During high school my mom-Rosie- and my father-Blake- had loves each other for the longest time. During my moms junior year she decided to elope with my dad and later had me during her senior year. They had decided on the name Jackie Rose Elliot since Jack was my Grandpa's name and rose was part of my mothers name. During my early years I grew up in a German manor: walls of bricks, stone cold floors with a wood polished print, but I still never loved this life. Sure everyone would want what I have, but I didn't want materialistic things... I wanted a Friend. And even though I loved my life it still sucked that the one guy who actually didn't judge me couldn't be my friend and I didn't realize why until my 18th birthday.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where it all went wrong:
On the anniversary of my birth I lost my only friend. That morning I had woken up to my mother's soothing voice," Little one. It's time to get up, I set out some clothes go and get dressed. Your father and I will be waiting down stairs." of course I listened, I got up and got dressed into the clothes set out. She left a plaid beige and black skirt with a white under shirt and to put of a beige almost corseted top. After I but on the silky coffee like outfit I but on my plain socks and lacey black boots.
As I was about to leave out of the door I locked around making sure I wasn't forgetting anything, but I later realized I had. And that something would mean a lot to me in the future. I gracefully walked down the eerie stairwell and set down at the long elegant wood table with my parents waiting for my only guest. Once they had walked again all I could remember was yelling. Him and me tried to reach for each other but our fathers dragged us away. His out the door and mine up the stairwell again. I still recall my fathers bitter last words to me that day and well they stuck with me for 11 years.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Overflow of memories and the truth:
Your forbade from seeing that boy ever again, no questions asked I just listened. After that incident I was home schooled and trained by my father when I wasn't doing school work. I was my fathers prodigy. A smart young lass who could kill someone in the blink of an eye, but was this what I really wanted. I starred back at the pendent on my deer antler and red moon lap, my gold bracelet still laid there. It always made me wonder why I wouldn't see him again. It's honestly been so long that I forgot his name all I know was that it started with an L.
After wallowing for another five minutes I finally moved my legs over the side of my bed; getting up to get ready. I got ready to go for a stroll in the town again, my mother needed supplies for tonight's dinner and I had offered to go get them, but that wasn't the reason I was going for a walk. The real reason was -well- I needed a break to just read one of my books. Not the ones my mother and father supply me with for school work. Before I got my bag ready to leave I had to get dressed I starred at the plain closet and grabbed a few clothes that would match and be casual, but comfortable for a walk. Then I tied up my long brown hair with a small ribbon, and grabbed my bag. And off to town I went.

Railroad tracks and a familiar yet mysterious face:
The town was full of elegance, and a mess of noise. Trains passing on the near by tracks, screeches could be heard as they stopped. Latter emitted into the air; messy screams of children where heard as the ran by her so quickly that they almost knocked her over. She sighed, although she wasn't an introvert she still liked to keep a low profile if possible (ya' know cause of family ranks in the mafia business) Whilst she was dazed into an alternate universe a jolt woke her up again.
Due to the sudden shock of motion she hunched forward. Spinning around to see a familiar, but mysterious and unknown face. She couldn't understand why it felt like she knew him, but she couldn't stay and ponder. After apologizing she picked up the sour dough bread, and oat milk and headed on her way to the spot where she could find peace and comfort. Because the town was small it was still busy and loud. Her only escape was on top of the brick wall covered in vined flowers and so she read until dusk. She head back, but when she got back she was shocked by what dinner with her family had beheld for her. Would she get the truth? Only time would tell...
