Hello everyone! It's Meghan with a new story, hopefully I can complete this one. Haha enjoy! :)
"You'll never leave me, right?" She asked. Tears welled in her hazel eyes.
"I will never leave you, no matter what." The boy wiped away a stray tear.
She sniffed, "Promise?"
"Promise." A smile grew on both of their faces.
That was five years ago. The two aren't the same people. The once you, vibrant, and charming ten year old girl became cold and distant. Her names was Leila Night. The boy was Percy Jackson, Leila's best friend since birth. After Percy's promise, she went to visit him the following day only to find it abandoned. He didn't even say goodbye. Percy Jackson broke his promise.
From that day on, Leila made a promise to herself to not let her heart go unguarded. Each day became a struggle for the young girl. At school she would wander the halls vulnerable to the hatred of her peers. Home was a different story. One would think the home is a safe haven. Not for Leila. Every night her father would make his way home completely wasted. He began to do things to her, unthinkable things that should not be repeated. The only good thing that came out in her life was when her father passed out on the couch in the living room. Leila would lay on the roof overhang below her window and watch the stars. Sometimes the thought of Percy would cross her mind, but it would always maker her angrier that before.
Her father has always been an alcoholic, at least as long as Leila has known. When she was younger her father would beat her and Percy would be there with arms wide open. Leila made him promise not to tell a soul. She still believes all the hurtful things he's done to her was out of love. Leila doesn't know if Percy kept his promise. If her didn't keep the one that meant the most to her, probably not.
There was no mother to protect her all those times. Her father said that she abandoned them. If this was truth, she didn't know. She only knew one thing about her mother and that was that she had auburn hair like Leila. She made a wish every night that one day she would see her mother. Even if it was for only one minute, she would be greatful.
Leila Night has always had an unusual life, but it's only going to get stranger.
So how did you like it? Good? Bad? Want to throw a rock at me? Okay, don't do that, but please review! :)
