norah miller's history under the cut.
so here are a few details about my upcoming girl norah:
born and raised in woodcreek, or. her parents were both big shot lawyers who moved to woodcreek when they found out they were pregnant with norah. they wanted a simpler life for their daughter and they didn't want to raise her in a big city. they took their big-city earnings and bought a decent place in woodcreek where they had set up a small family-owned firm.
norah lived a decent childhood growing up. she pretty much wanted for nothing but it didn't turn her into a brat. her parents made sure that they raised a smart girl with morals and manners. despite their successes in the big city, norah was their biggest accomplishment. they were the quintessential supportive parents. they were both at every dance recital, they chaperoned field trips and school dances. no one could ever say that the millers weren't dedicated. this was in part due to the fact that norah had no other siblings. they wanted her to feel loved.
she was a good student in school. she made her way up the rankings to the top ten in the school with ease, putting her concentration into her studies and extracurriculars instead of her hormones. it wasn't very easy but she managed. still she wasn't one of those bookworm loners who held out at the back of the classroom. she was eloquent and extraverted. she had a group of friends one might consider popular who got her into cheerleading as they all reached high school. she did the whole juggling thing rather well. most people would refer to her as superhuman. in reality she really did have a superb amount of discipline. it was hard not to when her parents raved about how proud they were of her.
all of the puzzle pieces were in place. she had applications out to a bunch of decent schools around the country, her focus on nyu. she was looking at the third best school ranking in her graduating class and her possibilities were endless. after some begging, norah finally gave into her friends and promised them that she would join them at a house party the night after graduation.
at the party she'd had one too many drinks by mistake. her friends kept pushing them at her, getting a kick out of her drunken antics. they thought it was a riot that the "perfect princess" was finally behaving like a bad girl. after a while the novelty wore off and they left her alone in a bedroom at the party. a friend of hers from around town managed to stumble upon her in the bedroom and took care of her for the most part. somewhere in both of their drunken hazes they ended up sleeping together.
norah remembered very little of that night and had woken up alone so she really didn't consider that anything had happened until a month or so later. when other kids in her class were enjoying their summers and planning on how they would get out of the small town and to their colleges of choice, norah had her head in the toilet and was puking up her breakfast, lunch, or dinner. she went to the doctor to figure out how to treat her stomach-thing and found out that she was pregnant. the doctor, the father of a friend of norah's from cheerleading, failed to keep a tight lip and alerted his daughter and thus the whole town before norah even had a chance to notify her parents.
they freaked out on her, yelling at her for making such a "stupid-girl mistake" when she was such a brilliant girl. suddenly she couldn't do right in their eyes. the daughter they were so proud of was tainted and they just couldn't accept her anymore. they kicked her out of her childhood home, leaving her to use the money she'd saved up for college to get an apartment while she looked for a job in town. norah knew she couldn't handle college and a baby at the same time so she opted not to attend nyu and instead enrolled in some online classes which she took while she wasn't waiting tables.
fast forward a year or so and norah is still here in the small town, still waiting tables at the local mom and pop restaurant. she's doing the best she can to raise her child as a single mother both without the child's father and without her parents to support her. every day is a struggle for her but she's learned a routine that has worked for her. of course that pretty much comes with no life and a reliance on those around her who she knows she can truly trust. she doesn't feel like she's fallen from grace. even if that's what everyone from her graduating classes says she did.
