finish.
[You never said that you were perfect] [But you always were to me]
Jeri sat on the bed at her house. Chris had dropped her off at her house earlier that day. She had told him to; she had to work everything out with her family. Which she had tried to do. They were unreasonable and wouldn't hear her out. Chris would be back tomorrow to pick her up. Until then, she'd be stuck in her room. She wasn't going to leave there, or else she'd get yelled at more.
She looked through things at her room, wondering what to take with her once she went back out on the road with Chris. They'd be back in a month or so to get all of her stuff. She was going to move into his basement to get away from her parents. Then she found it. Her old diary from when she was thirteen, hidden behind her dresser drawers.
She pulled it out and opened it. It was never locked. The first page was dated July 7th, her birthday.
[Loving you was always worth it] ['Cause you saw so much in me]
"'My birthday party was earlier. I'm finally a teenager. It seems like I should have been a long time ago. Chris was there. He is so - beautiful. I know, that seems like a word that you use for girls. But he is. This is what he got me, a diary/journal. Finally, something to tell me thoughts to. Something that won't go out and tell everyone what I think.'" Jeri read from the diary.
"' Chris wants me to get out of this place, too. The town isn't bad; it's just the people I'm with. Mum goes around drugged up all of the time, ranting about how she needs a man. God, how it gets old. I think Chris is so perfect. He sees so much, maybe too much, potential in me. What if I don't amount to anything?'"
[And when I'm down you're there to lift me] [You come around when I need a friend]
"' He's been there for me since I was little. When dad came back and left again, Chris was there. He was my shoulder to cry on. The one who acted like he'd hold me forever. I'd almost say I love him, but that's impossible.'"
[No one loves me like you do] [Unconditional and True] [You're the shoulder I've always known] [And the hand that says I'm not alone]
Jeri sat there, and stopped reading the book for a moment. He was still like that. He still wanted her out of this hell-hole house. And he wanted her to get somewhere in life. She wasn't going to let him down. He loved her back then, too. In more of a little sister way, but she hoped that when he told her he loved her in that other way, that he meant it. She sure as hell did.
[More than myself] [I love you more than life itself]
She did love him more that life itself, it was true. If it wasn't for him, her dad would've killed her anyway. Jeri was surprised he hadn't whenever she stepped in the door, but he was passed out on the couch. Sometimes she just wanted to hug her dad though, and hope he would feel love and compassion for once. Maybe even change.
[Did you know that I get lonely] [At the thought of you not being here] [Can you see that you're the only] [One that never disappears] [And when I fear you are the comfort] [The one who steers me to the light]
She went back to reading the diary. "' Sometimes I wish I could go up to him and kiss him, but I can't. He has Leslie. They've broken up countless times because of her cheating, but he always takes her back. I hate her. Despise her. She always gives me the meanest glares.
"' If Chris wasn't around, thought, I'd go crazy. I'd probably go off the deep end. He's the only person who has ever stuck by me. He helps me whenever I'm in need. Whenever I do get ready to go off of the deep end, he makes sure I don't. And I am beyond thankful for him being here.'"
[No one loves me like you do] [Unconditional and True] [You're the shoulder I've always known] [And the hand that says I'm not alone] [More than myself] [I love you more than life itself]
Jeri was sitting there crying. The tears streaming down her face. She loved Chris so much, more than life itself, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Have secret rendezvous in the middle of the night, being able to do everything with him. Be a total romantic around him.
"Jeri! Chris is here, so get your ass gone." Her dad yelled. She looked at the clock. It was noon the next day. She had sat there and read the whole diary that night. She picked up her bags and ran to the kitchen where Chris was.
"I love you so much. Are we going back to your place?" she asked.
"Sorry, hun, but we have to get going back on the road. By the way, I love you too." He said.
"I love you more." She said.
"How much more?"
"I love you more than life itself." She said.
"Well, I love you more than that." He said, putting his arm around her waist and leading her out to the car.

Authors Note: This will probably be the end, otay? Unless someone gives me suggestions on what should happen. I guess I'm having a case of writers block. :P That's not good. So, give me ideas! I want the story to run a few chapters longer. Thanks! -Bianca, the author.
