Eyes of a stranger

A/N: My first fanfic so it is probably rubbish but I was bored and felt like doing a story anyway. Hope it is okay and please review to tell me if it is good/bad.

Prologue

Mr and Mrs Ashley had a perfectly normal life. They had been to normal school's in England before moving onto University where they met and settled down to have a life together. They were very happy together and on the 31st July 1987 happily welcomed two beautiful and healthy twin girls into this world. They were delighted by the news and vowed to each other that they would give the girls the best possible chance in life that they could.

Despite, their beliefs that nothing could destroy the immense happiness that they were feeling, it was not to last. Just one year after the birth of Megan and Lara Ashford, Mrs Ashford was violently attacked and stabbed on the way home from work. Despite the desperate attempts from doctors and nurses to save her, unfortunately, Mrs Ashford died later that day in hospital. Mr Ashford tried his best to carry on with life as normal as possible through court cases and trails. However inside he was struggling to do all of this, as well as keeping hold of his job and looking after his two children. Eventually he found that this was all too much for him to do and decided that the children being with him was not going to get them the best opportunities in life. It was then that his mind went back to the vow he had made with his wife and felt that if he didn't do something then he would be letting her down. It was a hard decision to make but due o there being no other family members he felt that despite his love for them the only option was to give them up for adoption.

The decision that he had made that day would go on to effect both Megan and Lara's life forever. However this is not a story of Mr Ashford and the decision he made. It is the effect that decision had on Megan's life that will give us our story.

A/N: Sorry if you don't like the decision that Mr Ashford made or think that it is completely unrealistic but it was the only thing I could do to make the story work without killing both of the parents. I felt that it would be better if one of the parents was still in the picture for later on in the story.
