My life was going a lot better than I had ever expected. I had an amazing family, a caring boyfriend, and fantastic friends. My dad couldn't hurt me anymore, and my mom was getting help. Emily and Sam were taking great care of me. Embry was my best friend and my confident. The rest of the group made sure I was safe, even after what happened to Cameryn (which probably was a reason they were so protective). Everything was more than perfect.

Life consisted of normal activities: school, hanging out, and family time. I loved my life more than I ever had. We even met a new girl, who Jacob really likes. Her name is Taya and she's Quil's step sister. She's one of the most caring girls I have ever met.

After a few months with Emily and Sam I was so close to them they were like the parents I always wanted and never had. I was never close to them before the incident, but I was so close to them afterwards.

I was finally able to speak my mind, but I was still as quiet as ever. I loved spending time with my friends, and I could finally not worry about what my dad was going to do to me if I did or said anything. Kimmy and I had sleepovers all the time. Cameryn and I drank champagne together on lonely nights, and even Taya and I started hanging out.

My best friends were the closest to me, and I would need them forever, especially with all the drama in my life.
