Meanwhile, Life Goes On

Chapter 1

"What are you going to wear?" Asked Cheyenne, " probably what I always wear... Jeans, a plaid flannel, and my boots." "Don't you think you should wear something else? Ya know, since we are going to see Allen?" "Nah he likes me for who I am, well I hope he likes me.." " I think he does" Cheyenne replies. " I will be down in just a second I have to get something" I tell Cheyenne. My name is Ellie May, I'm named after my Great Grandmother Elinor May. I'm 17 years old, and I have a big crush on the boy that works on my mamaws farm. His name is Allen. Me and my sister Cheyenne, live with our grandparents because our parents left us when I was 8 and Cheyenne was 6. The two of us are meeting Allen at the lake down behind the farm. Just before I walk out my bedroom, I grab my moms locket from my dresser. I always where it when I go out from the house. As I walk down the spiral steps, I here Mamaw talking to Pop. I hear her say something like "Don't go telling Ellie, she will be upset." I didn't know what was going on and I didn't want to ruin my evening plans. I yelled to them saying we would be back before dark and that I loved them. I then followed Cheyenne out the back door and down the trial in the woods, leading towards the lake.
