The Summer Before (JJ Maybank)

"Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than to hurt yourself trying to put them back together."

Hi, my name is Joyce Tessa Cameron, but you can call me Joy. I was born in The Outer Banks of North Carolina, and lived there for most of my life. Now I'm sure you're wondering why in the world I would move from "The Outer Banks, Paradise on Earth" to the small town of Stonington, Maine. Well, get comfortable, because it's a long story.

And it all started the summer before I moved here, the summer before my second sophomore year, the summer when my world turned completely upside down.
