Hey Jude

by LunaLove4537

Summary:

Judith Mayfield exists in a circle of popularity she’s never quite fit into. An encounter with Eddie Munson in June of 1986 sets into motion a journey of finding out who she really is and teaches her maybe fitting in isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And maybe, just maybe, she finds love with her best friend—the same young man in the trailer just across the street along the way.

Notes:

PART ONE: THEN…

Chapter 1: PART ONE: THEN (June, 1986-July, 1986)

 

Do any of us know who we are? I have an inkling, brimming beneath the surface. Bubbling like waves on the shore. Grappling with me everyday. I cling to a single breath to stay afloat. It’s easier to fit in. To fill a mold. Tilt my head up. Force a smile. Breathe. My heart itches to break out. Some days, I feel it hammering away at the cage it’s kept in. The cruel fate it has been submitted to. But I continue on. Smile. Breathe. Pretend. Repeat. I can’t help but to think, is this all there is for me?

— Judith Mayfield (June, 1985)
