A/n : there's a photo of Matt which you will soon find out about, he's a pretty awesome character, I'd dig knowing him irl

The next day, I chilled out. Thank goodness it's Christmas break. Two weeks away from prison is what need right now. When I walked downstairs, the smell of peppermint and chocolate filled the air. My mom was making peppermint bark! "Hey mom! Makin' sweets?"

"Of course! Just like every year! So, you never told me how last the other night was. Did y'all have fun?"

"Oh yeah. We saw Catching Fire!And Did you know Forest plays guitar?"

"No! That's pretty cool." she said putting the pan into the fridge. I didn't dare tell her about Ms.Davidson buying me the drums. She doesn't even know I can play any instrument at all.

"Yeah, he's great. Do you mind if I go back later?"

She sighed, "I get it, spending the day with the BF is better than lumpy old mom."

"Oh shush Momma. You know you'll always be first in my life."

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Just go have fun!" She said nudging my elbow.

I went up to my room and pulled out my special book.

Christmas is almost here, I'm super excited. Especially the no school part ;) . Yesterday Forest bought me drums-well his mom; same thing. We're thinking about starting a band. It's not for sure or anything, but it won't escape my head. After we set the drums up, which took a long time, we decided to sort out practicing later. If we did make a band...I wonder what our name would be, and what kind of music would we do..? Oh well, it'll be fun to think about. I'm just so happy we're together. Riley; I'm still a bit bummed and hurt but it's not the end of the word, but Riley's making it seem that way. He's so persistent about things. He'll just have to find some other girl, which in his case won't be hard. Hopefully life is taking a turn for the best.

I looked up at the wall, my eyes landing on the Polaroid photo of Riley and I. The memories of that day flashed in my head. We were having so much fun, he looked super cute in that photo. Wait- shut up Taylor! What are you saying?! Without thinking, I ripped the photo off the wall-nearly tearing it- and stuck it into a random page of my journal. Part of me didn't want to trash it, because a picture can hold more than a thousand words, and I don't believe in throwing away memories...at least not the good ones. My phone snapped me out of my deep thoughts.

Jewl: Heyy! We haven't had a girl day in forever! Btw, how are you and Forest ;)

Me: Perfect:) What about you and Danny?!

Jewl: OMG Taylor, he is the nicest guy ever. I think we're offically together now!!!!

A sense of warmth came over me knowing my best friend's happy.

Me: Aww Jewl!!! That's great!

Jewl: GASP. I have an idea. We should all double date

Me: Haha maybe

Jewl: Tonight???

Me: I don't know, I'm still waiting to hear from Forest. I'll call you later okay?

Jewl: K!

After a couple hours of being lazy and sketching, Forest texted.

Forest: Where's my punk drummer princess?

Me: haha at home, as usual :)

Forest: Come over! We can start creating the band!
