× "you're beautiful, just the way you are." ×
My cheeks were naturally rosie and light freckles danced across them. My medium brown hair now had a purple tint to it due to the dye i added two days ago.
I quickly added dotted a little red lipstick over my lips to make them have a little more color.
Fully satisfied I wander over to my bed to shrug on my cardigan and sling my back over my shoulder. I make my way out of my room, shutting the door behind me.
Once downstairs I see my mother all over the kitchen. She loves to create a decent spread for us in the morning. She's a firm believer in "breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
"This all looks great, Mama." I tell her grabbing some chocolate chip waffles, eggs and a couple pieces of bacon.
"Yeah, Mom. It's great."
"You always outdo yourself, honey. I the last batch of waffles before joining us.
"Y'all are some serious ass kissers."

After breakfast was done, me and my brother, Nic, say our goodbyes and I loves you's.
I grab my keys from the hook by the door and make way to my car.
I have a dark blue Jeep compass I've been saving up for since I was 14. I knew I wanted my own car and for that car to be what I wanted.
So when I turned 18 a friend if my dad's got one on his lot and told me I could have it. But I was a little short on the amount I needed so my parents pitched in the rest.
This is the best gift I've ever received.
I slip into the driver seat and my brother slips into the passenger seat. I set my bag down by my brothers feet and stick my key into the ignition.
My blue beauty roars to life and I slowly back out of the drive way. I turn down the street and head towards the high school.
I stop at the next stop sign and just as I'm about to pull out after looking both ways, a black limo speeds by in front of me.
I slam on the brakes, jolting me and Nic forward. I blare the horn at the limo before turning to my brother.
"Are you okay?" I ask him checking for any sign of injuries.
"I'm fine, Bee." He replies giving me a reassuring smile and adjusts his seat belt. "Promise."
I give him a slight nod before continuing on our way.
Little did I know my mark got a little bit darker.
