That Bad Boy

Good Will Hunting

Chapter One

Good Will Hunting

Sienna's POV -

When you live in this state - this kind of hollow and claustrophobic feel, it's kind of hard to have those moments. You know, those ones with pure and utter bliss. The happiness and euphoric feeling combined with such a massive amount of weight on your shoulders? It's difficult.

I was coping, though.

It's what I had been doing for such a long time now. I was once the happy go lucky girl, just living in pure obliviousness and God; I wished I could go back. But, at the same time, it's been a rude awakening for me. It showed me that the World was not full of princesses who nabbed their charming, or that things were handed to you in a silver platter. There really were dark people out there.

People who don't feel.

And my goodness, when my pretty in pink nature was clouded by this dark shadow, I was at a loss for words. I was confused. Why? Why me? I had been a good girl my entire life. I was like a sister to my mum and I was close to my brother, too.

I was doing well in school, I volunteered around our community and...

Well, you get it. Why me?

But I realised that these things happen for a reason. Whether they make you stronger, or they're testing our abilities to be capable at picking ourselves back up... it happens for a reason.

And even though this idea had finally been pressed into my head, it didn't mean that I wasn't scarred. That I wasn't hurting every single day.

This kind of hollow and claustrophobic state I was put in was combined with happiness. So what did that make me?

Strange, of course.

"I knew you always hated me," My mother grumbled, putting down my last bag in the boot of my car.

My mother... well, she was not really like my mother. She had me at sixteen, giving up everything to raise me. We were like sisters, always so, so close. She had my brother, Alex, one year later and so we were all pretty close.

"Mum, come on, I won't be that far from you." I replied with a little guilt seeping in me.

"It's an hour and a half away! I'm too busy to come and visit you." She responded, shutting my boot.

"That's your fault." I laughed. "I'll call you, text you and I can come home every second weekend."

"Every second weekend!" She cried in outrage.

She wasn't really angry. She was just really immature.

"Fine, every weekend." I shrugged.

She stopped her mock wailing and frowned.

"No, ew, I'll get sick of you. I'm sending you off to college for a reason. I just didn't expect you to go so far away."

"Then you should be glad I chose Yale rather than Harvard. Would you rather be an hour away from me or four?" I questioned, raising my brows as I picked up my coffee off the roof of my car.

"Same thing. You could be in Antarctica and you'll still be away from me. And it's not an hour, it's an hour and a half." She replied, snatching my coffee and taking a sip herself.

I shrugged and shot her a rueful smile.

"Maybe now that I'm gone you can focus a little more of your attention on dad." I grinned.

"What are we going to do about our movie nights?" She asked, avoiding my comment. "We were so proud of how much we resembled Lorelei and Rory and now you're stripping this away from us! We won't be the cool mother and daughter anymore." She pouted.

"I'll always come down, mum. And you can visit me too. I'll be here during holidays and weekends. It'll be like I never left. And we can still organise movie night."

She shook her head feverishly, resembling a child on the verge of a tantrum.

"No! I want to be able to come home from work and find you on the couch with a stack of Leonardo DiCaprio movies waiting for me." She whined. "Is that too much to ask for?"

"You've never come home and found me on the couch!"

"Except for that one time with Jacob." She smirked wickedly.

Right... my boyfriend, Jacob, had been sort of at my house when we were caught in a compromising position on the couch. In all fairness, we weren't actually doing anything. It was just a whole misunderstanding. And my mum, the child she was, kept telling me that we were doing a lot more than what we were.

"Nothing even happened." I mumbled, my face heating up.

"I'm sure when you heard me in the driveway you were both in a mad dash to put your clothes back on." She grinned broadly.

"Mum! You know Jacob and I haven't even gotten to that stage."

I never wanted to go to that stage.

"Sure." She replied in a cough.

I rolled my eyes and went back to what we were speaking about before.

"Anyway. Dad. Don't avoid what I said. With me gone, you'll finally get to see him more." I sang.

Her expression went blank and she turned her face away from me so I couldn't see the small fraction of a smile.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh come on, you know I overheard you guys last time he was here. He said he wanted to move here. Here! Out of all places, dad wants to move to Stanwell Vale. And he wants to be a part of your business. He so wants to be with you." I laughed.

"Well duh, he's always wanted to be with me. How do you think I got you?" She hid her smile and returned to face me again.

"And Alex. You told him you didn't want to marry him when you fell pregnant with me but then you slept with him again and had Alex!"

"He wanted to marry me because he thought I couldn't raise you on my own. And well, I'm a woman, I have my moments of weakness sometimes and that just got me pregnant again. And hey, I'm your mother, I don't need to justify myself to you."

I smiled cheekily and watched her bemusedly as she had an internal battle.

