Chapter 1

I detest 'love lyrics.' I think one of the causes of bad mental health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love lyrics." - Frank Zappa

You see that quote?

Yes that one. That was the quote of my life for a long time.

Well before I met him... But I am getting ahead of myself.

"VANESSA for the last time wake up!" My foster mother yells at me.

I open my eyes and all my hair is in my face.

"I'm up woman. Stop yelling at me!"I yell at her back as she leaves my room.

I walk into my bathroom and shower. I get out and wrap a towel around my body.

I stand in front of the mirror and looked at my self.

My curly brown hair goes down to my lower back. My big hazel eyes have make up form last night still clinging to them.

I brush my teeth and go to my room, I get to my closet and find a pair of gray skinny jeans.

Walking around in my bra and jeans looking for my white 30 seconds to mars shirt, my brother walks in.

"What the hell Tyler!" I yell at him. I don't even try to cover up.

My brother was somehow blessed with the straight flaw-less brown hair. He has green eyes and is a bout 6'1. He is the jock of the school. But hes not cocky. I made suer that he does not have the ' I'm-king-of-the-school-so-bow-down-to-me' kinda attitude.

"Well stop walking around in just you bra and pants then Nessa." He say as I find my shirt. He walks over and sits on my bed.

My brother and I are close. We have gone through so much together. Our parents death and having a woman come move into our house and treat us like crap.

"Are you ready?"Tyler asks looking through my iTouch.

"Let me do my make-up." I tell him as I grab my eye liner. I quickly just do a thick black line around my eyes. I grab my back pack and my brother.

We go down to the kitchen and and I grab a apple and we run out the door before Maria can come and find a reason to yell at us.

We get to my car and and speed like hell down the street. Tyler turns on my radio. Tokio Hotel comes blaring on.

"I cant believe you like them!" Tyler says as he turns it down. I slap him upside the head.

"When you are in my car, you do not insult my music." I say as we pull into the parking lot of school.

"Bryan will take me home after practice tonight. So I'll see you at home." He says and jumps out the car.

I take a deep breath and get out of the car. I lean back and grab my hoddie. I stand up and see a black Toyota pull up. I did not keep looking to see who got out. I lock up my car and start walking to where my friends and I usually sit.

"Hey guys." I mumble and sit down on the ground next to Jay.

"Whats up?" Jay asks me. Jay has been my best friend for about 4 years. He is tall and has long blond hair. His gray eyes pierce my hazel ones. Hes reading me like a book. I throw my hoodie at him.

"Stop reading me. Its just Maria is getting worse and worse." I say looking around at everyone.

"Well don't worry this weekend well be going to my parents cabin this weekend"says Jennifer.

Right as Jennifer says that this guy I've never seen before walks up and sits down next to me.

"Hey Nate."They all say. I look this guy over.

He has long black hair that covers his golden eyes.

"You must be Vanessa. I'm Jennifer's cousin. Nice to meet you!' He says with a deep voice with sexiness laced all through it.

Now if I had not already been through this. I stand up and grab my jacket from Jay and head over to my locker.

The last thing I mutter before I left my group is: " I hate beautiful guys."
