"It was nothing babe, I didn't even mean for it to happen,"
If only I could believe his words.
"It was just a slip up."
I cant even look at him anymore.
But, I love him so much. He was my first. How could he do this to me? I was sure he was my soulmate. It's like someone has ripped out my heart, cut it up then tried to shove it back in place.

After he told me about his "slip up", all I could do was leave. "The pig!" I muttered, walking down his empty street, "THE PIG!"


Coincidentally the weather matched my mood, grey and angry .. threatening to rain. I kept walking, I knew where I was going. I was going to visit Mum. She was the only one who could comfort me.

We were really close. And when she went, he was there for me, and now I have no one. Dad doesnt count, when Mum left he took up drinking everyday .. I dont think hes been sober since then. It was kinda good, having him not notice. But now. Now I have never felt so alone.

I turned into the gates, the big iron sign over the gate post saying Rockerferry Cemetery. Funny, that name reminds me of music and water. I let out a low chuckle, after everything, I think of something random like that.

My mothers grave is next to an old lone willow on top of small hill, kinda picturesque, I guess you could say.

I sat down and hugged the cool marble grave stone and let out my anguish.

"HE .. MADE .. ME COME TO HIS HOUSE TO TELL ME! TELL ME THAT HE BROKE US!"
And slowly I told her everything, through tears. I knew she was there. After at least two hours I realised, its just heartbreak. And life goes on. No matter how dead you are inside.

I just have to move on.



crazy story. lol i hope you like it, i havent proofed or anything . .

I like this piece quite a lot, as it shows how vunerable people can be, but you could take out the bit where it says:
"eventhough she wasnt really here" and "She died when I was fourteen".Keep the fact that she is dead until the end of the story, but other than that, it was a good story! Keep it up!

"It was just a slip up" Okey dokess. Dialogue!! Lol. Put a comma instead of a full stop for the first sentence. Because, having a comma means that the character is going to talk again, but maybe just not at that moment. Having a fullstop, well, it sort of ends it all. For the second sentence, put a full stop. Because as far as I can see...the guy doesn't talk again. So the end. Yaaa digg? Dawg...;)
I cant even look at him anymore.
I love him so much. Whoah, random jump there. From "I can't even look at him anymore. to I love him so much. Maybe change it to "I can't even look at him anymore...but, I love him so much. Eh eh eh? He was my first. How could he do this to me? I'm sure he was my soulmate. It's like someone has ripped out my heart, cut it up then tried to shove it back in place. <--Nice.

After he told me about his 'slip up', "" instead of ''? Because you're quoting.all I could do was leave. "The pig!" I muttered to myself "THE PIG!" as I walked down the empty street. So I'm sensing a bit of setting creation going on here ;) Veerryyy nice *Borat voice*. You might wana elaborate more, though. Because, like, it's just sorta random. Just a street. Out of no where. Start the setting off from the beginning if you can, it doesn't even have to be detailed. Also, the whole pig sentence is a bit backwards. It's good and expressive, but written a little oddly (for me, that is.) You could perhaps change it to: "The pig!" I muttered, walking down the empty street, "THE PIG!"

Coincidentally the weather matched my mood, grey and angry .. threatning to rain. <--Me like! I kept walking, I knew where I was going. I was going to visit Mum. She was the only one who could comfort me.

We were really close. And when she went, he was there for me, and now I have no one. Dad doesnt count, when Mum diedleft (because you want the mystery until the end, right?) he took up drinking everyday .. I dont think hes been sober since then. It was kinda good, having him not notice. But now. Now I have never felt so alone.

I turned into the gates of the cemetery, Hmm...I still think the mystery can wait longer, maybe just have "I turned into the gates; the big iron sign over the gate post saying Rockerferry Cemetery.

KD here to review your story, piece by piece!

Dalliance wrote:"It was nothing babe, I didn't even mean for it to happen,." If only I could believe his words.
"It was just a slip -up."
Okay...if this is the same guy saying both of these lines, format this dialog like this:
"It was nothing babe, I didn't even mean for it to happen."
If only I could believe his words.
"It was just a slip-up."

Or:

"It was nothing babe, I didn't even mean for it to happen." If only I could believe his words. "It was just a slip-up."

Make sure the reader doesn't get lost in the conversation; make sure the reader always understands who's talking.

Whoa there! Watch your tenses! I love the line highlighted in blue. It says so much!

Again, make sure the reader doesn't get lost. For a while, I thought you were changing from past to present, or vice versa! The spaces you have between paragraphs and the formatting says a lot; yes, it can make it seem like you're switching from two different times, or starting a new paragraph about something totally different from the paragraph before it. I'm pretty sure you meant to use an ellipse there; there's no punctuation mark that has two periods in a row.

'We'? Who's 'we'? You jumped topics. First, you were talking about the girl and her mom, now the girl and her boyfriend.

Lol, it sounds like she morphed into a gate! Be careful.

Oh, and remember: no spaces between ellipses and the rest of the sentence. Maybe you should re-write the 'to tell me that he broke us' part. It's a bit strange.


Overall:


This is nice. I'm not crazy about this, but I can say...that this is nice! Good. Decent. Watch your ellipses and your possessive apostrophes, okay? :wink: Keep a close eye on them for me.

Hope I helped! Please keep on writing! Cya round-
