Everlasting
By: Rennea Murder
Part one
You would think someone my age would have had at least one boyfriend in her life. Not this time.
Even though I am now 17 and almost out of high school and on my way to UCLA I have not once been in a relationship. It was never that I did not want to be in one, I just was busy with school to worry about boys. My best friend Kelly thought I was a lesbian in the 8th grade. That was a shocker. She eventually realized I was not a lesbian and saw that I was just to busy with school and home. After my farther left when my sister Mandy was born my mother has had her share of problems. With two jobs and 3 children to care for, she turned to the bottle. I being the oldest had to care for a seven year old and a 2 year old. Even with Kelly's occasional help things were never the same as they used to be.
My name is Juliet. Lame name that I am aware of. I was never the social girl. My crowd was always the freaks. Even though we are not freaks, we are just different. My closest friends were Tyler, Kim, and of course Kelly. We were all pretty close and inseparable. Now we were seniors and heading into different lives. I was the only one who got into a college. Leaving them would be hard but we have our ways to stay in touch. That is what friends do after all.
We were always open with each other, never secret holders. Except for me. It was never that I could not trust them, but I could not find it in myself to tell them I am a cutter.
