Chapter One:
One day wasn't enough, she needed more time. Any time would do at this point. She knew her love, their love, was hopeless. "Why try anymore?" She would always ask. The answer was always the same.
"Well, why give up? What is the point of fighting so hard just to give up now?" Stephanie was tired of hearing the same thing over and over again, but it always made her think. Always gave her something to put on her mind to forget her life. Stephanie really hated her life, no, it wasn't bad, but she just didn't want to be there. She didn't feel wanted enough. Stephanie has very low self esteem, she always has. She needed to know what it was like to love herself for a change. The best day of her life brings her this, she found out how to love herself.
Stephanie found herself falling in love with Trevor, her best friend's cousin. Cheyenne never let her down. Cheyenne was and will always be everything to Stephanie. No one could separate them. Stephanie trusted her with her life. When Cheyenne told Stephanie about Trevor, Stephanie was very unsure. Stephanie, with her low self esteem, didn't believe Trevor could ever actually fall for her. For seven months, Cheyenne tried to get these two together. When one was single, the other wasn't. Finally Cheyenne was able to get these two to spend time together. They spent time together nervously. Both where scared to do something stupid. For that night the only ones who couldn't see them falling in love was, well, them. Everyone knew. They wanted to know. She wanted to know.
The night was beautiful. Nothing could go wrong; no one wanted anything to be different. Everything was meant to be. If only they were. Stephanie's whole life surrounds those moments with Trevor. Stephanie loved talking to him, never ever wanted to stop. Trevor was everything to Stephanie. Stephanie had to work over the summer. She saw old friends and met new. Stephanie barley talked to Trevor. He had a life too.
She always thought she was annoying him if she talked to him first. So Stephanie would wait and wait and wait... She can't wait forever... But she did. Stephanie always had a friend by her side, but without talking to Trevor, she was alone. Soon enough, she got lonely. She needed something to get her mind off being lonely, she found a new friend (a guy) and went and hung out. They talked all the time, he always told her he missed her, but yet he wasn't Trevor. Trevor was everything like Stephanie, mirror image; just the only difference was Trevor was obviously a guy. Stephanie had to learn to love herself in order for her to fall in love with Trevor. It was the only way. While with Trevor she believed in herself, was actually happy and proud of herself. She had someone who loved her for her, not for what she could be.
Stephanie was different, every one noticed. Her eyes lit up when she smiled. She was happy for once in a long while. Little did anyone know this would change. Stephanie made the biggest mistake of her life. She lost the best thing that ever happened to her. Now she felt alone. She felt like she had no one, she refused to move on.
Ø Two months ago:
Stephanie talked to Trevor every night. Never a night missed. Talked about nothing, but managed to talk for hours. One night Cheyenne called, late. Little did Stephanie know, Cheyenne's house was in flames. Her best friend's house in flames. This scared Stephanie to no extent. Life went on, everything seemed to get worse.
Well, Stephanie and Cheyenne still managed to get in trouble, like the trouble makers they are, things went downhill for Stephanie. Getting in trouble to keep Cheyenne's mind off things, back fired on her. She was losing someone, someone who meant the world to her! She was losing Trevor! Trevor's dad was a protective dad. Wanted nothing but the best for his son. A girl who was always in trouble was not Trevor's dad's idea of "best for his son." At first Trevor was not stepping down. He was going to fight to keep Stephanie, but could not fight forever. He didn't fight forever either.
