No Silver Lining...

Chapter 1 and 2

CHAPTER 1:

I can’t believe this is happening me and my best friend (Juliet) were planning on making this the best summer ever and it’s all ruined. I’m packing my clothes and have the phone to my ear telling Juliet how my life is a total tame. Wait ya’ll probably don’t know nothing about me let me introduce myself a little my name is Alison Sparks I’m 15 years old and I’m not allowed to talk to guys. Yeah that should be about enough to give you the background of my oh so fucked up life. I mean seriously my mom and my older brother (Max) are so damn overprotective of me ever since our father left us I get that they care about me and they think It’s best but come on I got a social life too you know! I haven’t been to any high school party for the past seven months because my mom thinks that the “environment” is going to distract me from my studies even though every damn year I get straight A’s in all subjects (other than math but dude seriously? Fuck Math) and might have a bad effect on my brain (sounds perverted I know). I’m not upset that were going to New York I love my cousins we have loads of fun together but the major reason why I don’t want to go is my cousin Jeffy. He’s a year older than me and I’ve had a major crush on him for as long as I could remember now you all might be thinking “why doesn’t she wanna go? She’s going to spend time with her crush” I’ll tell ya why because when I’m around him I become a statue I barely move scared that I might break something since I’m so damn clumsy, even though I’m the craziest person in school I get so damn nervous that I can’t even talk and when I do the words come out wrong so it’s better to just shut the fuck up and stay as far away from him as possible than to embarrass myself but I can’t keep hiding forever I can’t just be invincible so I decided to grow some balls and tell him how I feel. I know he doesn’t like me back because the last time we met two years ago we were playing truth and dare and he told us who he liked so it’s better if he just tells me he doesn’t like me, I get hurt and cry and

try killing myself, than hoping that someday he might like me as much as I like him which we all know is never going to happen.

*FLASHBACK*

Oh My Gosh Mom are you serious!? “ I screamed in my mom’s ear when she told me”.

Yes Alison were going to New York for the summer it’s been two years since you’ve seen your cousins and you know how I hate cutting off with people.

But mom!! “I try sounding like my little brother Jason who always gets what he wants when he talks like this” me and Juliet made so many plans for the upcoming holidays!

Well looks like you’re going to have to cancel and make new plans, now get upstairs and start packing were leaving tomorrow.

Where are we going to stay it’s two damn months, we can’t stay at aunt Ashly’s house for that long you know she already has 5 kids. “I say trying as hard I could to convince her to stay”.

I know I know that’s why I rented out an apartment in Manhattan, a perfect place for spending the summer! “my mom says all dream like”.

Mom It’s not the perfect place you just love to shop so-

Shopping is the perfect way to spend the summer! “my mom says cutting me off”.

Goddamn it fine mom but I’m only going for you so I get whatever I want and whenever I want “I say crossing my hands over my chest smirking knowing she won’t refuse the deal”.

Nonsense Alison! “my mom says laughing” we both know going to New York is a hell lot better than staying here with nanna Tessie.

You wouldn’t. “I say can’t believing she used the Nanna Tessie threat on me again”
