Chapter One

June Cooper got in her car and headed over to the next town to see one of her friends who lived in Sherwood. Their parents were friends, so they were friends. June was going to meet Abby in a little restaurant for dinner. It was still light out.

June walked into the café and saw Abby at a little table. She walked up.

"Hey Abby!" She said. Abby stood up and gave her a hug.

"Hey June! I haven't seen you in forever! How have you been?" She asked. I smiled.

"Great! Even with James living here, were still going strong. I've never felt this way. I feel like he's everything I've ever wanted." June said excitedly.

She was talking about her boyfriend of 2 years, James Diamond. June and James used to be next door neighbors in the little town of Burkland. They had grown up together and were best friends. They shared secrets and always hung out.

It was Freshman year of high school and they were both 14. It was time for Homecoming. James had finally gotten the courage to tell June about his long time crush on her, which she returned. He asked her to the dance and they had been dating ever since.

Now they were 16. James' parents divorced and he was forced to go live with his mom in the next town over, Sherwood. James told her that it would all be ok, it was only a 20 minute drive. They could still date. He told her he loved her. And she believed him.

Flash forward to the present, 6 months later. June and James were still going out and happily in love.

"Wait. You're still dating James?" Abby asked confused. June nodded happily.

"Oh June. I think there's something you should know." June looked up at Abby confused.

"What?" June asked.

"Well, James goes to my school you know?" Abby asked. June nodded.

"Well, I've seen him around school with his arm around this girl Holly. She's blonde and like model thin." Abby said. June looked at her with wide eyes.

"Are you sure they're dating?" June asked, her voice cracking.

"Almost positive. I'm so sorry June." Abby said. June could feel a tear roll down her cheek. She wiped it and stood up.

"I'm going to go for a walk. I'll text you later Abby." June said. Abby nodded and June walked outside. The town was small, so after main street, anywhere you walked was residential.

June looked up, it was starting to get dark, but this was a safe town so it didn't matter. She walked down a random street. She looked around and noticed that she had never even been down this street. Sure she didn't live here, but she knew a few streets, like James' and Abby's.

She looked around and then she saw James at the house right in front of her. He noticed her too. The just looked at each other for a second. He was walking up the path to the house, but stopped and turned to June. He just stared at her, to shocked to say anything.

Then the front door opened and a girl walked out. She was blonde and thin, just like Abby said. June looked at her and her eyes widened. James really was cheating on her. She looked back to James with her eyebrows raised and furrowed. He turned slightly and took a step forward.

"No. No, no, no, no." June muttered shaking her head. James didn't say anything. June turned around ran back down the street as fast as she could. She jumped in her car and drove away as fast as possible.

James just stood there and watched her, feeling incredibly terrible. The girl he had loved his whole life had caught him, and was mostly likely out of his life.

He turned and walked back inside.

June had just got home. She went straight to her room, ignoring her parents questions. She should have known. She's so stupid. How could she have possibly believed that he actually loved her? Why would he ever love her? She's not a princess, this isn't a fairy tale. She's not the one that he is going to sweep off her feet. This isn't Hollywood with some big movie. This is a small town. He said he loved her. And she believed him.

She didn't stand a chance. One look into those brown eyes and she was lost. She was naïve. That was her first real love.

June was taken out of her thought by her phone ringing. She stood up and walked over to her phone on the desk. She glanced at the caller ID. James. She took a deep breath and answered.

"Hello?" She asked, trying to keep her voice from wavering.

"June? I am so sorry." He said sincerely. She could imagine his face of an angel on the phone. She didn't say anything.

"June, baby, all I want is you. Do you love me?" James asked. June opened her mouth, then closed it. She opened it again.

"Yes." She said.

"Will you give me another chance?" James asked. June just stood there, unable to form any words. She thought about all the times her and James spent together. And then she thought about how she felt when she saw James with 'Holly.' Here he was, begging for her back, like she had always dreamed of. But now that she had it, she wasn't so sure she wanted it.

"No." She said firmly. She hung up the phone and slid down the wall as more tears formed in her eyes. She cried, screamed, punched the wall, anything to get her anger and sadness out.

She may love James, but can't give him another chance. Who says he won't do it again?

She cried herself to sleep. When she woke up, she walked down stairs to see her parents waving goodbye to someone.

"Who was that?" June asked. Her parent turned to her and her older sister by two years, came running up and gave her a big hug and spun her around.

"We're moving!" Justine yelled

"What? Where?" June asked once Justine put her down.

"To Hollywood! That was a producer who just signed me! You and me are moving there!" She said with the biggest grin ever.

"You and me? What about mom and dad?" June asked.

"Well I'm 18, so I don't have to have a guardian, but mom and dad won't let me go alone, so you're coming with me." She said. I looked at her like she was crazy.

"Please June, you know it's my dream to be a singer. And I know that you like to write songs, I hear you all the time, our bedrooms are next to each other." June looked down. "You could write songs for me! Or just write songs for my producer. And we would be living in L.A.! Where it's warm!"

June looked at her and then grew a smile.

"I guess we're going to Hollywood!" June said. June and Justine both screamed and hugged each other. Maybe it would be good to get a fresh start.
