Hello, my name is Alexis. I am 15 years old. This is my diary, I guess you could call it. Umm, its some stupid thing my brother gave me, to like treasure memories. But he doesn't know what he is talking about, he sent it to me, his in the military, his name is Francis. He's 28, when 9/11 happened, he was 19 going to school up in Boston, he wanted to be a lawyer, he was going to be a lawyer. Then two planes hit the trade center, and that hit Francis hard. He dropped everything, and mean everything, from his straight A's to his super-model girlfriend. I cried when I found out he was joining the military. I mean I was only 7 and lived with my mom at the time in Seattle, but still, my brother going away, and I couldn't visit him. I looked up to him, when he had his going away party, his girlfriend didn't come. I didn't go either. It was to sad. I just bawled. Well anyway, he sent this to me and asked me if I kept a diary, and he said like a hundred years from now people would love to hear my story. So I told him, that I would do it, so I could be like Ann Frank. He told me so when your dead you could be famous? I said sure. And that was that.

I do have another brother, his name is David. He's 18. That's about it about him. He covers for me when I sneak out to go and see Jacob. Jacob is my boyfriend, but my dad hates him, and I mean HATES him! My dad would much rather me go out with some straight A football player. One word BORING! Jacob has blackish brownish hair, he's tan, 6'1, he kinda looks like that werewolf in that Twilight movie. But he doesn't go walking around with no shirt on. Or is that in the 2nd one? Don't know, don't care. His 15 too, so sadly he can't drive.

My parents, well my parents are divorced. My mom lives in Seattle, and my dad lives here in Springfield, Michigan. They got divorced when I was about 3, and my mom got custody. Well, my mom got remarried to this guy, Shawn, I didn't like him, and he didn't like me. So he didn't talk to me, and that kind of pissed me off. So I moved in with my dad, and David already lived with dad so, I think you can figure out the rest.
