Love At First Sight? (An Our2ndLife Fanfiction) -In Editing-

CHAPTER 1 -EDITED-

I kicked off my shoes stepping into the doorway.

"Hey Mom." I greeted walking down the hall into the small kitchen.

"Hey Lexi." She smiled at me and I replied with the best fake smile possible. "How was your day?" She asked and I sighed.

"Amazing, everyone was suddenly really nice to me, I made friends, got a boyfriend, and I finally balanced the axel on the car I've been working on." I laughed and my Mom made that clucking noise with her tongue.

"It'll get better one day, I promise." She smiled ruffling my bangs I laughed and walked up to my room.  I hated this, my entire existence. So I did what I could to solve the situation, I turned on my favorite playlist and Cherry Pie by Warrant came on. I smiled at the song. 'There are still good things' I reminded myself. I laid down on my bed letting my limbs stretch out till I was a giant X.  I let the songs play through the playlist. I tried breathing slower and my eyelids fluttered closed. I let all the feelings and disgusting comments leak out of my head.

"DINNER!" A shout called and I shot up from my bed, music still playing. I felt like I had been asleep for 400 years, and yet, I was still tired. I let a yawn escape my mouth and I stretched my arms and legs out. I walked out my door and still stretching my arms above my head.

"Mom I'm not really hungry." I sighed walking down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Don't care, eat." She replied and she took her seat at the table. I sat across from her. I blinked my eyes and noticed someone else was at the table.

"BOO!" He yelled and I smiled.

"RICKY!" I shouted jumping up from my chair and wrapping my arms around him.

"I've missed you little sis." He smiled returning the hug.

"I've missed you more."

"Doubt it."

"Now, lets eat." My mom cut us off. We sat back down and I still had a smile attached to my face.  We ate the dinner slowly chatting about life. I lied straight through my teeth, telling them about my friend Tyler, his girlfriend Cheryl and her cousin Lillian. We all ate lunch together, I really wish they existed. But, Mom and Ricky found it pretty believable. 

"So, what's with the surprise visit?" I asked finally cutting to the chase. That was a weird phrase I guess it meant like film stuff cutting to the chase scene but why did we use it for getting to the point of things. That was another getting to the point, was that talking about talking till you got to the period? I mean that's the only meaning I could think of.

"Well, Mom's been worried sick about you." Ricky spoke breaking me away from my thoughts about expressions.

"Why is that?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"Well, you're barely passing your classes, and girl you haven't gone out and had fun in months." He said. Well, duh I wasn't leaving the house ever since it happened I hadn't left the house. I went to class and I came home that was all. Plus I was only doing terribly in classes because they were all AP classes and I wasn't that good at school anymore.  Things had happened and I wasn't who I was before and that was okay I was recovering.

"It's fine." I spat trying to get them to back off the topic.

"Well, we talked about it and we thought maybe you'd like to move in with me and the other O2L boys. It'd be like a fresh start, they don't know you, and it's a new area. The only constant would be me and I think that it would help." He smiled and I knew he really liked the idea. I didn't know. I felt like leaving meant leaving the problem alone, but maybe that's just what I needed to do. Leave it here, bury in my mind and move on. Go somewhere new start over.  I guess it couldn't get any worse. Life couldn't get any more crappy if I was away from here, but living in a house full of guys didn't sound to fantastic either. I mean all guys and no girls I can't imagine the crap I would have to put up with. I mean I'm not playing mommy for these guys. Where did that come from too, 'playing mommy' there's no way I'm the first one to say that. I'm not the first person to think that am I? I thought for a moment where someone else had said something similar.

"I mean you don't have to." Ricky broke me away from my thoughts again. I was doing that a lot lately spacing out.

"No, I think I want to go. I mean it can't get any worse by leaving. And if all else fails I'll come home keep reliving that moment in my brain while hiding out in my room." I rushed 'hiding out' that was another one it wasn't really hiding out it was hiding in. That didn't sound as cool though. Hiding in would be pretty lame.

"Great our flight leaves 2 days from now, and we've got you registered for online school in Los Angeles, California. You ready to become a Cali girl?" Ricky asked his smiling taking up his face.

"I think, I'm ready to become a Cali girl. Dearest brother I think being a Cali girl is just what I needed. "

So that's the first chapter of the re-write, I like it much more than the original first chapter. Anyway love you all, Lexi.
