Bad Blood

chapter one

I'm awaken to the familiar sound of screaming. I can hear my mom and dad in the kitchen yelling at eachother. This happens about every other night now, it used to never happen but ever since my fathers parents have died in the car crash earlier this summer he's been going out every night and not coming home until late at night.

I check the time on the clock, it's 1:25 in the morning.

I have something really big happening tomorrow, and It's leaving for college. So it was already hard enough going to sleep because of the excitement but of course I'm awaken by my parents arguing.

......

I'm awoken by my mother who looks very put together this morning, despite the events from last night but I guess she's just trying to look her best when she brings me to the airport.

My father has already left for work. He leaves very early in the morning to go work in a factory in the city.

I roll out of my queen size bed and walk to the bathroom down the hall. I cringe when I look at myself in the mirror and see my appearance.

My long brown hair is tangled, very wavy, and under my blue eyes are dark. I didn't get much sleep after I was awoken by my parents yelling at eachother. I never do but somehow I manage.

I get ready the usual way I do but this morning I added some concealer and mascara. I barely every wear makeup only mascara on certain occasions but lately I've been having to wear concealer a lot more because of the loss of sleep.

"Lillian you better be up and getting ready! Your going to miss your flight if you aren't ready in 10 minutes!!" My mother screams from downstairs

I choose to ignore her and just continue to get ready and make some noises so she knows I'm awake and moving around.

By the time I've checked my suitcases for the third time this morning I'm ready to leave.

At 10 we are about to leave my childhood home. I'm very ready to leave, Slidell is a small town and I'm ready to get out and meet more people and experience new things.

Most people have never even heard of Slidell, Louisiana. It's only about 30 out of New Orleans, the party city of the United States as my friends and I call it.

Once again my mother is screaming at me to come downstairs and get into the car before we are late to the airport.

I take one last look at my childhood room, light blue walls with black and white decorations all over. I'm ready for a change of scenery. I've been living in this house since I can remember and I'm 18 now!

The drive to the airport is mostly my mother saying how much she's going to miss me and how far away Duke University is. North Carolina is very far away from Louisiana.

I was very happy to be accepted into to Duke though, my grades are amazing and i did many extra credits during my high school experience to have a good transcript.

.....

When we arrive at the airport my mother is full on sobbing as I get my boarding pass and make my way to security.

With a long hug and kiss goodbye I left my mother standing there in the airport and got in the security line.

"Flight 282 to Durham, North Carolina now boarding" the lady with the quite annoying voice calls over the speaker.

I have already revived a text message from my mother saying that she misses me already, I find it kind of annoying to be honest but ever since dad got the new job and stays out late at night it's usually only her and I there.

My bother ,Cameron, who is 24 but is not attending college but pursuing his dream of being an actor moved to Los Angeles, California about 6 years ago. He's actually really good and has been in some small moving but he always tells us he has to work his way up to fame and success.

As I step onto the plane I respond to my mother telling her I love her and I will call her when I land in Durham, North Carolina.

Now I am beginning to grow nervous, I don't know what Duke has to offer me and I can't wait to find out.

So obviously i have decided to start a new story. I think this one will be a lot better than the other because almost all of the story's I have read about nash or one of the boys have something to do with magcon.

the fan fiction After has persuaded me to go out of the box and write something unrelated to magcon like Anna Todd did with the one direction crew.

I hope you all like this, I really like it so far and it's a lot more fun to write without having it be related to magcon somehow.
ENJOY!!(:
