[center] Rose Petals
The faint sound of rain tapping against the window hadn’t lulled Rose to sleep. So many thoughts running through her head made in impossible to sleep. Tomorrow she would choose who she would stay with for the next two years of her life; her parents were splitting up after sixteen years of a loveless marriage. Rose blamed herself silently for this, she was the reason for them getting married being just sixteen herself. She was a love child, not wanted but then loved as she entered the world.
She remembered seeing pictures of her parents wedding, it was simply beautiful. The colors of a deep, intimate pink and an off white decorated the church. Her mothers dress was an off white and strapless, her father’s tux was black with that same pink for his tie. The last little detail was pink rose petals sprinkled down the aisle carefully. Her parents had told her that’s how she got her name. As Rose remember the pictures of the actually ceremony, her mom and dad standing at the alter, she saw that look of regret and then the small bump that was her mothers stomach, her.
Thinking about her parents unraveling marriage brought tears to Rose’s eyes, but deep down she knew it wasn’t really her fault. She whipped the tears quickly away and turned to her other side. She finally felt like she could go to sleep with out a prolong stress keeping her awake. Her eyes drooped until she finally slept peacefully.
“Rose! Rose get up!” Her mother yelled, ripping the covers off of her body.

Its a nice start, let me know if you write more.
thanks I hope I keep writing. I start something and then run out of ideas so I will pm you once I write a page or too. You really helped me thanks!
I think the first and last sentences are rather stereotypical....try and come back with something a little different....
Think of it like this...you're a sales person trying to sell your story....nooone is going to carry on being interested if everyone starts with the same point....
It needs to be memorable and eye catching!
The rest of it is ok though....love the detailed description
I like it so far, your MC seems real already.
I really like this. I know I've pretty much ripped it apart, but take it as a compliment! I don't usually bother unless I think the writer has the potential to reallydo well with what they're writing and from what I can see you have some real potential with this! I'd be happy to critique more of it if you continue with this, just PM me.
