Addicted {c.h}

prologue

"my parents always warned me about the dangerous drugs on the street, but they never warned me about the ones with gorgeous brown eyes and a beating heart."
-----
two years ago my life changed, for better or for worse, but we'll get back to this at a later time.

I was a simple girl, from a large highschool, who moved onto a decent sized university. I kept to myself, and I was okay with this.

the only place I felt like I could be myself, 'Zooey's.' a small coffee shop where I worked as a barista throughout the week. it had a sit down library where you could read and drink your coffee or tea in peace. true simplicity. the owner, Zooey was someone I looked up to as the older sister I never had.

I lived in a nice house in america, with my mom, Alice and my dad, Brendon. I never had any siblings, I guess that's how I got so close with Zooey. I felt like I could trust her. like this was my home, away from home. when I decided I wanted to pack up my whole life back in America and move to England, of course my parents were nothing but supportive. I left behind everything I had there, and never looked back. occasional calls to and from my parents but that's the only contact I have left there.

as an outcast for most of my life, I kept everything bottled up. always stressed, never really got to 'live' my highschool years happy.

due to whatever reason, probably my horrific hair styles, acne, weight, glasses, any number of things, I could list them forever, anyway. I was bullied throughout my years of school. elementary, middle and high school the same girls made my life a living hell. the rumors about me that went around, was my breaking point. I pushed through senior year and couldn't bear to stay any longer than I had to. the things girls do for attention amazes me, how could anyone be this cruel?

I thought this would end after highschool, but it seemed to only follow me once I met 'him'. but we'll get back to him later also.

I trust him with everything and anything in my life. sure, we've been through our struggles. but every couple has. I never thought I'd ever get serious with someone. I thought I'd be alone forever, or on and off with boys. never this far.

I guess I learned to deal with everything, and I'm living free. happy. loved. content.
