Torn Apart (Lawson fanfic)

Chapter 1

"Grace?"

"Grace??"

"GRACE?"

I jumped at the voice of my teacher. I lifted my head up from my hands. Was I sleeping?

"Grace are you paying attention?"

No.

"Yes sir." I mumbled.

"Well act like it then."

I sighed, then began to hold my pen in my hand and copy the notes from the board.

Being 26 and still at university sucks. I mean in your 20s your supposed to be having the time of your life right? Going out to parties with friends, traveling the world, meeting boys...well not me. I'm 26, single, still living at home and studying to get my degree so I can become a doctor. I don't even want to become a stupid doctor anyway, that's my parents dream. I want to see the world, explore places but I can't. Instead I'm a full time student and taking nurses shifts from time to time. You'd think I'd be able to do what I want to do right? No. I can't disappoint my parents, not after everything they've done for me. I have to make them proud and show I'm not a total disappointment.

Ever since I was 16, I thought life couldn't get better, I was in love. With a boy I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with. Shows how young and naive I was. Eventually all good things come to an end and he ended it, just like that. Said he "needed to concentrate on his school work." But I didn't believe him. And because of that I never got to tell him. I never got to tell him something important. Something I haven't told anyone. Well except for my parents of course. Then...well then I had to move away. We moved house and never came back. I never saw my friends again. I never saw him again. It was for the best really. A new fresh start. Something I really needed.
