Okay!
Last chapter was not my best. I didn't like it…

And I only got like 2 reviews for it…
So, I decided I'd take a whack at another chapter, for 2 reasons. 1) I suddenly have an urge to write this, as I have a good idea for it! 2) I felt I owed you another chapter.

BUT

I'd really like more reviews for this chapter. Like, seriously.

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine. Boo-hoo :(

Our Love Story

White Lies

"Aww!" Hannah cried, "Why won't Penny go back to Link, Grams?"

I sighed, hugging Hannah tightly. It had been almost one hour and a half since I began this story. Hannah's parents would be home soon.

"Pumpkin, you really should be in bed…"
"No!" Hannah exclaimed, snuggling tightly into me, "I wanna know what happens! Will Penny marry that bad man?"

I laughed, "Seaweed wasn't a bad man, love,"

"But he's still not Link!"
I felt my smile grow, "And that's exactly what Penny felt, Hans. Okay, the day after she and Link kissed, Penny took the day off school…"

…to be honest, she had never felt worse in her entire life, and not because of an illness. She felt guilty! She kissed Link, when Seaweed loved her so much! God knows what would've happened had Amber not caught them.

Penny shuddered at the thought of actually cheating on Seaweed; and he was such a lovely boy.

Penny surveyed her ring and sighed. It was beautiful. It may not be particularly huge, or glamorous, but it was hers.

She looked around Maybelle's living room. The whole family were being brilliant too her, but she was still a sinner. Suddenly, Penny felt a pang of homesickness; she would've loved her mother's jump rope right now, because they always made her feel less guilty! She was too busy wondering why her mother was such a whack job…

Why did he have to kiss Tracy? Why? Why couldn't she go back to when it was simple, and easy, and they were just two people manically in love?

Penny sighed and leant her head back against the sofa armrest, humming softly to herself.

She had Ladies' Choice in her head, the song he'd been singing when Tracy got the job on The Corny Collins' Show.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!

Why, whenever she pictured Link, was Tracy not far off??

Then it occurred to Penny.

She didn't know Link outside of Tracy.

They'd always been together.

Penny groaned loudly. How could she love someone she didn't know so much it hurt?

"It isn't fair!" Penny suddenly yelled, covering her face with her hands.

She then leapt to her feet and tore off her engagement ring, throwing it at the wall. It bounced off and hit the floor. She then grabbed a jacket and headed out the door.

Lionel Larkin usually had very quiet days.

He'd get up…

Read his paper and eat breakfast…

Go to work…

Come back and eat dinner…

And go to bed.

Today was a slight exception. His daughter, Loretta, was ill and since his wife Lilly had gone out of town for the week to see her sister, who had just had a baby, the child-caring duty was up to him!
Lor's fever her gone down, and she was asleep in her room, so Lionel was using this opportunity to read his newspaper when…

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Lionel resisted the urge to groan loudly as he got to his feet and trudged to the door. He was surprised to see a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl (about his son, Link's age) standing there, biting her lip worriedly.

"Hello. Is L-Link Larkin i-in?" she stuttered.

Lionel shook his head, "No, sorry, he's at school…where I imagine you should be too, sweetheart,"
The girl checked her watch and nodded, "Right, right! Stupid me…"
"Who are you?" Lionel asked.

"Penny Pingleton," the girl replied.

PENNY didn't really know why she suddenly decided to come to Link's house. She wanted to talk to him, but, it was half one…stupid her…

"Penny?" Mr. Larkin muttered, "Oh! I've heard a lot about you!"

Penny gulped worriedly, "Oh…"

"Yep. 'Oh…'" he said, "You left my boy for a Negro a couple of days ago, I heard,"

Penny felt her face redden, "Erm…I really need to talk to Link, is there a chance I can come back later or…?"

"No," Mr. Larkin said bluntly, cutting her off, "I think you'd best not, Miss Pingleton. Just leave my boy alone."

"No, wait!" Penny yelled as he began to close the door. She had to be able to come back!

Then, she made a mistake. She screamed the first thing that came to her head just as he was about to close the door.

"I'm pregnant!"

The door paused for a minute, and creaked open slowly. Penny's eyes widened when she saw how white Mr. Larkin's face was. Just as she was about to repent her lie, he uttered four words.

"I'm gonna kill 'im,"

Yeah. :D

PLEASE REVIEW OR I'LL GET SEAWEED AND PENNY BACK TOGETHER!!
