Dreamland-Chapter 12

We continue on with everyday getting worse and worse with Caitlin. All she's worried about is to do everything perfect so Rogerson won't hit her. She always has the day after that he's nice. WOW! I don't even know how I would react to that if it happened to me. Rina showed up to Caitlins house the day of a very important party to Caitlin’s mother. Rina said she was going to kidnap Caitlin and take her out to the lake, but promised to have her back by 6 for the party. Caitlin was very hesitant because she had plans with Rogerson but she had no idea what time. She knew if she left him waiting it might not end well. Her mother agreed and said she should wear a dress. It covered up most of the bruises, but not all of them so she wore a jacket. Her mom wanted her to take it off and that caused confrontation. On her way out Caitlin made Rina stop at Corinna’s house. When she got there all she found was Dave telling her that she left for California. From there it was to the lake. She was there for awhile, but soon she knew she had to leave or something bad would come. It ended up she walked a mile till Rina’s boyfriend came and gave her a ride. When she got to the house she saw all the cars, but only Rogerson’s mattered. When she saw it she was scared, because she knew he’d be very upset with her. I would be scared to death, it would be like just walking to your own funeral.  We she got to him he was beyond angry. He hit her repeatedly and he threw her to the grown. She told her to get up and then she wouldn’t. Soon her mom came running out to her yelling at Rogerson and telling Caitlin everything would be ok. Everyone at the party came out, and soon everyone heard sirens.

Dreamland-Chapter 11

Caitlin went to cheer practice one day not knowing it would be her last. Everyone there except Rina thought that Caitlin didn’t care at all anymore, so they asked. Her reply was frankly she doesn’t nor she never did. I don’t blame her, I would hate cheerleading with everything in me. One day Cass called and no one was home except for Caitlin. With Caitlin still not wanting to talk to her she just hung up. Caitlin went to Corinna’s house one day to find her and Dave going all out screaming at each other. She saw that everything wasn’t perfect for them like she used to think. Caitlin was in her room one day when her mother came up saying how worried she was about her. Caitlin worried at first thinking she knows that she gets beat, soon thinks this is good, her mother finally realizes she’s there. Her hopes are soon crushed when it turns out all she’s worried about is that she doesn’t wear colors. That would suck, for it to be that close to just think someone knows something’s going on and then it’s just torn away like that. I can’t even imagine.

Dreamland-Chapter 10

Many people now have started telling Caitlin to just wake up. She feels like she can't definetly now with Rogerson beating her. She wants to wake up from this nightmare, but she can't because it's her real life. After Christmas is when Caitlin decided it was time to make love to Rogerson. After that he still didn't stop beating her, and it seemed like if she did anything wrong she'd pay for it. One day Rina asked if they could hang out and Caitlin of course said no because she had to do something with Rogerson. She knew if she ditched him she'd definitly get hit, and hard. That's just sickening. How someone could do that. It became clear that Rina was worried about Caitlin. Caitlin reasured her, saying everything was fine. Even though she knew it was a lie.

Dreamland-Chapter 9

After the night of the banquet Caitlin was scared to death of that Rogerson. Cass started calling more and more which made her mother alot happier, but it seemed now all she worried about was whenever the phone rang if it was Cass or watching the tv show she worked at. Caitlin felt like she didn't even exsist in her mothers world. At the last photography class they had before Christmas they had to get a picture of someone. Caitlin choosed Rogerson, it was hard to get a picture though. She got one of him by surprise. In this picture he looked irritated. Caitlin's teacher told her that she is really amazing at catching what someone is like in a picture. And when he told her this he held her hands. Caitlin didn't think Rogerson saw this but when he asked her about it and she said it was nothing he freaked out again and hit her. When she walked in the house her mother freaked. Mine would to, I could just hear the constant questions. Caitlin lied and said she fell on some ice. The next morning Cass called, but Caitlin pretended she was sleeping when her mom came in. Instead she wrote in her dream journal.

Dreamland-Chapter 8

Caitlin  started her photography class with Boo and her mother, she soon found out that she was very good at it. She started spending more and more time with Corinna and that made her realize they had a lot in common. Corinna left her parents when she was young to live with Dave, something her parents who she still randomly sees places don’t approve of. Caitlin’s mother still misses Cass like crazy and that’s why her life revolved around when the show Cass worked on. She just wanted that slight glimpse of Cass. I get that, but I would feel terrible if I was Caitlin, seeing my mother only caring that my older sibling was gone and don’t paying me any attention. Caitlin’s cheerleading career wasn’t going all that good, she really didn’t care about it and the others could tell. One day Caitlin was suppose to meet Rogerson at her house, but she found Rina crying on the road, so she made Rina pull over even though she knew she’d be late for meeting Rogerson. She talked with her for awhile and when she finally got home Rogerson had left from waiting so long. At the banquet it was long and boring. Caitlin went home with Rogerson and he was asking her why she didn’t show up today and she explained that she had to be with Rina. It seemed he understood, but then he kept questioning her, and she replied with “don’t be such a baby.” With that he smacked her in the face, yelling at her. After that he went back to normal. That same night Cass called, but Caitlin didn’t want to talk because she knew Cass would know something happened.

