I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. This is a story I've been planning out in my mind
for a few months now. I think I'm finally ready to write it.
Simplicity
Chapter One: Dedications
~Lizzie POV~
After everything I've done and everything I've been through, I have but few regrets. I know life isn't perfect and I realize that everyone makes mistakes, but I never realized the mistakes would have so much affect on me. I didn't even do anything! I wasn't the one who made the mistake. I wasn't the one who caused so much pain and heartbreak for everyone. I was just simply a person affected by it. I was just simply being a daughter.
This is exactly why I have no regrets. In fact, I am thankful for the family I have and the people I am proud to call my friends. Sometimes I feel like they are all I have, and in a time of crisis, I definitely think that this is true.
Anyway, as a senior project our teacher asked up to write a story. It could either be true or made up, but the objective was to tell it how it is and not how it should have been and a story that could make a difference in someone's life.
This is why I dedicate this story to two people. First of all, my father because in the past few years, our family has been through a lot and he has changed my life. The second person I would like to dedicate this to is quite possibly the best friend someone could ever have. He stuck with me when time was tough and I felt like no one else was paying attention to my life. He got me through most of my high school years undamaged and while all of my friends are very important to me and have all made some sort of difference in my life, he was special. His name is David Gordon.
One thing I would like to make clear before I tell my story is that although I love my father and will always support him, I don't approve of some of the actions he committed. He made some bad choices and had bad consequences. Sure, he shouldn't have gotten in that car and drove after he had been drinking, but he did. Unfortunately, we can't take away the past. We can only go into the future with a dash of hope that things can get better. I have learned more throughout this whole ordeal than I wanted to, but in the end, I think the most important lessons I learned were based on friendship.
This is for you, Gordo. This story is all for you.
Thank you for being my Amazing Grace.
***I will update as soon as possible. Please tell me what you think. Also, this story will from this point on be told in a third person point of view.***
