Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8
Sunday Night, you had spend the past three hours staring at your keyboard. You bit your lip as you let yourself become deep in thought. You've successfully managed to ignore the world for the past 48 hours.
You've completed all your other assessments during the weekend, finding it a good stress relief and an excellent distraction. You turned your phone off too, not wanting to even glance at it. Zack had tried to contact you a few times but you got your parents to say you were busy and didn't want to see him this weekend. They had asked if you were okay and you said you were fine, blaming it on stress for all your school work.
You began to softly tap your bed spread, humming to yourself until you feel into a soft sweet tune. You smiled to yourself sadly as you began to hum louder, finding words naturally beginning to flow along with the harmony. You grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and began writing down music notes followed by a few lyrics.
Once you were finished you placed your fingers along your keyboard and began to play.
~*~*~*~*
The following school day had felt like a huge blur. You were physically present but emotionally vacant. You had spent the entire weekend bawling your eyes out, eating ice cream, doing your homework and assessments before crying all over again. The cycle repeated.
Once English class came about your attitude had lifted slightly. Once the school bell had rung you were once again the last student left after all the others rushed out.
''About the assignment...'' The teacher glanced up at you from her desk and frowned slightly.
''I asked for a poem... you turned in a song'' You frowned at hearing her unhappiness through her tone.
''I know. I just really wanted to do my own thing'' That was the best you could respond with.
''Your own thing was also late'' The teacher continued to reprimand you. You glanced down to the ground in shame and stared at your sneakers.
You turned to walk away.
''But it was emotional, raw... and those are the marks of a true artist'' You stopped at hearing these words. You slowly turned back around.
''I hope when the time comes, you will allow me to write you a college recommendation'' You smiled at this and nodded your head in gratitude.
''Thank you''
''In the meantime, whoever you wrote those words for, you should tell him, or her, both being equally valid choices'' The teacher laughed slightly while you smiled back slightly.
''I will''
~*~*~*~*
Rose goes in glass vases, perfect bodies, perfect faces, They all belong in magazines...
You approached Zack who was currently sitting on the grassy field eating his lunch. You sat down beside him and tried to smile up at him. He smiled back and nudged your shoulder slightly with his causing you to let out a genuine laugh.
''Look who finally came out of her shell'' You blushed at his comment and playfully hit him back causing him to fall over.
''Okay oww, rude'' He responds in laughter as he sits back up again. The both of you laugh for a few more moments before turning to face straight ahead over towards the outside cafeteria. You noticed Brittany sitting on her own, scrolling through her phone. You watched as a guy approached her, talking to her but she flat out ignored him.
She pushed him away in a bored manner before grabbing her stuff and leaving.
''Now the question is, how are you going to fix this?'' Zack asked a perfectly excellent question. You had no idea how to even go about it. She hated your guts and she had every reason too, she believed you sent the video. You just needed to prove you weren't the only one who knew about it.
Those girls the boys are chasing, winning all the games they're playing, They're always in a different league...
It was now Wednesday, five days since you've spoken to either Brittany or Peter. Your hands were still itching to send him a message. You did straight after the game on friday night but haven't heard a response back since, not like you were expecting one or anything. You couldn't blame him if he deleted your contact all together.
The thought played with your heart strings.
You were going to tackle one issue at a time, the first being Brittany. You needed her back. You had missed your friendship with her and craved nothing more than for everything to go back to the way they were.
Stretching toward the sky like I don't care, wishing you could see me standing there...
You sighed once you sent through the audio file, closing your phone straight after. You weren't sure how you were going to fix this but you were going to try, starting with this. You began doing some background searching on both her friends by using the common method, instagram. You stalked and stalked until you gathered up enough proof.
Her closest friend had been stabbing her in the back for years, she's always wanted the spotlight but was jealous of Brittany. There's been multiple times where they've fought over this but still remained friends. You used your hacking skills and were able to trace the log in on the night back to a certain phone, her best friends phone. With this you took a photo and saved it as well, making sure you had two copies.
That Thursday morning you walked into school with your head held high. You walked past Peter and his group of friends without sparing them a glance. You walked straight towards Brittany and she turned around to face you once the alleged best friend stopped talking to scowl at you.
''Don't you have some other popular people to stalk or something?'' You ignored her and turned straight to Brittany.
''Brittany, it wasn't me'' You hadn't really planned on how you were going to tell her, especially with an audience.
Brittany just glanced at you then down towards the ground before her friend chimed in.
''Yeah, like we believe that'' It was you turn to send a glare her way. You were sick of this and have had enough.
''Oh shut your trap horse face'' This was the first time you have ever insulted someone. Your voice had risen, catching the rest of the hallways occupants attention. Brittany just glanced up in surprise as Emily, her friend, advances towards you with a gnarly scowl.
''What did you just say to me?'' She threatened, looking like she could bury you 6 feet under.
''You're intellectually impaired, not deaf'' Her eyes narrowed into slits as she stepped closer, Brittany immediately stopping her from doing anything.
You were well aware of the scene you were causing but couldn't care less at the moment.
