After 3 days of torture it's finally Mom's funeral. I didn't show up because I know it'll be too hard for me to handle. Xander on the other hand managed it all. He took responsibility for everything. It made me smile when he understood the fact that I didn't want to go.
So I decided to stay at home all day and watch corny romantic movies; all the more reason to make me feel dissapointed with myself.
"no friends not even a lovelife" I mutter to myself sighing and chuckling at thesame time. All because I shut everyone out including my bestfriend except my brother after the incident. Ahhhh this is definitely the life.A few moments later I thought I imagined hearing my phone ring & thats when I realize I'm not imagining it at all. I jumped from the couch and headed straight to my phone. "Hello? Lee speaking" it's pure silent on the other side of the line so "Ok if this is some lame joke, i'm hanging up". "Wait!" I can hear someone shouting. "OK" i told myself. "ok what the fuck Lee?! First off I get it that you need time to heal yourself after everything you've been through but will it kill you to at least text me and say Hey! just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive?! We aren't bestfriends for no reason you good for nothing animal!!!! Before you hung up I wanna tell you that I'm coming over with Ky and LM! and if you even think for a second you're gonna barricade your door DON'T! I have a brand new chainsaw I would like to test out on your fucking expensive door!" and then she hunged up. I laugh at everything she said. What's the chainsaw for anyway. Well that's Liz all right, my annoying bestfriend who always seems to make me laugh and is always there for me. I cant believe I shut her out without saying a word. I feel sorry for what I did. I guess I need to apologize to her when she comes over.
An hour later I hear my door bell ring. I'm lying in my bed and too lazy to get up. I thought maybe it's just Liz and the guys but if it was her she shouldn't even be ringing the door bell in the first place.
Considering it is her, she'd definitely bulge right in making noises throughout the house. But the doorbell still wouldn't stop ringing, that's when I finally decide to get up and lazily get out of my room "I'm coming! I'm coming! Jeez!" I swing "open the door with an annoyed look on my face "Jesus! I said I'm com...." bam! right in front me is this gorgeous looking guy. Midnight hair, amazing jaw line, deep crystal black eyes, and a smirk on his face. "My name's not Jesus you know" is all he says. I stood there gazing like an idiot. Completely mesmerized by his face. He stood 6 ft tall and I can smell his minty perfume from where I'm standing. Damn he smells so good I thought to myself. I haven't even realized that I'm smiling like a little girl who found herself to candy paradise. "uhm its dripping" he says with an amused look on his face "I'm sorry what?" "your drooling all over the place, are you done checking me out?" he laughs so hard, I'm finally back to my senses and he's right "Oh my God this is so embarrassing" I mutter to myself while hurriedly wiping off the 'drool' from my mouth.He is still laughing so hard he's bending over to clench his stomach and me trying to hold in what's left of my dignity. "Are we done laughing or should I leave you so you can go ahead and take your time?" I stated, with my arms crossed in front of my chest.
"Oh God you're classic!" and still laughs as hard as he can get. So I decide to stay quiet and look at him just dead straight in the eyes. That's when he finally relaxed, did a little coughing, and smiled while probably remembering how stupid I looked like.
"So who are you?" I said sounding a little colder than I expected."That's no way to greet a visitor you know" and then laughs a little again. "Alright I get it I'm funny! Get over it already!". "I'm sorry haha (gasping for air) Ok Ok." I see him finally relax again. "Right. On to the point. My name is Sebastian David. I'm your Dad's personal assistant." "Aren't you a little young to be Dad's assistant?" I hear him "Ahem" then he continued "my point is Ms. Lee.." "you can call me Cassandra, no need to be formal" I cut him out. "OK Ms. Lee, your Dad sent me to give you this" he handed a medium sized package with my name on it. I hesitated to accept it at first but when its a gorgeous man who offers you something, You take it, you don't think about it, just take it.