"Sounds like you just did justify yourself." I laughed. "And plus, you're just nervous that you really will end up with him just like you always are when he comes to visit."

She rolled her eyes and muttered a few unintelligent words to me.

"Now I'm happy you're leaving. Maybe you'll stop with that delusional mind of yours that me and your father will marry."

"I never mentioned marriage. Who's the one with the delusional mind now?" I smirked.

"Shut up, smartass." She grumbled.

We laughed and it died down softly, a silent knowing feeling creeping up between the two of us. This was it. I was leaving off to college now. I was so used to having my mother there with me all the time, I couldn't imagine leaving her. But, going to an Ivy League was always so important to the both of us, especially after my mum couldn't continue her education after falling pregnant with me.

She looked at me solemnly and I could tell she was fighting to keep from allowing traitorous tears from spilling. My mother hated crying and I probably inherited that from her, too.

"You'll take care, right?" Her voice was hoarse and there was a silent hidden meaning with what she said.

The closeness of our relationship allowed me to tell her as soon as it happened. She was always there for me so I kind of felt like I had to tell her or it would eat me up inside.

"Right." I nodded. "I'll be with Ally and Chelsea the entire time."

"And you'll call me?"

"Every single day." I promised with a firm head nod.

"And you won't turn into one of those girls that meets a rich guy and drops out of college and runs into the sunset with him?"

"Maybe. I have Jacob to stop me though."

"You tell that boyfriend of yours that if anything happens to you I blame him."

I nodded and rolled my eyes.

"Will do."

"And you'll call?"

"Mum, you already asked that." I laughed.

"And you won't drop out and become a janitor working there instead?" She asked with raised brows.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"Nope. Not unless I'm a genius like Matt Damon in Goodwill Hunting. He's a freaking legend and a janitor; my future wouldn't be too bad if I'm like him."

She looked at me in confusion - no doubt trying to remember exactly what Goodwill Hunting was about. She was a movie addict like me, just with a bad memory. She began to laugh and I knew that she remembered the movie.

"And if you drop out, I can be your Robbie Williams to your Matt Damon." She grinned.

I nodded feverously and began some tangent of nonsense about the movie. I couldn't help it. After a while, my mum's amused expression turned solemn.

She didn't smile, watching me for any moments of weakness. She continuously thought that it was her that was driving me away from this small town and wanting to be away from her. She clearly didn't understand how much I relied on her. She blamed herself for what happened to me and couldn't bear the thought of me moving away. I felt guilty for leaving and she felt guilty for making me guilty. It was a weird ball game.

"I love you, Sienna. You know that, right?"

This was weird. We didn't talk to each other like this.

"Mum, you know me. I'm not exactly cheering about being away from you either."

"Enna, if you don't call me and come down here, I will personally walk to Yale and kick your ass." She threatened.

I grinned; glad she was back to her regular self.

"Deal." I laughed, taking a step towards her and wrapping my arms around her in a tight embrace.

She hugged me back tightly, mumbling threats to me about how she'll kill me if I don't call her every day. I complied with everything she asked for and we finally stepped away.

"You have to leave now before I unpack your bags." She wiped away a quick tear from the corner of her eye and pushed me to the car.

"Where's Alex?" I frowned, looking past my mother to see where my troublesome brother was.

"Right here, shorty." His deep voice boomed from beside me.

I jumped in fright and he laughed at me, knowing that this was the last time he could probably scare me.

"I'm not short." I grumbled as my brother hugged me tightly.

"Sienna, you're tiny. People are going to trample over you in college." He laughed.

It was true, I was pretty short. I stood a mere 5'1 while my mother was 5'6 and my brother was 5'8. I don't know what happened to me since my father was pretty tall too. Guess I never ate my vegetables or something.

"Don't scare your sister." My mum warned.

We both rolled our eyes and ignored my mum, knowing that this was the normal routine between us.

"They won't trample over me. My personality will make me stand out." I grinned gleefully.

"People will probably take you as a bitch than anything else," He shrugged.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Alex."

He smiled ruefully and hugged me again.

"You're welcome. And by the way, I'm stealing all of your work and plagiarizing."

Probably saw that coming.

"Go for gold." I sang.

"Thanks, Enna." He grinned, giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll miss you helping me with school stuff."

"She can still help you when she calls me and comes down every weekend." My mum piped in, looking towards me to confirm our deal.

I laughed and nodded, knowing that I probably wouldn't make it every weekend.

"Right." I nodded.

"Enna." She said in that rare motherly tone.

I laughed at her stern tone and nodded.

"Don't worry, mum. We'll have everything sorted out." I told her, not wanting to exactly lie.