''Can I speak with you please? Privately?'' You had wanted to get away from Emily as soon as possible, the girl was undeniably the biggest bitch you had ever met. Brittany just slowly nodded her head and began to walk away, expecting you to follow. You glanced around the hallway and caught eyes with Peter. Your breathing hitched inside your throat as your heart began to race.
With one last fleeting glance you turned around and followed Brittany out of the hallway and into a nearby empty classroom.
"Look you have to believe me, I didn't post that photo I swear" you begged, looking straight into her eyes to see if she believed you or not.
"How can I? You were the only one who knew!" She whisper yelled back, realising we weren't alone in the bathroom. You glanced around and saw a girl walk out, wash her hands then swiftly leave but not before giving the both of you are a look.
"Maybe I wasn't" you reasoned, knowing one of her tweedle dees were bound to do something like this. It was typical.
"Yeah? Like who" of course she was going to put you in the spotlight like this.
"Your supposedly 'best friend', come on, she's had it out for you since freshman year-"
"You honestly expect me to believe my best friend did this to me? She had no motive when you did, she had always been there for me and I have known her for years I've known you for half" you wanted to roll your eyes but you refrained from doing so.
You both had fallen silent.
Not only was this not being fixed anytime soon, so was the relationship between you and Peter. He had made it quite clear he had never wanted to hear from either of you again. You weren't sure what you were going to do.
Your eyes opened wide in realisation and you began to smile, facing Brittany.
"What?" She asked rather annoyed.
"Let me do something, please" she thought about this for a while and soon began to nod her head. You smiled even more.
Now you had hoped with this idea, you could save not only one relationship, but two.

A/N: we are nearing the end guys!!

Moving Mountains
This mama let loose this weekend and after fighting so many different emotions I had ranging from excitement to anxiety over what I was going to wear I am going to admit something- it was one of the most rewarding and fun nights that I’ve had in a really long time and so different then the bar nights I’ve had in the past, you know-before becoming a “wife” a “mom” and a “boss” before responsibilities and excuses -I feel like those three words have defined my very existence this past 7 years (which Ironically as I am writing this, is my 7 year anniversary being married) I mean let’s go back exactly 7 years today -I got Married and within 24 hours I was in early labour and days later Colton was born- 6 weeks early, but absolutely perfect and within a week of one another I not only became a wife, but I became a mother and to say I was not prepared was an understatement –I got used to having everyday with him, you spend every second of those 12 months off work catering to that child’s every need (just as you do becoming a wife, I think they call it the honeymoon stage) but when you’re a mom, your life becomes about changing diapers, freezing breast milk, rocking them to sleep (night after night), Multiple loads of laundry daily and if you’re lucky you get about 4 hours of broken sleep a night while your significant other sleeps soundly beside because you’ve been up nursing your baby back to sleep…(for the third time) But with that being said, it is one of the most amazing experiences and I am grateful for it. But at some point, life shifts- suddenly that 12 months is over, many of us forced back to work, our kids go to daycare for someone else to take care of and then you find yourself in this cycle where everything and everyone is on your plate, but you!
You don’t even realize the sacrifices you make –
I don’t know about you mama’s but I LOVE my kid – like over the moon, to the ends of the earth (watch him while he sleeps) I would do anything for him kind of love and I have never experienced that kind of “obsession” over someone before – but let me tell you that love is real, I mean how could it not be I carried the kid for 7 months- we went through hell together, we bonded for 12 months, 24 hours a day …for 365 days and then my time became limited with him and someone else got it – I want to selfishly spend every second with him I can- its totally unhealthy, I know-but a reality for me. I am a mom with anxiety, a mom who almost lost her baby, who cannot have another baby, and to be honest I kind of just wing it and now I am just a mom who never feels like she is doing enough – the pressure is as a real as the love is– obsessive. So when I tell you I went out, without guilt for the first time in probably 7 years you have to believe me when I say it was kind of a big deal- This mama took shots!....
I have never really been a drinker, (and for those who have seen it, thankfully don’t have video proof lol) but I can remember in my 20’s I was never really into the whole bar scene, I had more guy friends then girl friends and spent more time playing pool and poker, because the guys I hung out with never really wanted to go out and “shake it” the same way girls do, I was just never one of those girls who grew up with a huge group of “girl” friends (I maybe had 2) and it wasn’t until my 20s that it started to change, but by then Matt and I were in a serious relationship and bar nights were becoming none existent without one another attached at the hip, but I think that is common– couples don’t do things separately, because it isn’t normalized – and I think as we get older the idea of actually going out to the bar sounds unrealistic and exhausting – I mean, we are too old for that shit right? The bars are full of 20 something year old’s who really only want to get drunk and go home with one another and to be honest the idea of having to stay up past 9pm on a Friday night is what sounds exhausting, and are you going to have fun if you don’t drink like you did in your 20s? and if you do, remember how much hangovers in your 20s sucked, think about how much worse they are now at 32 – so we don’t, we talk ourselves into staying in and we settle for wine tasting on our couches or pints at the local restaurant while we over eat and feel shitty after about 30 minutes of being there, when all we really want to do (and maybe I only speak for myself as an overworked wife and mama and boss) is to get out and let loose – without responsibilities!
