~Prologue

"If not bliss, ignorance can at least be fun. "

~Carter Burwell

                        I was just an average teen, looking for acceptance and admiration. Well, I was trying to be average, but in reality, I was far from average. What I was, was awkward, innocent, insecure, and sheltered. Way beyond sheltered.

                I had no life outside my homeschooled little bubble. I stayed home all day and only ventured forth to go to choir or to hang out with my friend- my only friend that still lived nearby or that wasn't online (But let's face it, my online friends are the best)- whom I lived vicariously through. She was my life.

                I know, it sounds freakishly weird, but it's true. She was completely different than me. Free. She actually had a life, with friends. I wanted that so badly, for a long time, I just hadn't known I wanted it until I met... Him...

                You're probably thinking, 'Oh, another one of those stories. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, he changes her, and they live happily ever after.' but that's not how my story goes. Far from it actually. I wanted my story to be like that. You have no idea how badly I wanted that- still do. I wanted my happily ever after with the bad boy, but that's not how life goes. You don't get to pick your happily ever after, and most of the time, you don't even get a happily ever after.

         My story is far from romantic- so if you're looking for something freakishly romantic, stop reading. My story is about how I fell for a guy over text and how the guy- the one I thought would be THE ONE- broke my heart. He broke my heart and I don't even think he knows it...
