FAKE

PART VI: FUTURE

MID JANUARY

I: now

The past weeks have been so chaotic and fun. I've been taking long needed breaks and I keep getting so many reviews for my book it's surprising. This year has started off so strong and I cannot wait to move further into this year. The cold is getting strong as I am getting emotionally stronger too. I can finally control my emotions and I still see Mrs. Hall to check up on her. I don't pay for her visits anymore, she takes me in for free because of proud she is of me. I feel so loved and I came back to the school but not to take classes. I had to give a speech. It was basically a repetition of what I wrote in my final chapter of my book about fake friends. That's the chapter people always want me to read out loud, and they all listen very closely. I've been booked at a lot of bars, universities, and venues around Ohio to share my "bestselling" book. People are starting to talk about it in many other states now. Even Hawaii has the book in stock and I see people reading it by the beach. People are calling my book a masterpiece and I tear up every single time that I read that. I can't believe people are STILL reading my book and I'm growing a bigger and bigger audience. I am going to use this platform to talk about these important issues. I have been requested by many anti-bully organizations if I could be an advocate for them and I am now a member of over a hundred support groups all around the world about splitting with someone you love. They keep requesting me on tv too but I don't think I'm ready, not just yet. I will appear on tv when I think I'm ready to answer their burning questions. It's a lot to handle for someone like me but with the help of Andrew and Ashley. Ryan keeps in touch with me from New York about all the sales and important information that I sometimes don't even understand. It's so fun though. I would rather be having this fun time and exciting chaos than doing anything else. It keeps me busy. It helps me still recover even though I think I'm way better than I was. My favorite thing, above all the nice compliments, the sales, the pictures, and the reviews, are the messages I get from so many different types of people who tell me that my book helped the. That it left an impact on them. When I wrote this book that is more than 200 pages long, I always kept that passion in my mind to not give up and to fuel my creativeness. When I wrote this book the reason why it never got tiring to write or exhausting was because my passion to educate the world on some issues and maybe open their eyes. That is why I'm so passionate. If I don't feel passionate about something, it is going to be very difficult to get me to create something wonderful or meaningful. Something else that powers my creativity is my emotion. It doesn't matter if I'm infuriated, gloomy, or excited, I always use my emotion to make something meaningful. If I am mad, I use the reason as to why I'm angry to educate people on the issue or express my feelings on whatever is going on. When I am sad, I use my creativity to write something that will uplift others when they are down and hopefully uplift me. When I'm happy, I usually use that to express my contentment and usually pour out a lot of positivity. It all depends on what I'm trying to convey or teach in my writing. It's so hard to explain, I just naturally love helping people just like Mrs. Hall.

I am so glad that my book is already helping people.

Andrew calls me and I answer right away. He tells me that my book is now number one on the national bestseller list and I break down crying.

"I am so proud of you, baby," he says through the phone and I melt into so many different emotions of happiness. I love him, he's always so supportive. I tell him that I will call him later and run downstairs to my parents.

"Mom, Dad! My book is a national bestseller! It's at number on right now!" I scream and burst into tears. They come rushing to my side and hug me tightly. I love them so much even though I never get to see them.

They congratulate me and tell me that they are so proud of me. I call Ashley and tell her, she flips out of the phone and tells me that she is coming right over right now. Shanon and Ryan blast my phone with so many hearts and sweet messages. I could not be happier right now. Hard work always pays off in the end. I look at my phone through my tears, and tweet.

THANK YOU GUYS. YOU ALL MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO HIT THE NUMBER ONE SPOT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I send out the tweet and in minutes people are telling me they love me, loved my book, that I deserved it. If you ever feel lonely or that no one is there for you, just think of this, just right around the corner there is going to be a crazy amount of people that love and support you. You are not alone. If you are kind, people who deserve you will be respectful and kind to you. Trust me on that.

Ashley comes over and gives me a huge hug. She starts crying too and we are both a mess.

This is a dream come true.
