Musical Love *A Jerry Love Story*

Chapter 3: Lilly's life

Lilly's POV

As my dad was pulling me out of the dojo, I looked back at the gang. I'll probably never see them again after my father's dramatic scene but I mostly looked at Jerry. I know it might sound weird but I feel like there was something there when I first saw him. 

  I mean I can't like him right? It's only been one day and I've only talked to him for 5 minutes at the most...but I have to admit, they were the best 5 minutes ever. 

" I can't believe that they would be there," my dad said in a harsh voice while getting into the car.

 "Well maybe they wanted to be their father" 

 I only call him "father" whenever I'm mad or annoyed with him. Which I am for changing my karate hour. I mean I could have made awesome new friends. 

"Lilly you have to understand that you will be the next owner of the mall when I no longer can do it. You will learn to hate them as well," he said in a kinder voice.

"I seriously doubt it,"I say as I look out the window.

You see the mall is divided into 6 families. Each family is in charge of different aspects of the mall like water, entertainment, and events. Everyone got along so well in the beginning when the mall was still new but after it started growing and more people were coming to shop, all of the families had different ideas and started going after each other. They ended up hating each other and now the next in line for the company have to hate them as well.

But I don't see it that way... I think we all have an important role and have to listen to each other to get things done. Sadly my father and everyone else doesn't think that way. 

The whole car ride was turned into awkward silence; I hated it since my dad and I were pretty close but when it comes to making friends, it's always hard for me so it really bothered me that he ruined my one shot at it.  

When we got home, the driver pulled up into the center of our house and Rachel, my stepmother, was in the front of the house ready to welcome my dad. 

"Oh Adam I missed you so much" 

"I missed you as well Rachel" 

I was disgusted by how fake Rachel can be. She welcomed him by kissing him right on the lips. When my dad walked into our mansion Rachel looked at me with ice in her stare, as if she wanted to hang me by the leg.

"Liliana, you want Brad to see you like that? Go upstairs and change into something more ladylike. He'll be here to pick you up in a few minutes. We have to make sure that the agreement with your father goes well so try to not ruin this for us okay?" 

I rolled my eyes as I walked in and started to head to my room. I say hey to the staff I see while heading over there. Rachel is nice to other people except me. Since I'm not her real daughter she doesn't really care. 

If you wondering who the hell Brad is, well let's say he is supposed to be my boyfriend. The agreement that my father is trying to get is to expand the food court so there can be more opinions. He just needs to get the approval of Mr. White, which happens to be Brad's dad. We've never met but I guess that's why we're having a date.

 When I open the door to my room, I get greeted with musical instruments and posters of my favorite singers. Since my dad doesn't like me playing music, I keep my room lock up throughout the day and also had it soundproof so he wouldn't be able to hear me play. The only people who know about my music and have the key to my room are Jessie and Brandon. They were the only two who took care of me after my mother passed away.

I was about to do my homework when some lyrics came to me about my stepmom. I go to my piano and start writing down the lyrics and mess around with the melody,

The curl of her lips

The ice in her stare

All innocent children had better beware

She's like a spider waiting for the kill

After 10 minutes I heard a knock on my door and its opening soon after. 

"Yes, Jess?" 

"Lilly, Brad will be here in 20 minutes, Mrs. Rachel was wondering if you were already ready?" 

"Can you tell her I'll be downstairs in 15?" I smiled at her since I saw her as a sister more than my staff.

She smiled and nodded as she closes the door and walks away. 

I got up and walked into my shower and tried to do my hair and makeup since I already showered earlier it should be easy. I grabbed my wand and started to curl my hair and I did a natural look for my makeup since I didn't want to put a lot of makeup on. I put on black skinny jeans, a white shirt, and my black leather jacket. I also put on my black heels with a little bow on the side. 

When I finished, I saw that it was 6:45. Dang, it! I'm going to be soo much trouble by Rachel. As I grabbed my wallet, phone, and purse, I heard the bell ring. 

I walked down the stairs and I saw Rachel and my dad talking to a boy with brown hair up in a quiff, a blue plaid collared shirt with a black shirt underneath and black pants. My dad came over to me with Rachel and he took my hand smiling proud me as if I was his most expensive treasure.

 "Lilly this is Brad, Brad this is Lilliana but she likes being called Lilly"  

"Hello nice to meet you, Lilly"

" Nice to meet you as well Brad," I said smiling as I shook his hand.

"Ready to go?" 

"Ya, let's go," I said smiling as I followed him to his car. Maybe this won't be so bad after all
