[quote="Mike_Expo"]Here's a little preview of the third installment of [i]Origin[/i], which some of you may have read on Solace. To anyone who has been anticipating the third part, sorry for the ridiculous amount of time it has taken to write. I've found that my motivation for writing has dwindled recently, but I'm about ready to finish this installment and move on with the story. I want to have this part done in two weeks, so look forward to it soon.  :D

Feedback on the entire story, an individual section, or the preview below is always welcome. Sorry for sucking so badly lately. This is a direct continuation of what happened at the end of Chapter 2, for anyone following along.

[i]Utterly broken-hearted, Faith watched with a sort of indifferent horror as her hopes and dreams were crucified, then slowly dismembered and tossed away as if they meant nothing at all. She hadn’t asked for much, but even that small request had been too great for her mom. Jesse continued to stay away from the apartment, only reinforcing Faith’s belief that she had somehow fallen from grace, but through no visible mistake on her part; she had done everything right, she had been the perfect daughter…the neglect was beginning to wear dangerously thin on Faith’s patience.  
	
With Kelly still unavailable, no doubt busy doing things with her parents, Faith began to fall back into the monotonous routine of being essentially locked away in a space that seemed to be getting smaller and smaller every single day, a suffocating, crushing feeling that stifled her desire to behave as she had in the past. If her mother couldn’t invest the time and effort to make her daughter’s life interesting, then Faith would take matters into her own hands. In the days between her birthday and Christmas, she ventured outside more and more, eager to relieve herself of the burden that existed inside the increasingly cramped apartment. Outside, she could almost forget the heartache that seemed to follow her wherever she allowed herself to go, a shadow of disappointment that was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. She could feel it when she closed her eyes, the haunting presence of doubt that persistently told her that her entire life had been a waste. When had she ever done anything for her own benefit? Everything she had been, everything she was…it was all based on expectations that were not her own. Jesse had molded Faith into a perfect student, into a young girl with an eye for detail and success, but what about the things that Faith wanted? She had played her part quietly and obediently, striving to achieve the impossible task of making her Jesse into a better, more attentive mother. Faith had invested years of struggle and success, but it had all added up to nothing.

Maybe it was time for a change.
