Hello!
This is the first part of my new story. I hope you'll enjoy it, I've been working on this story since April, believe it or not :) Let me know what you think! My eyes flew open. It was still dark outside. I turned to look at the clock. 3 AM. I sighed. Almost a year had passed from the day my grandmother Cassandra died but I was still having nightmares. I missed her so much. I got out of my bed, heading towards the kitchen. Some comfort food was what I needed now. There should be some cherry pie in the fridge. I smiled. I stopped in front of the mirror. What I saw made me worry. I need to go to gym or something. I didn't look fat - yet - but there had been too much comfort food lately. Because of all these nightmares about my grandma...Still, what I saw in the mirror wasn't that horrible to make me go back to bed. One little cherry pie can't make it much worse, can it? I didn't turn on the lights - the last thing I wanted to do was to wake up my father and his wife. I opened the fridge quietly. I was sure I had seen a cherry pie here when I was putting away the leftovers last night. And I found it. I smiled again. "Audrey?"
My father's voice made me jump. Not because he had caught me with a pie in the middle of the night. It scared me because it was so much more closer than I would have expected.
"Dad?" I tried to understand where he was. "Dad, what are you doing here?" I asked after finding him on the couch in the living room.
I had waken him. "Are you and Mathilda having problems?"
"No, everything is fine," he answered, rubbing his eyes. "Then why are you sleeping on the couch?" I asked, laughing. My dad can be so funny sometimes. He yawned. "I got home late yesterday...I didn't want to disturb Mathilda so I decided to sleep here." I didn't believe him. "Really, Dad? I was still awake when you got home. It wasn't that late."
I sat next to him, waiting for him to answer. "Okay, you're right. I'm surprised how you always notice everything." He smiled.
Of course I noticed. My grandfather had died two years ago, grandma a year after that. Dad was the only family I had now and though I didn't really have a reason to worry about him, I never went to bed before he got home. "She snores?" I tried to guess. We both laughed at the thought. "No," my father replied and sighed then. "The truth is...I'm tired of pretending, Dee." I didn't understand. Pretending? He probably saw the confusion in my eyes, and continued. "Ever since we moved to Bluewater, I've felt like I'm living someone else's life." "Living the life my mother wanted for me. And now that she's...well, not here anymore...I can't continue like that..." I was still confused. To be honest, I had no idea what he was talking about. Bluewater Village had always been my home, for more than 16 years already. I didn't know what to say. "Ermm...Have you talked to Mathilda about it?" "Not yet, but I will. And I'm thinking about going back, Audrey..." "Back where, Dad?"
"Back to Pleasantview."

    It was alright for a first chapter, keeps you guessing, and I really like the cliff-hanger ending...well it's not really a cliff-hanger but you get the idea. Good job, I can't wait for the next chapter.

    Hello! \:\) I adore this story. This is actually the second time I've read it. I love the intro to your new story and all but I think a lot of us fell in love with your old version of Back to Pleasantview and would love to see you finish it. Just a suggestion. \:\)