A couple months ago my life changed, the table flipped and admittedly I was in a really bad place, I knew that the one thing I needed to keep in my life was fitness – whether it was weights or Zumba, so I joined Planet Fitness and I have to tell you how much I fell in love with the people (the members and the staff) – how comfortable they always made me feel, how clean it was- and well managed- it feels like home! But I want to talk about a few people specifically – the first person I met when I joined was this beautiful soul named Shanice (aka Sunshine/Baddie 1) she is the face I see every morning when I walk in after dropping Colton off at school –she is sweet and genuine-with a heart as big as the sun, she has such an old soul that I could listen to her tell me stories all day long, she has become apart of my mornings and it feels so weird to not see her – she’s all smiles, all the time and it’s contagious!
Then we have Jenny, oh sweet, funny Jenny (AKA, The GM lol, Baddie #1 lol) – just badass… you can jut say it like it is and she GETS it -all of it, there are so many similarities in our lives that I feel like I can tell her anything and she won’t judge me. I cannot even put into words how much she has contributed to the personal growth I have had or if she even knows how much she means to me!! What she thought was the littlest thing meant the world to me- for those who know me, know how much I love to dance, Zumba owns my heart and when I left my job I left any opportunity to dance – Jenny went out of her way to have the furniture moved around at the gym for me to dance so that I didn’t have to miss a beat – and she has talked me off some pretty tall ledges.
– and then Andrea (Baddie 3), I stalked her on Instagram for months before we finally got to meet (as every great relationship starts, right?) – it was one of those right places, right time kind of things where I fan girl’d a little, and when I realized how down to earth she is, we instantly clicked- she inspires me everyday to get moving to follow my heart– she is not just fitness goals she is life goals- she’s an entrepreneur, smart as hell and always in my corner-you can’t fake her kind of genuine.
How lucky am I that when I am at my worst I meet 3 powerful women with 3 powerful personalities and powerful stories that in return has made me feel powerful- I truly believe that your tribe will dictate how you view your days, how you set out to conquer your goals, how you own your mistakes, – the amount of laughs that have come from being around these 3 outweigh the universe – I can almost guarantee you that these girls have changed my life- and not that I didn’t have the support of some incredible women up until meeting them, My best friend, Kayla means the world to me, she has been my compass for the past 3 years, our boys met in Jr Kindergarten, they happen to be 5 days apart and best friends themselves–Kay is the girl (and I say girl not friend, because she would give the shirt off her back to a total stranger) but anyways she is the girl that would pick up the phone at 3am when you just cant sleep and need to talk or offer to sleep over when your husband is off working nights and you feel a little lonely – I could not do life without her, she has that whole beauty and brains thing going, sassy and incredibly confident in what she brings to the table - she actually made me realize (as she has said many times before) that a soul mate does not need to be a “relationship” – it can be the people that you surround yourself with on daily basis that fuel your fire- that make you feel that along side your tribe, you can climb any mountain- Kayla has been climbing them for years and the difference here is that her girl tribe is fierce and in return she is fierce, I envied that- I wanted that!
Imagine that though, women supporting women without expecting anything in return. These 4 women, among my mama, sister and mother in law (and many other strong ass women) have been without a doubt the most supportive people I’ve had in my life right from the day I’ve met them and supportive all for different reasons, but this week specifically I needed a night out and these girls delivered on a silver platter, short of dancing for 3 hours straight, friday night was about us girls it was about empowerment and letting loose and being the mama’s that we all are we had to adjust to not putting our babies to bed, or being in bed ourselves- we allowed ourselves to be “selfish” for one night and let me tell you, it was kind of badass Lol – and sweet little Shanice, wasn’t sweet little Shanice when bootylicious came on and Jenny needed to block baby gap from sneaking a peek! It wasn’t about going out and getting “lit” – it was just straight up fun and even though I wear a few different crowns I am still allowed to have a little fun without feeling guilty or like I am abandoning my job post and honestly what better day to do that then on International Women’s Day – where not only where we VIP but treated incredible by the staff, why you ask because we happen to know another badass woman whose son owned the bar, so let me tell you again how empowering that was – and completely the right women to spend my first “girls” night out in years with. I met these girls (and Miss Alexis Martha (baddie 4)) for a reason- my last post I mentioned that I always felt like I was putting this 1000-piece puzzle together and I am realizing now that they have been such a huge piece of it – of my healing… my personal growth, my strength … And suddenly these past few months I have felt like I am more then just a wife, mom or boss- I feel human and as important as everyone else is and what they have made me realize is that I can still be the best wife, mom and boss and still be a baddie (lol)
I am not saying that you should grab your closest girlfriends and spend every Friday night at the closest bar what I am saying is exactly what Kay has taught me, your soul mate doesn’t have to be a man – it can be your girl tribe- whether it’s a wine tasting on your couch, a slumber party, a movie or just Appys and sangria make the time! – go out and enjoy every second of it- it isn’t selfish to do things that make you happy with people who set your soul on fire- surround yourself with it, because in the end you will move mountains too!
