My name is Juliet. I live in a small town, in a small house and have a small family. But I want everything big. I want to live in a big city, live in a big house, with dozens of guest rooms and a big backyard with a patio, and I want a big family.
I guess what I really want is a big career. I'm a singer. I perform all over town, which is not that big, remember.
Mama says I need to calm down and be more grateful for what I have. And I am grateful. I love my town, the home I was raised in and my little family. I guess I'm just a dreamer, and often enough it comes out wrong... I should know better.
<><><><><><><>
My name is Josh. I work the company my dad planned to give me when I turn 21. He's in the slammer again. I just need to prove I can handle it.
My mama died when I was six. I turn eighteen next month.
I live in a small world. There's my little sister, my dad and me. Oh, and we have a dog and a horse. My sister is the only one who rides Pirate.
I can't say much else, I'm pretty average. Some of those in this town just want to get out, but I want to stay here. I'm happy where I am.
<><><><><><><><>
Juliet just wants out while Josh is tied down. And while they are crazy for each other, sometimes back stories are erased as we write our futures.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete

Boarding School
When Sammy's parents got divorced, she didn't mind at all, because she knew that they weren't meant to be together, and if they weren't happy with each other, then they don't have to stay together for her sake. She lived with her mom, and her dad visited regularly, when he could get away from his work; running a top class private boarding school. Her mom turns on her when her favourite person leaves town, and her life slowly starts losing meaning, and she can't think of anything that makes her happy, except being with her best friend. Then, she goes too... With nothing making her happy in her small town, she makes a life-changing decision, that she thinks will benifit her, and make her life all that she wanted. Or, it could go very wrong and be worse than staying where she is. "Dad, I want to live with you" I told him over the phone, in tears. Nothing new there. "Samantha, you know I'd love you too, but there isn't any school around this area, remember? My school is in the countryside, with nothing within a short driving dinstance" he all but rejected me. "Then can I move schools? Attend your boarding school?" He was silent, then let out a long sigh of defeat. "I'll enroll you now. Pack your things, I'll send a car in the morning for you." That was all I needed to hear, and I was thrilled. Without making noise, I danced around my room and repeatedly thanked him. Later that night, after the usual abuse, I silently packed my things when she was passed out. I hurried in doing it, and stored them at the back of my closet so she couldn't see them when she checked up on me. You're doing it, Sammy. You're finally getting out of here; away from all the bitchy girls, your mom, and old memories with Fletcher. I'm proud of you, girl...Complete