"and what is this?" "That Ms. Lee is your inheritance from your mother." I flinch as I hear him say it was from my Mom. "it was written on her will that you get to have 50% of everything that belongs to her and the other 50% to your brother". Inheritance? I thought to myself. How can I have an inheritance from Mom when she doesn't even have any money. She was just a plain house wife. Stayed at home for as long as I could remember. "I'm sorry. You must have mistaken me for someone else. This is probably a mistake. How can she have something to give me. My mom is just a good old fashioned housewife" I told him and then an amused smile form his face "Well clearly Ms. Lee you have no idea how your Mom makes a living don't you. She owns 3 Big Universities in the City. The only reason she never went out was because she hired people to take care of it for her. She hired 3 of her best friends to manage the Universities she own. She never wanted you to know until you were supposed to turn 21 because she wanted to train you first so that one day when the time is right you would be able to know what to do" he said.This is probably the 2nd time I'm stunned today. I couldn't speak at all. This is just way too surprising. How was she even able to keep this from us this long. "But why give it to me now? I'm still 18. I haven't even graduated High school yet. Don't you think its way too early? And Dad knows about this?" I ask. He nods "Yeah I guess you have a point. But it was also written on her will that whether you turn 21 or not, when something happens to her, everything should be done immediately. yes clearly your dad knows about it because he wouldn't be asking me to give you this now would he" he said with his eyebrows up and amusement plastered on his face. "OH O-OK" I stuttered. " so now that my job here is done I'm heading off. See you again soon!" but before he got into his car I ask him to stay for some coffee I needed some closure, and I thought maybe he could answer some questions that's been bugging me for awhile. He smiled, nodded and I let him in the house. I prepared some hot choco and cookies for us to munch in.
"So how old are you? and how are you my Dad's personal assistant again? you look way too young for such position." I asked while taking a sip of my hot choco.
"Actually I'm not (with a smirk forming in his face) my Dad is his personal assistant its just things are very busy at the office so he asked me to do it for him. Don't you recognize me at all? We go to the same classes everyday." I'm amazed yet again. I can't believe I haven't recognized him.
Then it hit me. I remember him. He's the Jerk in the class. He's the guy who always gets into trouble. He's the one who gets detention everyday because he always smokes at the comfort room. I'm surprised He wasn't kicked out. Then again I remembered Her mom owns the School I go to. He's nothing but trouble. "Oh I'm sorry! I didn't recognize you with the outfit you were wearing today. I mean wow look at you looking like an Entrepreneur Gentleman" I say sarcastically. I never notice how good looking he is not til today.
He chuckles "I guess I'll take that as a compliment then" surprisingly we both laugh. Suddenly he took my hand and says "I'm sorry for your loss though. It must have been very hard for you" with a sympathetic smile. I smiled and shrugged it off "Thank you. well I have to admit, it was really hard at first. I couldn't stop blaming myself. But I'm thankful I still have my brother looking out for me. Dad's never home after she passed away" and I didn't even realize I was crying again. I thought I was over this. Why the hell am I crying again.
And then the unexpected happened, he hugs me, stroking my hair up and down to stop me from crying "I know what it feels like. I had an older Sister who was hurting from everything. I never even noticed she had such sadness in her. I found her on the bathroom lifeless with blood everywhere. She took her own life all because she couldn't handle her break up, what I was doing with my life, and my parents fighting all the time. I couldn't do anything to take it all back and until now my guilt continues to haunt me." He took me by surprise again. He just told me a part of his life that should never be mentioned to someone he just met. I was paralyzed and all I could tell him is "God has plans for everything. Sometimes its just too fucking early". "You're right. So stop slacking around and get your ass moving! I cant find anyone around to mess with at school you know" he smiles with the most genuine smile I have ever seen from him. He then gently cupped his hands in my face and starts wiping off my tears with his thumbs. "So there's no need to cry anymore. You have an amazing brother, and not to mention your funny friends to lookout for you ( he laughed a little ) plus an extra bonus of me as well (he winks) ". My jaw drops. The nerve of this guy. I don't get him, yeah we have been classmates since grade school and this is actually the first time we ever talked. I couldn't think straight. He's giving me this awesome smile and I could feel my tummy with oompa loompas jumping all over the place,and my heart, my heart beating so fast it almost feels like it could pop out of my chest any minute. The only words I could say were "Thank You".
We spent the whole afternoon talking non sense watching cartoons by the fireplace laughing our asses off when I hear the phone ring, so I stood up ran towards it but just when I got there it stopped ringing and went through voice mail. "Hey Lee!! Its Liz! Just called to say we can't come over after all! LM and Me are going out on a date and I completely forgot. I couldn't ask him to move it cause he seemed to have been planning it for weeks. As for Ky he was asked to stay home to babysit Lina. But no worries! Since were the BEST like the B-E-S-T friends you ever had were coming over first thing tomorrow morning!!! Don't go killing yourself OK! Love You! Peace out!" tooo tooot. I laughed at what she said she's just too funny sometimes. So I went back over to Sebastian and I noticed how he was laughing by himself. "you heard?" I giggled. "yeah,you have the most interesting friends" he laughs again. "I try not to kill myself when I'm with them" I chuckle.
