You never really get over your first love. Such is the case for
fourteen-year-old Stephanie Barrano, self-proclaimed misfit and death
magnet. A freshman in high school, Stephanie is befriended by Jordan
Brewer, a hot, in-demand senior, who pulls her from the outer circle of
obscurity into the realm of acceptance. Jordan quickly works his way
into Stephanie’s heart. He’s her everything. And the only person she
trusts with the truth about her father’s death. But he won’t act on the
strong feelings he has for her. Stephanie vows to wait for him, knowing
in time she’ll

We don’t know how many of you actually had the opportunity
to read For Always by the lovely Danielle Sibarium, and if you haven’t beware
this interview we are about to do contains spoilers!!!
So with that being said, we are so excited about doing this interview with
Jordan, and since there are two of us, we figured some color coding is needed,
lol. So Dani will be pink, Christina will be purple, Jordan will be blue, and black
will be the both of us! Stay tuned to the end, it will contain some vital news!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
So Jordan I want to start by saying thank you so much for
meeting with us, I’m way excited and I can honestly say my day just got better!
My name is Dani and this chica on my right is Christina, we are the Crazy Book
Chicks!
It’s a pleasure to meet you both, and thank you for having me here.
Ok so the one question that’s
been on my mind since I’ve read your story; I know Stephanie called you for her
friend Maria, then you saw her at the movies, but when did you first initially
notice her?
The first time I noticed Stephanie? Hmm. I don’t think I’ll ever forget
that day. It was the first day of school, her first day of high school (smiles
wistfully). I stood at my locker and I saw Maria waving in the hall. I waved
back and she grabbed Stephanie by the wrist and dragged her over. Stephanie
wouldn’t even look at me, she looked scared to death. Scared and beautiful.
* mumbles under her breath, Can
you blame her I mean your gorgeous*
So when was the first time you knew you wanted Stephanie?
That’s a tough one, I feel like I’ve wanted her forever. But if I had to pick
a single moment in time, I’d say it was the day of the smokey bus incident, you
heard about that right? I know who hasn’t? After we got back to school we were standing
in front of my locker and we were staring into each other’s eyes, everyone and
everything around us seemed to disappear. All I could think about were her lips
and how sweet they’d taste.
*fans self*, Dang Christina did
it just get hotter in here?
We could tell Stephanie wasn’t too thrilled when you dated
girls, but how did you feel when you saw her dating?
To say I wasn’t happy when I found out she was with Chris is an
understatement. And then she stopped coming to my locker, which I tried to convince
myself was for the best. But seeing them together . . . I didn’t expect to feel
like the wind was knocked from me. And not just with Chris, every time I saw
her talking to another guy, I’d get angry. I’d look for a reason to start a
fight with him. Of course I never did, except with Chris. The funny thing is I didn’t even realize at
first that I was jealous. But I hated it.
Did you like Charlie? He seemed
to be the best out of the bunch…though he still wasn’t you! Wait did Stephanie
ever tell you what really happened between her and Charlie?
What really happened? Oh you mean that jerk sweet talking her while he was
in love with someone else? No I didn’t like Charlie. True, he seemed better
than most of the other guys she dated, but he made me nervous. He was the only
one that really worried me because he seemed to really care about her, and I
knew he was the type of guy she could fall in love with. I knew he might just
steal her heart and I wasn’t sure I could let that happen.
OH yea, so umm maybe you should
talk to Steph about the real reason, uhm , that they broke it off… *looks
around the room at Christina* That so could not happen! Steph was totally in
love with you….seriously ask her about Charlie!
So tell me how felt at the prom?
The after party?
I couldn’t let Stephanie miss out on one of the most important night in a
girl’s life. There are certain memories you have forever, and prom is one of
them. It was a night where all I had to do was be by her side, and make sure
she had a good time. Easy enough. I didn’t count on enjoying it so much. We
danced and laughed, I saw her in a new light. She was strong and confident. And when I looked at her for the first time
that night, it hit me how much she’d grown up. I think that was the moment I realized
I’d been waiting for that night since we met.
The after party was amazing. It was a night I’ll always keep close to my
heart. All I wanted to do was steal her away and have her all to myself under
the moonlight, but once we were alone she started down a path I wasn’t sure we
were ready for. Of course Stephanie wouldn’t take no for an answer, I have that
effect on her (smiles).
I’m pretty sure you have that
effect on anyone that falls into the female category!
The accident was a major turning point in your story…Did
you really blame Steph for the accident? Why did you hurt her so bad?
Did I blame her? Yes and no. Stephanie was an easy target. She’s always
had the contorted idea that she’s the reason bad things happen to people she
loves, like she’s some sort of jinx.
I’ve been trying since we met to convince her otherwise, but when it
happened, she was convenient. She pushed me to admit my feelings for her, and I
started to think if I never took her to the prom at all, none of it would’ve
happened.
And then she confronted me, I just didn’t know what to do, I needed space
and she wouldn’t back off, so I lashed out at her. I’m ashamed to admit that I
did mean to hurt her, but only so she’d back off. When I had time to think
about what I’d done . . . well you know the rest.
It seems like most of the hurdles have been cleared, what
are your plans now that you and Stephanie are together?
I want to spend every day with her
looking toward the future. I want to prove to her she’s worthy of a happy
ending, and work to make sure I’m worthy of her love.
I love Stephanie, but do you
think there’s a chance we will get to see your side of the story?
I doubt you’ll see my side of the story. I went through a really tough
time there and I’d like to put it behind me, just forget about it. I know
that’s not possible, but to relive it . . . I don’t think I want to do that.
I can understand that and though
I’m a little sad, I totally get it!
Is there talk about a possible
sequel in the making?
We keep trying to talk Danielle into it. We make it tough for her to focus
on anyone else. We even laid out the entire plot for her. She finally agreed to consider it, but I’m
not a hundred percent sure we convinced her to do it. But if we do get the
sequel we want, I can promise there will be a few surprises.
*squeals* This is good news,
I’ll just have to keep bugging Danielle, maybe I can convince her!
Thanks again for meeting with us; we absolutely loved
getting the chance to spend some time with you!
Thank you for having me! I’d love to come back, but you know Stephanie, she
tends to get jealous. ;-)
