My name is Destiny McGillicuddy,I'm 14 and I live in a small town in Alabama. I had long wavy golden brown hair, big almost sapphire eyes. I wasn't the skinniest girl but I wasn't fat. I definitely wasn't a beauty queen,and I never would be. That was ok with me though I didn't want to be. I loved who I was and that was good enough. I wasn't popular but I wasn't a loner. I had one best friend well I couldn't say best friend. He was my older brothers friend. But I guess he was more my friend, than his. His name was Shiloh Vader and he was awesome. He had one older brother and sister,so he was the baby. Like me,my mom had died in a boating accident when I was 4. I learned to cope thru the pain but I still wish she was still here. I was a tomboy and nobody knew what to make of me. I played softball and wake boarded in the afternoon. My dad was a rich lawyer who was at work all the time. But I didn't mind that was his way of coping. My brother McGillicuddy was in college and was finally coming back today. I waded to the front of the house and sat there. I saw Shiloh's older brother Elijah I had a mayor crush on him. But he would never notice me,even though we lived next to each other are whole lives. He waved at me excitedly and my heart stopped. He walked over and I stood up on the creaky wood. He hugged me and we said a awkward hey. I waved bye and at least tried to lean on the post but missed and landed down with a loud*thud* I really hoped he didn't see that. I stood up and sat back down, Elijah got in his huge pink truck. I wish I could be in there with him but that wasn't gonna happen. He dated girls like Molly Sanchez,who were perfect and girly. So I sat there and waited for McGillicuddy to come. I saw the familiar car drive up as McGillicuddy got out of the car. I ran to him and hugged him hard. He swung me around and messed my hair up. I finally had everything back again. This summer was gonna be great.
With McGillicuddy here everything was awesome. And even better we were watching a movie at the Vader's. This was the perfect time to show Elijah the new me. I put on a mini skirt and I felt kinda naked. So I just put on shorts instead. With pumps and a express tank top. That's how I was supposed to talk about clothes. Right like I actually cared about the name. I slipped mascara on and I was ready baby. When we got to there house,they were all sitting down. Elijah was on the couch with who?!?! Please tell me it's not who I think it is. It's, omg it's ugh........ "TIFFANY what are you doing here" I squealed,she bounced up and threw herself at me. we fell to the floor giggling and laughing. I knew I shouldn't even look at her. She broke McGillicuddy's heart, she was mentor though. She was just like me,a tomboy turned glam. My role model but when I got up. Instantly I felt guilty cuz there was McGillicuddy staring sadly at us. I bowed my head down well she walked and talked with him. I sat quietly and sadly beside Elijah when the most amazing thing happened. He put his arm around me eeeeeeeehhh. It put the rest of my body on alert. "don't be sad someone as pretty as you shouldn't cry"he whispered in my ear. Was he actually talking to me. I looked at him shocked,he stroked my face softly. Alright my suspicions were confirmed I was dreaming. When suddenly something crashed. I turned to look around to see Shiloh. And McGillicuddy and tiffany fighting!!
I rushed outside,really regretting the moment between me and Elijah being ruined. I swear if Tiffany doesn't kick his ass I will. I knew McGillicuddy would never hit a girl. But I also knew all to well that he would hit a b!tch. He had used that saying on me every time we fought. He had never considered me a girl. He always said he raised a son. I knew something he didn't know though. That Tiffany loved him. She actually loved him,and he was gonna ruin that love. Well here's the story,tiffany and McGillicuddy were high school sweethearts. And on grad day he asked her to marry him. But she said no, and she left the next day. I didn't know much else. It was a topic I'd rather not discuss with him Preferably cuz I liked living. I saw him about to swing. And I had felt his punch before,it was like a baseball bat swinging full force at you. "help please help"I screamed like I was being killed. I knew it was the only way to grab his attention. He turned around wildly looking for the trouble. "McGillicuddy don't you dare hit her"I screamed scolding him. He looked at me shocked his mouth open. He was usually yelling at me. I got in front of her,I knew that wouldn't stop him from swinging. But I was used to his punches. But he wasn't used to mine,I packed a pretty good punch. I turned to her sadly"can you please go home"I said. She nodded tears pouring down her face. McGillicuddy sat down and ran his hands thru his hair. I sat beside him,I didn't dare touch him though. Surprisingly he got up and shook violently. We went inside and gleefully, Elijah sat beside me agian!! He slid his toasty arm around my shoulders. My heart pounded painfully in my ears. People all around the world could probably hear it. I didn't want to lay my head on his shoulder though. In fear that he'd realize what he was doing. And the last thing I wanted was him freaking out and pushing me away. But no he kept it there whispering in my ear the whole movie. I couldn't help but hope that he was flirting. Finally the movie was over, Elijah got up and actually grabbed my hand. "look your amazing, and I know your good friends with... So can you hook us up" My heart shattered into a million pieces he wanted..................
