Have a Little Faith
A novel based on the song 21 Guns by Green Day
Introduction
My life didn’t suck before I met Cyrus. But it wasn’t that grand, either. A small town in the middle of nowhere, where the greatest excitement was a thunderstorm or the robbing of a make-up pouch from a general store. There was nothing interesting or unique about my life. I was just a girl growing up on the bottom of the American social ladder, living the life I was given as best as I could, melting in the hot summers and freezing in the icy winters. It was the most typical, cliche life anyone could be given. But it wasn’t an interesting cliche. I didn’t have the consolation prize of knowing and being close to everyone in town, or having endless acres of beauty known as my backyard. I didn’t have a horse that changed my life, or a dad who kept me back from or pushed me toward my dreams. To be honest, I didn’t really have any dreams, because I knew exactly how my life was going to happen. Just the same as everyone else’s life in that town. I regretted it every day. But I wasn’t one of those kids who thought I could change it.
