6 years later...

Wednesday 1st Septemeber 1976

Freshman year came quickly. But that also meant I would be turning 15. And in spain or mexico, your 15th Birthday is like an 18th or 16th Birthday, we call it a quinceanera.But I don't expect people who don't come from a spanish or mexican background to know that. Lots of people don't. Not even ziggy did till I told her.

And in case your wondering who Ziggy is, her Real name is Christine Alder. She changed her nickname quite a few times since we were 8. Tia to, tina, to christy, to chris, to christian, don't ask me how that one works, i don't know either, we were 12 i guess, dark times.

There were lots more before she finally said she's settling on Ziggy. I don't know how that works, but she's my bestfriend, I'll support her in everything. Accept for maybe her, awful taste in men. And movies.

*Flashback*

June -1973

"woah, shut. UP!!" Ziggy said in shock, slamming her orange juice carton on the bench table.(A/n you know those like tables that you have in like parks and stuff, that are like tables but they have benches attached to them idk what they are called. Hopefully yk what I mean :D Also excuse my awful spelling in this book.) "I know right isn't it awesome" I said tilting my head and resting it on my hand, smiling.

"So its basically WAY better than any party ever," She said. "Yeah basically, but I don't think I really want to have a massive one though." I said thinking. "Why not? I don't care I'm planning it with your Mom and you will celebrate, because the whole world should know your 15." Ziggy said throwing her hands up into the air.

"Calm down, we're only just going into Middle school, Its ages away. And you are not planning it with my mom." I said laughing. "Oh yeah?" she said raising an eyebrow. "Uh yeah." I said.

"Watch me" she said smirking.

*End of Flashback*

There was 6 days left till my quinceanera, I still had  no clue what I was going to do. But thats okay. Because Ziggy did. Apparently she had been planning this ever since I told her what it was but, that probably meant at the least 6 months ago. I think. Kinda.

Most of my family from spain were coming. The only problem I still had was my makeup. And I wasn't going to have someone pay to do my makeup. Thats why I have Maddy.

Maddy was my cousin, she lives here in North Denver, she deserves the world. After my Brother left home at 16, she was there for me when he couldn't. I've always wanted to be like Maddy. But I know I can't.

She taught me about most things in life.Periods, boys, taste, poularity.  Because quickly enough my mother lost interest in me again, after moving. So I was tossed aside like a rag doll once more, while she hung out with her boyfriend, and drank down the bar, and went to clubs. So Maddy was the one tucking me into bed at night. Watching movie's with me, teaching me how to cook and things like that, safe to say if my Maddy didn't exist, I wouldn't be anywhere near the person I am now. Perhaps not even a person at all. 

Shes only 18, she's in her senior year now. But she's always acted so much older. She's always been like the big sister I never had. I really don't deserve her.

My aunt, Maddy's mom, my mum's sister was always like a second mom to me. She looked after me like one, and loved me like a daughter. Sometimes I got Jealous of Maddy, with her perfect parents, and her perfect life. It was sickeningly perfect.
