Friday List
I think I'll do this list for the main protagonist in my novel Amazing Grace. Meet Grace Kallaghan. :)
(Oh, God, this is harder to do than I thought...)
5 excuses
-- Un - Uhm...I'm getting a tattoo because you [Mike, her roomate/lover] always tell me not to.
-- Deux - I'm not going to drink or do drugs, no matter how messed up my friends are [Simoria and Joana] because I don't like peer -- pressure and that stuff's nasty anyways.
-- Trois - I'm only taking French to graduate from High School with all my credits, not because I like the language.
-- Quatre - I don't like people or crowds because I had an isolated childhood and was never taught to deal with them.
-- Cinq - Art means so much to be because it's a form of expression that almost everyone can understand and connect with in some way.
4 explanations
-- Un - Roxy [Mike's dog] actually peed under your [Mike] bed too, not just in the hallway, I just didn't want you to get so mad at her you'd give her away.
-- Deux - There is never any hot water left for you [Mike] to use because you don't get up early enough to take a shower with me.
-- Trois - Last night I was actually at Joana's house, and you [Mike] would have known I was telling the truth if you hadn't automatically assumed I was lying.
-- Quatre - James [Grace's ex] and I didn't work out because we all knew that I only wanted to be with you [Mike.]
3 wishes
-- Un - I wish that "be careful what you wish for" didn't apply to me.
-- Deux - I wish that I could always watch the sun rise and sun set with Mike, every day.
-- Trois - I wish for a hundred million more wishes.
2 promises (1 broken, 1 kept) (I won't tell you which is which)
-- Un - I won't ever cheat on you [Mike.]
-- Deux - I won't ever cut again.
1 secret
-- Un - More often than not, I find myself wanting to run away again, but every time I try, my feet become lead and bring me right back to your door, right to where you found me five years ago, broken and shivering and barely alive. And each time I come back, I am terrified to stay.
