Deirdre Begley stood up quietly, from kneeling next to her Mother's grave. She knew that this would be the last time she would be here. When she turned away, one single tear rolled down her cheek, she didn't want to go but she knew she had to. Her Mother would have wanted her to, life had never been easy for them, but when her mother died Deirdre's life turned into a nightmare. She walked to the train station to buy a ticket, she had swiped some of her father's money to pay for it. She bought a ticket to Manhattan, New York, then found a seat at the back of the train. She had tried to disguise herself, by putting on black pants, a dark green blouse, boots, and an old hat, with her hair down under it, a completely different wardrobe then she would normally wear. But no one would recognize her anyways, she hadn't been allowed to leave her yard in years. She decided to try and sleep on the train. She had time, Boston was a good ways from New York. But she couldn't sleep, she kept thinking about the life she leaving behind.
Her mother, Aeryn Catherwood, had grown up in Manhattan. Her father, Aidan Begley, was from Ireland. He left at sixteen, because his childhood had been a horrible one. His father was an alcoholic, who abused him, his mother also did. He left on a boat and came to New York, there he also became an alcoholic. He found a job that took him to Manhattan, and there he met, Aeryn. They soon enough fell in love. Her mother had been a strong Christian, because her parents were originally from Ireland also, and Aidan stopped drinking under her influence. After they courted for a year, he asked her to marry him. When she asked for her parents permission, they refused her. They weren't the richest family in Manhattan, but their name held some standard, and they didn't want her marrying some no name, who they know nothing about. Besides the fact that he had run away from his home in Ireland, had been a poor alcoholic. But like many other young couples they went against her parents, and eloped. They ran away to Boston, where he got a new job. They were not yet married a year when Aeryn, told Aidan, they were going to have a baby. Aidan was not happy about this, he hated the idea of children, and remembering what went on in his childhood made him hate them even more. He thought children were just things that caused trouble and that no one loved them. Thinking about this and his own childhood made him so furious that he started drinking, again, and taking his anger out on his wife and new daughter. Though Deirdre wasn't loved or wanted by her father, her mother loved her dearly. They would talk about everything, Aeryn taught her that not everyone was like her father, that there were good men in the world. And that deep down Aidan was a good man, he was just hurt and confused. Her mother died when Deirdre was only eleven, many people said that Aidan was the reason of his wife's early death, and sadly Deirdre was one of them. But Aeryn loved Aidan till the very end of her life. After her mothers death, Deirdre's life was awful. But she put up with it for three and a half years. Then two days ago she knew it was time to leave, she just couldn't put up with her father any longer. So she left Boston to go find her mothers parents, in Manhattan, New York.
Thinking about this Deirdre fell asleep for a couple hours, but it seemed like she just shut her eye's when the conductor yelled. "Manhattan, New York!" She got up and walked out of the train with a smile. Her she was finally away from Boston and her father! She would find her grandparents, she just had to!
Hope you liked it. I'll post the second chapter soon. Please Review!
