So here it is! Chapter one of my new fanfic, selected by you lot. The idea entitled 'The Letter' comes into this chapter. Jessie reads the letter and...hold on - read to find out!
She found it behind a baby photo of herself in the arms of her mother. Though she was only 20, having a child had been a dream. She was so beautiful. With curly red locks just like her own. They were almost identical. She`s currently the same age as the woman in the photo. Her mother. They could be twins. But the accident she fond herself experiencing was drastic, ending her life at the age of 33. Her daughter was 13 at the time. She found it behind the photo. A letter. She tore open the envelope and read it`s contents. It read:
"Dearest Jessie,
I am writing to inform you about your mother. She died in a car accident when you were 13. I have sent you a photograph of the two of you together. I hope you grow up to be just like her. She worked for a military base with me, but that changed when she died. I now own my own military base, as you know. Your mother married well, as you know as well! I hope you`re like your mother. Your mother however did do something unbelievable when she turned 20. She was desperate for a child, but nobody wanted to marry her. Then she did the unbelievable thing. She forced me to...well, have you. I am so sorry Jessie. I want you to be like your mother, but do not do what she did to me. I wanted to have a child, but not out of force. I never wanted to marry your mother, but after she was pregnant with my baby, I decided to marry her. If you have any queries about this information, please come to Texas and ask me in person.
Best wishes, dad."
Jessie couldn`t believe what she had just read. And she did have some questions for her father. Jessie buried her head in her hands just as Emma entered the living room from the screening room.
"Jessie?" She asked. "Are you okay?"
"Of course Emma." Jessie said. Emma moved to sit on the sofa, noticing the letter.
"What`s this?" She asked.
"It`s a letter from my dad. He wrote it a few years ago, but I just found it." Jessie explained.
"Where?" Emma asked. Jessie produced the photograph of herself and her mother.
"Behind this photo." Jessie said.
"Who`s the baby?" Emma asked.
"That`s me." Said Jessie.
"Wait, but if the baby`s you, then who`s the woman?" Asked Emma.
"That`s my mum." Said Jessie.
"You two look so alike! How old is she in the photo?"
"She was 20. My age." Jessie said, sounding slightly upset.
"You sound upset. Are you sure you`re okay?" Emma asked.
"Well, the letter told me some horrible information about my mum. How she forced my dad into having me." Jessie said.
"That`s horrible." Emma said.
"She died in a car accident aged 33." Jessie said sadly.
"Sorry Jessie." Emma said.
"That`s alright Emma. The letter was from my dad, and he said if any of my questions were unanswered, then I should go to the military base and ask him in person." Jessie exclaimed.
"So, do you have any questions to ask him?" Emma asked.
"Actually, yes, I do." Jessie said.
"So..."
"Yes Emma, we need to go to Texas and ask him."
Sorry it`s short, but this is the part with the letter. Jessie getting married will be revealed later, because the two ideas about the letter and the marriage do link, and you`ll find out how soon. The next chapter will be set in Texas, where Jessie asks her father questions about her mother. An important character will make an appearance too. A very important character. So stay tuned, as the next chapter will be up soon. It could be later on today, tomorrow, next week, I don`t know! But it will be up! I want your ideas for the story too, as I may run out of ideas! You will get a shout out if I use your idea! Keep reading, and spread the word of this new fanfic!
