Alright, everybody listen up! This is a story that has been swimming in my mind for like ages! I want to turn it into a book, but wanted some good criticism first. So please, critique it all you want, just remember that this really has nothing to do with Gossip Girl. So please don't go on and on about how my characters are off, my characters are really based off people I know not from the CW. So that's the only thing I ask dear readers! Anyhow, please give me all your advice, I welcome it! Enjoy- and I present: Love and Lies!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story line.
Prologue
The water caressed and licked my skin as I sunk deeper into the ocean. I was floating, totally completely oblivious to everything except the burning in my eyes and the blueness of the water. It was a truly beautiful scene to behold. I had always imagined that it would feel like this, a peaceful going. It was strange sensation that was coming over me, that this is where I had always belonged. This is the place where I was free. Free, a word that rang through my being and sits deliciously on my lips.
My whole has always been dictated for me, what school I would attend, what friends I could have, how I should dress, what parties I needed to go to, what man I should date and later who I would marry. Funny thing being in the twenty-first century where one should be able to choose, being upper class citizen came with a price.
All I ever wanted in my life was to be free, free to decide the kind of person I would be, who I would become. Of course, this was all fantasy, a dream. I had tasted freedom and now I am addicted, the first bite of the forbidden apple. I've had enough with petty ideologies, shackled by money, slavery to one's family's obsessions, a mindless robot who only says and does what one tells her to do or say, I've had enough. Everything I have ever believed in turned out to be a lie, my family turned out to be a lie, and the ones I believed were my friends turned out to be nothing more than dogs with wavering loyalties depending on the size of your wallet.
It only took one man, one decision, and one summer to shake the very foundations of everything I believed in to crumble down. I remember the very first time I saw him, the beginning of the end. So, yes, if this is the price of freedom I will gladly take it.
Never knew drowning would feel so beautiful.
