This is What I've Done
Chapter 1
(There is no prologue.)

     “See, Anya? This place isn’t that bad,” my mother said cheerfully at my side.
     I stood facing my new home with a large box in my arms. Who would want to live in the middle of nowhere after living in the heart of New York City? My parents, that’s who. I hated this place already and I wanted to go home. I voiced this to my mother.
     “You are home,” my father growled at me as he walked into the house with three boxes. He disappeared into the house before I could say anything.
     “Ah, good old Dad,” I said sarcastically. “Always the sunshine in my rain clouds.”
     “He’s just upset about last month,” my mother’s kind smile had hardened into a fine line, nearly making her lips vanish.
     I sighed heavily. “He just needs to let that go,” I said, and walked into the house. I ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. I discarded my box onto my bed and wandered my way to my window. I had the greatest view of the trees—red, orange, and yellow from the cold, October air—and through them I could just barely make out a creek. Sure, it was pretty, but it wasn’t New York City. I sighed, and turned around, only to find my little sister, Allie, standing in my doorway. “What do you want?” I snapped.
    “You really shouldn’t hate Mom and Dad so much. It is all your fault that we’re here. You do know that, right?” she said, crossing her arms and leaning on my door.
     I ignored her.
     “If only you hadn’t—“ she began.
     “Don’t say it!” I yelled. “I know what I did, and I don’t need you to tell me again. I’ve heard enough from the judge. I’ve heard enough from Mom and Dad. Just shut up, and go away!”
     “Fine. But you know what you did, and you should just realize it already.” And then she was gone. I felt a little bad about snapping at her, but she just needs to let bygones be bygones.



Author's Note: I don't know about this story, but would you guys be willing to read it if I continued? I wrote the basic story line of it as a short story for English class, and my mom said it was good enough to make a novel out of it. So, imma try it out. Please tell me what you think, and fav it if you actually read it. Thanks!!
