Inheritor (WILL BE RECEIVING MASS EDITING)

Chapter One

Chapter One {Megan}

I woke up to the sound of a voice calling me from downstairs.

"Come on Megan it won't be that bad." I heard my mom holler from the kitchen. I groaned and slowly dragged myself out of my bed, then staggered downstairs towards the kitchen where my mom, Karen, was standing. She tapped her foot impatiently against the tiled floor. I ignored her and shuffled past where she was standing, towards the refrigerator. I grabbed out a chocolate shake and an apple, then propping myself on a chair at the breakfast bar.

"Do I have to go?" I muttered to Karen, and then took a bite out of the apple.

Karen grimaced in pain as if it took almost all her will to not cry and walked towards me, putting her hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes with her deep hazel brown ones. I stared back at her, watching her eyes sparkle, then thinking about my own eyes, which where dull and blue like my father's but I hated Tom. I hated him for leaving me and my mom. I hated him for letting us almost starve to death on the streets. For three straight years, I had to work double jobs and drop out of school so that I could support me and my mom, who had epilepsy which was a seizure disorder, so she couldn't go to work anymore. But now the mother that I supported for three years when my dad was supposed to support us, wanted me to live with him so that she could sell the house and live with her sister , Aunt Lian. My mom wanted me to graduate, to have a happy life instead of continuing to work double jobs to support what there was left inside of me when I grew up, after my mom died. She knew that she was going to die and I couldn't help it, I knew too.

"Megan." She said stroking my brown curls, which snapped me back into reality. I looked into her eyes again and saw the same sorrow when dad left us.

"Ok, I'll go." I said to Karen, giving her a quick hug, I ran upstairs to get dressed and then came back downstairs in my morning glory strapless blue dress with a mini jacket to add to it. She looked at me with one quick eye motion and smiled warmly.

"You look beautiful Megan." She said to me and gave me my luggage, then motioned me outside towards the car. I accepted and rolled my down the hall way towards the front door, pushing it open and was greeted by a soft cool breeze. It was really rare for Waco to have cool weather but I guessed today was special, the day that I would finally start a new life, to not work as a waitress anymore , to not spend late hours working. This was the day that I would finally become a normal seventeen year old. I smiled to myself and muttered one last goodbye to my home, my old home for now on. The second that I stepped into the car, I knew that I would never be coming back to Waco ever again.

"I know how hard it is for you Megan but if you don't hurry up, you’re going to be wet from the rain and late for the plane." Karen said as she took my luggage and escorted me towards the backseat while she hauled my bags into the back trunk, then walked to the front of the car and positioned herself into the driver's seat. She twirled the keys in her fingers skillfully turning the keys into ignition.

"Are you sure that you'll be able to drive mom?" I asked nervously worried about what would happen if she had another seizure while driving on the highway.

"It's okay honey I got this." She said firmly, and pulled out of the driveway towards the airport, away from home. The home where I spent my entire life as a child. The home where I first learned how to walk, sing, draw it was all disappearing farther and farther as the car moved slowly across the never ending road. Finally I looked away as the last glimpse of my home, my old home, was gone.

"Megan are you okay?" My mom said worriedly, I suddenly noticed that I had been crying silently when I had been watching my home disappear. I quickly sat up and straighten myself and gave her an assuring smile that everything was fine.

"I'm okay mom..... I...I was just so excited to go see dad that I forgot how much I missed him." I lied to her giving her another fake smile. Karen raised an eyebrow and stared at me through the mirror with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. She knew that I hated my father and that I couldn't have already forgiven him.

"Are you sure that you're okay honey?" She asked with the same suspicious hint that she had in her eyes.

"I'm okay mom, trust me I'm fine." I said in a fake annoyed voice, as I pulled out my iPhone 5 and started surfing on the web with my eyes pretending to be glued to the screen. She rolled her eyes at me and continued to drive as she swerved left and right skillfully past cars. Karen had been a professional race car driver before she had married Dad. She had won so many awards in the Genesis Book of World Records for fastest and youngest racer alive, but because of my Dad, she lost it all. I hated him so much that I couldn't even bear to look at him when he came to visit us last Christmas. I looked away from my iPhone and gazed out the window again. It had finally stopped raining. I continued to scan the surroundings outside the raindrop glazed window, stopping to look at the sign that was slowly growing larger in size.

"Welcome to Waco Regional Airport." I read silently to myself as I began to count how many seconds I had left before I would leave Texas.

Forever.
