Forever Loved

chapter 1

So heres my life: I eat, sleep, and live. My mom is dead because of a drunk driver, and my dad is an achaolic...I'll let you figure it out.

Well anyway I'm 16 and I am currently able to drive. The only problem is that my dad won't stay sober long enough to help me. My driving teacher is one of my best friends. His name is Mr. Smith. He's a great teacher, however, his wife cannot have any babies. They say they are a lonely couple. The FBI has been spying on my family and they think I should be a transferred to a different family. I asked if I could be transferred to Mr. Smiths family. They said they'll think about it.

So here I am, taking my stupid driving test for the 2 time. I gotta say, the hardest part its parallel parking.

"Watch what you are doing." Commented Mr. Smith. I shook my head yes and said okay. For some reason, when I finished, he said I only missed it by four points. I always miss by four. Just four stupid, little points off parallel parking.

"Did you pass?" Asked Jessie. I shook my head no and walked Away. She said something but I couldn't make out what it was.

Mr. Smith drove me home. It was a silent drive all the way there. "Ashley?"

"Yes?"

"Be careful, please"

"I Will"

I shut the car door and walked to the front door. My dad answered.

"Hi princess."

"Hi dad"

"How was the fair?"

There was a brief pause, like in the movies.

"Good. "

"Well that's *burp* good"

"Yeah, I guess. "

I went to my room upstairs. The walls were a really pretty teal color. Except one wall, it was covered with posters of all the hot famous people.

I looked out my window at the neighbors pulling out of their driveway. Their car was a white Honda and it was really big in there. The girl that lives there, about my age, doesn't like me. I don't really know why but she doesn't. Her name is Sara Rutley and she is one over those popular girls, like that knows everything. She's not all that pretty though. She has red hair and freckles that cover her entire face. Her hair was braided today, which was unusual today about her. She always wears heels and to be honest, she walks kinda funny in them. Maybe I'm just a mean person or something, but she really does bug me with her fancy walk and all her clothes. Well whatever.

My phone beeped.

Text: Hey Ashley, I heard you took the test again. How did it go?

I clicked my phone off.

I didn't want to reply.

Another text popped up.

Text: Hey Ash, I know you are feeling down. Do you wanna hang out? I texted back this time

Me: if you are trying to make me feel better come over.

A minute passed and I yelled from the top of the stairs.

"Dad can Mia come over?"

"Sure"

"Okay thanks dad"

I went back to my room and checked my phone.

Text: im on my way.

I was kinda surprised when the text popped up, I won't lie.
