Dramatic for the Defeated by Jaycee Wolfe

Julianna:
I’ve been told my whole life to lower my voice. Don’t randomly dance in public. Be quiet. Fit in… that’s my favorite. Fit in. Never mind that oldie but goodie “Why fit in when you were born to stand out.” Yes, while I love that saying. Sometimes I feel like fitting in might make the lives of the people around me better, easier. Maybe I could be less dramatic but I just cant seem to grasp that concept. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Then one day I fall into Brody’s arms, and literally everything changes. He wants to hear me sing at the top of my lungs, he laughs when I dance around the halls, he encourages my crazy and before I know it. I’ve fallen for him. But am I being selfish? My family’s issues leave little room for Brody. Will I loose him while trying to keep my family safe?

Brody:
I have watched Julianna since freshmen year. The fun, outspoken, exuberant and sometimes wild child of our school. Always getting into trouble while smiling. And that smile alone could bring me to my knees. I’ve always wanted to talk to her, always wanted to stand in front of the fire for her but I’ve never even entertained the idea she could fall for a guy like me. No money, no future, no stable home life… so I stayed away. Until she feel into my arms. Holding her in my arms changes everything. Juju is mine and I will battle any dragon to keep her by my side.
