Not So Different

Laura Jane is looked at as the perfect child, her mother thinks. Straight A's, perfect attendance, never got a detention, never talked back. I could go on. But the facade she puts on at school is the opposite from what really happens at home. Her mom, Rebecca, took Laura across the country. From the back hills of Kentucky, to the bright city of San Francisco, California. Little Laura has never seen such a place. Back home, believe it or not, she did some pretty reckless things. But now, she's gotta find something else that doesn't remind her so much of her father. Something dangerous. It feels good for Laura
to do something bad for once. To do something that shows people she's not the prim and proper good girl they thought she was. Although, wanting to stay in the dark isn't exactly what's going to happen.

"Because I love you. I know it sounds selfish, but if that's what I am, if that's what I have to be to keep you here--" I was cut off when he grabbed the back of my neck and pulled my lips to his.

It was like he was begging me to kiss him back.

So I did.
