Just Hold On

Being a teenager is easy? Huh, who said that? People say their high school years were the best years of their life, but for me they've been the worst. Finding out about my mom having cancer, my brother dating the biggest bitch in school, the one big mistake from my past following me everywhere I go and someone stalking every move I make is driving me insane. Sometimes I don't even know what's good anymore or who I can and can't trust.

By the way, my name is Nessa Stone and I'm a junior at Skyland High, where I have two best friends, crazy teachers and a whole lot of adventures and issues coming in my way. I pretend to be strong and positive on the outside but on the inside I'm just a scared girl trying to get through life the best I can.

Will I be able to be happy someday? To find love and be able to trust again? I don't know, but I hope so.

A BRIEF SCENE FROM JHO:

I hear my phone making a noise and I walk towards it, maybe it's one of my friends needing something. I click on my messages and it's an anonymous text,

'Wouldn't you like to take revenge on your brother's girlfriend?' the message reads. I look outside my window to see if someone's there but I don't see anyone.

'Who is this?' I text back.

'Isn't it obvious?' The message appears after a few seconds. I dial the anonymous number to find out who's doing this but I go directly to voice mail. What the hell?

I close my window's curtains just in case someone is indeed out there and I sit down in front of my desk for a couple of minutes. Who could possibly send me this? Maybe the same guy who send the photos to Derek. But I won't ask him today, he's already upset enough by what happened.
