Let's Be Honest

Chapter 1

Holly's P.O.V

*Beep* Beep* Beep*

My eyes shot open, "Who in gods name is waking me up at," I say getting up, to look over at my clock, "6:30 in the morning," I say rubbing my blue eyes that my beautiful mother gave me. Thank goodness, I mean brown eyes can be beautiful, but my mom sure blessed me, along with my beautiful brown locks.

I'm not trying to sound conceded or anything, but my mother always told me to be a confident young woman, as well as watching "The Little Princess" and quoting it;

"I am a Princess. All girls are, even if they live in tiny old attics, even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young, they're still princesses, all of us."

I must have watched that movie each and everyday when I was a little girl. She never failed to tell me before I fell asleep, I was a beautiful girl inside and out, and that I was her princess. You can say I was a pretty empowered child because of my amazing mother.

I rub my tired eyes, once you wake me up, there's no going back. I turn on the shower, and look out the small window in my bathroom. Moving trucks. My eyes swell with tears, I did't think it would sell this fast. My boyfriend, Darren, of 3 1/2 years had just moved out less than a two weeks ago. I'd miss him like crazy, I asked to stay in touch, but he didn't want to do a long distance relationship. Coward.

I wipe my face, and stay as strong as I can, if he doesn't want me, I don't want him. He doesn't deserve me.

I hop out of the shower, and let my hair towel dry. I'd damage my hair enough when I was younger and thought I had to blow dry, and straighten my hair everyday. I grab my makeup bag, and do my everyday routine.

I get up, grab my favorite pair of dark wash jeans with the rips at the knees from TopShop, a maroon t-shirt from Brandy Melville, and my black suede ankle boots, also from TopShop. It's my favorite store.

I grab my purse, and head downstairs to the smell of my mom making pancakes, "Something smells amazing." I say sitting at the dining table.

"Pancakes, eggs, and bacon? You're going all out today," I say jokingly.

She smiles, "I know you saw what was happening outside, I thought I'd try to make the day easier."

I frown a little, "Yeah, they woke me up this morning, but I think I'll be okay,"

"I'm glad Holly," She says giving my a plate of delicious food.

...

I put my plate in the sink, "I'll be back in a little while,"

"Where are you going?" My mom asks turning the sink on.

I didn't have any friends left, I kept ditching them for my ex. He was my only friend, I can't believe how stupid and blind I was.

"Just going to the library, maybe shop little, what's the point of dad sending money if I can't spend it, it's all he's good for." I say closing the door.

I open the door to my old baby blue Volkswagen, it was a gift for my 16th birthday, my mom had saved up for months, it means the world to me. I smile, and open the door, and drive to the little coffee shop around the corner, I needed a pick me up for the day.

...

I walk up to the barista, "One iced coffee please."

"That will be 2.75."

I sit by the window, I can see my old best friend across the street, she gives me this sour look and keeps walking. It makes my stomach turn, I wish I hadn't made those mistakes for the past couple of years.
