Faith, a Mormons Story

What just happened!!

A/N So my new story is about Lily. She is a Mormon and is 17. Her life is no where near easy or perfect. This story is fiction, none of this has ever happened to me. Anyway, I hope you like my story.

...Lily's pov...

My mom is never there for me. I am ignored for ever. But it wasn't always like this. We were the happiest family there was, then my dad got in a car crash and died. My mom has never recovered, I guess. I knew my dad as much as any four year old would and maybe that is a reason why she pushes me away. Maybe because that frustrates her that I don't know my dad. Everytime I tell her to calm down, she pushes me away. Not forcefully, I am stronger then her. But she mentally pushes me away. I still love her and when I say that she freaks out. So I have no idea what to do. I pray all day, and everyday on how I should help her and what to do. But everything I try doesn't help her, sometimes it makes it worse. She never leaves the house anymore, so she never comes to church. She didn't stop going to church untill I was fifteen. She didn't even help me get my permit. But I do have my license someone from my ward helped me, her daughter is my best friend, Ally, we have done everything together, some people even think we are sisters. Her mom, is like my second mom. She helps me with so much and does so much for me. I am not sure what I would do without her. I am not saying this to complain. I love my life! I am not perfect, but I know one day, if I try hard enough, I will become perfect in my Heavenly Father and my Saviors eyes. Same goes for my mom. I know that through my faith my mom will come back to the church and be happy once again. For FHE, my mom listens to me, but won't do much more. When the Missionary's come over she listens to them, but won't do much more. The only bad part of my life is my mom ignoring me. I still have a life. For example, I LOVE to read, mostly PJO. (A/N that last sentence is true for me!) I still hang with my friends. I go to stake dances and I have a BIG crush on a boy, but of course he ignores me too, atleast I think he does. But whatever. And before you ask, yes he is a Mormon as well. I am extremely shy around people that don't try to be my friend.

Anyways, I need to get to mutual now. We are doing a games night with the boys. There are not that many youth in our ward. We have Two boys and Two girls, so mutual is kinda small. I still love it though!

...At Mutual

"Good evening y'all! Our opening song is, 'I am a Child of God' with me playing the piano and Logan leading. Then after that, Ally will say the opening prayer and Benjamin will do the theme." I told everybody.

"...Teach me all that I must know, to live with him someday." We sang, then Ally prayed.

"Please stand." Benjamin said.

And together we recited our theme,
" Oh ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God in the last day. Doctrine and Covenants four, two."

"Okay, any announcements?" I asked the leaders, they shook their heads no. So I let them take over.

"Okay so we are having a game night, now we want (we as in the leaders) to play at least one game. So we choose Truth or Dare, because it is very easy. Everyone will get a chance to ask a truth to one person as well as a dare. You can only answer twice, so, I will mark down everyone who gets to answer a truth or do a dare. Okay let's get to it. Who wants to go first? " Sister bark told us.

"I will. Lily I dare you to say the name of your crush." Ally whispered to me, so no one could hear the question. She knows who my crush is and she wants to see if he will figure it out. I also know who her crush is so she nows that will be her dare.

"My answer to my dare is Logan. And no you can't hear the question. Sorry guys." I confessed to everyone, including Logan who sat right next to me.
