Shane's phone buzzed as his mom handed him a glass of water. He picked it up and saw that Kennedy had text him. As he read the text, he smiled. She seemed so excited about this dress that she had bought. Her enthusiasm was refreshing and adorable to him. He liked the way she smiled and became excited about the little things in life. Earlier in the week he'd sent her a picture message of a flower he'd found on his way to her house. When he'd gotten there, she'd kissed him over and over, exclaiming that she'd loved the flower. He never thought it would make her that happy. He just thought it was pretty, like her.

          "Is that a text from Kennedy?" asked his mom, trying to sneak a peak at his phone.

          "Yeah. She got a light soft yellow dress. She said she'd send me a picture of the color when she gets home so I can go get a shirt and tie," replied Shane, exiting out of the message.

          "You should get a shirt in light yellow and then a black tie! Oh! Get her a corsage too! Girls love flowers!" she exclaimed, smiling fondly.

          "Where do I get one of those? This isn't exactly prom.

Author guidance for This story

Alright, this story is very special to me. I had to sift through some stuff to find ideas to throw in here. So I'll tell you where I got the ideas.

Switching POV - So switching between point of views is different than what I've ever done. I did it in Flirting With Death [FWD] and that turned out sort of great. But while I was writing that, I was reading "(Re)Learning To Fly One Day At A Time" by rorynickel. So I owe this idea to Rory.

The Breakup Scene - This scene was inspired by my breakup. The words are pretty much all the same, only my breakup wasn't in a park. Mine was over a text, and yes, my boyfriend was the one to do the actual breaking up. So yea that hurt.

Shane's addiction - Shane's inability to quit was inspired [sadly] by my own half brother. His choice of drug is different though. It's weed and that is inspired by my friend [whom I love very much despite his dumb habit]. This character is special to me and I love him [that sounds funny huh?].

Megan's kindness/silliness - This character was inspired by my best friends Danielle [Didi] and Eric. Megan has somewhat of Didi's appearance and her kindness/silliness, but most of her silliness is going to come from Eric because when my boyfriend broke up with me, Eric really did ask me "Can I kill him?". So Megan has Eric's sadistic sense of humor.

When I get to some of the other scenes, I'll tell you what those are all about. :D So I hope you enjoy a little slice of my life thrown into fiction!
