Setting the Scene
Morgan and the Backstory
[Reality]
The days had become unbearable. The feeling of the floor being torn out from under you while others laugh as you fall into an abyss. Having so many feelings and so much love without it really being returned anymore. What was worse was she still had to face him every day.
She was only 17, with all her life ahead of her. It sounds depressing, but she really did have the rest of her life ahead of her. It was her senior year of high school, and she swore up and down that she had found love in her best friend of 10 years. Up until he left her just about a month ago.
His leaving made her feel inadequate. She had never felt so terrible about herself in her entire life. She always had confidence in herself, and she (as well as him, too) was so full of piss and vinegar and rarely ever showed any emotion. Except to him. She had dark straight brown hair that fell down to her boobs, gray/blue/green eyes, and she was about 5'7", 115 lbs. He was a tiny bit taller than her, which she loved. She just loved everything about him.
He was gorgeous. His hair was short and brown, his face perfectly divided into three even section, like hers- "Perfect for modeling," her orthodontist told her. He wore glasses, but that only brought attention to his charming, flirty hazel eyes. He was more solid than her. He was muscular and stood strong. His smile could put you into a trance. It was anywhere from a devious, mischievous, sexy half smirk to a wide, uninhibited, laughter filled full blown smile. He was the perfect height and weight. She loved him for more than his looks; their personalities were nearly mirror imaged, and she loved every racing story he told her. Any story he had, she loved hearing. He raced a late model car, and she loved to hang around in the garage and help him with it. Whether it was working on his car, dirt bike, truck, or sled, she loved being in that garage with him. She loved spending every moment with him.
Then, because this is how life works, they began fighting a lot and things didn't work out. She started picking fights from insecurity and feeling like she wasn't good enough. He started wanting other girls. He left her. She was lost and he was fine.
He is Morgan, she is Jamie, and this is the night that she found love in Wal*mart. Because the story just keeps changing tenses anyways.
