Friday At 7:30 pm

The plane ride was long. I was contemplating on just using the bathroom but i hate public restrooms. "30 more minutes alex, you can do this." i said to myself. I left my moms home in Canton, Ohio to live with my Sister. It isn't anything special, me and her aren't close. In fact, im not actually living with her, she's just letting me borrow her penthouse while she lives with her boyfriend in LA. My mom however, thinks im actually living with her. she would be livid if she knew i was on my own, after all im only 17. But, My sister and i agreed i was old enough to take care of myself. Therefore we wouldn't tell mom.

The plane landed and before i knew it, i was standing right in front of my sister.
"Nicole.." i said.

"hey brat, you ready to go?" she asked as if she couldn't stand the sight of me much longer.
i nodded my head and she took my bags for me. The drive was quite interesting, it was too quiet. And then she spoke.

"how long has it been 2 years?"
"4" i replied not caring to have a conversation with her.

i could feel her eyes burning through the back of my neck as i looked out the window.
"so, you hate me now?" nicole responded with a blank tone.

"nicole lets not.."
"no, tell me. 4 years and i'm letting you stay in my penthouse.."
"you mean your boyfriends penthouse? you owe me this! you owe mom a lot more. you just left nicole, for some guy knowing mom was struggling! i was struggling! i needed my big sister..and you were off being a sl-" i bit my tongue, this is exactly why i dont keep contact with my sister. Although i had to admit she was still very beautiful. she dyed her hair black, like mine. we always preferred long hair, it complimented our faces. her makeup was simple, her body was well toned and in shape. But she's always been that way, can't say her boyfriend had anything to do with this. i've never even met the guy. neither has mom.
i felt horrible for the way i spoke to her moments ago, but i guess i had been wanting to say that for a long time.

i looked over at her, and she had her sunglasses on. i could tell she was holding back from saying anything mean. we didn't speak the rest of the car ride, but thats okay because we pulled up to the penthouse and it was absolutely beautiful. i got out the car and just stared at it with absolute admiration.

There was music blasting 2 houses down. i turned to look and seconds later nicole is setting my bags down on the porch. she handed me the key and took her glasses off to look me in the eyes.

"i never meant to hurt you or mom alex, i just did what i had to do to make my dreams come true. but you are my family, my sister and i love you. call me whenever you need to." she kissed my head. i didn't have a chance to respond because once again she was up and gone, i stared down at the party once more and just picked up my bags to walk inside my house. i unlocked the door to a beautiful perfectly arranged and remarkable home.

everything was color coordinated and looked like it took a lot of detail and time to be made. i dropped my bags, and took a little tour of my new home. i ran my fingertips along the marble setting of the kitchen bar. i watched the sun set out the patio, and walked back to get my things. i ran upstairs, and there were 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

i took the master bedroom which i could tell was my sisters at one point. she left some of her perfume i began smelling them and had to hold my tears back. i missed her more than usual. i wish we were close, but it was far too late to build a relationship with my sister. i walked in her closet, and it was much bigger than i anticipated. im pretty sure it made me look like i hardly had any clothes. There was a card on the shoe desk adressed to me.

Alexandra;
i told you i love you. and i know money doesnt always make up for lost time but it does make up for lost shopping. i wasn't able to leave any food, clothes and other items. This card should cover that, there's about 5,000 on here. be careful, spend wisely. i also set up an interview for you at London Studios, dress sharp she can be pretty picky about her interns but you'll be making quite enough money. Mom also told me she didn't want her baby walking. but, im not driving 300 miles everyday just to take you places. I asked Jared to help me get you a brand new 2015 volvo which should suffice? mom told me you had your license, consider it a welcome home /congratulations surprise.  In case of any emergencies there's an extra 10,000 in a bank account i opened for you. be thankful alex, i never had this kind of help being out here on my own. i love you, call mom when you've settled in. xoxo Nicky

she's right about one thing she gave me a lot more than what i wouldve asked for. i began unpacking my bags, setting up my room. as soon as i finished, i called my mom. she answered pretty fast..

"baby?" mom said with worry in her tone.
"yes mom?" i said trying not to laugh. she was always the one to worry even when there was nothing to worry about.

"what took you so long? i got so worried! wheres nicole, she isnt answering her phone!" she began to shout in my ear.

"mom, shes showering! ill tell her to call you, but ive gotta finish unpacking and go to my new school to collect my books. things are great already quit worrying so much. okay?" i heard silence for a second and then a sigh of relief in my ear.

"okay, im sorry i just want you safe at all times. you leaving was the hardest thing that's ever happened to me. good luck with everything okay? im so proud of you babe. make changes in the world." she blew a kiss to me and that was the end of our conversation. i told her i loved her but i didn't want to say good bye because good bye means forever. and im not leaving her for forever.

i text nicole what i said to mom and let her know that she wants to talk her. all i got for a reply was an okay.

i head downstairs to look in the fridge. there was hardly any food to eat, she was right. i needed to go shopping. as soon as i stopped by the school first. i walked to the garage where my keys were hanging beside the door above the garage light switch. i had my purse on my shoulder. it was my first time diving myself, i got in the car putting my seatbelt on and starting the engine.

i opened the garage door with the control in my small compartment under my arm. i backed out and set the directions on my phone to lexington high school.
