Point of Views

As a child I would be scared; scared to death that I found out that I was kidnapped! Found out by a milk carton, shouldn't Janie's "parents" at least tell her? They didn't bother to even tell her, they just lived a perfect life. If I were Janie I would feel scared so much I would go crazy. Crazy in meaning of acting all weird and not beng my self. I would scream to my parents and say, " Why didn't YOU tell me? I don't even know you anymore? I thought you guys were my..my parents?!" I would tell them to get out of the house and just leave, not letting them explain.

If I stepped into Janie's shoes and was her for a day I would feel worried, cheated, and out of place. What happend to Janie was just the beginning I could feel the heat rising to my head wanting to SCREAM! Her "Mother", "Father" and her were a perfect family. They didn't have any problems what so ever, they were always nice, and they always smiled. They looked older than some parents but Janie still loved them. Then Janie was going crazy! She saw a picture of her on a milk carton and she was worried. She couldn't speak, she knew that it was her, she was positive. If I were her I would feel worried! Why was I, Janie Johnson on a milk carton. My last name wasn't even Johnson it was SPRING? Was I kidnapped? Was my parents not my parents? If I were her I would run away and cry, cry my eyes off, but then I would go back home and ask my parents when I am relaxed and ask them.

Reeve's point of view(: " I think I am in love! Janie my next door neighbor the HOTTIE!" I am just speechless, the way she is so different, she cares about everyone she isn't mean like the "popular" girls. She is nice, smart, hot, and cares. I want to ask her out, but wouldn't she think that it would be weird for a senior to ask out a freshman? I'll go with my guts and ask her out! When Janie asked me to take her to New Jersey she told me everything. I was nervous and couldn't believe that. i thought her family was the perfect family, her parents were so nice that i couldn't imagine. Could Janie be crazy? She couldn't she was my girlfriend. She wasn't crazy! I went with the flow and I helped her, but then I couldn't go through this with her anymore. I couldn't be apart of it, she was hurting me. All she thought about was her parents from New Jersey the Springs! I had to tell her, I had to help she was my love. I comforted her and told her that I told my older sister everything. She went crazy, why didn't she want me to tell my sister her was ALMOST a lawyer. My sister could help, help her achieve, but she wouldn't let that happend. So we went our separate ways. I was trying to help her she just wouldn't let me. I was heart broken and I couldn't believe that she broke up with me. So I was desperate. I was using girls to make her jealous make me feel like I am a the person who I was with Janie. They just weren't the one, it was Janie who was the one. She just had to leave!

Car ride! Janie(: I can't wait to go to New Jersey! But then I don't want to, I don't want to find out that the Springs were actually my parents. I loved my parents i had before can't hurt them. But I am going to go and just see if they are. I hope Reeve doesn't mind. I am using his money just for me. I think he is over me? I hope not, I love him to much. If he doesn't like this then he should leave, leave me. This is apart of me, I want to find out the real me. If he likes me for who I am then he shouldn't mind this, but if he doesn't and and he likes me right now and who I was before then he likes the fake me. I hope he likes me for who I really am.

Reeve:P Another 2 hours left 'till we get to her stupid house. Why cant she just love her family now. She says she doesn't want to find out, so why go? Sometimes i think she is going crazy? Then again she is my girlfriend, I brought my self into this mess and now i have to live with it. I love Janie and i can't leave her at a time like this. Then she would hate me and I would be miserable. Mmhmmm.. I really want to have it with her, she is hot and everything i want in a girl! But she won't let me. I understand she is only a freshmen. I'll wait, just for her. I love you Janie and I will do anything for her. But seriously why does she have to find out about this family?