Dreamland-Chapter7

After what happened to Rogerson from his father brought him and Caitlin closer together. From then on whenever Rogerson had to go and deliver drugs to some place Caitlin would ride along. Caitlin's friends didn't really understand what she saw in him. It soon turned out to be that she didn't care. She loved being with Rogerson. She felt like all she had to do was be herself, and she wasn't in anyones shadow. She was up front. She liked this! I would to, I'm in my brothers shadow alot I think in my moms mind. It's the other way around with my dad though. So it's kind of equally matched. On one of the trips Caitlin met Corinna and Dave. They were such nice people to her. Caitlin was amazed on how much of a genius Rogerson was, he honestly know everything.

Dreamland-Chapter6

It's funny how things work out sometimes. Caitlin had to help her mother with some senior citizen thing and there was Rogerson doing some of his community service. When she saw him she at first yelled at him for not calling, but when he kissed her all the anger went away. He asked her out that night and of course she said yes. Her mother wasn't that thrilled about it because of his reputation with things. When Rogerson picked her up he said he had to make some erounds. Those erounds were selling weed. Caitlin had a feeling, but she wasn't for sure that's why he had to do community service. When he was finally done he took her to his house for some party he had to be at with his parents. He was late and his father wasn't happy. When he confronted Rogerson Caitlin stayed in the bathroom. He wasn't nice to Rogerson at all and even slapped him across the face real hard. Caitlin went and comforted him when his father left.

A

Well one of the most important thing that makes my life amazing and starts with the letter "a" is America and all the people who help protect it. Its amazing how we can live freely because of the wonderful nation we are. One of my cousins i'm really close to is in the army so it really hits home when people talk about all the wonderful things the people who are in the service do.
One of my best friends names starts with an A and that's Allison Mora, ever since freshman year me and her really got close. She's one of the only friends I still have in Tripp, but I'm ok with that. She has always been there for me and I do the same for her. Me and her have some amazing memories that's for sure.
Apples are another thing that makes my life good. They're one of my favorite fruits, I hardly ever get tired of them.
I think everyone can agree that air conditioning makes our life amazing. I love the summer, but I don't think I could live without it during July and those really hot months.

Dreamland-Chapter 5

After the night Caitlin had with Rogerson she thought she would at least get a call from him, but this didn't happen. She was really bummed about this with the fact that she really felt a connection to him. I think this would bother anyone. You have a great time with someone and they don't call or do anything but leave you feeling you dreamt it all. A few days later Caitlin was watching a talk show where there was mostly yelling going on. In there she say Cass in the back with a head set on. She freaked out and her mother did the same when she saw it. They called the studio, and told the person to give her a message that her family loves and misses her so much.

Dreamland-Chapter 4

Soon with Caitlin making the cheer team things got to be very busy. It really helped her mother get over Cass's running away. As much as her mother loved that she was on the cheer squad Caitlin absolutely hated it. That definatly came there at one of the big games when they were doing this big reutine and when they got to the pyramid she heard some guy keep yelling "Cass" Caitlin didn't know if this was really happening. She then relized she was in the Dreamland Cass was talking about and then she fell backwards. She wasn't badly hurt and was could enough to go to a party with Rina. Before they went to the party they went to a car wash and that's where she met Rogerson. A boy that Caitlin just had a instant attraction to. That definetly came threw when she saw him again at the party and they left together. They made out for a half hour before she had to be home before curfew. When she got in she wrote everything down in the journal Cass gave her, knowing someday she'll read it.

Dreamland-Chapter 3

School soon began for Caitlin and they didn't hear from Cass since that night. Rina Caitlin's best friend convinced Caitlin to try out for cheerleading since it was something Cass never did. I would never get convinced to do cheerleading, it's just not for me at all. She made the squad! When she brought the uniform home and she finally told her mom that she made it her mom finally had a glimpse of happiness. Later that night she recalled the time when Boo told her she could do whatever she wanted as long as she put her mind to it, still to this day her own mother hasn't said that. During Labor Day Caitlin's family, Boo, and Stewart always have a get together. Even though it was thought of to not have it this year with Cass gone they still did.

Dreamland-Chap2

The next morning when Caitlin woke up she realized she didn't dream at all that night, but she wanted to still write in it see she wrote "Nothing last night. And you're still gone." Her parents were going crazy still, acting the same way they did the day before. She was outside and she saw her neighbors, Boo and Stewart eating breakfast. They called her over. While she was there Caitlin broke down into tears. She took awhile to break down, I brobably would have the moment I found out my sibling ran away. Later on that night Cass called. She didn't say anything at first, but her dad new it was her and he got her to talk. When asked to come home Cass said a stern no and said she was fine. Then she said goodbye.

Dreamland-Chapter 1

The day Caitlin turns 16, is not a day of happiness, it's a day full of fear because her older sister Cass ran away from home during the night and no one had no clue it was coming. All she left for her family to know she was ok was a short letter saying everything would work out and a birthday present for Caitlin. I couldn't imagine how it would be if my brother would have just randomly ran away. I would be scared, thats for sure. Caitlin got a journal where she was supposed to write down every dream she had. Cass was very big into dreams. The only thing Cass wrote was I'll see you there.
