Hey guys this is something new. I'm still writing New Lives & Lost Friends, but the idea for this story popped into my head, so let me know what you think of this.
My life is perfect or so I thought. I live in a huge house in Manhattan with my parents. I'm an only child which I've always seen as a huge plus. I've grown up getting everything I wanted and always had the best of everything. I didn't know any better. Dance, gymnastics, cheerleading lessons, the best prep schools, nicest clothes and jewelry. When I turned sixteen I got a brand new Mercedes-Benz SUV, even though I only had my permit. I turned seventeen four months ago, my birthday is May 8th. I had an amazing boyfriend, Jake Ryland; he's only five months older then me. My parents kicked me out, a month after my seventeenth birthday when I found out I was pregnant. The loaded up my car without me even knowing. They gave me half the money I would have received on my twenty-first birthday and left me in an apartment; they just dumped me in some random apartment building. I remember like it was yesterday.
My dad told me he was taking my car for an oil change, told me to get dressed that my mom wanted to take me shopping. I threw on a new outfit I had bought the day before, ran the straightener threw my dark brown locks and applied my makeup. I walked down the steps to the main floor, grabbed a light coat and walked out the front door. Not knowing that, that would be the last time I would ever stand in that house. I saw that my mother had chosen to take the driver rather than actually drive, so I hoped in the back seat of one of our many town cars. I heard my mother telling the driver, that we would be going to the usual shopping centers as I put my headphones into my ears and turned on my iPod. My mom bought me a few new outfits and pairs of shoes and boots. My mom told me she had to make one last stop to see a friend before we returned home. We pulled up in a parking lot of an apartment complex. I thought I saw my car but I just shook it off. We took the elevator to the 4th floor, went to apartment 4B. My dad answered the door and I became very confused. My mom told me to take a seat on the couch, and then they both came over and sat on the couch opposite me.
My dad then told me that this was my apartment, that all of my stuff filled the rooms of this apartment and that there were still a few more boxes of my stuff in my car. He handed me an envelope, he said that it held all my new banking information. Then my mom began to speak and she said,
"We are sorry but we can't deal with this. People knowing that our seventeen year old daughter is pregnant will badly wreck our image in society. We can't live like this, we thought if we raised you right that you wouldn't take on the actions of your mother—"
"But you are my mother."
"Taylor are adopted; your mother had you when she was sixteen. She wanted a better life for you but we didn't sign up for this. So we are cutting you off, your father made you a new banking account it holds half of your trust fund. You will live here; it's paid for the first two years. As of tonight you will be off our phone plan, your number will be switched but you can keep that phone. We will pay for your new plan for the first two years as well. We wish you the best of luck."
Taylor just sat there, she didn't get up she just watched them walk out the door and out of her life. They didn't even try to make it work with her they just gave up. Their words kept replaying in her head, the word that stood out the most was ADOPTED. She was adopted, she had two biological parents out there that she had never met. She picked up her cell phone and called her boyfriend after a few rings it went to his voicemail. Tears started to form in her eyes, she felt she had no one to turn to or talk to. Taylor felt her phone vibrating in her hand, she looked down to see that she had one new text message. She opened her phone and a smile formed across her lips as she saw that it was from Jake. Her smile slowly faded as she read his text.
I'm sorry but we can't see each other anymore, a baby would ruin my life and my parents said that they would take away my car and trust fund if I continued to see you. I'm sorry, I really am. Good luck in life.
Tears fell from her eyes as she read and reread the text from Jake. She couldn't believe her boyfriend had just left her through a text message. Her life had just changed drastically in a matter of minutes; she knew it would never be the same.
Olivia continued to laugh and scream as Elliot pinned her down to the couch and tickled her. They had been together for about two months but to them it felt like years. Elliot continued to tickle her, and then brought his mouth down to hers. They kissed slow and soft then fast and passionately. Before long they were making love, afterwards they were tangled in each other. They fell asleep in each other's embraces.
It was around three am, when they woke up to the sound of Elliot's phone going off. It was Kathy.
"Hello…Sorry Kathy, I caught a case as I was leaving, I didn't have time to call you…I'm on my way home now…Yes I'll take Eli and the twins, see you in a few. Bye."
"You have to leave."
"Liv, please don't be ma—"
"El, I'm not I knew you were married when we started this, I just, I don't know anymore."
"Liv, I love you and that's all that matters."
"I love you too."
Elliot pulled Olivia into hug, gave her a kiss goodbye and said that he would see her at work. Olivia walked him to the door and once he was gone, she got in the shower. She stood under the shower head as the water poured down on her, while her own tears ran down her face. She was in love with a married man and she had no idea where they really stood.
Reviews? What do you think of this? Should I keep it going?
