Okay, so I wrote this one awhile back, and I got the idea from a prompt. Sorry if its emo and whatnot, but yeah. The Jonas Brothers aren't really featured in this, but just read.

To Whom It May Concern:
I used to think that life was perfect. Like, honestly believed that nothing would ever go wrong in my life.
My parents were married and happy with each other; Perfect.
I had a bunch of happy go lucky friends who loved me for me; Perfect.
My family was tight-nit and loving, we cared for each other and loved every minute we spent together; perfect.
But then I entered high school.
By then my parents had had a fall out and were now separated; I rarely ever saw my Dad and had become accustomed to not seeing him at church or family events anymore.
The divorce is final in October.
Around the time of my birthday.
Happy Birthday to Me.
By the time I was a freshman, my friends had either moved on from our “little group” or deserted me completely, making fun of me every chance they got.
I can remember the first time I was cussed out by a friend.
I ran home and cried; I don’t think I left me room for a couple days.
I was 14, and high school made me wanna shoot myself.
Family life sucked too; my older brother was coming home drunk or high every night, my mom went back to drinking.
She was sober for 18 yrs before the separation.
I haven’t seen my twin sister since she got drunk in May. I think she might have run away to have a baby.
How do I know this?
She sent me a letter saying she’s gonna name it “Fred,” after her 18 yr old boyfriend.
Life is hard, to tell you the truth.
You know what else is true?
Life will never be perfect.
