My Story

Hi guys,

I know i haven't been on in a while but unfortunutly i have had 4 family funerals to go to. and 1 i had to helporganise so i haven't been in my right mind recently. But i'm back now adn i hope i am still welcome on this site.

Anyway here is my new story..... I hope you like it.   *crosses fingers*

Clare. xx


“Things can change. People change. Everyone can change.”
“Everyone but you.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means you are a total bitch and don’t deserve to be alive. No one likes you. You have no friends and no boyfriend….”
 

That hurt me more than you can ever imagine but then behind ‘him’ I saw someone I knew would be there no matter what… And this person spoke.
 

“Excuse me don’t you talk to my girl like that.”
“Your girl?”
“Yes my girl, as in my girlfriend.”
 

He stood there with a look of shock upon his face and watched as the other person, not bothering who was watching kissed me slowly and tenderly yet with so much passion it took my breath away. When we broke apart and looked around we discovered that ‘it’ had gone. We smiled at each other and then he made sure thaw I was ok. We then went to meet up with his mates. Phillip was on crutches as he had just had a – as he put it – ‘a bit of a bump.’ Yeah right! He had driven his car into a lamppost! But then again he had been about to collide with a woman so I think it turned out better.
 

“Hello you. How’s the invalid?”
“All the better for seeing you two. What took you so long?”
 

My boyfriend gave him ‘that’ look and he knew straight away. He gave me a hug and we went in to the studio. Time for me to show the others what I had inside me. Time to show people that I could do a lot when I put my mind to it. I walked in and shook hands with a grey haired man. We sat and talked for about an hour and then he directed me to a stool.
 

“Ok Clare, don’t’ be nervous. I’ve got all the time in the world should you need it. Ok? Whenever you’re ready give us a nod and I’ll start this end ok?”
“Ok, thanks for this, I really appreciate this.”
“My pleasure, just take a minute and then we’ll start.”
 

5 minutes past and I hadn’t nodded. So he asked through if I was ok and was I ready….. Was I?

Hi Clare! Lovely to see you again after all this time! 
 
This is a good opening chapter, and you've set the scene by introducing us to all the main characters. It also asks a few questions - one being what exactly is Clare doing in the studio? I assume she is singing? Judging by the ending, she does not seem too sure of herself, despite her earlier statement. 
 
Really enjoying it so far! Keep it up! :grin

I thought I understood what was going on, until your narrator walked into the studio. Is she a presenter or a guest, and what was she doing there? 
I liked the first part though, this Philip as he helped her out. Yet who is the other guy, and why is he acting that nastily? A childish ex? A jealous collegue? 
I liked the style and the way an akward situation was dealt with, but it left too much questions unanswered for me to fully understand what was going on...
