AUTHOR: Kayla (Penname: jocelynrose)
SUMMARY: This is the story is Lydia, the blonde who catches Nick's heart with a little help from Norah. Sibling story to STORY OF AN ENIGMA. (STORY ID: 1184192)
Chapter One: A History Lesson
She was a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty who came to Vegas to escape the shadow life of her beautiful, perfect older sister, Mia. Lydia fled the high school graduation ceremony before she even made an appearance at her family's party. She drove as far as her old, piece-of-crap Horizon would take her. Remarkably, though, she made it to Las Vegas. Nevada was her home state, but she wanted a change of scenery.
Unlike Mia, her parent's pride and joy, Lydia wanted a break from her education. Her parents weren't very supportive Lydia's senior year when she announced she wanted to be a writer. Lydia couldn't help it, she wasn't attempting to go into a field or college like that of her sister Mia, who double-majored in medical engineering and doctoring, while also double- minoring in dance and vocal and instrumental music. Lydia constantly had to live up to her sister's progress in academics and extracurricular activities.
It wasn't that Lydia was shy, actually she was quite outgoing and popular. Lydia didn't enjoy dance lessons or music; she enjoyed being at the library and earning her Gold and Silver Awards in Girl Scouts - something Mia couldn't manage to accomplish, but Lydia's mom and dad didn't seem to notice.
Lydia's love life was a totally different story. Mia had been engaged six times, while Lydia suffered a love life as a solo. Lydia knew her Mr. Right was out there. She guessed you had to be patient and wait. Lydia must have turned guys off with her ability to be herself. Lydia did fall in love once - she wrote him a poem, a short story, and a bunch of other literary masterpieces. This guy - turned out to be her English teacher.
Mia went to her senior ball, Lydia her junior prom. Mia ended up getting drunk and pregnant. Lydia ended up driving her home after se discovered Jimmy Meyers and Mia totally living it up. Lydia didn't say a work to her parents until her parents discovered the positive pregnancy test.
Lydia was confronted. "Lydia, can you explain this?" Her father asked angrily.
"What makes you think it is mine?"
"You're the only daughter stupid enough to ruin our reputation in this way."
Tears streamed down Lydia's face as she responded. "Well, it's not mine - it's Mia's. She has also gotten drunk, and she smokes pot on a regular basis. And that makes ME stupid?"
Lydia had had it. That was the last straw. Mia had an abortion and it was back to normal: Mia perfect and beautiful as Lydia stood in the shadows.
