Everything Changes|Chapter 1|

A new story! Yes, I will continue to write my other one.But I felt like I needed a new one even though I haven't written much on my other one.But that will change.I've recently started getting very busy with studying and softball, so I won't be posting a new story on a daily basis.Maybe 3 times a week, if that.So just be patient and I hope you enjoy this first chapter of my new story :]



Jessica had everything: A loving family, a gorgeous, adoring boyfriend, Steven.But it one split second, a tragedy happens and it leaves her with nothing.Forcing herself to break up with her boyfriend, who's been her bestfriend ever since they were little kids.Just when she thinks she'll never find love again, she meets Aaron.She finds him very attractive at first, but then she finds out he has an amazing personality aswell.Aaron's brother, Josh, is attracted to her and she can't help but feel the same.Stuck in a love triangle, she will have to choose, even if it means breaking someones heart.




7:09 A.M.

I wake up this morning to a thin blanket of white covering our front lawn.It isn't ever an inch, but in this part of Oregon a slight dusting brings everything to a standstill as the one snow snowplow in the county gets busy clearing the roads.It is wet water that drops from the sky-and drops and drops and drops-not the frozen kind.

It is enough snow to cancel school.My little brother, Tommy, lets out a war whoop when Mom's AM radio announces the closures."Snow day!" he yells. "Dad let's go make a snowman."

My dad smiles and taps on his pipe.He starting smoking one recently as part of this whole 1950's, Father Knows Best retro kink he is on.He also wears bow ties.I like the smell of the pipe tobacco. It is sweet and smoky, and reminds me of winters and woodstoves.

"You can try," Dad tells Tommy."But it's hardly sticking to the roads.Maybe you should consider a snow amoeba."

I can tell Dad is happy.Barely an inch of snow means that all the schools in the county are closed, including my highschool and the middle school where Dad works, so it's an unexpected day off for him, too.My mother, who works for a travel agent in town, clicks off the radio and pours herself a second cup of coffee. "Well, if you guys are playing hooky today, no way I'm going to work.It's simply not right." She picks up the telephone to call in.When she's done she looks at us. "Should I make breakfast?"

Dad and I laugh at the same time.Mom makes cereal and toast.Dad's the cook in the family.

Pretending not to hear us, she reaches into the cabinet for a box of Bisquick. "Please.How hard can it be? Who wants pancakes?"

"I do! I do!" Tommy yells. "Can we have chocolate chips on them?"
"I don't see why not," Mom replies.
"Woo hoo!" Tommy yelps, waving his arms in the air.

"You have far too much energy for this early in the morning." I tease.I turn to Mom. "Maybe you shouldn't let Tommy drink so much coffee."
"I've switched him to decaf," Mom says back. "He's just naturally exuberant."
"As long as your not switching me to decaf," I say.
"That would be child abuse." Dad says.

Mom hands me a steaming mug and the newspaper.
"There's a nice picture of your young man in there," she says.
"Really? A picture?" I say.
"Yep.It's about the most we've seen of him since summer," Mom says, giving me a sidelong glance with her eyebrow arched, her version of a soulsearching stare.

"I know," I say, and then without meaning to, I sigh.Steven's band, Shooting Star, is on an upward spiral, which is a great thing---mostly.

"Ah, fame, wasted on the youth," Dad says, but he's smiling.I know he's excited for Steven.Proud even.
