At the age of 17 Mariana Deliro is given a multi-million dollar company, by who? That's anyone's guess. Money may seem like a blessing but don't be fooled, it's a curse in disguise. With money comes: lying, deceit, betrayals and even a twisted myste...

"Not only was she alive in 2012, she's alive today and I know exactly where she is." What? No way this is happening?
"No freaking way." I say in utter shock. Honestly I came prepared for the worse, as always but this time was different. I'd given up hope after my dad said she had died. When those words came out of his mouth my heart was broken and I fully believed him, even when he could've been lying. I didn't want to have false hope to be let down again. He lied, making him yet another person who's lied to me. I'll add that to the growing list.
"She's in Florida, Miami to be precise, she works at a flower shop."
"She's alive." I say with a huge smile on my face.
"She's alive." Jackson confirms smiling back at me. I quickly walk over to him and practically jump into his arms.
"I know exactly where she lives and works if you want to know." Quinn says when we pull away.
"Yes please." She scribbles down the address on a piece of paper and hands it to me. "Thank you Quinn I can't even explain how much this means to me. If you ever need anything, you just let me know." She gives me a small nod. I turn to Wes "and thanks for letting me steal her."
"It's not like I had a choice but the dumping ice cream on Tyler's head made it worth it."
"Doing what now?" Quinn asks in suprise.

"So are we flying to Miami? I can have the plane ready to go in half an hour." Jackson says as we walk into his house.
"Not yet." I say. "My mom's getting suspicious of me avoiding her and not going home, if I miss school she'll be furious and she'll never trust me with anything ever again. She obviously didn't kill Penny so she isn't capable of hurting her family so I think I'm safe to go back home for now. I think we should wait a little while before going go Miami so we don't raise suspicion. And honestly I'm not ready. What if we get there and she doesn't want to talk about it or even worse what if she doesn't remember me? Or what if she does and she hates me, for taking the company or something."
"She's not going to hate you, no one in their right mind could ever hate you." He says. "But if you need some time, that's ok." He says. "So are you staying back at your house tonight?"
"Yes. I'm not going to feel completely safe for a while but it's a start."
"Call me if you feel unsafe, I'll pick you up. It doesn't matter what time." He says. "And just so you know I'm going to miss you in my bed."
"The last part was unnecessary."
"Was it though?"

"You and Jackson are dating?" A blonde haired girl exitedly asks me, marking the fifth random person that's asked me that today. What the fuck is going on? I don't even know you, how do you even know me and Jackson?
