It's been two years since the incident. That's all we ever refer to it as. We don't ever really bring it up unless we need to. But its better this way.

I haven't smoked or cut since then. Haven't drank anything alcoholic either. Haven't tried to commit suicide again or gone off the deep end. So far it's been really great. I was released from therapy (finally) a week ago. I finished high school as well. I stopped going to the school and started taking classes online like Tara after what happened. Therapist -and friend- recommended.

I'm not sure how Brianna has been. No one talks about her or what happened to her because of that. I imagine they got her help for her issues and made her stop going to high school as well. I didn't press charges or anything against her like someone (*cough* my girlfriend *cough*) wanted me to. I did for my step dad and his buddies though. They can rot in hell for all I care. Fuck they should rot in hell for all that. I'm sure all the other girls that they did this to agree with me.

Ray and Hudson are still dating each other and I highly doubt there going to break up anytime soon. Or ever. Like me and Tara. It's not legal in our state or else we'd be married right now. We've got some pretty crap, but still beautiful, rings to show that though. We may be young, but we are completely in love and never going to leave each other and, if anyone asks, we say we're married. We are in our minds at least.

Tara, Hudson, and Ray are all going to college now. Well, Tara is taking most of her classes online (which is so like her to do). She says it's because she wants' to stay around me as much as possible but I think she just doesn't want to get off her ass and go somewhere. Ray and Hudson are living at the college and managed to get a dorm together. I decided not to go to college and risk any sort of drama and instead get a job already. It's not the best but I think I'm a pretty damn good waitress.

One AWESOME thing came out of my job though! I saw Jonny-Dale again! Pretty random place to see him. Found out that he left his little gang or whatever to try to sober up. He heard about me through the news and thought that he'd try and get better as well. So he's now one of my amazing friends and one hell of a chef. He's going by his first name and not the one his friends gave him so he's just Johnston now.

That's all that has changed in these two years. Things are better than I could have ever imagined them to be. I went from wanting to kill myself when I turned 18 to living past that (I'm 19 now) and having an amazing life with the people I love. Now It's all because I met Tara, Ray, and Hudson. But mostly, because I fell in love with the best woman in the world.
