Layla POV
Hey guys I'll tell you guys a little bit about myself my name is Layla Lopez duh, I got dark brown wavy hair with ice blue eyes. I am a swimmer and I have been a swimmer since 5. I'm 17 years old and I live in Mississippi, Greenville. My dad died when I was 11 in a car crash, my mom is still alive. I go to Roosgreen high.
And soon my life will be living hell...
I woke up the next morning, I got out of bed and headed into the bathroom, and looked into the big mirror. My eyes were all red and puffy from all the crying, my cheeks were swollen, and my hair was in knots everywhere. I took a shower, and changed into my favourite gray jogger, with a black crop top, and pulled my hair into a messy bun. I put on some concealer and mascara, and walked out of the bathroom. I know what y'all are thinking...
"How could she be getting dressed and all that when both her parents are dead"
Well, it's because they wouldn't want to see me like this, I'm the happy girl and they like to see me happy and smiling, because that's who I am...the happy girl, but that doesn't mean I'll be happy just like that.
I walked downstairs and I heard a voice speak up.
"Hey...Layla." A woman said.
"Ummm hi...do I know you?" I said in confusion.
She was very tall, like a model, and she had long dirty blond hair, and gorgeous amber eyes, definitely the total opposite of my long dark brown hair and ice blue eyes, plus I'm short has hell 5,3. I seriously had no clue who she was, but apparently she knows who I am. She said
"OMG, I am so sorry, you must be very confused right now, I am Jacklen Miller, I am your mothers childhood best friend...I am here to take you home with me..because of what happened." Her name stuck a bell in my head, she's my mother's best friend since childhood just like she said I've meet her once or twice before.
"Ohhh I know who you are now, but what do you mean I'm coming home with you?"
"Well...since you don't have any relatives, you mother and father agreed a long time ago if anything happened to them, my husband and I would take care of you." She said.
"Okay."
"We need to get going soon we got a flight to catch in three hours, and it takes some time to get to the airport, but we can talk on the plane to San Francisco."
When she said "SAN Francisco" I flipped out. I couldn't help the huge smile that spread over my lips, because I have lived in Mississippi my whole life, and I have never been to San Francisco before, and now apparently I'm gonna live there. She smiles to when she saw me smile, and said
"Yes, I live in San Francisco, but we can talk about that later, now you need to pack."
"Yes!"
I run up to my bedroom and grabbed two of my suitcases and started packing stuff. After I was done packing my clothes and other stuff, I grabbed my favourite photo of me, mom and dad, and I placed it on top of the clothes and zipped up my two suitcases. I slowly walked down the stairs, thinking to myself that this is my last time seeing the house, the house I grew up in, the stairs I feel down every day when I was younger, and by the time I reached the end of the stairs, I had tears in my eyes. When Jacklen saw me, she smiled sad at me, and pulled me into a tight hug, and said
"Everything will be alright Layla, it will get better soon."
I felt like I was about to break down in tears again, so I nodded my head. When she let go of me, we both headed out the front door, I walked to the Uber, not looking back once. I thought about my best friend Aurora, and I know how much she loves San Francisco, I thought about how long I've known her, we did everything together, even swimming together, and now I'm leaving her...
I get in the Uber and he starts driving.
Flashback 7 hours ago
It was a normal Friday, you know the kinda one where you get home from school and throw yourself on your bed drinking a coke with chips watching a movie. I started watching the movie, when out of nowhere the door bell rang. I got up to answer it, I open the door and I see...A police officer on the door step. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. Then the woman spoke up and said
"Umm, are you Layla Lopez?"
Why would she know my name? How the hell does she know my name?
"Umm...yes"
"Well, I'm here to bring sad news, your umm mother passed away due to a stroke....I'm very very sorry."
"What? No! That's not right, I saw her this morning before she left! There must be some kind of mistake, sh-she just left th-this morning, it isn't possible, this is a mistake."
I started crying, and the officer said
"I'm terribly sorry miss Lopez, it is no mistake."
At this point, I was crying so much I couldn't see anything.
How is this possible? There is no way she's gone? Why would she leave me? What have I done to deserve this? I have no other family, where am I supposed to go?
I just can't take it anymore, this information is just too much. I turned around and bolted up to my bedroom. I crawled under my pink covers, burying my head in my pillow, and cried myself to sleep.
End of flashback
During the car ride, I didn't talk that much. We arrive at the airport checked in my bags, went through security, and now we're waiting. After waiting for an hour our flight finally called out the first group which was first class. Which I assumed was not our group, because first class is expensive. Well I assumed wrong I guess, because Jacklen said
"This is our group."
I look at her in shock, I have never flown first class before, so this is my first time. We boarded the plane, and I took the window sit because I love the window sit. When we took off, after about ten minutes, I Looked at Jacklen and said
"So do you have any children?"
"Haha...yes I have..a few boys."
"Okay so how many boys do you have?" She gave me the look that said
'Are you sure you really wanna know'
"Well...I have eleven boys." I felt my jaw drop. Woah I was not expecting that, ELEVEN SONS DAMN! I am barely even Use to being around five boys at school, and now I have to live with ELEVEN of them! WOAH! I said
"Eleven boys ! Please tell me you have at least a daughter."she looked at me and said.
"No, sorry Layla, you will be the first girl that will live under the Miller family, other then me."
"Okay." Was all I could get out of my mouth.
After two hours on this flight we finally arrived in San Francisco!
