All Chapters of Loving Your Imperfections: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

MiaI looked at myself in the body-length mirror in our room and sighed. I wasn't much into dressing up completely, so I wore a plain white tank top with a short ruffled black skirt and my high-top black converse. I wasn't much into make-up because then I'd forget and rub my face or something, smearing it like crazy, so I wore only a bit of mascara, and that was it.My hair was down to my mid-back, so I decided to leave it down. I finished my look with a small chain."Ready? Oh, you look so pretty, Mia. Look at you. God, you could go in sweatpants, and you'd still make heads turn. You are so pretty." Kaitlyn says, making me blush as I purse my lips and smile lightly. "Thanks, Kate. You look beautiful too." I say as I admire her impeccable skills in doing her makeup and dressing so nicely. "Awe, thanks, Mia. Let's go. Bailey and Kenzie are downstairs, waiting already. My eyes lit up as I heard McKenzie's name. Besides Bailey and Kate, Kenzie was my only friend. I love and miss this gi

MiaNate held me in a tight hug until I had calmed down and stopped shaking. After that, he drove us to a nearby coffee house, where we sat quietly. Warm coffee and chocolate cake in front of us. It was peaceful. Just what I needed right now. My mind kept going back to Steven's words. I couldn't wrap my head around his words. Indeed, he had to be kidding. Mom wasn't a drunk. There was no way she had been drinking and driving, especially if I was in the car with her.Nate fiddled with his fingers, looking at his palms, but staying quiet. He knew I didn't want to talk about it, so I was thankful he wasn't trying to make me talk. I leaned my head on his shoulder, sighing. My phone kept going off, making me irritated. "Maybe you should answer. They might be worried about you," he suggests making me groan inwardly. I closed my eyes, reached into my pocket, and took my phone out. I had missed calls from mom and dad and Bailey and Audrey. I didn't want to answer any of them, to be hones

MiaI braced myself for what else was to come, looking between dad, Nikki, and my stepmom, Phoebe. "Ok, talk," I demanded, folding my hands over my chest. I clenched my jaws looking sternly between the three. I was tired of being treated like a child. I know technically, was seen as the baby of the house; that is, until Bailey and Phoebe joined the family, making Bailey the youngest. She was a month and a half younger than me. And even then, I feel like they treat her with more respect than me, trusting her more. Dad looks at mom with slight concern, rubbing the back of his head and clearing his throat. He was ready to talk, when the door jolted open. "Hello, hello! I'm home!" Bailey yells as she comes into the room, clearly intoxicated. I look at her in shock, this wasn't like her. She has never drunk before, and she's practically a hermit when it comes to parties. She doesn't like going to parties, doesn't like to socialize, or any of the sorts to be honest. She's...well... I g

Third Person POVThough Mia had high hopes of avoiding Nate, it became impossible to do so. The two spent all summer long. They went everywhere together, did everything together, and even slept over at each other's house. Now, before you get ahead of yourself, they never did the thing. They did nothing more than kiss here and there. He knew he was falling madly in love with her, more than he already was. But- he was willing to give her space until she was ready to say yes to being his girlfriend. They became like best friends, glued by the hip; talked on the phone until late and even fell asleep while still talking to each other. Mia wasn't ready to do anything else, and besides, she knew the school year was coming soon, and she had to face reality. He would probably go back to Andrea, and she would have no choice but to be placed back into the friend zone, where she thought she belonged. Boy- was she wrong.✨✨✨✨✨MiaI wanted to enjoy my last night of summer with my friends and Nat

Mia (Next Day) I was finishing up getting ready for school. I was rather excited to start this year. I already began looking into universities to attend next year. I'm not sure which to go with though. Nate is thinking of NYU since that's where his dad graduated from, but he's got USC as a second choice since that's where his mom graduated from. I'm indecisive right now. I don't even know what to study, or what career to pursue. It's making me a bit nervous. I didn't even think of looking into universities until the middle of the year if I'm being totally honest, but it was Nate's mom that made me realize. I should be already thinking ahead. Both of my sisters Audrey and Nikki gave it all figured out. Audrey is a teacher at a middle school here in town, and Nikki will be graduating from medical school next year, and starting her internship soon after at a big hospital in Nashville. But as for me? I have no clue what I want to be. Bailey is also thinking of being a history teacher.
