Gaps In-between

Chapter One

Book after book, stories flowing, the story line developing, getting to know each character. The passion between each of them and the love, the heart break, and most of all; demons. The author of the book you are currently reading had a plan for the issues and the plot to go a certain way it is going to be up to them to decide.

Anyways, once when Miss. Anderson knocks upon my door it's as if I disappear and returned back into reality. Closing my book I hear her say, "Miss. Penelope your parents will be home by the peak of noon. They would like for you to be down in the main hall dressed lovely." Sighing I get up off of my bed, where I had been for hours reading. Swiftly I go into my closet to pick out some dress that would look 'divine' for the meeting with my parents.

Looking around in my closet for awhile I decided to go with the navy blue dress and grabbed one of my numerous dressy belts. The belt that I chose was white so the navy would pop. Quickly after I changed I decided that I might as well do my makeup because why not? Heading over to my vanity mirror I grabbed my liquid eye liner and did an elegant wing on both lids of my eyes. Afterwards I ran mascara through my lashes, on both sides. I don't usually wear a whole ton of makeup. Slipping my glasses back onto my face I head to the direction of my alarm system and set the clock 20 minutes til noon. Sitting back on my bed I opened the book and began to read the endless words.

"Penelope Velt!!!" Slamming my book down I rush to my closet and grabbed my slip ons that went with my outfit. Rushing down the stairs and into the main hall I seen both my parents but with completely different looks masked onto their faces. Mom's was of disappointment, dad's was of anger. Right as my father see me exit off of the stairs he took a deep breath and pinched his nose. "Explain." He demands. "I lost track of time..." I trail off fidgeting in my spot. "Please tell us you were not reading. Honey that's all you do with all your time." My mother spoke in a monotone voice. "We are leaving in 10 minutes, dear." My dad told my mother and sped off towards his room.

My mom just stares at me like I am a lost child and eventually heads off to where my father disappeared too. 'What was the point of coming down here?' I ask myself heading right back into my dungeon. 'So that our parents can see us, duh.' A voice in my head remarked.

Ignoring the voice I go back to what I was doing. Entering my room I fall back onto my bed with tons of thoughts swarming my mind. Like what is going to happen in my future, or how I will survive living in my isolation. Soon my door swings open and in comes my best friend, Austin. "Penny! Babes I missed you." Austin exclaimed making me grin. Getting up I hug him and we both sit back down the bed. "Aussie I missed you too. I thought you and your girl are going on vacation this whole week and the next?" I questioned. Austin scolded and said, "Well she got home sick so we cut the visit short. I would've bought it if I didn't know her so well." "It could possibly be hormones also. Girls now a days have many issues." Austin lifts one of his brows as to what I said. "Are you thinking she's pregnant? Let me tell yuh, my tool is always wrapped before entering that tool box." Austin said mater of factually. "Oh my gosh! I don't want to know the details." I groaned.

"Ready to get your ass handed to you?" Aussie asked with a evil grin while circling around me. "My butt is still in the same place from the last I can recall." I slyly said giving him a wink before going to in for the attack. As quickly as I got on top of him I was off. "Why are you always faster than me? Like I don't understand!" I yelled in frustration. "Well coming in you did great with just the timing is off. Penny, you have to calculate the size of the person and be confident that it's correct and not hesitate." Austin said pinning me down. "Can we go onto the next thing? This loosing thing kinda sucks." I told him. "Sure."

After millions of laps around my large property we both decided that it was time for a break. Trailing behind Austin we make our way into the house and up the stairs. "So is Samantha still talking to you?" I asked once we both got done with our showers, settling on top of the bed. "Kinda, it's like she is in her own little world honestly." Austin said pulling his hand through his hair. "Just give her some time. She'll come around." I muttered reaching over him I grabbed my book and laid back into my original spot. Before I started to read I seen that Austin had begun to rapidly text on his phone. Rolling my eyes I get lost my the sweet words of Harry Potter.
