Angels & Demons

Chapter 1

     My life is a chaos... a complete chaos. When I was 10 my parents separated, according to my mom... my dad fell in love with  his secretary and abandoned us. My relationship with my dad was perfect. I was his princess and he was my king... or so I thought, until he left. My mom didn't handle it so well. I think she blamed me for everything that happened. Our relationship wasn't the same... nothing was never the same. Since then my mom has brought home a different guy every month claiming that they were "in love".

Now there's another problem. The last guy that my mom got with hates every kid that's not his own... and guess what?! I'm NOT his daughter. So my mom decided to live with him and his son... the only thing she left was a letter that I found when I got home from school "Baby, I'm very sorry but sometimes you have to sacrifice things for love." If by 'things' my mom refers to her 17 year old daughter... her only daughter, that woman has some serious problems... mental problems. "PS:  I left some money on top of the T.V." OK she left $17,250, thanks mom but I don't think it's enough for the rest of my life.

Want to add another problem? Mh school principal didn't call my mom to notify my absences and they found out that I'm just a poor abandoned teenager and that they had to locate my dad. GREAT! I'm going to see his face after 7 years.

Lali: - walking out of school-
Nicolas: Mariana lets go look for your things.
Lali: Woah... calm down alright ? If you want me to apologize for coming down here, well I'm not. It's not my fault you had to leave your perfect family just to come and get me ... but look ! You're free.  I DON'T NEED YOU.  -walking away-
Nicolas: Mariana were going to get your thins and you're coming with me.
Lali: Keep dreaming. I'm not going anywhere with a stranger.
Nicolas: I'm your dad !
Lali: You remember. In not going anywhere with you. I'm going home alone.
Nicolas: I'm not leaving you alone.
Lali: - laughing- no ... please! Don't pretend to be the poor dad that loves his daughter and is going to protect her from anything. -exaggerating- LEAVE ME ALONE!
Nicolas: Get in the car! I'm not arguing with you!
Lali: Wow. We agree on something! I'M NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU! -leaving-
Nicolas: MARIANA! or you come with me or a judge is going to send to a shelter home with 20 other kids with issues. You know damn well what I'm talking about.

Did I know? Yes.. I knew...  but he didn't know... no one knew. The past comes back to me one way or another... I can't live with my dad but I can't be in a place where I know that what happened the other stupid day can occur to me again.  

Lali: -closing her bags- dont think that I want to move in with you or fix our relationship.

Nicolas: Mariana..

Lali: IM LALI! Lali! No Mariana!

Nicolas: Lali I know that...

Lali: NO.. you dont know.. I'll say this once.. I DONT want a dad or a father daughter chat.. its too late for that and now all I wanna do is rest.

Nicolas: -sighs- get in the car.. now tell me the truth, where's your mom?

Lali: She fell in love with a psychopath that doesnt like me... so she left with him like about 4 months ago and I dont know anything about her and i hope it stays like that. I'm better off without her.

Nicolas: I see.. at home you're not going to have any problems.

Lali: Im only staying the time that's necessary until I turn 18 so I could leave.

Nicolas: We have to register you at school.

Lali: What?

Nicolas: Its too far for you to travel back to the school you attend and plus the school that Gimena's kids attend is really good. We're here. Need help?

Lali: I got it. Who is Gimena?

Nicolas: Gime! Babe! We're here!

Lali -rolls eyes-

Gime: Mariana! You're so big! Honey, you didn't tell me your daughter was a young woman already!

Lali: Dont worry, when you havent seen your for more that 7 years you miss out on how much she has changed...
