Its been almost a month since Jordan took me down to the waterfall. Since then there's been no more parties because everyone has been really busy. A few days after the party I started my mixed martial arts lessons. On my free time I take a boxing class for even better self defense. My aunt Bonnie says she's never seen someone move up so fast in all her years of teaching. She's the one who taught me and still is, the business is hers. What she doesn't know is that I will use these skills when I go back to school at the end of the summer.  Sometimes I even help with the younger students and get paid for it.

Over the past month I have become what Jordan would call fearless.  I don't think about my life before this summer anymore. I still have yet to talk to anyone about it but I think he knows I'm keeping something from him, everyone does. Aunt Bonnie has tried to talk about my raggedy clothes before but I always change the topic.  I never know how to explain things to her. How do I tell her that her sister and brother in law just up and abandoned me at eight years old. One of these days when she brings it up I'll slowly start to open up to her about it.

It's a Saturday morning and I still have yet to get out of bed. There's plenty of things I could be doing today but since I have arrived here I have been up and busy non stop. My muscles constantly scream from all my working out. I'm going to have a lazy day. Its official. No one has bothered me yet today which is surprising. Maybe Jordan forget about me... no way because he never has. Groaning and rolling over I glanced at the alarm clock and my eyes bulged out of my head. 10:10!! I've never slept in this late unless I was really sick at home.

Swinging my legs over the bed I grudgingly got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. I turned the radio on and the shower.  Wash the sweat off me from last nights night mare. Since I've arrived I have had night mares every night but  have grown used to them and don't wake up screaming anymore. Not once have I cried either. Tears are only evidence of fear and weakness. No longer am I weak ad I vow to never be again.

"I see your fantasy you wanna make it a reality baby....

Back off I'll take you on! Headstrong to take on anyone. I know that you are wrong. Headstrong! Headstrong!

Back off I'll take you on. Headstrong to take on anyone.

I know that you are wrong, and this is not where you belong. I won't give everything away."

The song Headstrong by Trapt came on. This is one of my favorite songs. it's a good song to work out to. I took a long relaxing shower. When I got out I darted into my closet and grabbed a bra and underwear set. Black lace is sexy in a guys eyes. Over the past month I have learned a lot about fashion from my aunt. Since my first week I haven't needed any help with my make up. I can do anything from simple to smoky eyes.

"Hey there sexy" I screamed and spun around in a fighting stance ready to attack. Sighing when it was only Jordan I went back to looking for clothes to wear. He always manages to sneak up on me. Never has a guy seen me in this minimal of clothes but for some reason it doesn't bother me. He doesn't look at me like he does other girls. He says I'm like a sister which is good because I only see him as a brother. I have always wanted a older brother and now I have one. He never stares at me weirdly or ogles me in a perverted way. He always glances and simply compliments me.

His hair was tousled like he hadn't brushed it yet. He had a gray v-neck t-shirt on and a pair of dark wash pants on. He looked sexy. Any girl would be lucky to date a guy like him; he has looks and an amazing personality.

"So what are we going to do today"

"Uh well you can do what ever you please but today I am taking a day off and being lazy." I pulled a pair of ripped jeans off the shelf, they were the only thing I saved from my old life. They stilled smelled of my old life. I couldnt help but let the emotions slip through.
