My Girls

It had been 5 years since we graduated HA and I'm about to graduate Collage. I'm on my Christmas brake and I'm on my way back to LA to meet up with some of the investors for my first movie.

I was lucky that I sent my first horror movie by accident to Mr. Jason McCabe. He is a huge fan of horror movies and is always looking for new scrips. Mine was about a teenage girl who was looking for revenge after someone murdered her secret lover.

As I walked into my childhood home I could hear my father in his office. I saw him walking towards me as he noticed I had just entered the house.

"Jade, you are early. I was gonna finish up my papers and then cook dinner for us. T bone with mash potato and gravy with a side salad. You're favorite" he said with a smile as he hugs me.

"Hi daddy. I took a early flight. I wanted to spend as much time with you and Cat while I only have 3 weeks off and I want to do much during that time" I said as I have him a kiss on his cheek.

We decided to eat outside tonight instead of cooking dinner. It was not often we could do that since I was never home.

We went to a new high end restaurant called Elitoria. The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly and always there if we needed anything.

The place seemed to be packed and I noticed that you needed to book 2 months in advance if you wanted to eat here. I also noticed that everyone seemed to know who my father was.

"Dad, how come the staff here knows who you are? And the waiting list here is about 2 months so did you plan this?" I asked him and I could  see that he was hiding something.

He looked down on his plate and stopped eating. He stared at me. Guilt in his eyes and nodded.

"Before I tell you, you need to promise me not to be mad and try to understand the situation" he said as I nodded my head.

He got up and walked into the kitchen where. Before I could even understand why he walked in there like he owned the place there was a scream.

"YOU WHAT? WHY? NO.. YOU PROMISED ME THAT I WOULD DO IT IN MY OWN TERMS" a familiar voice said as I could feel my skin crawl.

I realized it was HER voice and it scared me. I haven't seen her since graduation when I broke it off with her to go to New York because I had a better chance to become someone. To have a future and someday have a family of my own. She had been calling me the first 2 months but then it stopped. I figured she gave up on us and also because I didn't answer her calls.

A month after the calls stopped I realized how stupid I was. How much I loved her and wanted to be with her so I called back but to my suprised her number was out of service and I guess she change it. That was the biggest mistake of my life and I miss her everyday.

My thoughts of train was interrupted when my father was back and gave me a faint smile. Then I noticed that she was walking  towards us. To my surprise she was wearing a chefs cloths. Hair up in a bun and she greeted the people while walking.  Her smile disappeared when she stopped at our table.

"Jade" she said with venom and I just looked at her. She had change into a beautiful woman.

"T..Tori" was all I could say before a little voice interrupted us.

"Mami" I saw a little girl with wavy brown hair and green blue eyes and familiar cheekbones.

I stared at the little girl and I realized she looked a lot like me when I was a toddler. My eyes widen and realization hit me like a ton of brick.

"Jade, sweetie.. meet Elizabeth Victoria Vega" my father says as he looks at me.

"Ho..how.. old.. is she" I asked with a low voice. Tears about to brake down my face.
