Chapter 1

"Kate wake up, you need to get up right now!" I rolled over trying to understand what the clock said.

"Holy crap its 7:30." I nearly fell out of bed almost knocking my mother over."

"Good to see you up" flashing me a smile. "Are you excited today's the big day miss raccoon!"
she chuckled

"yeah I only wish i had time to enjoy it. Where are my bags?" I looked in the mirror to only notice i had left my makeup on from last night and it looked like i had just been in a fight.

"You should know your dad by now you have only lived with him 19 years now, they are in your car already. want me to make you a quick breakfast?"


I knew i didn't have much time to eat but i did want and egg sandwich "Could you make me your famous egg sandwich one last time before i leave?" I could see the sadness in her eyes when I said that.

"don't you dare make me cry this early." she gave me a kiss on the forehead and headed downstairs.


I quickly ran to the bathroom and hopped in the shower. I started to think about Colorado and how many things I'm going to miss. I had never left Denver and going all the way to Virginia was going to be different. I only hoped that i would be able to enjoy myself at my new job. All i could think about was how much money it payed and soon enough i would be able to go to college.


My family had never been rich, but we weren't broke. I remember my junior year and my mom and dad sitting me down, my mother in tears telling me they could not afford to send me to college. All i could think about was all my friends heading off to college and me being stuck here.
now my cousin has offered me a job in promoting clubs In D.C. This job could be a lot of fun or a disaster.


"Kate you better hurry up of you are going to have to eat this in the car." I quickly threw on some jeans and my Avs sweatshirt. My hair was going to have to air dry.

"Man does that smell so good my stomach is making all sorts of sounds, i better chow down."

"Brian is here to say goodbye too, want me to tell him your busy?" my mom looked at me and I sighed "No I will say goodbye but i hope he doesn't think this is a proper apology."

Brian and me had been dating for 2 years after he found out I was moving to Virginia 2 weeks ago he flipped out on me and had not called me since.


"Hey... I really don't know what to say to you. I know I was wrong but you have to understand you sprung this on me and i was never prepared for it."


He had this secret weapon of puppy dog eyes that sometimes i don't even think he is trying anymore he has just gotten so good at them they come naturally.


"don't look at me like that. and do you think you could possible hold a long distance relationship, no offense Brian but you are one of those guys that needs a girl by him 24/7."

I was not going to fall for those eyes again.


"Yeah i understand, but i just want you to know that I love you and i always want to be friends and be able to call you in Virginia even if i do find someone else and you move on." before i could even object he grabbed me into his arms and gave me a huge hug and a kiss on the head.


"You have some crazy way of making me not hate you, let me get you the number... um better not tell my mom she thinks your a bad influence." He rolled his eyes and laughed a bit.


I watched him pull off and wondered if he was who I was suppose to marry. I quickly pinched my self and realized I have crazy thoughts sometimes. Before could turn around to go grab my pillows someone grabbed me form behind and lifted me up.



"There she is! bout time you woke up." My dad was a crazy morning person, he would wake up at 4 and be fine all day.


"Good morning dad, and i love you but i can't breath." He laughed and put me down, even though i was 19 to my dad i was still his little girl.

"Where is your mom, we better get going its 8:36."

"8:36?!! dad my plane leaves at 9:00!"
