Is This Real? by Dawn Brown (ebook reader computer .TXT) 📕

IM GETTING MARRIED?


My name is Alana Flambeau. Have you ever pictured yourself moving out of your parents house and then thinking that you could see your life past them. Well, that's everything i could think about. My mom was a drug addict, my dad was a drunk who, every night picked on me and my mother. I would always come home to her crying and then when i would try to comfort her my stupid dad would drag my ass up stairs and " teach me a lesson" on how to be a good daughter. My father didn't want any girls, so when i was born he hated me to death. Since we were abused,my mother got her tubes tied without my fathers permission,and since then he has been forcing me to have sex with him in order to concieve a male offspring. What he didn't know is that i have been taking birth control ever since i started my period. That way i would never have a child from him. My mother has been trying to get me out of the house but i just can't get the courage to leave her.

One day after school, i came home to a hurse in my drive way. As soon as i seen it, i ran into my house screaming for my mother. I ran into the living room to find my mother, and unfortunatly my father sitting with two other adults. I look around the room to find a third person standing by the window, gazing out at the forest that we lived next to. As soon as i'd seen him my heart began to race. Why was it doing that. I had only seen the back of his head and i already was feeling something for him. This is definetly wierd shit.

" Oh, hunny your home. This is Mr. & Mrs. Ridley. They have come to see the city and they dcided to come and visit us."
"Why, are they family or something?" Right then i get a death stare from my father.
" Well, no. Umm, but they will be." What is she talking about?
" How so?"
" Well, you see little miss attitude. Your getting married, to that young man over by the window." My dad shoved the words right out of his gritted teeth. I quickly ran up stairs and into my room. I locked the door behind me and threw myself on my bed contimplating weather i should have even came home today.

I heard ffotsteps running up the staris and i already knew who it was. " Emeley, open the damn door now!"
" Why, so you can beat me again?" I very hesitantly unlocked my door. As soon as he heard the lock click he pushed open the door hard as hell causing me to get hit in the face with it. He covered my screams with his hands. Then he pushed me into the wall. " Get your ass downstairs and listen to what they have to say. If you don't ill kill your mother when they leave. Got it?" I just nodded my head. He left and i wiped away my tears. I fixed my bloodied nose up and went down stairs.

" Sorry, everyone for running away like that. It's just hard to comprihend at the moment."
" Oh, it's fine we understand. Come, sit by me and well have a little chat about how this is going to work."
" Mkkay " When this women spoke it was like you had to abide with what ever she said. She was gorgeous. She had bright red hair oulled into a magnificient bun. She had bright green eyes and freckles around her nose, and besides that she did not look a day over thirty. I walked over and she made room for me to sit down. As soon as i sat down she grabbed my hand and held it for comfort.

" So you see my dear Emeley, your parents and i have had this arranged for quite some time. Since you were bron actually." What!
" So wait, your telling me that i have no choice but to marry their son?" I referred to my mother.
" Yes, sweetheart. Im so very sorry." No she wasn't. She would be glad to get me away from my damn father. I couldn't help but look over at their son when i said that. When i did he was looking at me too. He was very handsome, but he looked as if he were three years older than me. I was to turn eighteen in about a month and he looked twenty or so. He had brown hair mixed with red highlights and he had the same green eyes as his mother did. He was well built around the upper torso from what i could tell. We held eachothers gaze for a moment, until his father cleared his throat.

" Son, why don't you introduce your self to the young lady while us adults go and have a drink in the parlor."
" Of course father." His voice was deep and just added to his beauty. What am i saying, i barely know the guy and im slready falling in love with him.

" Hello. My name is Nicholas, and you are?" Really he didn't even know my name?
" Umm, It's Emeley, nice to meet you." No it wasn't.
" Im so sorry for what are parents are doing to you, i tried to tell them that you weren't ready and that you might not even want to marry me but they didn't listen. They just said it was my duty as prince.." And that's where i cut him off.
" Your a-a prince!" A freaking prince. What the hell is wrong with these people?
" Why yes, i thought they must've told you by now."
" You were standing by the window this whole time and you weren't paying attention to the conversation?"
" Well, no. It was none of my buisness what they were saying to you. But, anyways, would you like to go start packing your things?"
" What! Your making me leave today?" Oh hell no.
" Well that was the plan, but we don't have to you can stay here for tonight and we can leave tomorrow."
" I don't want to go because..." I trail off for i fear of my father hearing me.
" What's wrong Em.?" He called me Em, only my mom ever calls me that but it's nice.
" I just don't want to leave my mom alone." A tear strolls down my cheek, and he reaches to wipe it off. Then my make up smears and reveals a very dark purple bruise on my right cheek, he sees it and looks furious.
" Who did this to you?"
" Noone, i walked into a door yesterday. Im fine, really." He pulled me in for a hug and electricity was sent all through my body, he felt it too because he pulled away.
" What happened, you felt that too right?"
" Well of course i did, but that would mean.." He trails off then walks into the kitchen to speak to his parents. They all yell with excitment, then Mrs. Ridley comes in and gives me a huge hug.
" Oh, im so glad we finally found you." What is she talking about.
" Come, let's go pack your stuff we have a long drive to the castle." What! Did she just say castle?
" Umm okay? My rooms up stairs, Nicholas would like to come help me?"
" Sure." I only aske dbecause i feared that my father would come up again. Then we head up to my room.

Oh my. Was this really happening? Was i getting married to a complete stranger? We walked up the stairs to my room. When we walked in he gave me a hug and that's when i caved. I started to cry instantly, i was really about to pack my stuff and leave. I couldn't do it though, i can't just leave my mother with this monster.

" Hey, it's okay. Im going to take care of you. It's going to be alright. "
" How! I get to leave while my mother stays here with my abusive ass father! Dammit!
" What are you talking about?" He actually seemed concerned about me.
" My father beats me and my mother and it's all my fault." I started to cry but not a lot.
" It couldn't possible be your fault." He hugged me again. I pulled away to explain.
" Yes it is becuase my father wanted a boy as his first child and he got me instead. When my mother was thirty four she got her tubes tied with out my father knowing because she didn't want another child to go through the same thing that i do. My father found out and now he tries to have a baby with me every night for the past two years. I don't tell anyone because he says he'll kill my mother. I haven't gotten pregnant so now my father just beats us, and if i go with you hell probably beat her to death." I started to cry but i stopped when there was a knock on the door. It was my father, asking what we were doing. I told him we were still packing and well be down in a minute.

Wejust stood there and looked into eachothers eyes, then he leaned in and kissed me. When our lips touched it sent a huge bolt through me but neither of us moved we just kept enjoying the amazing feeling going through us both. When he finally pulled away he smiled at me and i just hugged him. We finished packing my stuff and Nick pulled my suitcase downstairs. My mother had super red eyes and her cheeks were flushed. I ran to her and hugged her tightly. I didn't want to let her go but i was pulled away by my father. Every one was out side waiting for me in the car. He punched me in my stomach when i told him to let me go and pushed me out of the door. He grabbed my mother by her hair and slammed the door in my face. I got into the car and i immediatly laid my head on Nicholas' chest and he let me. I soon fell asleep.