She frowned and her flawless skin remained the same as she worried. My mother... well she was absolutely gorgeous. She was lightly tanned, like me and my brother and we all shared the same brown hair and eyes features. While her hair was a little passed her shoulders, mine fell in curls down my back.

My mum opened her mouth to say something but I have her a quick hug before jumping into the car and turning it on. Our goodbye really couldn't last that long. Because at any given moment, I'd end up unpacking and staying right with my mother. I just had to take this step.

Alex stood by my mum's side and as I started to drive off I could see her begin to break down. Her legs were trembling and her shoulders started shaking uncontrollably as she watched me with a sad smile. She always told me I was her greatest gift and that she couldn't bear the thought of this day occurring.

I waved my hand outside the window and bit on my lip hard to try and stop myself from crying. I had played and replayed this scene in my head over and over again and I always told myself that this new college experience was going to be an adventure. I had to break away from my mum sooner or later. I just always delayed the former, never wanting to picture me walking away from her.

I glanced back at the picture perfect picket fenced house and my mum crying while Alex calmed her. I rounded the corner and glanced back once more and smiled at my mum who returned the gesture.

I started to feel my leg shake uncontrollably and tensed it, adamant on not giving in to the stupid tears.

This was going to be a long drive.

***

I wish I could say that I sped out of the driveway with my windows down, my hair blowing in the wind, music pumping as I made my way to one of the best University's in the World. However within the first five minutes, I had been stopped multiple times.

You see, Stanwell Vale, was a very, very small town. It was one of the reasons my mother and I compared ourselves to Lorelei and Rory from Gilmore Girls. Our lifestyle resembled theirs so much that they could have based that show on our lives.

Anyway, in Stanwell Vale, a tiny town meant everyone knew everyone. And, I was kind of like a star in here. Everyone knew me, knew what I was up to and my daily basis routine. It was a weird town, filled with stupid town meetings and events. However, I loved it. I grew up here and everyone watched both me, Alex and my mother grow up.

So before I could even cross into another town, I was told to stop my car for everyone to farewell me.

"We're going to miss you so much." Charlotte, a short fifty something year old café owner muttered, squeezing my cheeks tightly.

I hugged her and pulled away quickly.

"There won't really be anything to miss, Char. I'll be back before you even have a chance to miss me." I replied, trying to politely walk back to my car.

"What am I going to do without you helping me with baking? The whole town is going to miss your incessant need to bake. My café is going to struggle without you." She mused. "So you'll be back tonight?" She grinned, her attention back to the main point.

"Uh..."

"Oh shucks! Charlotte, leave the damn girl alone and serve your customers. We'll see her on the weekend. Right, Sienna?" The music teacher asked.

"Um..."

"No, she'll be back tomorrow. Surely she can't stay away from Talia for that long. Right, Sienna?" This time, it was the car wash guy.

"Err..."

"Oh your poor mother! What will Talia do without you? I suppose she has Alex to keep her company but without you, she'll be devastated. Maybe James can change that, right Sienna?"

Before I could make one of my stupid incoherent responses, someone had draped their arm around my shoulder and I turned to my side to see my life long best friend standing beside me.

Allyson Ross was more or less of my twin. We both looked alike greatly and our mothers were best friends. She was tanned, had long brown wavy hair and the same facial features as me. We even had the same height, Ally standing an inch taller than me.

"Guys, leave the poor girl alone. She's trying to go to college. She'll see all of you soon." Ally said loudly, looking pointedly at all the bystanders who wanted to say goodbye to me.

Some were even taking photos of me.

Right, I definitely felt like a star.

"Thanks, Ally." I smiled, walking back to my car.

"No problem. I figured these guys would hold you up when you never showed up at my house fifteen minutes ago. Chelsea thought I should check on you when you never came."

By some miracle, in a small town like this, three of us had gotten noticed by Yale and were all accepted. I was meeting at Ally's house so they could follow me to Yale since I was the one with the GPS.

"Well thank God you came or I don't think they would have let me go. They were all throwing questions at me like I was a star."

"Well, you kind of are. Talia came fresh out of hospital with you and you know these idiots here. They all obsess over new people. And someone like your mum at her age? It was a pretty big deal."

For Ally it was completely different. Her great, great whoever had been one of the founders of Stanwell Vale. I'm pretty sure his name had been Stan. Or Vale...

"I guess so." I mumbled. "But it's still annoying. Cute and funny. But annoying."

Despite the randomness and weirdness of this town, I loved everyone. I grew up knowing these people and I hadn't really been anywhere.

"Well at least you'll be a nobody at Yale." Ally smiled, shutting my driver's door as I hopped in and started the car.

"You're right. Guess I can start out fresh." I agreed with a grin.

She nodded and went to her car behind me and started it up.

Time for a redo. Now I was going off to college.
