The One I Waited For -TJ Bell Three Shot-

21st March 2011

"I couldn't care less what you want, you're going to meet up with Zach whether you like it or not miss." Kathy yelled before slamming my bedroom door shut, stupid fucking bitch always making me do stuff I didn't want too. I had planned to head to the park and finish writing the first draught of my novel I'd been working on for the past six months but it seemed my stupid stepmother and spineless farther had other ideas for me.

Since my farther had remarried I'd been under control by Kathy and her two annoying shits of children Adrian the youngest and Hayden the elder. If it wasn't being forced to meet douchebags in my snobby school it was baby-sitting the annoying sprogs I was forced to call my brothers- why didn't I decide to live with mom?

"You better be getting ready your mom-"

"She's not my mother and she never will be." I spat at my farther that was stood in my doorway. The disconcerting stare that my farther gave me made me feel like I was 10 years old and had been caught with my hand in the cookie jar but I stood by what I said- there was no way that Kathy would ever replace my mother, even if she did cheat on my farther she was still a thousand times better than Kathy could ever dream to be.

"Look sweetheart I know you may be nervous-"

"I'm not nervous dad, I just don't like the guy." I sighed; he threw me a sympathetic look and sat on the edge of my bed.

"I don't know why, you two are perfect for each other?"

"Perfect for each other? Or perfect for yours and Kathy's company?" I questioned eyebrow raised, he opened his mouth to reply but quickly shut it again and was silent for a few seconds.

"Look Raina just meet him today. He's already said how much he enjoyed spending time with you last week and how much he's looking forward to today so don't let him down." My farther sighed standing back up again. I rolled my eyes and stuck my earphones back in my ears- he got the message and left me alone.

I tried to begin the final chapter but I was too angry to think of anything good- I slammed my notebook shut and stuffed it in my backpack along with my pen and my water bottle and a hoodie just in case it got colder later. I could hear Kathy's shrill yells from the bottom of the stairs telling me to leave so I'd be at the park on time, I slung my backpack over my shoulder and took the stairs two at a time something that pissed Kathy off and I could see the rage bubbling inside of her as I hit the ground floor.

"Be back by 6- your farther and I are heading out for a business dinner and you need to babysit."

"Yeah, yeah." I muttered before pushing past her to the front door.

"I mean it Raina, be here or you're grounded."

"Okay!" I exclaimed before heading out slamming the door behind me. I walked slowly to the park, even though I could normally make this trip in two minutes I wanted the path to never end. To my dismay I found myself in front of the gates in 4 minutes flat I checked the time on my phone and saw I was a couple minutes early so I headed over to my usual bench under the huge elm tree in the far corner of the park and fetched my notebook out of my bag and made a second attempt to start the chapter. I occasionally glanced up from my paper to see if Zach was stood mindlessly looking for me but I never saw him, part of me filled with hope and happiness that he hadn't showed and the other half of me with anger at the fact that I was being made to meet up with him and he hadn't bothered to show.

After ten minutes I decided to go looking for him- the mindless douche had probably gotten lost and was running about in circles wondering where I was. I stood on top of the fountain, which was the central point in the park and glanced around for any sight of him. I sighed in disappointment when I saw him sat on a wall looking around for someone; I frowned and watched for a few more seconds as he caught sight of someone in my direction
