This Girl, chapter 1
Dear Readers,
My name is Kara Parker I have many imaginary friends. Well sort of... My mother and I are really close we talk all the time. Its just when I want to talk to someone else I will talk to my teddy. No I'm not three I am 15 years of age. I have no father because he left me and I cant remember him. I want to know who he is but my mother says he is better left forgotten.
Well this story is about me. Me and myself trying to find out who my father is, and why he left. The only thing I have left of him is a letter he wrote me. It reads.
Dear Sweetie
I love you so much but me and your mother don't feel that love any more I am sorry that it has to be this way I truly am. When you are older I will find you I promise I will never forget you.
Love you always
Daddy
That is all I have left of him. I cant remember what he looks like or how he smelled I have no memory of him.
My mother says his last name is Armstrong, ans also said that he lives in California. So I am packing my bags and I am going to find him.
"Kara wait" I turn around to find my mother carrying an envelope. "Honey here is the only picture I have of him." I take the envelope and open it. There was a man with blue hair green eyes and a weird smile in this photo graph. I looked nothing like him. My hair color is reddish brownish and I have green eyes. The only thing we had in comin was our smile and eyes.
"Thanks mom" I turn back around and head for the bus stop.
Arrived at California
Everyone here sounded really different looked weird and was pure teen rude to the bone. I finally stopped this woman and ask if she could help me find my father. "What does he look like my child?" I showed her a picture. She started laughing. "What I don't understand what is funny about the way he looks?" "Sweetie that is my son and he only had a daughter that lives in..." "Sweetie do you have a picture of your mother?" I search in my backpack and found it. "Here it is" She put her hand over her mouth "Oh my" "Hunny I am you Grandmother." I look at her and then the picture of my father. She took my hand and told me to follow her that we were going home.
At my Grand Mothers house.
This house brought back so many memories.
Flash back
"Hey pumpkin what are you doing?" My father said to me.
"Notin" I say trying to hide my mud pie that I was making.
"Are you making a mud pie?"
I look at him with wide green eyes. "Ohho"
He giggles "ohho?" My mom comes in "What are you doing I just gave you a bath?" My mom picks me up and leads me to the bathroom.
End of flashback
"I remember making mu pies"I say to my Gm that is what I named her for short.
"Oh honey don't you remember anything else?" I shook my head no.
"Well I am going to call your father and tell him to come see you." I shook my head in approval. I decided to look around. I went to one of the rooms that used to be mine.
Flash Back
"Hey sweetie aren't you supposed to be in bed?" I shook my head no.
"Are you lying to me?" I shook my head yes.
"Well you aren't doing a very good job." I just laughed.
End of flash back
I went to the bathroom no memories.
I went to what used to be my parents room. It was like I could see everything the way it used to be. I was lying with my dad on the bed while my mom was getting dressed.
"Kara?" A male voice took me from my trance. I turn around. And there he was the man I have longed to see my whole life standing infront of me. He looked so different. I couldn't move I just stood there.
" Y... Yeah?" I said in a faint whisper.
"Kara it is me your father."
A tear came down my eye and I was to weak to wipe it away.
"Oh honey..."
Flash back
"Kara I have to go I met someone else and I love her."
"NO you love me too take me with you!"
"Kara I cant do that me and Audie have to have some time to make everything work." I will come and get you when you are older." and with that he left. I was crying I wanted to be with him I wanted to stay with him. And all he could do was leave.
End of flashback
I stepped away from him. He stopped talking. "You never came back." I said low and cold my voice filled with anger. "What?" "You said you would come back and get me after you and Audie had things straight, you never CAME BACK!" I yelled. "You mean you remember me saying that?" when he said that I broke down. He didn't love me he didn't need me the way I needed him. He came up to comfort me. "IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULD HAVE CAME YOU WOULD HAVE CARED AND YOU DON'T SO DON'T TRY AND MAKE ANYTHING YOU FUCKED UP BETTER BECAUSE YOU CANT BILLIE JOE YOU FUCKED UP!" He looked at me. "You sound just like your mother." He was so calm about this. "When you want to talk here is my number." he left it on the dresser.
