Disclaimer: The characters... nothing in this story is mine, alrighty then?
lol. Also, I haven't read the book in a long time so if I make any stupid
mistakes, please do not hesitate to correct me...
Papa always said I was special. I never believed him though. Who would when all he could talk about was the first Audrina? Who would believe him when his eyes still sparkled whenever he even remotely thought of the first and best Audrina? Maybe he was to blame for who I am now, maybe not. One fact stands though... he was the one who filled me with the jealousy and hate toward the perfect Audrina.
Papa always made me feel like either I would be like his 'first' daughter or I would be nothing at all. Him and that rocking chair. What a combination to make a child deeply scarred for life. These thoughts still swirled in my head as I thought of that fateful day when I found out the truth. I wasn't his second best daughter after all. I was his first and precious Audrina. The second daughter behind Vera and all those deceitful lies. I nearly went mad when I found out the truth. All that jealousy and anger wasn't aimed at my 'sister' after all, it all went to ME! I hated me for ruining my own childhood! I hated me for making papa love the other me instead of the present me!
I still remember how I had ran out in the pouring rain to prove that there was someone in the first Audrina's grave. I was out to prove that my papa was once again, just trying to deceive me. How wrong I was! Arden was with me and I recall grieving with him. But Arden was a male... bad bad bad. I had hated all the male population, even the one I was married to and had sworn to be with through the good and the bad.
There were only a certain number of lies a person could take and I had had my share and more. I was so close to leaving all this behind and perhaps start a new beginning but when I was about to leave in the car papa had just given me, Sylvia had to look out from the window and stare at me with those haunting eyes. The very same eyes that demanded me to stay and stay the rest of my life in the house that I dreaded. However, I wasn't strong enough to resist them and here I am, back where I started.
