Hi, I'm going to give you the background of why I wrote this story, so just bear with me or just skip to the actual writing part. :) Heeheehee ;)
So basically, when I was little, I always wanted to be an author, from first grade when we had career day. I loved writing, even then - when it was just very small little stories that came out of my six year old mind. When I was in fourth grade, my friend and I wrote like five long chapters to our novel that was going to be published, but we kept reading and rewriting until we were bored with the idea and gave up.
Then, this summer, I finished the book, "Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer, the fourth and final book in the twilight series. And I was so sad that the series had ended that sort of decided to continue it by writing my own story about the characters, and thus, I got back into writing.
When I finished my fanfic, I posted it onto .net and let people read it and the reviews I got were very good. :) It made me so happy and motivated me to continue writing. But I knew that if I wanted to pursue my dream, then I couldn't keep writing about Edward and Bella. I had to create my own novel, my own characters if I ever wanted to get published.
So in my math class (when I'm at my most creative because I'm so bored), I just started writing off an impulse of an idea. And I wrote and I wrote and I wrote and I failed my next math test, but I kept writing because I knew that I had to finish this story, to finish the story of Cameron and Olivia, two starcrossed lovers (as Shakespeare would say) who both had a little secret that they could never tell anyone. And no, it's not vampires. :)
This is only the prologue, and I know that it's very short, but I have written about seven chapters of this story so far. I will post them every few days, to give myself enough time to actually keep up with the writing part of the whole thing. I tried to write the prologue so that you wouldn't know who the characters were, so if I'm being vague, please tell me, because if I tell who the characters are, it would ruin the whole ending to the book.
Please, read and review as I am desperate for ideas for this story.
:) Thanks sooooo much!!!
And sorry if that sounded REALLY formal. :) heeheehee
Prologue
OPOV
I saw him there. Waiting for me on the other side of the sheet that barely existed, almost invisible. He was standing there, holding out his hand, as if he wanted to guide me through. How I wanted to go with him. Leave everything behind, as if it never existed. Leave behind all of my problems. Yet I couldn't. I couldn't muster up the courage to join him. To step beyond the thin white sheet that separated us forever.
Although I truly wanted to. I needed to step beyond this accursed veil. I needed him, to be with me. I needed him to come home.
He was just on the other side. I took a step forward, almost touching the thin veil. He took a step forward as well, placing his pale white palm onto the sheet. I mirrored my own small hand to match his. So close. Yet not close enough.
I could feel the hot salty tears well up within my eyes, yet I didn't want them to show. "It's really you! You're here – back. With me." He shook his head, looking very sad. "Come on," I complained, trying to grab his hand through the sheet and pull him towards me. But all I could grab was air. Angrily, I half shouted, "Come back with me!" My voice cracked as the lump in my throat swelled bigger.
He smiled a sad smile and shook his head once more. "I can't," He whispered, his voice carried away by the light breeze that blew through his hair. It still sounded like him. His voice – it reminded me of the sound of a rainforest on a cloudy day. Such a unique voice, that I wanted to continue within my life forever. But I knew it couldn't. I knew he couldn't. He was gone. Forever. And I didn't know how I would live.
Sadness and pain washed over me, filling me with dread, filling me with never ending sorrow. Grief for him. Misery for what we had done. But mostly, I felt sadness for myself. For what I had brought upon myself.
And the hidden tears began to fall.
So...??? Like it? Love it? HATE it?? Give me ideas, people!!! Give me your suggestions. Because the prologue doesn't really tell anything, i'm going to add the first chapter very soon. :) Remember: reviews are like CANDY. Especially peanut M+Ms. Dark chocolate peanut mnm's. :) i LOVE THOSE THINGs!!! but halloween is over and i've already eaten all my candy, so you should leave some for me!!! REVIEW!! :)
