So it was December, I was laying down on my bed, but extremely excited, because only one week was left before we go into Winter Break. Marlene, Selena, and I had planned a trip to the O2L. Jc and I have maintained a healthy relationship and thanks to him as well as my friends and cousin I have overcome my insecurities and am living a very happy life at the moment.

I'm a new soul.

I decided I would record a video, just to show my improvement in attitude and point of view.

Melissa, you're too philosophical

"Should I?" I asked myself "I don't wanna brag though... and now I'm talking to myself great way to be normal." I smiled to myself sarcastically.

I'm such a sarcastic mess.

But, it is a proven fact that it makes you smarter to be around sarcastic people...

So, technically I'm a gift from GOD.

Damn. I would get at me, honestly.

"MELISSA FOCUS!" I snapped myself out of thought.

"Sweetie, are you talking to yourself again?" my nosy cousin's voice asked through my door.

"Go away I'm trying to focus!" I responded annoyed, ignoring her question completely.

"That girl has serious issues" I heard my cousin quietly chuckle to herself.

So, I decided I would conquer my laziness and lack of focus by getting out of bed and getting my camera and recording a normal video.

But then again what is normal?

My normal can be different from my viewers normal.

Then again is anyone normal?

Dammit, Melissa! You're doing it again.

So, getting back to what I was doing I set the camera on my bed and recorded my video.

Once, I finished recording my video I decided I would edit now rather than later and feel pressured into squeezing it into my schedule. So, I imported the video and started editing, but then the doorbell rang and as usual I knew Marie would not get up to answer it so I went down to open the door myself.

"Mail for Melissa Moreo" the delivery man stated.

"Oh mail for me?" I asked confused.

"Seems like it" he smiled "sign here please" he handed me his digital clip board. As I finished me we exchanged the objects being held.

"Thank you, have a nice day" I waved to him with a warm smile.

"You too, sweetheart" he waved back.

I saw the package and I wondered what it was it was sent to my name, but it had no information of where it was from.

"Who was at the door?!" my cousin hollered from upstairs.

"Just the delivery man!" I yelled back.

"Is there something for me?!" she screamed as loud as she could.

"No!" I responded.

"Ok!" she simply replied, which ended the conversation between her and I.

I looked at the box curiously, trying to figure out who sent it and what's inside.

Like what if it's a bomb?

Don't be stupid Melissa, oh my god.

So interrupting my thoughts, I went to the kitchen and got a knife to open the box. I opened it and I was confused by what was in it. It was an envelope.

"An envelope?" I asked myself, expecting myself to come out with an answer.

I took the envelope out, but noticed there was a little box underneath it. I opened the envelope and started reading the letter that was sent to me.

Dear Darling,
I know you're probably like what the eff is this and who the eff is this from... and well by now you should know, unless you get called 'darling' by someone else (we're gonna have a problem) <totally kidding by the way... well anyways... I sent this to you, because of the fact that I'm dying to give it to you and it cannot wait 'til you get here. Sorry that I can't be there to personally to present it to you, but it's your fault for being so young! Well, anyways... follow my instructions.
Ok? Ok.
1. Open the box

I looked away from the letter and opened the little box. It was a charm bracelet. After opening, I continued reading the letter.

Do you like it? I mean I'm not very creative, but I thought this would be something different to show you how much I feel and how much I can present before your beautiful eyes.
Now...
2. Take the charm bracelet out of it's box

"Jc, you are a very demanding person" I joked to myself, as I did what was written.
There was a little taco charm and a smiley face charm.

The taco was for our "first date" and the smile is for the way you make me feel... you make me feel happy and I'm forever grateful for that. This charm bracelet is also a question... things are getting serious between us and I just wanted to make a proposal... Do you believe in us? If you do, accept my gift and I will continue making you believe... that's all I have the balls to say, for now. I would like to express the rest of my 'letter' in person, so I'll save it 'til I see your darling face again.
Love,
Jc

And then I realized... my life had completely turned upside down in a matter of months. Somehow my sadness found a way of converting into happiness and I had yet to wait for what was coming.
