Trusting My Own Heart

Courtney Summers: girl with the seemingly perfect life. My parents were supportive, my social life was never dull, and my best friend, Jenna, was more than I could have ever hoped for. I really couldn't complain. Compared to others, like Jenna, I didn't really have anything to complain about. Except that I did. Keeping up appearances by being the perfect daughter and social butterfly was exhausting. The more I pretended, the more I lost myself, the more mistakes I made. Until I met Josh. He challenged me and saw right through my act. An act I couldn't drop because if I did people would get hurt. I couldn't let that happen. I wouldn't. My heart wasn't strong enough for it. But the truth always comes out, and no matter how hard I tried my truth wasn't going to stay hidden much longer.
