Her worst mistake

Chapter 5, arrival at Quendalhill

Short chapter!! :(

Marie's POV:

I wake up with a tap on my shoulder. "Mmmmhhh" I hummed frustrated "Come on honey you need to wake up! The plain already landed like 20 minutes ago" my mom says softly. I quickly open my eyes and jump up, almost falling over. "It landed, 20 minutes ago!?" I ask shocked with almost nobody on the plain, and still half asleep. "Jeez honey, come on we need to go." My mom says as she's laughing at my reaction. I quickly grab my stuff, and I just stand there while my moms on her phone. "Well let's go!" I yell at my mom as she's just sitting there and now looking at me.

My mom grabs her stuff and she looks at me with a smile. "Why are you in a happy mood?" I ask while raising an eyebrow at her "Because.." my mom says not finishing her sentence. I look at her confused as my mom just ignores me.. how rude! I think to myself

"Ok I'll call an uber!" My mom says out off nowhere, and breaking the silence, but she seems more exited than she was before. "Why are you so excited?" I ask again as we get off the plain. "Oh I'm just excited to see our new apartment!" My mom exclaimed, and finally answering me this time. "Huh? An apartment.. okay." I say a little confused "why do you look so confused?" My mom asks while raising an eyebrow at me. "Oh I just thought...." I say not finishing my sentence. "You thought what?" My mom ask a little mad. "I thought we are going to have an house, cuz I mean we are-" I say but I cut myself off "we are what, Young lady?" My mom asks mad, I swear I can see some steam coming out of her.

My mom never really liked if I say we're rich, she always say that some people don't have the privilege to have the things we have and it's going to be rude if we brag about it, it's not like I would brag in the first place, these are her exact words, 'You are never going to go around and brag about what you have! Some children don't even have food! How would you feel if someone has everything you want?' Honestly I would feel sad, but my mom wasn't the riches growing up and she was bullied about it, so I don't blame her.

"We are rich" I exclaimed nervously as my mom gasp at hearing those words escape my mouth. "Young lady what do I always tell you! You-" my mom says and I cut her off knowing wat she's going to say and finishing the sentence for her "You are never going to go around and brag about what you have! Some children don't even have food! How would you feel if someone has everything you want?" I say out of boredom. "Yes! I taught you well!" My mom says and she looks so proud of herself.

We get outside as we wait for the Uber to take us to Quendalhill. Honestly I don't even know where we are. It's just building's everywhere, I look around to see if I can see Enzo from a few hours ago but I don't see him, I guess he's already somewhere far away from me.

"Ugh!" I say frustrated "what's wrong honey?" My mom asks while looking for something. "Can't this DAMN Uber take any longer?" I asks my mom while looking around to see if I can spot the stupid car. "Oh honey there he is!" My mom says.

She suddenly grabs my arm and drags me to the car "I can walk by myself you know." I reply mad because I look like a child being forced to do something. "Oh we both know you would run away the first chance I give you." My mom replies with a smirk. "I won't run away." I mumble and my mom lets out a chuckle, as we make our way to the Uber, wow the car looks bran new. I think to myself

It's a pretty car.

My voice of reason points out, it is. But it looks like a taxi,

Haha

What's so funny? I ask my voice of reason...

....and she's gone okay?

We get in the Uber and the guy looks friendly. "Hey, where to?" He asks so friendly and with a big smile. "Quendalhill please" my mom says happily. He looks like a nice guy but he looks so familiar for some reason. "Well it's going to be an hour or two depending on traffic." He says friendly "oh okay how much is it going to be then?" My mom asks while he starts the car and begins to drive "Probably about $60" he says nervously. "Oh my, that's expensive." My mom says shocked, and a little dramatic. "I'll make it $50 for you two lovely ladies" he says kindly, and looks in his car mirror to check me out..

Ew ew ew ew

My voice of reason says, ugh! he's probably a pervert.

"Oh thank you" my mom says proudly as she doesn't know that he's looking for something more than just money. "It's okay we'll give you the $60" I say with a smile and my mom glares at me. I take my phone out and I text her what happened.

Me

Mom the guys a pervert.

Mom

How would you know that -_-

Me

What's with the face?

Mom

Answer the question you just cost me $10!! >:(

Me

He was checking me out in the car mirror.

Mom

Oh-

Me

And I'm pretty sure he was looking for something more than just money, you know how some people are, they give you discount than somewhere along the lines you just somewhat happen to need there help but you know 'it's gonna cost ya.' 0 —:

Mom

Uhhh.. okay but what is the op 0 —: supposed to mean?

Me

Never mind mom *-*

I close my phone and look at the window for a few seconds and look back at my mom. My mom looks up horrified, and he looks at her then she quickly smiles. Hahaha it's not even that bad I've had way worse! "Uhh traffic doesn't seem to bad so it probably going to be an hour.." he says suspicious. Than he looks at me, and winks oh and he doesn't forget the weird smile too. "ok" I say. Brushing the weird look he gave me off.

I just sit there in the car while my mom and the driver has a conversation, that's a little awkward now that she knows. What's his name? "What's your name?" I ask tiredly "oh it's umm.. Jack Mason" he says a little hesitatingly, and clears his throat "mmhh ok" I say tiredly "What's your name?" He ask "Marie Madden" I say "That's a pretty name" he says nicely, with a small creepy smirk on his face.."mmhh" I say as a reply.

"Wow honey you sleep to much." My mom says with a chuckle. "Yeah" I reply and slowly drifting into a deep sleep, well hopefully a deep sleep. I don't really sleep at night I'm like a bat or something, I'm awake during the night but I asleep during the day, I'm probably not sleeping because of all the stress, about the new town, will I get friends? Will I be welcomed? I don't know.

I think to much about the future and not now, and that's my biggest problem. As I'm getting lost in my thoughts I get dragged into a deep sleep.

With the sound off my moms voice and Jacks voice, Jack what a common name I think to myself before everything goes black.

"Wake up honey!" I hear my mom say as her voice gets louder, as I wake up "mhhh" "what?.." my mom ask confused "what?" I ask while I'm still waking up. "We're here!" My mom says exited as I open my eyes to see a beautiful large, looks like it's for 'rich people' apartment "yay!' I say still while still waking up "COME ONN!" my mom says as she can't wait to go in. "Yeah, yeah!" I say as I get out the car and grab my luggage. "Aren't you excited?" My mom ask "oh yeah can't wait." I say still waking up and my mom giggles.

We make our way to the front door and my mom opens the door. "Wow" I say now fully awake.
