed. Walter was still asleep by the time I
got done, so I poked him on the shoulder.
"ugggghhhhh." he said as he rolled over on his back,
"yes hun?"
"Im going to run some errands, okay?"
"Ya, sure. Fine with me." he rolled over on his side
away from me and returned to his loud snore.
I slowly made my way down the steps careful not to wake the
children, but also taking in the last time I would probably make
my way down the steps. Tears welled up in my eyes as I walked to
the children's rooms and kissed there foreheads. As I kissed
Marianna's head her eyes fluttered open and she yawned.
"shhh." i told her, "go back to sleep
now."
As i walked out of the house and made my way to the car I wiped
my eyes.
I was going to miss their wedding, their graduation, their teen
years, but at least they could keep a good family name.
It was right what I was doing. It was unselfish, and I could
sleep at night knowing what I did was for the better of my
family.
I took one last look at the house and sighed. At least I had left
a note telling walter to get some better landscaping and to paint
the house white. That would make the house look a lot
better.

I took a big sip of my
diet coke and looked up at Forest who was now practically sitting
on the back counter, just watching me, waiting to get me a
refil.
i decided to make the moment less awkward.
"so, Forrest, what brings you to travel with the
Carnival?" i asked curiously.
"its a long story, so if i told you, you would be here all
night."
"you know that is just an exageration." i said in
between sips.
"so?" he said as he lifted his shoulders to a
shrug.
"well, you are the only person here that i could carry on a
meaningful conversation with." i told him as i looked around
at all the teens passed out around the barn.
"thats true."
i took a final sip of my diet coke and he got me another
refill.
"so, i come from a rich family." he started i knodded,
and mouthed i do too!
he smiled and continued on, "on late afternoon when i was
about 5, my mom was driving my brother and i back from the
park."
"oooo i loved the park when i was little!" he stopped
me there and returned to his story,
"on our way back we were in a hit and run. the car rammed
into us on our side of the lane and then sped away."
"omigosh! i remember that, my mom-" i held my tounge
when he silenced me.
"my mom died instantly in the crash. my brother and i were
in critical condition."
"oh... im so sorry to hear that."
"its fine. anyways. when my mom died, my dad didnt know what
to do, so he became very abusive. my brother and i were still
recovering from the wreck. i, miraculously, recovered completely,
while my brother had permanent brain damage. when we returned
home, we were beaten daily. i didnt know what to do until i was
8."
"you were beaten for 3 years? and your brother and his
mental ilness?"
"i know. i had to do something."
