You Make Me Crazy - Twilight Fanfic (FINISHED)

Chapter 2 - Now boarding Group 3 *updated*

This chapter originally had some offensive language that I am not proud of (wrote it back in 2012) so it has been changed and updated. 

And so, my mother dragged me, perhaps not literally kicking and screaming, but more like scowling and glooming, to the JFK airport all the way to the gate. She had bought her own ticket simply to serve as my very own escort to the plane.

"This is all a little excessive, don't you think?"

"I know you, Macy, you're not about to run away or say you missed your flight. I would personally hand deliver you if I didn't have your sister coming over this weekend."

I tilted my head, nodding and rolling my eyes, "Ah, yes. The golden child."

"I hope one day you'll see I'm looking out for your best interests. Lake Lupe is absolutely beautiful, and it'll do you some good to be close to your extended family. Your uncle can teach you a lot about your heritage," there was a pause, "And if things work out, maybe we won't have to keep moving. One day it'll all make sense and you'll... Macy, are you listening?"

In truth, I was listening. However, stating otherwise would've made her angry. Her thin eyebrows knitted together as her wide eyes stared me down. I took that moment to give her one last look.

All the times I have moved around, I have always been with my mother. This time was a first I would be without her. Or my sister. I had really done it this time, to earn an express solo ticket to yet another state. I had almost thought I was done moving around. We stayed in New York for a year. I got comfortable. I made friends. It wasn't fair. But here I was about to be on a plane to Oklahoma, of all places. I was dreading it, whether it was the thought of starting all over again or doing it alone—I didn't know and didn't want to know. Knowing would mean acknowledging some part of me would miss this complicated relationship with my mother. So, I stared at her. Her eyes, her nose, her mouth, her entire face, which looked all too similar to my own. And then I rose my eyebrows, masking any evidence of concern on my face with blankness.

"Oh, you were talking?"

"Macy!" her hands flew up as though they wanted to strangle the air, "You make trying to connect with you so hard! When are you going to quit?"

"Now boarding Group 3"

I shot up from my seat with my pass in hand, "Well, that's me, better get going now," I said as I grabbed my carry on and dragged it forward, "And don't worry I'll be a very good well behaved little girl for my uncle. I'll think to myself, what would Daisy do?" The sardonic tone in my voice was palpable. My mother could only sigh and cross her legs in return. Her arms folded across her chest. She said nothing else as I turned to join the line of the other boarders. I wasn't expecting a hug or a goodbye kiss from her and I didn't look back as I neared the entrance. However, I'd be a liar to say deep down I didn't need one. This was... routine, it was all routine. But this time around, I wouldn't get attached especially not to some boring little town and I doubted it had anything to offer me. Heritage my ass!
