I wake up and slowly get off my bed. I walk over to my closet and grab my blue bunny slippers and I walk out my room. I walk in the living room to find my mom and aunt Carole sitting on the couch.

"Morning," I yawn and grab the Honey Bunches Of Oats from the top of the fridge.

"Morning, sweetheart," My mother smiles and sips her coffee, I suppose that's what it is.

"Your report card came in," My step-aunt, Carole says as she reaches over to the coffee table and grabbed a small blue piece of paper, and hands it to me. I give my cereal to my mom so she can hold it. I open the report card very slow and start to feel heated and my throat became dry. When I opened it my heart sank. Three C-'s, two D's, and one F.

"Care to explain," Carole says with an eyebrow raised. I have no idea why she lives here she's 48 she needs to get her own home. We aren't even really related!

"No," I quickly say as I try and grab my bowl of cereal from my mothers hold but she doesn't give it to me. "Give it."

"Who are you speaking to like that young lady," Carole says with a raised eyebrow. Girl, do you not know how to keep your drawn on eyebrows down?

"Not you," I scoff.

"See! See! Jamie, I'm trying to tell you, listen to me she's a disrespect, ungrateful, and a bad little-" Carole says, I just stand there eating my cereal I finally got from my mom.

"Stop, Caroline," My mother calmly says to Carole. "I see, she is all those that you named, yes. And her grades do need to improve."

"Yeah, and?" I disrespectfully say, as I take my bowl to the kitchen to put it in the sink.

"And that's what's gonna happen, young lady. Carole has this step-cousin his name's Michael Petrovic and you'll be staying there for now until you get your grades up and become more respectful. You'll leave tomorrow," My mother says.

                    "What?"

"You heard me. I'm serious, Lilian," She says and walks over to me with her hands on her hips. What is she talking about? I'm not staying with some random man.

"Yeah no," I say and continue to walk over to my room. "You don't even know him, mother. I swear I'll behave now, please."

"No, you've said that one too many times. You'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Where does he live?" I ask. "And why are you sending me somewhere with a stranger? A man at that, mother."

"I don't know where he lives. and because he's family-ish, I've never met him but Carole has, plenty of times that's her step-cousin so now he's your cousin." My mother says.

"Crazy!" I throw my hands in the air. "You've gone crazy! She's crazy. So crazy."

"I'm not crazy. Sweetie I only want what's best for-" she start but I cut her off.

"Whatever I'm 17, mother! You act like I'm still a child," I cry out. Before she can say something I put my hand in the air and swiftly turn away.

I walk into my bedroom and fall on the bed and think. I get up and walk to my closet and pull out two of my huge suitcases and I start to pack. I leave an outfit out for tomorrow, I pack mostly everything. I'm done now, so I'll just stay in my room all day. I brush my teeth and get in the shower

I turn on the TV and wait until it hits 8:00, then I fall fast asleep.

"Wake up, honey," My mother sweetly says knocking at my door.

"I'm up!" I'm snap. Remembering that happened yesterday. Today I leave with a man I do not know.

I get up and walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth. Then I walk back into my room to get changed. I put on my dark blue denim jeans with a white tank top and a red flannel wrapped around my waist with my boots. It's a plain outfit, I know but honestly, I do not care.

I jog down the stairs to eat breakfast, my mother has made which is weird because she never does. "Morning."

"Good morning," My mother smiles. I look over to my right to see Carole sitting there with a smirk on her face.

"You're flight will leave soon, Lilian, you ready?" My mother asks. I nod my head and I go upstairs to get my things. I hug and kiss my mother goodbye. I look over to Carole and roll my eyes. I leave the house and walk over to the cab and I get in.

About 30 minutes later I make it to the airport. It took so long to process everything. I finally am able get on the plane, first class seats. I walk over to my seat and got ready. The pilot was talking but I heard nothing, because I dozed off and went into my own world. But then I feel someone tap my shoulder. A man. Young, probably about 27. He has dark brown eyes and jet black hair and wasn't too tall but slim. He was alright looking.

"Hello, ma'am. The pilot said to buckle up." He spoke calmly and nice. His name tag read...

Jason

I looked at him then buckled up. Oh my lord, this has been the longest hours of my life. I don't even think I know where I'm going.

                             ♠

About 7 hours later the pilot started speaking again which made me wake up. He said we'll be landing now, so I buckled up again. Once we landed I got my luggage and look around. I start walking and looking around for anyone I probably knew. Then again, I have no idea where I am. I look to my left and see a man with a mask on and a sign with my name on it. Oh it could be any Lilian Parker.

But just to make sure I walk over there.

"You Lilian Parker?" he asked. Oh my God his voice was so deep and sounded foreign. It wasn't cute, it was creepy. He had on a mask and all black clothes.

I nod my head to his previous question. He opens the car door for me. But I'm not stupid, I'm not getting in. I shake my head 'no' and he turns to me.

"Get in, Ms. Lilian," He says. He sounded annoyed which made his voice much scarier.

"No. I don't know you and you look like a serial killer," I feel bad now, but who cares he's scary.

"Ma'am, Mr. Petrovic sent me to get you," He said still angry. I looked at him.

"Take of that mask," I said and he shook his head 'no'.

"Get in!" He snapped/hissed/growled. I took no chances to get killed so, I got in.

It took about 4 hours to finally get there, it's about 6:00/7:00 pm.
