(From Bree’s’ point of view)The other night was pretty intense between Keegan and I. I could still feel the warmth of his hand on mine. I hated that he had this hold on me, but he did and he knew it. I decided to give Jeff a real shot. He hasn’t dated another girl in my face, hasn’t ignored me or yelled at me. I had to say, Jeff was checking all of my boxes lately. Every morning I wake up to a sweet text that says something like, “Hey sweetie, I hope you have a beautiful day,” or “Just missed you.” He literally was a dream and I was letting Keegan ruin it for me. I had to do things daily to keep myself from falling into the Keegan trap again. I would start by no longer texting Jada. I mean, that’s her boyfriend and it wasn’t right anyways for me to want to check up on him through her. The next thing would be to not let him touch me, or kiss me or anything. Note to self that this task would be extremely difficult. I also would not text him or call him. If I wanted to, I would text Ca

Listening to my mom talk about her past, for really the first time ever, was exhilarating. My mom was a literal boss. She told us how she and Kyren would go to protests and stand up for the rights of others no matter who they were. She was even arrested for disrupting the peace once. When she spoke about those days and about Kyren she lit up. She talked about their fun sleepovers and how they finally fell for one another. My mom said Kyren kissed her first and it turned into a relationship from each phone call after that. She said neither of them had ever been with someone of the same sex, so they were exploring this together. It was truly romantic. “Ky and I were together back then, but she wasn’t allowed to be with me, so we kept it secret. At the end of the semester we knew we were graduating and a decision had to be made. She decided to stay with Jared for fear of her mother disowning her and I was left all alone. Before we moved back home from school, we met up one last time at

I stared at my phone for a minute and reluctantly answered. I was afraid of what he might say to me. “Hey what’s up,” I said in a breathy and aggravated tone.“Hey Brees. Do you have a minute to talk?” he asked. He sounded as if he were sad. As much as I wanted to hang up on him, I stopped myself. I would never turn anyone away that was having any type of feelings like this, so I told him that I did.I went up to my room so I could change while we talked. “What’s going on Kee?” I asked empathetically. “So I’m pretty sure my mom is seeing someone. She has had a lot of late nights out and she is on her phone constantly. I am afraid that if she is dating, my dad will go after custody of my sisters. He has already been threatening her,” Keegan said. “I know this is something I should be talking to Baylen about or a girlfriend. But Bay is always with Quinn lately, so…” “It’s not that you can’t call me about this stuff Keegan, but I think Jada would be the ideal person to call. Don’t yo

The day started off on a good note. I woke up to a sweet text from Jeff that said, “I love you my beautiful rose,” and he sent a flood of rose emojis after it. I swooned over the thought that someone actually loved me back. It was such a crazy feeling, considering I had no boyfriend last summer. He had been coming to my softball games at school and being super supportive. It was quite amazing. I picked out a plain blue shirt and some nice black pants for dinner tonight. Actually having Mrs. Kyren over would be so nice. She hadn’t come over since I saw her in our living room a few months ago, and I really just missed her. The twins were with their dad, so it would be just her and Keegan. The twins were coming on the spring break trip though, so I would catch up with them then!I helped my mom get the table set while she made a roasted chicken, glazed with rosemary butter sauce. The house smelled like Thanksgiving. I had such a warm and nostalgic feeling from when we would be at my gra

We hadn’t talked about much at all in the week leading up to Punta Cana. Keegan seemed to be avoiding myself and Baylen ever since our moms shared their relationship. I texted him the next day to check on him, but he left me “on read”. Baylen said that he texted him a thumbs-up when he asked if he was alright, but nothing since then. I hoped it wouldn’t be another awkward encounter like we have had lately. Mom yelled up the stairs for us to finish packing up the van. I had my suitcase packed and ready to go since Sunday, so I was ready. Eager to get on a plane. Flying really calmed me. Dad and Allison had already flown down a day earlier so they could spend time together. We were taking Quinn along with us however. She and Baylen have really fallen for each other and I’ve never seen him so smitten. It was a bright spot in all of this turmoil lately. Getting to the airport was pretty effortless. Mom said we were meeting the Patts family by our gate, so we stopped at Starbucks after s
