My mothes daughter

This is the story if how my mother and father meet fell in love and had me. In a small town where everyone waits for the most recent gossip is where my story takes place. You might know this town better as Mayberry. If you’ve never heard of it don’t worry its just a little dinky town in Colorado. Two five year olds are playing in back of a beautiful Victorian styled house. There was a wooden jungle gym in the backyard. The little boy was pushing the little girl on the swing. “Lilly” The little boy says looking off into space. “hmmm.” “One day when where older I want you to marry me and we can live happily ever after just like our parents do.” “I would love to marry you Seth.” the little girl said and they kept swinging until Seth was called to go home. But what these little kids did not know was that there parents were far from happily ever after in fact the were on the verge of good bye. That’s just what happened Seth’s parents split and he was forced to move to Ohio with his mother where as Lilly was forced to stay in Mayberry with her father. At first they where allowed to send letters to each other but after Lilly’s mother died they lost contact. Forgetting that at one point in time they had been best friends.

Ten years later

“Damn it” I said as I was trying to get my locker open I was already late for the first day of high school. “Aww enaproite language I’m telling.” came a voice from beside me. “Who are you?” I said in a pissed off tone because I was. “ I am Seth I transferred here this year my mother finally got tired of me and you are?” “I’m late and don’t have time to here your sad story.” I said as I walked away. But for some reason I couldn’t shake the feeling that I knew him and he was on my mind all through the day…………..

“Damn it” I heard someone yell from down the hall.. So I go down there and see the most beautiful girl. She had blonde hair that sparkled when the sunlight hit it. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean and could of sworn I knew her from somewhere. I made a joke with the her and she freaks out but I don’t think it was anything personal so I brush it off and head to class but for some odd reason she was all I could think about but its not like I could focus anyway. After my mom left my dad she went down hill. She started drinking and going out her excuse the whole time was I need to find someone to replace your dad. I heard it for years always got the it was his fault we ended up like this and for years I put with it until about mid summer then I started acting up as much as I could so she would send me back. It had worked better then I expected. I came home at three in the morning like she usually did just to show her how it felt and we got into a big argument the cops were called and the judge ordered me to go back to Mayberry. One time the school consular asked me how I got through it all and my answer was my dreams every night I dreamt of a swing set with a faceless girl who I felt completely safe with sometimes the dreams would lead me into a wedding reception. I told no one else about theses dreams because I was sacred they would make me seem less manly.
