"Have you got your bag Emma?"
"YES mum" I smiled at the exasperation in my daughter's voice, I knew she had the ruddy bag, but it was a routine I was comfortable with, and one I wasn't giving up.1

Emma Hart, my beautiful seventeen year old daughter, and my reason for life. I'd had her young, just nineteen years old when I fell stupidly in love with a college guy named Kyle, and was niave enough to think he'd stay when he found out i was pregnant. Yeah right, I showed him the scan and he showed me his fiance, great. However I couldn't complain, because i got Emma. We had always been close, being a single mother and her my only daughter we were completley dependant on each other, of course we had some hell raising shouting matches, but who doesn't? 3

It didn't stop me liking her, and nothing could stop me loving her.56
It was at that point when I heard the CLUMP CLUMP of my dainty daughter coming down the stairs, her short blonde unbrushed curls hung around her face and her school skirt was far to short; however I knew better than to comment on either of these things. 7
"I'm be late tonight mum, going to town' she mumbled as she sped past me to grab her lunch, and then ran towards the front door.8
"Hey, Emma" she skidded to a halt just before smacking into the door.9
"What" she called, annoyed "I'm late!"10
I shrugged, "Bye!"11
It was then that she smiled at me, her proper smile, that lit up everything around her.12
"I love you mum" and then she blew me a kiss.13

That was the last time that I ever saw my daughter.15

I am not sure if I like this or not. I am not sayin the writing is bad or anything I have just not seen enough of the story. I am intrigued enough to give it a little chance though. I will say I do not like stories that open with exposition. That may just be me though. Oh, a littl note The title Emma has been used for a few books including recent ones
-
Well gee golly, now I want to read the rest of this. Good start to the story.

Yes, very intrigued.
I'd love to read more! I want to know what happened to Emma, if that is what will happen in chapters 1 and 2. :] Please do put them up!
Personally would have liked it to be a bit longer, and the odd spacing you have bugs me, but other than that I rather like this, even if its a big short. ;]
-
-
I know, I'm trying to fix the spacing but it keeps going very strange :S the next few chapters are up
-
-
WOW!
i think the idea is great! hahaha, i cant wait to read it...
i loved the ending line, its so dramatic.
-
good.
-
niave -> naive
out i was pregnant -> I
A good start..could use some work on grammar and the reader needs a little more of the emotion between mother and daughter.
I think the ending was good because it left me wanting more...
-
bravo
can't wait to read more! luff you! <3
