So I'm sitting at home waiting for Sandy to come on through and I just decided to write a journal drabble story. Maybe get into the characters heads a bit? At least how I see their inner thoughts. BTW I'll make sure to update Make It in America by tomorrow at midnight since it's been predetermined I will have no school.

First up: Jade

Hey diary… I guess it's been a while.

I checked my last entry, when Beck and I broke up. God, that was hard. But you know what diary? I think I've grown up a little, and have learned a valuable lesson.

Life goes on.

I thought it was all over when Beck and I ended. But maybe that was just what I needed. I was in a relationship for two years, from the time I was fourteen. I never really found myself. It was always Beck and I, never just me. And I never really had time to think for myself.

You know what else? Beck and I are friends now. I never thought it could happen, but when we took away the jealousy and fighting, something beautiful emerged, something that didn't require complete commitment. He was free to go on a date with Tori, and I was just as able to chase after Moose.

I think Beck needed our time apart too. Even I will admit it, our relationship was toxic, and we definitely needed a break. I was upset when it first happened, and for a few months after. I'm over it now.

And I face the future with open arms.
