Penitence (ON HOLD)

Chapter One

Hey guys.. soo I'm starting this new book and I'm hoping that you all enjoy it.

*Flashback*

"Honey maybe you should try to be a little more nice to Anderson. I see the way you roll your eyes when he isn't looking. That boy loves you and you know there is a slim chance that you will find someone else." My mother scolds.

I start to tune her out. She doesn't know anything about Anderson and she surely doesn't know anything about me. She doesn't know the Anderson that drinks himself to death every Friday and then comes back home to have sex with another girl. All she sees is a handsome, polite, rich boy.

When it comes to me, all she sees is her youngest daughter who is average and not as nice looking. Not that I care anyway. I'm not Cinderella and I dont plan on catering to her every need until my prince charming comes. Why? Because he won't.

"Nina Roxanne Holter are you listening to me." My mother snaps.

"Yes mother." I say sweetly.

Before she can utter another word the doorbell rings.

"Nina would you be a dear and go open that door?" My mother smirks.

That look can't be good. I swear Vivian Holter is always up to something. I make my way to the front door and open it. Standing there with his freshly pressed khaki shorts and polo shirt is Anderson. I put on a fake smile.

"Hi Andy, what are you doing here?" I ask sweetly.

He pulls me in for a hug that leaves me wanting to vomit. Is it necessary to wear that much cologne?

"I have a surprise for you Bina. He smiles.

Ugh! I can't stand it when he calls me that. Fighting the urge to roll my eyes and walk away, I'm able to ask him what it is nicely. He gets down on one knee and all I can think is lord please don't let him propose to me.

"Will you go on a date with me?" He asks with a hopeful expression.

I really want to scoff and say no, but I can see my mother's glare from all the way across the room. I nod and say that I am going upstairs to get ready.

*Flashback over*

I remember that day so well. He took me to the zoo and we had so much fun. He confessed that he was in love with me and we shared a beautiful kiss. He was all I thought about for days. We made each other happy. He even stopped drinking. We had our whole future planned out.

Actually.... I had our whole future planned out.

I guess I was stupid like Cinderella. She let people take advantage of her and so did I. Cinderella got her happy ending and all I got was a broken glass slipper..... a broken relationship that I can't get out of.

Okay soo I know that was kinda boring and maybe a little confusing but you'll understand in the next chapter. Soo.... like, comment any mistakes, or just say anything. I absolutely hate the feeling of not knowing my readers, but anywayy in the multimedia is Sarah Hyland and she is what I imagine Nina looking like for now. If anyone wants to recommend another person feel free to do so. (:
