Hi there, I'm new to this whole writing thing so please don't be too harsh. I thought I would try to do something different from the usual lovey dovey Sarah and James story. It is the story of how James parents met. Since in the series they are not alive and no one has ever written a story about them, I decided to give them a little story of my own :) I do not own Liberty's Kids, If I did the storyline would have taken a totally different route. Enjoy!
Excitement filled the pit of my stomach as I stepped off of the ship and onto the dock. My name is Susannah Pembroke, or Susie for short, and I'm a runaway. I used to live in the North End of Boston with my family. We lived a happy life, comfortable life. That is until the day my mother passed away. I was an only child but my parents longed to have more than just me. Finally, after years of trying, my mother was pregnant. I don't think I have ever saw them more happy in my entire life. My mother sadly passed away during childbirth along with my brother. I was 14 years old. After that day, my father was never the same person and took up drinking. He just drank and drank his problems way, and took out his anger on me. After four years of being beaten and screamed at, I had enough. In the middle of the night I gathered a few of my belongings and all the money I had saved up and hopped the nest ship leaving the harbor. That ship brought me here to Philadelphia, the largest city in the colonies. But I had a small problem. I had no money, or a place to stay. It seems I had just thrown myself into these new surroundings with little money or possessions. But it was better than being back in Boston. As soon as I stepped on the dock my breath was taken away by the sight of the city. It was full of crowds and people all buzzing about, moving from shop to shop, chatting with friends and acquaintances. It seemed so busy and fast. I walked down the street taking it all in, and as I was walking that's where I saw him. The man that changed my life.
Like I said, first time writing stuff like this. But I will have more chapters up soon, please review ;)
