Everyone has a story of who they are and how they came to be that way. More importantly, people also have their reasons to why they chose individuals as friends. People surround themselves with people they enjoy being around. It goes without being said that people have individual traits and characteristics. Everyone has problems and at points we all have felt alone, but that's just life. Everyone has a story and you can see it through the wrinkles in their face. Each is different, which is the most beautiful thing. It's what defines them. I was the only exception to this or at least that's what I thought but of course it all changed in one day, multiple times.

Now you may be wondering what exactly all of that means, well to be honest I really have no explanation  other than certain things happen regardless of if we want them to or not. People get into car wrecks while doing everything to try to avoid them but people still wreck because we're human. People let the one's they love the most walk out of their life, especially when they need them the most, because people are human.

To summarize it all down every little thing that happens in a person's life had a purpose. The things that would happen to me in my life as a teenager in a way I might have took for granted or maybe I hadn't, I'm leaving that up to you to decide, however, I have no clue as to what would happen in my life well because it hasn't happened yet. Did I make you think that the events had already been done and that I'm telling this story from the perspective that I've already lived it and it's being told from the latter? If so then go me, I guess. If not then completely ignore everything except the first sentence and what I'm about to say. I know that things are about to happen, just obviously I don't know when and if I'm being honest I really don't care when they happen.

Time to introduce you all to my family. My brother, Tyler, and I are 17 year old twins. Now don't get me wrong, I love my brother and we have a bond that can never be broken but sometimes he can be stupid although he and I are at the top of our class. Which when I say the top I mean he is third overall and I am second. Tyler has extremely blue eyes, brown hair, 6"3', and the only other thing I'll say is that his handsome meter was overfilled but hasn't bothered to come back down. Then there's my sister, Jessica who is a year older than me and Ty. To keep it short I'll tell you she is very beautiful and she's the shortest in our family standing at 5"11' which is still pretty tall. She's also what people consider to be smart but she was held back in the first grade because she couldn't develop the skills to read as fast as the teacher wanted but neither could another child but she was deemed perfectly fine going on to the next grade. I honestly believe the teacher held my sister back because of an incident.

Now obviously we three kids had to come from somebody. My father well he's something. He is 38 which would make him 20 when Jessica popped out of my mother. My father stands 6"4' and has a very beautiful face, you may think that's weird but it's the truth. Despite his beautiful face you can tell that it's not what it once was. This is because Myles was a kick-boxer in the CFA. (Authors note: the CFA is this story's equivalent to the UFC and if you don't like the UFC then what is wrong with you). His record was 23-2 and he retired at the age of 25 as the CFA light heavyweight champion. His career is debated because he retired after only having twenty-three fights but I mean he only lost two fights so... that should be validation. The reason he retired was because of me, Tyler, and Jessica. As I've said he would've only been twenty when he and my mother had Jess and then a year later me and Ty came. Myles has told me that he wanted to fight a while longer because he wanted to defend his title. He won his title in his sixteenth fight and then went on to defend it seven times, however he was unsuccessful in some of those fights. Shortly after he retired because he wanted to help his wife take care of their children. As for my mother, she died two years ago. She was the most sweetest and caring person and mother in the world. Anyone that met her would say this as well only within the first week that they knew her.

So yeah that's my family. We're not the greatest family, but what family is. The thing where we all connect is everyone has been through a lot of stuff way earlier than the average family would. When our mother died it was Tyler who, metaphorically, kept me, Jess, and our father from dying.

Oh! I almost forgot, my name is Jaidyn Washington. What a weird way to spell Jaidyn right? Well my mother wanted to name me Jaden but my fathers compromise was if I were to be named Jaden then it had to be spelled with a 'ai' and then a 'y' instead of 'e'. Mom being stuck on naming at least one of her daughters Jaden she happily agreed so hence my name is spelled Jaidyn. Firstly, I'm a lesbian which I figured out while dating my ex-boyfriend. I'm 17, have long light brown hair, stand at 6"1' (tallness runs in my family), and I'm not the most beautiful person but in no way am I even anything close to ugly either. And because our father is one the better known CFA fighters I guess you could say our family is rich, however I don't like to talk about it because to me it seems like flaunting our wealthiness and being arrogant. Which no one in our family is, well except maybe for Jessica but she has her reasons, which it may sound weird for a person to have an excuse to be arrogant but she does and it's in the past but she changed and hasn't gone back to the old Jess. My father got and still gets most of his money from the partnerships and companies he represents. Well anyway here is the story of my life as it happens.
