His words never rang truer in your ears
"never trust it could be lust"
But you just tried to be right
"never stop love even when you fight"
Then he was proven right and wrong
This would hurt you for so long
He tore your heart apart
Taking things away and giving you harm
Always making you alarm
You won't be the same as you used to be
If only he could see
The damage he has done
Damage to your heart
And to your head
Lets not forget the tear stains that lie on your bed.
Only had it been a few days go I was living in California. Knowing everyone there. Being so close to my friends and family there. But my mom had decided to move back here. Back to Canada, it was her home. Where I was born and lived until I was two. We moved to Cali with her mom. Her mom who'd just died six months ago. My grandma whom I was so close to. Bu t she had left me here. With just my mom. Not that my mom was a bad person or anything. I just needed someone besides her. My mom was always working. Trying to keep us good and living. There's no man in her life. I've never met my father. I'm 14 years old and I've never met him. Most think it's weird, but my mom told me why I haven't. So I find it logical.
So far Canada seems boring. I saw the school, 'Degrassi'. It's not to bad but it's nothing like my old school. I'm glad it's still summer, I have so much time so try and look around here. Maybe I'll meet someone. That would be nice. Mom has been running into old friends, with kids that go to Degrassi, she wants me to meet them. Hopefully it'll work out.

Start of real story
"Em get up here" I heard my mom yell from upstairs.
Tonight we were going to meet the 'Hogarts' and some of her other friends with kids. Meeting at some restaurant called 'The Dot'.
"Coming" I yelled back, running up the basement stairs. Wearing the new clothes I picked out when she took me shopping. Faded jean mini skirt, deep purple tank top and my white flip-flops.
"You look good" She said as she saw me. Smiling at me. "Well let's go"
We started for the car. She was going on about all the memories here in 'Degrassi' that she had, had with these friends. The ones that I was meeting. She was hoping I'd have a lot of memories here too. She was telling me about their kids, especially the boys. She always talked about boys with me. Hoping I'd take a good interest in them but not a fast one like she had done. Just a healthy one like others my age were having but I hadn't yet. I guess it was making her sad, not having a daughter like everyone else. But other things she liked about me, so maybe it evened out.
As we arrived I started getting nervous. Not knowing anyone here, made me self-conscious. My mom led me to her friends. Saying hi to everyone of them. 'Joey, Snake, Caitlin, Raylene, and so many others.'
They all introduced me to their kids.
Joey had his son 'Craig' and his daughter 'Angie'. Craig being a year older than I and Angie being a few years young about 7 years. Craig also brought his friends. 'Sean, Ashley and Ellie'.
Raylene had a son 'Jayson' but he asked me to call him 'Jay'. He had brought his friends too.
'Alex, Towers and Amy'.
All of their kids were the best of friends. So it just seemed natural for them to be my friends as well.
