PREFACE

I walked out the school doors, not even hesitating to look back. I didn't want to remember it anymore. Didn't want to remeber anything anymore. I slowly made my through the school gardens, trying to take in it's beauty for the last time. The moon was so bright that night shining in the onyx sky. A big full moon.

For the first time in my life I felt calm, safe even. I t felt so right in that garden. Like I belonged. But I knew that I was just lying to myself. There's no WAY that I'd be safe, let alone belong. My eyes started to water. I thought about Samantha and Kylie, how they used to be like - no. No they WERE my sisters. But now they didn't even care anymore. Then there was Danny. The boy who I swore I loved, and found out it was all a lie.

But maybe I could.. start a new life then? Maybe I could get away. Move to another city, farther away from here. I could always get an early job and even rent a place to live.. Maybe life would get better. Maybe I still DID have a chance! Maybe-

I suddenly saw a bright flash of light and a loud honk. But I realized where I was standing too late. I looked to my left and briefly saw an image of an image of a truck.

CRASH!

I fell to the ashfault.

CHAPTER 1

"MA! HAVE YOU SEEN MY LEATHER JACKET?"

"Come downstairs baby-cake! I can't hear you so well!"

I ran down the winding carpeted staircase, skidded into the Kitchen and tripped almost bashing my head on the tile cause of my dumb socks. My mother shook her head and helped me up off of the ground. She was wearing her cute little frilly apron and in the middle of fixing eggs and bacon for breakfast. I was panting from the running

"Ma, have you seen my leather jacket?"

"Honey," she gave me a look "you got so many of them darn jackets, I don't know where in the name of the Lord you'd expect me to find them." she responded in her rough country twang.

I rolled my eyes "Ma, why you gotta bring Jesus into this?"

She gave me yet another look.

I sighed "My dark brown one that I got on my birthday."

She turned her back to me and went to her stove again "In the closet in the basement."

I hugged her from behind and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek "Thanks Ma!"

I ran down the stairs to the basement bumping right into my brother and almost falling. luckily he caught me. How many times was I going to fall today?

"Woaaah there champ!"

I half smiled at his nickname for me "Sorry Hunter. Just gettin' my jacket."

Hunter flopped on the couch as I ran into the closet.

"So Jazz, you excited to be a sophomore at my school?"

I laughed as I rummaged through the coat hangers "Heck yeah! Even though I'm starting in October, I'm still excited. No more being some little twerp everyone just bosses aroud!" I walked out the closet with my jacket, feeling warm and safe. My favorite jacket of all time was this one. It was really cozy and fit me perfectly, like it was made for me. It made me feel safe and protected from everything.

Right then, Hunter ran up to me and lifted me off my feet spinning me in the air "Girly, you'll always be my little twerp!"

I let out a shriek and giggled "Hunter!"

He set me gently back down on the ground and ran a hand through his styled dirty blond hair, "Well now that you moved out of Dad's place, you'll be at MY high school! And now if any boy has the stupidity to to hit on you, I'll beat the crap outta 'em!"

I punched his chest and he groaned "Good! There's no way in hell I'm gonna let you do that to the boys.." I thought about that for a second "Unless they hurt me. THEN you can mess them up."

My bro laughed and pulled me into a giant bear hug "That's my Jazzy!"

I wheezed "Can't- BREATHE!"

He let go of me and I gave him my best stank eye "You do realize that you're a senior, 6'3 quarterback, who's built like a rock, right? You could squeeze me to death!"

He rolled his eyes "Whatever Jasmine."

 I smacked him on the head "You know I don't like that damn name!"

He shrugged "Do I? 'Cause lately I think I've been suffering from some memory loss." His turquoise eyes gleamed showing a hint of smugness.

"Don't play dumb," I gave him my best death glare "you're just upset that I'm growing up!" I crossed my arms on my chest.

He chuckled and rolled his eyes yet again "Sure I am."

I stuck my tougne out at him "Whattevaa my brada!" I sat down beside him and we were quiet for a bit as he patted my hair down softly while I put my head on his shoulder.

"I've really missed you Jazz.."

I sighed "I'm sorry.. I know I've been with Dad for a long time, but he's really unstable and all my friends were there and I was raised in the town and it's all nice and hot and-"

Hunter cut me off "Jazz. Stop. It's alright that you wanted to stay with him.. I just.. kinda missed having my little sis to joke around with."

"Me too." I closed my eyes for a minute. Sure, at first living with Dad seemed like what I wanted, but then school got worse..

My thoughts were interrupted by our mother yelling down at us "HUNTER!! JASMINE! GET OUT THE HOUSE! YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!"

We rushed up the stairs together and got to the front door. Hunter put on his low top black converse while I slipped into my black leather cowboy boots. I stood at the front door. 

This was the time. I wasn't gonna be afraid anymore. I didn't need to be. I was safe from those people back home now. THIS was my home. And i was going to go to my new school and be confident. Meet new friends. Leave the past behind. 

I was more than ready and was gonna take anything. Any challange anyone would throw at me. 

I put my hand on the doornob and turned it.
