The Beautiful Royal Castle Before the Divorce of the King and Queen.
Once upon a time there was a prince and a princess who lived with their parents, the King and Queen, in a beautiful castle. The prince's name was Jonathan; the princess' name was Genevieve.
But one day something terrible happened; their parents got divorced and decided to live in two separate castles.The kids loved the Queen's castle because it was a '' home'' not just a house. She always knew what to say to sooth them and knew just what to do when they were sick.
The king, on the other hand, was not so good at being a doctor, and he tended to make matters worse by yelling rather then soothing them. His house was probably neater than the queen's because she had the kids more than he did which meant she had more of a mess and less time to clean it! Both the King and the Queen loved both of thier kids, but showed it to completely different ways.
They got divorced because they had VERY different ways on how they each thought they should raise their kids and they had too many differences that they couldn't work out or so they say the couldn't. To many things had been done that they couldn't fix, forgive or try to work out. Both the kids at different times felt it was their fault, but after talking to a very kind, and understanding counselor they laerned that it wasn't their fault and they couldn't do anything to change the simple fact that their parents were getting a divorce and that things would eventually get better and be a lot less stressful.
Genevieve was in the 7th grade and had a ton of homework. She had a lot of friends which was good until now. But now that she was moving she would have to say goodbye to all of her friends and go to a new school in a new school district. She would have to make all new friends. She couldn't even imagine how to say "Goodbye".
Jonathan was in the 2nd grade. He had some friends, not as amny as his sister. But he had friends. He was more of the quiet type, unlike his sisterwho talked a lot about her feelings. The same guy who helped his sister also helped him a lot too.
AUTHOR: This story is about my life now. I am Genevieve and my brother is Jonathan. These are not our real names; they are just names I chose to give us. I can't tell you how the story ends because it has not happened in my life yet. I can't make one up because this is a personal narrative and the events are real. The events have to happen before I can write them down; they need to be in chronological order.
If I wrote something, but something else happened after I wrote the ending and then I went back - (1) It wouldn't be the truth, and - (2) It wouldn't make sense. So I'll try to keep up with the story and you can e-mail me and ask any question you might have. I'll try to answer them the best I can.
Thanks a lot,
Genevieve
