I don't own any characters from Days Of Our Lives except for Gina.

Ch1

16 year old Gina Black watched with envy as her 21 year old sister Belle put her veil on. Today was her wedding day to Shawn Brady and Belle couldn't have been happier. Gina couldn't have been happier too. Now with Belle out of the house, maybe now she could get their fathers attention.

Gina love Belle, but she felt like she was the black sheep of the family. Belle was the perfect, pretty one…Gina felt like she couldn't do anything right and she felt she wasn't pretty. Their mom Marlena treated them fairly, but their father John was a different story. Gina couldn't help but feel that Belle was his favorite. He would call Belle Tink and his baby girl. She couldn't remember the last time he called her that. She couldn't remember the last time he gave her any kind of loving attention. That's probably why she finally had it and decided to rebel. John absolutely forbade her to see Connor Lockhart(who happened to be Mimi Lockharts little brother and Mimi was best friends with Belle) but she didn't care. Just because he wasn't a Shawn Brady didn't mean he was a bad person. They loved each other and NOTHING or NOBODY was going to get in their way.

Belle was talking to Gina. "I'm glad you agreed to be a bridesmaid. It means a lot to me." Gina put on a fake smile.

"You do look beautiful. At least Dad let me out for this." She was grounded for two weeks: one week because she got a bad report card in school, and another week for talking back to her father because of the first week he originally gave her. Belle sighed. "You know he loves you Gina." Gina shrugged. "It doesn't feel that way."

There was a knock on the door and John walked in. He and Gina stared at each other and then he turned towards Belle and smiled. "You look beautiful baby girl." Gina felt like he slapped her in the face and Belle noticed.

"Thanks Dad, but Gina looks beautiful too don't you think?"

John turned towards his youngest. "You're right Tink she does." Gina stormed out, frustrated that he couldn't tell her that on his own. She stormed into Marlena.

"Sweetie what is it? Whats wrong?" She just ran off, wanting to be alone. Marlena sighed and felt her heart break at her daughters pain.

John was talking to Belle. "I don't know what has gotten into your sister lately, but I will not let her ruin this day for everybody, especially you."

"Dad listen to me. I need you to do something for me. Shes really hurting right now. She needs you. She feels like you don't love her."

"That's not true Tink. I love her very much. How can she not know that?"

"You have to tell her Dad. Show her like you do with me, and go easy on her."

John hugged her. "She's lucky to have a sister like you."

With her head on Connors shoulder, Gina wiped her eyes and poured her heart out to him. Just because Connor dressed differently and didn't come from the best family in town didn't mean he was a bad person. Yes he dropped out of school to get a job, but that was to help support his family. "Gina, you know he loves you. He just cant show it to you." She gave a bitter laugh.

"He can show Belle perfectly though. I'm sorry we had to sneak around Conner, but no more. Tonight at the reception I want everybody to see me in the arms of the man I love."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? You know how your father feels."

"I don't care and that's that. I love you too much."

"I love you too." They kissed and pulled away when they heard a loud AHEM!
