Chapter one

One year earlier

“Alyssa….. Honey wake up it’s time for school.” mom said. I moan and role over. I don’t want to get up and go to school. New school, new teachers and the worst of all new friend, or enemies. It really depends on how the day plays out.

This wouldn’t be happening if moms new husband just moved into our old house.

“ why did we have to move? We were perfectly fine at our old house.” I wined. I hate the new town that we live in and I hate that mom doesn’t.

“Alyssa your going into eleventh grade and you can’t even handle moving. I don’t think your ready for the world.” she explains. Then she walks out of my room picking up my cloths hamper and taking it with her. my mom can be annoying sometimes but you cant help but love her.

I hurry to get dress. Want should I wear? sorting through my cloths I pick out a summer pink dress and put it on. I grab my white saddles and run down stairs for break fast. On the way down I stop by Greg’s office because I over heard him talking to someone on the phone.

“yes baby, I bring you money for your rent. So are we still meeting up at the apartment tomorrow?” he asked. I hope he has a kid that mom doesn’t know about, or maybe just me.

“don’t worry about Careen. I will just tell her that I have a meeting and have to stay late. Plus I will do anything for you…….oh ok…..love you too… bye!” he whispered.

He cheating on mom. This cant be happening. We just moved hear and already this family is going to be torn apart. I have to tell mom, but I don’t want to. I was starting to like Greg but now I hate him with all my guts.

I cracked opened the door and slipped in. his computer chair was turned around. I don’t know how to start. should I go ‘your cheating on mom’ or ‘wow two at a time. that has to be stressful!’. while I was lost in my thoughts he turned around. I panicked and went with the first thing on my mind.

“who was that? your not cheating on mom are you? I don’t think she can handle another ruined family. she’d go into depression.” I almost said to fast that he had to process it. Stupid men are to slow for me to handle. his face is shock, surprise and fear all mixed into one expression, scary,

“ umm… that was a prank on you. I meant for you to hear that so ha-ha… you don’t buy it do you?” he stuttered out

“not at all. how can you do that. you guys have been married for two months and your horrible and I hope that you that you get caught, oh.. woops, did that already happen.” I spitted at him” I’m done here and if you hurt my mom I’m gonna… well you done want to know what I will do.” I stormed out of the study and went down stairs

In the kitchen chase is sitting at the table and is slurping his milk. he looks up at me with those green eyes and smiles. I laugh at his milk mustache. mom set a bowl of lucky charms on the table and pour the milk spilling it. mom can be suck a slob some things. instead of getting a napkin she slurps it of table.

“mom. table manners…wow never thought that I would have to say that to my own mother” I moaned. she just looks up with and smiles. her freckles bunch up at the nose when she smiles. she has milk in her light brown hair. now I know why dad fell in love with her.

my dad died when I was 7. a drunk driver crashed into our car and killed dad instantly. mom was depressed for years but then she met Greg. Greg doesn’t dissever her. after what he did to my mom he dissevers to drive off the surface of the earth. matter of fact I will go start the car. I started to walk to the front door when mom asked me something.

“were are you going honey?” mom questioned. she looked at me concerned. those green eyes mesmerize me for a second.

“ umm I’ll get back to you on that one.” I whispered. I eat my breakfast then get in the car for school. still I’m worried that mom will find out about Greg’s little secret, somehow. I put that off my mind and get my self mentally ready for the day.
