Well I can't stay gone for long folks! This is my second story and I hope you'll like it. Please review, it would mean the world to me!
Disclaimer: I'm going to put this at the very beginning and hope it works for all chapters, I don't own South or the characters, except for ones that I make up.
A/N: I'm basing this story off of One Day, Robots Will Cry by Cobra Starship. The whole song is great, but I got inspiration from one specific part: When you were young you kept a list, of the things you'd miss as you got older
Chapter 1: Notebook #1
When I was younger I thought I knew exactly who I was. I thought that I knew who I wanted to be. I thought I knew what the future would bring. I had it all figured out. The key word in all of this is thought. What I thought was wrong. Life doesn't happen how you plan it. It is just taking me a long time to figure that out. I'm 23 years old and everything is changing.
"Spencer would you put that notebook down. Seriously you are always writing in that thing!"
"Sorry, Mel I just have a lot on my mind. You know it helps me relax. There could be a lot worse things for me to do to relax."
"Yeah, yeah I know. At least you're not some alcoholic or something. I just wish you would let me read it sometime. I mean really what could be so secretive about a little journal?"
I just looked at her. She knows that I don't share my notebook, but won't stop asking to read it. She brings it up almost once or twice a month. I know that I'm supposed to be open with her because we are together, but she has to realize that there are just some things that I need to keep to myself.
"Ok so let's go out tonight or something. I'm sick of just staying home."
I was lost in my thoughts and must not have heard her talking to me.
"Hey Spence! Earth to Spencer!"
"Wha… sorry I'm paying attention. Where do you want to go?" I know where she wants to go. She wants to go to Reds, a bar that is supposed to be the next hottest thing. The only thing it doesn't have is the ability to actually be hot… it's pretty lame actually.
"Reds! I want to go to Reds! We haven't gone in like a month. Please?!"
"Ok fine we can go. Just give me like a half hour to get ready."
Mel jumped up and hugged me. She knows I don't like going to that place, but like everything else she insists on dragging me out of my comfort zone.
As Mel skipped off to the bedroom to change I reopened my notebook, flipping right to page one. This was my list. The list of what I miss as I get older.
#1: Ashley
My number one reason is her. The main reason I wish I never had to grow up.
Ok, so I know this chapter is really short but I wanted to just try it out. Should I continue? Let me know what you think!!
