1Everything changes. All the time whether we know it or not. Some changes are subtle and insignificant. Then again some changes are abrupt and life altering. A lot of these significant changes are made through out life. Some are good changes, some not so much. Some of the not so good choices are made when you're in your teenage years. Some people ask why. It's very simple. You can try to make it complex, but really it isn't. If you analyze things too much you're drifting farther and farther away from the plain, simple point. There are really only two reasons teenager tend to make mistakes. First of all there's a short attention span, so most things are thought through very well. Those that do think things through eventually meet up with reason number two, hormones. Any way around it there is seldom a good outcome. This was one of those cases. This particular girl was into her studies, and did everything she could to not get in trouble. That was until she met a boy. Sure she'd liked other boys before, but this one was different. This wan was bad. And for whatever reason, against her better judgement she liked that he was bad. Some say that she just wanted to try something new. But maybe it wasn't that at all. Maybe she was just a little tired of being perfect. Perfection is boring... simply put it sucks. And that was what led to the downfall of Julie Meyer.

It began slowly, but the ball really got rolling one night after school. Susan arrives home after her date. She flips on the light, and finds her perfect, angel of a daughter making out with the devil. Maybe devil was a little bit strong, but the boy was no where near an angel. He was not good news. Anyone related to Edie Brit was bound to be trouble. Anyway, as Susan flips on the light, and her daughter sees her she jumps off the couch as fast as she can.

"Julie what are you doing?" Susan quizzes in an accusatory tone.

"Nothing," she frowns knowing that she's busted.

"Austin please leave, I need to talk to my daughter,"

"Why does he have to leave?"

"You were making out on my couch, you're not the one that gets to ask the questions,"

"I don't understand why he has to leave. I mean you're just going to give me a lecture, that I've heard a thousand times,"

"What lecture would that be?"

"The no sex lecture, which would snowball into the if you do have sex use protection lecture. I don't know why you even waste your breath. I mean it's not like you take your own advice," she raises her voice.

"Julie! That's not fair,"

"Lots of things aren't fair,"

"Austin please leave," Susan begs.

"If you want him to leave I'll go with him," she says as she moves toward the door.

"Julie!"

Julie runs out the door and hops on the back of Austin's bike. As he turns the bike on Susan yells at Julie.

"I forbid you to leave with him!"

"Try and stop me," she laughs as she zooms off.

After a few minutes they stop at a gas station to get gas. As he fills it up he stares at her.

"What?"

"Where do you want to go?" he asks her.

"Anywhere,"

"You sure?"

"Yeah,"

"Ok," he agrees as he grabs the receipt.

After about an hour they come up to a cabin. They park a few feet away from the porch, and he jumps off. He grabs her hand.

"Come on," he suggests.

She follows him inside. He flicks on a light, and motions for her to sit down on a chair in the kitchen.

"So there are pajamas in the closet next to the bathroom,"

"Ok?"

"So if you want to take a shower, or whatever go ahead. I'll take you back in the morning,"

"I don't really want to take a shower, and go to bed,"

"I thought you just came with me to make your mom mad,"

"I did,"

"I mean I understand wanting to tick her off,"

"If I'm going to make her mad I might as well give her a good reason to be mad. I mean other than me running away to some cabin with a boy, and just going to sleep as soon as I get there,"

"You could watch T.V."

"Oh wow, that would make her being angry worth it,"

"So what do you want to do?"

"I don't just want to do nothing,"

"So you want to do something?"

"That's the opposite of doing nothing isn't it?"

"Yeah,"

"As long as your mom's pissed at you do you want something to drink?" He questions her as he pulls open the door of a mini-fridge.

"Why not?"

"Pick your poison," he tells her as he shows her the selection.

"Tequila,"

"You sure? Tequila's a little bit strong for someone who's never drank before,"

"Who said that I've never drank before,"

He stares at her with an unconvinced look.

"Ok, I haven't but, I might as well go all out,"

"Ok," he agrees.

"So whose place is this any way?"

"It's Edie's, but she never comes here anymore,"

"How do you know about it?"

"We used to come out here all the time when I was younger,"

"Why?"

"Edie used to take Colin and I out here to go fishing, and cookout,"

"Colin? Should I know who that is?"

"Oh you don't know,"

"Know about what?"

"About Colin,"

"I just said that,"

"Colin is Edie's son,"

"I didn't know that she had a son,"

"Most people don't,"

"So what does that have to do with her not coming out here anymore?"

"Colin's dad took Colin the last time he was here. Edie didn't want Colin to see his dad. Then his dad went to a judge and took him from her. She wasn't always like she is now,"

"How long ago was this?"

"A long time. I was like five,"

"Oh," Julie sighs as she takes a shot of Tequila.

The following morning Julie wakes up because there is a sunbeam shining directly in her eye. She looks around and sees Austin next to her in bed. She grabs a shirt she finds on the floor and puts it on. As she tip toes out of the room, on her way to the kitchen she finds their clothes strung out all over the cabin. Just as she goes into the kitchen to get an aspirin she realizes someone is standing over her. She slowly turns around.

"You scared the crap out of me," she shrieks.

"Who did you think it was? The boogie monster? There isn't anyone else out here,"

"I know..."

"What are you looking for anyway?"

"An aspirin,"

"Why?" Austin raises an eyebrow.

"I think I have a hang over,"

"You're going to need something a little stronger than aspirin,"

He reaches in the fridge and pulls some vial looking concoction out.

"He drink this," he instructs her.

"What's in it?"

"I have no idea,"

"I can't drink this,"

"It's fine. It's for hang overs,"

"Why don't you know what's in it?"

"Because I didn't make it,"

"Who did?"

"Edie,"

Julie reluctantly gulps the substance down. She makes a face of disgust, and then turns towards Austin.

"What?" he asks her.

"Nothing," she replies with a naughty look on her face.

"Seriously what?"

"Nothing I was just thinking that I was going to go take a shower,"

"Oh," he raises an eyebrow.
