Chapter 1: Living Regret

                   It was true; I was a living regret.

              My mom and dad hated my face as soon as they saw me.

              They always talked about having kids together and planned their wedding and who was going to be there.

               I wasn't aloud to call them mom or dad. I called them Laura and Sean.

               I was the kid who visits a lot.

               They called me Melony, which wasn't even my name. The faked my death and I was never talked about.

                I never got presents or happy birthdays.

                My real name is Marlynna. I named myself as I got older.

                I made money by doing chores and helping Laura and Sean. That payed for my school, clothes, and everything I will and ever had.

               My friend, Jenny, and her parents know of my situation, they give me money, nearly a thousand dollars, every month. They were filthy rich.

               But now was not the time to worry about that, now was the time to get ready for a Saturday. The first Saturday of summer vacation.

                I wanted to live with Jenny. But she was going to the Ozarks for the summer.

                She apologized for leaving and I told her I'd survive. But, she and I both knew that that had been a lie.

                Paulina and Russo, who lived next door, were to protect me this summmer.

                

                 I stretched and yawned. My back hurt really bad today. Growing pains?

                "She's just a kid." I heard Laura say.

                "But she ain't nothing special to us!" Sean roared.

                 "To you! She isn't anything special to you! You have forced me to hate her long enough!" Laura yelled. She threw her hands in the air.

                "So? Whatcha gonna do 'bout 'er?" Sean asked lazily.

                "Well, I'm going to pack her stuff and mine, and we're leaving. And maybe, you'll get a higher education, you moron!" Laura stormed into her room.

                 Were they talking about me?

                  "What?" Sean whispered.

                  "Were you talking about me?" I asked quietly.

                  "Yes! We were! Go outside, run off some of that fat." Sean pushed me outside.

                   I looked around. No cars in range of the subdivision.

                   Laura came outside and tossed suitcases in the back of our Mercedes.

                   "What're you doing Laura? Where ar you going?" I asked.

                   "I don't know. You're coming with me, sweet heart." She promised.

                  Laura was young and would probably realize that she was stupid for leaving Sean and dump me some where.

                  "Marlynna, eat some breakfast before we go." Laura called me by my name and offered food? Wow, hopefully this would last!

I'd say this needs some work... it's a little on the short side, and you really didn't explain enough in my opinion or give any real descriptions, so I'm hoping this is just an opener and not a preview of what is to come.
