MINE.

•Chapter Two•

"Mom I really don't want to do this.." Today's the day. We move into my stepdads house and honestly I'm not ready. Yeah he's a good guy and all but I've been living in this house ever since I was born and I'm not ready to leave.

"I know Riley honey but it's time for a fresh start you know?" She smiles at me, hoping I agree.

After my dad left we became a lot closer considering all we had was each other. I guess maybe it is time for a new start.

"Yeah I guess you're right mom" I smile back hugging her and getting the rest of my stuff in the moving truck.

Jack pulls into the driveway with the biggest smile I have ever seen. "You ladies almost ready?" He asks, getting out of the silver Range Rover.

Honestly I'm really jealous of his car. I've always wanted a Range Rover but my mom could never afford it so yes I'm a 17 year old without a car. Ashley usually drives me around but I really really want my own car.

I put the last box into the moving truck and shut the door. "Finished" I say, pulling out my phone and texting Ashley.

Me: Ash I'm scared as hell rn we're about to leave help!!

I put my phone back in my pocket and sigh. I know it seems like I'm making a big deal out of this but trust me I'm really not.

"Let's go ladies!" Jack smiles, putting his arm around my moms shoulders leading her to the car.

About 30 minutes later we arrive at his beautiful home. Damn I'm actually excited now this place is huge! There's those fancy circular bushes stacked on top of each other by the front door and the grass looks so perfect I just want to lay down in it.

There's a double garage connected to the house and is covered in cream colored bricks, matching the house. The Windows on the house are so clean I swear if you touched them you would see your finger prints.

"I hope you guys like the house I made sure me and James cleaned up before you came" Jack smiles back at us, turning of the car.

Wait a second did he just say James!? Okay surely he's talking about another James. Ha. How ironic would that be right?

"You have a son?" I ask in confusion, they never brought this up to me..

"Oh yes, my son James, I thought I told your mother about him?" He says, more like a question looking over at my mom who has a pale face now.

"Um..Riles honey, I'm sorry I never mentioned him..I just thought maybe if I did you wouldn't wanna move here"

"Mom it's not a big deal really don't be sorry" I say, mentally wanting to kill myself. So I guess I have a stepbrother now too great.

"Okay well let's start unpacking!" My mom exclaims like its fun to unpack. Yeah I'd rather lay in bed and watch Netflix while you unpack.

"That's the last of them" I say with a huff slumping down onto the comfy ass couch, I really want to sleep right now.

"I thought James would be home by now but I guess he's out with his friends, we would've been done earlier if he was here" Jack explains, taking some boxes to their room I'm guessing.
