Perfect Lies
Chapter One
“Let’s GO, Ashlyn!” Mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs
“I’m coming!” I yell back, looking at myself in the mirror one last time. I grabbed my purse of my door handle and stomp down the stairs in my new gladiators.
“It’s about time. We’re only going to the mall.” Mom said.
“Yeah, only the mall we can’t be late for anything,” I replied with a grin.
“Oh, shut up and get in the car.” Mom replied happily.
****************************************
I remember when mom was like that. Nice, young, pretty. Nothing could stop her. When her and dad spit up, things got bad. She drank a lot and once she started, she never stopped. During the divorce trail Dad got full custody of me. Life was good again and I never thought about going back to Mom ever. Until Dad got a letter from work. They requested that he moved to France or lose his job. At first I was so excited, I get to move to France!
“Honey, I need to talk to you.” Dad said sadly.
“Yeah?” I ask wondering what was wrong.
“Well, you see, with me working there I wouldn’t be home very often and I don’t want you to be alone there all the time. So, you can’t come with me. I’m so sorry baby but you just can’t come with me.”
“But can’t you just quit your job?” I ask, close the tears.
“With the economy I can’t afford to lose this job, that last thing I want to do is leave you but I have no choice.”
“Dad, I can go! I don’t mind being alone!” I plead, tears streaming down my cheeks.
“No honey, I can’t do that to you.”
“Wait, where will I go?”
“Everyone else is too far away for you to go, I want you to stay in school here so…”
“So what?”
“You’re going to stay at your mothers.”
Sorry for not writing for so long! :(
