Chapter 1: Fairy Tales

The same words kept coming into my head. If only he knew...

Flashback

I was crying. "Oliver, why would Jake break up with me?"

"Cause he's a jerk and you're not. Not a good couple." Oliver replied.

I smiled. "Really?"

"Really." He said, as I hugged him. It felt good to just talk to a guy who understood everything.

Suddendly, I felt a strong feeling for him. Was I in love with Oliver? No, I couldn't be. ...Or could I?

End Of Flashback

I sighed. I wanted to tell him, but he has a GIRLFRIEND... Her name is Stacey. I just wished that Oliver would stop talking about her all the time. It makes me want to stab him. I just wished that my mama was with me right now. I would tell her everything, and she would tell me the right thing to do. I missed her so much, but she is dead. I don't know why Daddy doesn't like talking about it, but I said it. She's DEAD. She's right above us, in Heaven. I wanted to see her so much, but the only way to see her was when I die. Oh Mom. I miss those days when you read The Book Of Fairy Tales to the whole family. It was our favorite thing to do together. But no one is as good at reading as my mom. I loved how her tone changed for each character, never making any of us fall asleep.

I took out the dusty old book from my shelf, and blew the dust off it. I read the first page, remembering them clearly from exactly 5 years ago. I turned the page to smile at the memory, but the next thing I knew was that my face was dripping with... tears.

I closed the book and shoved it under my bed, and then climbed into it to fall asleep. I kept thinking, Oh... Mom, I wish that you would come back. Nothing is the same without you...

Soon I fell asleep, with a big fat tear rolling down my cheek.

A/N: Sorry Guys, for the short chapter! I'll work more on it in the next chapter... Hope you liked!
