Diary of Darsy

Chapter two - New life,New City

We're on the road to the airport. I had just finished saying goodbye to Tracy before we hit the road. My Dad and I haven't said a word to each other in the car since he started driving.
Let me just play some music. I thought.
As I reached for the music player, my dad hold my hand stopping me. I immediately snatched my hand back while rubbing it.
" You know Darsy, all the things am doing right now is for your best interest. I care about you a lot and I wouldn't want to hurt you intentionally". My Dad said
" (I scoffed) Oh which part huh?, Which part of what you did is for my best interest. The part where you always came home drunk every night , or maybe the part where you messed up the house and I had to pick up your sh*t for you every time. Huh?, Which part!!!".
" Don't you dare talk to me like that young lady, you know what I've been through. You're not the only one who lost someone. I lost my wife too!! and I tried to be strong for you but it's just hard. Living life everyday with the guilt knowing I could have somehow saved your mom but I couldn't".
" It's been 11 years Dad and I do not want to talk about this now. You have no excuse for what you've done cause I have seen it harder. After the incident, you know I spent six good months unconscious in the hospital and after that I had freaking nightmares every single night and as if that wasn't enough, panic attacks has been an everyday thing for me. Both in school and in the house. But I thought that I had my dad so I would be able to survive this pain little by little. But instead I had to go and spend another 6 months in a foster home cause you couldn't get yourself together. Damn it what a father of the year ( I said sarcastically). And now when you're finally alright, you want to talk about getting your career back in track. ( I chuckled loudly) What about all the father daughter years we've missed huh?. Did it never cross your mind that I haven't had a Father for 11 good years Dad!!".
" I um-, I am so so sorry, words cannot explain how sorry I am baby. I promise I will fix everything. Los Angeles is the plan baby girl. Trust me, everything is going to be alright, we are going to have an awesome time and I promise to fix everything, fix us darling. Don't worry, please give me a chance ".
I didn't want to listen to my Dad's fake promises so I said
" Just drive please, I don't wanna stay here anymore " . I sighed.
"Oh okay darling, we are almost near the airport".

We finally arrived at the airport, So we submitted everything we needed to and boarded the plane. We sat in the VIP area. My Dad always likes his space. Normally back in the day, my Mom, Dad and I, we wouldn't even use a normal plane. We always travelled in our private jet all the time. It was fun, just the three of us. I miss those times badly.
In no time, we arrived at Los Angeles California!!. I have been here quite a couple of times whenever there was an event or stuffs and for holidays too.
We came down the plane and what I saw right in front of me was amazing.
Right in front of me was a hyper sports car "Bugatti la voiture noire" which costs approximately $19 million. I immediately turned to my Dad.
"Seriously Dad ?"
" Come on Darsy, you deserve the best, let's go try it".
I followed him quietly as he entered the driver's seat and I went ahead to enter the passenger seat. Someone had already put our things inside. Then my Dad turned on the car and we left the airport in a swoosh.
We took a long drive to our new house. Or should I call it a mansion. I stepped out of the car to find the biggest mansion i have ever lived in right in front of me. The gates opened by itself and I entered only to see many other cars in there. My Dad said I could pick anyone I wanted as I was turning 18 soon. He sure likes to spend a lot of money. There was a swimming pool at the back of the house and a resting area at the side. I was tired, so I wasn't about to do a total tour of the mansion. My Dad said I should place my palm at a flat surface near the door if I wanted to enter . I did it and it worked. The door opened by it self, with a voice like an AI welcoming me to my new house. I went upstairs and I definitely knew which room was mine. As it was decorated exactly how I liked it, very simple decorations and nothing of great value inside my room. I unpacked my bags and went into the closet room. It was very big, with a lot of designer clothes already inside. "Typical Daddy" I said. I put the clothes I already had in the space there. I quickly pulled off the clothes I was wearing and went into the bathroom straight to shower.
The bathroom was very big, it had beautiful tiled marble floors and walls with a golden sink and bathtub. The shower stand was also made of gold with a glass wall covering the area . I gently hopped into the bathtub and relaxed, soaking into the warm foamy soap water.
An hour later, I had finished my bath and was ready to dress up. Have I mentioned I have bad fashion sense, you guys must have noticed in the first chapter.
But don't worry I would work on it. So I took a white crop top and blue jean shorts with white palm slippers and wore them. Then I put my Mom's photo frame on the my lamp side table gently before heading down stairs.
   I saw my Dad talking to someone on the phone, after he finished, he ended the call and looked at me.
" Hey sweet, I hope you're enjoying your new house".
" Yes Dad, I'm enjoying the mansion that you bought" I said sarcastically.
" That's great darling, So listen now. You would start attending Campbell high by tomorrow, I don't want you missing out on any more classes because of me alright". My Dad said.
" You mean the prestigious Campbell hall school".
"Yes darling, you're going to enjoy the school. It's a great school. I have registered you as a transfer student already, as you can see I had just finished talking to the principal on the phone".
  " Oh okay, I guess I have to prepare for my big day. I will be going to bed early now. Night.
" Alright dear, you can look up the school on your phone before you go to bed".
"Okay" I said and went back upstairs. I jumped on my bed and listened to Billie Eilish song -" What was I made for" before falling asleep.

   My Dad drove me to my new school today. I got out of the car and entered the school gate not after saying goodbye to my Dad. With a deep breath, I took big large strides into the school building thinking of what awaits me in there.
