Hello again! I am starting another story, and hopefully, I will finish this one! But I am devoting my time to this story, because it's for a friend. She loves House of Anubis! Any who, this story is a bit based off of "The Only Exception" by Paramore, but not completely. The prologue will be a flashback of Nina's past… Enjoy!
Update – 2/11/13: This has officially been edited! Damn, right up there it says I was devoting my time… And this is the only chapter written for this story! I got so many different projects right now, and I did then, I completely forgotten about a lot of my stories! But I am planning on finishing a lot of them this year, including this one! I'm pretty much looking at which ones are the most popular, then bringing those back. So huzzah!
Description: Nina never understood the meaning of love. Her parents had always fought with each other when they were alive. She didn't think love existed, until she met Fabian Rutter. But her mind keeps reminding her of the pain and sorrow her parents went she move on from her parents' past, so she can finally experience love itself?
Prologue
11 year ago…
"Mommy, look! I found a daisy in the backyard for you!" I exclaimed excitedly, beginning to jump up and down. I loved going outside, searching for flowers to give to her. I always heard her screaming at my dad, telling him that he should be buying her flowers. So, I took it on myself to get her flowers.
She glanced over at me, and hushed me, returning to her phone call. Why wouldn't she take my flower? Maybe she didn't like it.
Or maybe it was just me she didn't like…
"But Mommy, I picked this flower just for you!" I pouted, crossing my arms. I heard her groan, and she grabbed the flower out of my hand, setting it on the counter. It was going to die, doesn't she know that flowers need water to live, just like humans?
"Mommy, it's going to die!" I yelled softly.
"NINA! SHUSH!" She bellowed, before flying out of the room, an angry expression across her face. I sadly grabbed a cup from the cabinet, and filled it with water. I gazed at the flower for a bit, before letting out a large sigh. I would care for this flower if she didn't. I wouldn't let it die. I would make sure it lived forever.
I heard the door slam open, and I quickly got out of my chair. Daddy was home! I hastily rushed downstairs, and ran over to him.
"Daddy, you're home, finally!" I chirped, as I tried to give him a hug. He grunted, and pushed me away. He gave me a look of pure disgust, and went into his study, where he would probably be for the rest of the night. Why didn't he want to talk to me? I saw my mom follow him, so I decided to go listen in on them.
"We can't afford that, Mallory! What can't you understand?" My dad's voice stated loud and clearly.
"But I need a laptop for my work!" My mom replied, just as loud. She sounded really mad, why couldn't my daddy get her a laptop? She needed it for work!
"You can use the computer at the library for FREE!" My dad shouted. I peeked in, seeing my dad about to slap my mom.
"DON'T!" I screamed, and they both looked over at me, both of their faces becoming bright red with anger. I shouldn't have listened, but I've always wondered what my parents talked about in there… Is that what my father did? Did he hurt my mom?
My dad walked over to me, and I could his flat hands turn into fists. I took a big step back, but my dad gripped my wrist. I could see the anger flashing through his eyes, making me jump slightly. What was he doing to do to me?
"Were you listening, Nina?" My dad asked softly, as if he was trying to hide the rage inside him.
"Yeah, but-"
Saying that much was senseless.
That was just a quick prologue, and flashback to show what Nina's life was when she was little. Please review and chapter 1 will be up soon!
Update – 2/11/13: All done with editing! I cut the part out with Gran, we already know about that part anyways! It's pretty obvious, due to the show… But whatever! There will be more explaining in the first chapter! But did the editing help a bit? I didn't want to rewrite it, but the next chapter will be more detailed, as I have grown as a writer since then :)
