The Path We Choose

Chapter 1: My normal fangirl life

When I woke up that morning I had no idea my how much my life was about to change.
But before I tell you that story, I guess I should tell you a bit about myself first. My name is Maggie Bently. I am 5'8" and I'm a major fangirl. I'm a bit of a freak, I have tattoos and piercings, and my head is shaved on both sides, the hair on top is bubblegum pink. My father died almost a year ago and my mother fell apart after the accident. I took it upon myself to take care of my little sister Maddison. Maddison is a little more normal than me. She is a fangirl as well, but she had straight blonde hair and no tattoos. She has a nose stud but that's as far as it goes for eccentric with her.
Anyway that day started off like any other, I got out of bed and started my regular routine. I turned on my computer and checked my Facebook pages. I remember being excited because my new fan page for my favourite book series had a few new likes. I closed my laptop, smiling to myself. I put on my uniform threw a pillow at my little sister to wake her up, and headed downstairs.
"Good morning mom!" I said cheerfully.
"Uh...what's that? Oh good morning honey......is your sister up yet?" Mom called from her room.
"She's coming!" I called back as I started cracking eggs for breakfast.
Mom came out of her room and sat down at the table.
"I've been meaning to talk to you about something" Mom said. When she says stuff like I know we are about to have a fight.
"What's that?" I ask trying not to sound to defensive.
"Well I've noticed that you and your sister have been spending a lot of time in your room and I was wondering why?"
"Why do you care anyway you're never home" I said resuming my task.
"And when I am, the two of you are up there reading about wumbletown"
"It's Wingleton and it makes us happy! You don't understand!" I said trying not to cry. "The only time I'm happy is when I'm in a different world!"
"And why is that Maggie?" She asked trying to keep her voice calm.
"Because ever since dad died you've been lost inside of yourself! You don't see it, but Maddison and I need you!" I said trying not to break down. "We have been on our own since the accident!!! You used to read with us! Heck, we even did some family cosplays!! You need to realize that dad's death didn't only affect you!!! You didn't just lose a husband! Maddie and I lost our dad!" Then I started sobbing, I sat down and bawled until Maddie came downstairs and put her arms around me.
"Girls...." Mom said tiredly.
"C'mon Mags we're gonna be late" Maddie said wiping my eyes with a tissue and helping me up.
