Teagan was definitely different from most teenage girls, but she was one that was ok with herself for being different. She didn't feel ostracized or embarassed in anyway for not being a typical teenager, but there were definitely days when she wished she were just a little bit more 'normal' so that she would have more friends than she did. Teagan was definitely more bitter, sadistic, and guarded than the bubbly, popular, happy-go-lucky girls you found at any average high school, and she definitely carried around more skeletons in her closet than any of the girls around town. If anyone had a right to be a mopey pregnant dog for most of their life, Teagan was the girl that had that right. She had been through more things in her nineteen years than any person should ever go through in their entire life. While she was a more moody person than most teens, she was definitely a fighter and was stronger than most people she knew. After all the things she had been through, if she were any weaker than she was she probably wouldn't survive. Teagan had survived her parent's constant fighting, the years that they tried to stay together for her sake, all the while continually fighting with each other, she had survived having to deal with the idea of knowing that her own father killed her mother while claiming that it was an accident, and over the past three years she had to live with the fear that her father who had fled the country could be coming back to avenge her mother's death at any moment.

Teagan had always been into the vintage music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's and also enjoyed alternative bands. Most of her music was still on records, and she loved dark colors like black and red. Her typical style was a pair of converses, jeans, and a band tee, and skinny jeans. She drew alot, though her artwork was often considered morbid or twisted. To top it all off, Teagan had been using drugs since she was 17 and had been carrying around an even bigger and deeper secret since that time. This one secret was the one thing that even her best friend was clueless about, and something that teagan wasn't planning on telling anytime soon. She too enjoyed the cold weather more than most people, so after spending the last few days cooped up in her room working on her artwork, Teagan decided to head to the park and meet up with her close friend, Andi. Teagan flopped off her bed and pulled on a typical Teagan outfit, then added on a warmer jacket and some gloves. Once she was ready, she grabbed her purse, keys, and cell phone and hopped in her 1965 Comet. After pulling out of the driveway, Teagers soon found herself at the park in less than ten minutes. After she had parked, Teagan pulled out her drawing pad and then made her way to the bench where she sat down to work some more on her artwork.

After taking and making plans with Teagan, Andy found herself slipping on a pair of gray wash skinny jeans along with a plain white v-neck shirt. The outift was a little plain for Andy's usually style, but she was just going to the park, she didn't feel like getting all dressed up. Before heading out of her bedroom, she slipped on a pair of flats and grabbed a long gray cardigan before jogging lightly down the steps. She called out to anyone that was in the house, saying she'd be back later before pushing through the large door and headed down the driveway. Andy climbed into the drivers seat, started the car up, pulled out and headed for the park which was only minutes away. She probably didn't even need to use the car, but the cold toronto air just gave her another reason to drive.

Andy arrived at the park minutes later and parked along the side of the road like usual and stepped out. She felt the wash of cold air come over her, causing her to cross her arms tightly over her chest as she walked, searching for Teagan's face, which didn't take long to find at all. A playful smile came across her lips as she spotted Teagan drawing, like always and before she even had the chance to look up, or realize Andy was coming her way, she quickend her pace and snatched her drawing pad as she passed her. "Ohh, Pretty Pretty."She said as her eyes scanned over the picture before handing the notebook back. "Whats up girly?" She asked as she took a seat on the bench, next to Tegan.

Even though Andi was arriving later than the two had planned to meet, Teagan really didn't notice that her friend was late and honestly didn't mind too much. She was too wrapped up in her drawing to even notice anything. The fierce winds blowing through the park hardly fazed her, and neither did the bitter cold temperatures. Teagan didn't even really pay attention to the soft flakes falling to the ground all around her. Every now and then, she carelessly wiped the flakes off her drawing pad and then turned her focus back to her drawing she was working. Throughout her life, two things kept her going and gave her a reason to keep on fighting: her drawings, and the bands that gave her reason to wake up each and every morning. Without those two things in her life, Tea would have given up a long time ago. Sighing softly to herself, she pulled her jacket around her a bit more and then shifted forward slightly, keeping her gaze on the paper, looking up every now and then for signs of her closest friend, Andy. Looking at the two girls, you would have never guessed they were close or even liked each other at all, but for some reason they had been nearly best friends since they were both quite young. These days, Tea couldn't imagine a life without Andy in it.

Teagan kept adding shadow and depth to her drawing as she caught a glance at her vintage watch perched on her left wrist. She had decided that if Andy didn't arrive in the next five minutes, she was going to call Andy on her cell phone. Shivering slightly, she finished up the last few strokes and was about to flip the paper over to sign the back when she felt the slightly heavy drawing pad being taken away from her. With a smile, she looked up as her green eyes met with Andy's brown ones. Cracking a smile, she shrugged her shoulders slightly and uttered a friendly thank you. "Thanks Andy...nothing really...doing lots of thinking...about something...that...I really need to tell you about but...I've just never built up the confidence to tell you...or anyone else, for that matter." Teagan forced the smile back on her face as Andy sat down next to her and then spoke up herself, in a questioning tone. "So...anything new going on in Miss Andy's life?"
