Those Eyes

Prologue


“Nina was the best daughter a mother could ever ask for. She was the greatest, most caring, selfless person I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She was taken from us too soon, but she’s in a better place now, in a place where she doesn’t have to worry about anything. She had many demons that plagued her life over the years, but she never failed to put a smile on anyone else’s face. When she loved you, she loved you with every ounce of her heart and soul. Nina and I had shared many differences, but there wasn’t a day that I wasn’t proud of her. She always knew how to make someone smile, even if she didn’t want to smile herself….”

Notes

So this is the beginning of Smiles and Secrets. I plan on this being more of a short story type, like only a few chapters, I'm currently writing the story now. I'm not exactly sure when I'll post the rest of the story, but this gives you a little taste to whats coming.

I got the idea for this story this morning (11/8/13) in the shower, I thought it was too good to not write. I hope you all agree when you finally read it. I got the inspiration from
various things. One of them was the story Beautiful Disaster by Jamie Mcguire, I just read that book over the past two days and when I came to the part in the story where there's a fire the beginning stages of the idea of the story came to mind. Then when I was in the shower I was listening to pandora and Warrior by Demi Lovato came on. Demi inspired the character of Nina. But then Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Ray came on and that song inspired the rest of the story.

I wish I could type as fast as I think, because if I could then the story would be up already. Like I said earlier, I have already started the story and I'm a decent amount through it, so it shouldn't be long before the whole thing is up. I don't want to write it chapter by chapter because I feel like I'll lose the essence of the story, and then that way you guys can read all of it at once, or you can pace yourself however you'd like.


Well, that's all for now. :)

I really hope you all enjoy this story when it goes up.

@Ciao Niccie

You don't have any idea how much your feedback means to me. :) Thank you so much. It makes me happy to see that this story will stay with you. I could have been more descriptive, but I thought that it would take away from the rawness of the story. And I also wanted the readers imagination to flow with my own.

It's perfectly fine that you listened to Skyskraper, I', just happy that you listened to music at all, since it is a big part of the story.

I earnestly implore you to heed my words in their literal and true form... I have never stumbled upon a story, regardless the length, that has moved and stirred such compassion for a character, both characters, like this one. When I read about people crying in their comments, I am skeptical at times, but today I did. It's bittersweet. And although it was dark, it had a different essence to it . . . I almost can't describe it. But this was beautiful and I truly felt like I captured what you were eager to express in this masterpiece. I hope more people recognize and praise you for this story. It deserves more votes than the repetitive scripts that linger on here... This story will haunt me, in a good way.

p.s. I cheated by listening to skyscraper on chapter 11, I was a mess.

Chpater 1: This is a different way to start a story, but I feel the sad intro sets a good platform for the rest of the chapters, which I like. It's sobering. I like the glimpse of normal and cute conversation, but then I'm reminded of the beginning again... Okay on with the show....chap 2....
