Chapter 2

This is sort of a boring chapter. Not much happens, except when she finds out the breaking news.

       That night, my father and I were sitting at the dinner table, eating chinese food, when he told me the "Great", news. "I'm getting married!", he announced. I nearly choked on my sweet and sour chiken. "Excuse me?!", I spat. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "I'm getting married! And the woman I'm marrying has a teenage son your age. You'll be just like twins!", he sang. I was dumbfounded. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend! What was he thinking?! Getting married to a woman I had never met before! "Dad! Since when did you have a girlfriend?!", I asked, as loud as possible to show that I was angry. "Now, now, honey. I didn't want you to know about her because I know how you feel about me having a girlfriend. But I figured I'd have to tell you sometime, so I told you now. And we're already ingaged, so there's nothing you can do about it", he said.
I gave him a nasty look, and he shuddered. "I understand if your angry with me...But you'll really like this one, I promise! And don't worry, she could never replace your mother!", he assured me. I still didn't like this. The very fact that he would marry again after his wife died made me sick. I mean, It's like he's cheating on her, or something. I didn't want Dad to ever try to replace my mother.

"Her son's name is Jonothan. He's going to be your stepbrother. He's exactly the same age as you. My fiance's name is Mandy. Mandy bottons. In a few months, Mandy will be my bride!", he said, happily. I sighed. There was no use in arguing. He had already made up his mind. he was going to marry this Mandy woman.

 

    That night, I got into bed and turned off my reading light. I layed on my side, because I can't stand laying on my back. Next to me, was the night stand with the picture of Mom on it. She was such a pretty woman, with her long black hair, her big brown eyes, and her perfect features. My Dad was always telling me that I look just like my mother, but I never believed him. Although, our hair, and our eyes are the same. "Goodnight, Mom", I said, as I shut my eyes. "Goodnight."

Author's Note

The next chapter is where she meets Mandy, and Jonothan. I hope you liked this one.

you spelled "engaged" wrong, but it's an interesting story.
