I'm sorry for deleting the old story but I had a new idea that I wanted to try out instead of the privous one, i'm not going to continue it, sorry for the inconvenience


Chapter 1

I was holding a family portrait, thinking about how five years have passed since my mother and my brother passed away in a horrible accident, in the following month's family and close friends were still devastated about the incident, but life has to go on.
At that time I was 16 years old and my sister Maggie was 21, Hershel, our dad in grief and sorrow, lost himself in a deep depression accompanied by alcohol and poker, worst of all, poker.
My dad never had luck, he would lose almost every time and even with Maggie's warnings, that was the only hobby he found, but debts started to accumulate, money fell short and we almost lost the farm, but thanks to Dale, a family friend, who at the time worked on the village bank, it didn't happen.
He advised us to give the ownership of the farm to Otis and Patricia, since both were almost like family, keeping the only home I have ever known away from the hands of the debt collectors.
At that time Maggie had a part-time job and studied at the same time, when news of our bankruptcy came, like a storm over our heads, she had to quit school and started working full-time, after a serious conversation with Otis and Dale, Maggie decided to open a bar.
Dale lent her some money and after that Maggie was able to bring money home every month and even paid for my studies.
Everything was going well although, after my 18th birthday I decided to start helping out my sister at her bar.
These thoughts became increasingly constant in my mind.
Today is my day off, but these thoughts became increasingly constant, I couldn't rest, until someone knocked on the door:

"Beth? (…) Are you awake?" – I heard Maggie's voice, but she should still be at the bar, I hoped nothing bad happened since the bar at night attracts some uneasy costumers.

"Come in, I'm awake."

"Sis I have something to tell you, I want you to be the first to know, I simply can't hold this any longer, I need to share it with someone if I don't I'll just explode." – I could see that Maggie was happy and anxious; it's been ages since I've seen her like this and only for that I felt curious about the reason of such happiness and even without having a chance to ask she yelled.

"Glenn proposed to me Beth, I'm officially engaged, and I still don't believe that he had the guts to take the next step." – Maggie held my hands and continued.
"I want you to be our maid of honour; the date is set for the next summer."- My response was quick and accompanied by a long hug.

"Yes!" - I answered with a huge smile, for a moment forgetting all the hardships and the sadness I have been restless about. "You know you can count on me, to be your maid of honour, to sing at your marriage, everything you need, I love you."

We continued hugging, it's been long since we had such good news, Maggie and Glenn have been dating for a year know, but they know each other for some time now, Glenn was always very shy, when the bar still had no kitchen, Maggie and I used to order some pizza and he was always the one who delivered it, one day he started to go to the bar, as a client, and stayed for hours talking to Maggie, I didn't found odd when she told me she took the first step, she kissed him and asked if he wanted more than just that. Obviously he didn't hesitate, I was present at that moment at witnessed a romance start; it was something that cheered me up without a doubt.

"I won't bother you more sis, I'll go tell the good news to dad and everyone else. I just wanted you to be the first to know, since you were present at the time we started dating. Sweet dreams Beth, see you tomorrow." – Maggie kissed me in the forehead and left the room.

After that, I changed and was getting ready to sleep, I laid down and simply couldn't sleep, I started thinking that maybe my turn would never come, truth is that I was single, things with Jimmy didn't went well, he wanted to be with more than just me and for that reason we broke up, maybe it's my destiny to stay alone and virgin. Took a deep breath, closed my eyes, tomorrow would be a new day.
