***This story is based off of the idea from the Patrick Ness story "The Rest of Us Live Here" but is NOT a fanfic or a spin-off*** Bryly Adams could win an award for being normal. She has the same generic brown hair, brown eyes and height that almost every 11th grade girl has in the history of the United States has ever had. Her family is normal too; politician dad who works a lot but is a family man, a supportive mom who helps their dad work from home, and a sister who is a high achiever and an avid gymnast. She has friends with the right amount of crazy and the right amount of calm and Finn, a boyfriend who is everything she ever wanted in a guy. The only problem is that Finn is the Chosen One. The Chosen One who battles zombies and rogue vampires on alternating weekends and still manages to pass pre-calculus. The Chosen One who has started to miss family dinners and has wrecked five cars in the past two years. The Chosen One who missed his girlfriends birthday and who has started to blow her off just to go save the world. Bryly understands that the lives of millions of people are in her boyfriend's hands but she can't help but wonder who is going to save HER life. When she suddenly gets pulled into the Chosen business, she starts to understand WHY there is a Chosen One, so everyone else doesn't need to worry about the insanity that everyday Chosen Ones live through. As she accidently stumbles deeper and deeper in to her Finn's life, she finds out that even Chosen Ones need their own hero.
