— "I'm stuck in a world full of people who think it's okay to make fun of others who aren't as talented, smart or beautiful. What they don't understand is that everyone faces things differently, what really should matter is world peace, love and appreciation."

M a n d y
The plane ride was pretty good, most of the time I was looking out the window and taking pictures or taking a nap. I actually hadn't slept so well since I knew I was moving to California.

Currently I was walking down the gate towards the airport where I'd meet someone to take me to my new house. I felt so uncomfortable, I knew I my anxiety was coming back and I wouldn't be okay. I hurriedly grabbed my pills from my backpack and swallowed two.

I grabbed my water bottle and took a drink from it. "Uhm, are you Mandy?" I deep voice said from behind me. I quickly spun around to meet eyes with a guy, who was maybe a year older than me. I nodded me head as he gave me a small smile.

"I'm Jacob. Your older brother," he said and than continued. "Mom is at work so she asked me to pick you up." He said before he saw that I started breathing heavily.

"Hey, you'll be okay. I promise, I'll keep you safe from everything. Whenever you need me I'll be there for you Mandy..." He said and wrapped his arms around me letting me calm down before we had to go.

I gave him a fake smile and took a deep breath and understanding that this will be my life now. With Jacob and...our mom. Wow, it felt really weird since I hadn't called anyone mom since I was three. We headed out towards the car that I'd have to ride in from now on. Jacob helped me put my luggage in the back of his car, we both got in the car and buckled up.

Most of the car ride I looked out the window, there was a few questions and cute smiles from Jacob. When we finally reached the house I saw that it was absolutely beautiful. "C'mon, the inside looks better than the outside." He said as I giggled because he had saw me gawking at the house.

We grabbed my luggage and headed towards the house. The pathway towards the house had its little garden on the sides of the path. "Mom made sure that the house looked just right for when you got here," he said we entered. "Literally. She made sure everything was perfect." He said while extending perfect.

"Well it's really, beautiful." I said and grabbed a picture that had my dad, and mom on there. I sighed and put the picture down, I looked over at Jacob who was also staring at the picture.

"I miss him...sometimes I wish mom and dad never got a divorce so I actually had a dad to look up and someone who would've taught me how to play football or something."

Jacob said while looking at me, "and you look exactly like him. That's why I felt so comfortable with you...its just that you remind me so much of dad." He said as he hugged me once more.

"Before I left...I saw him cry. I don't know if it was because he'd be all alone while his family is here. But than I thought maybe that wasn't the reason because he wouldn't just send me off like this..." I said as tears started to fall down my face for once.

"Shhh, it's okay. I promise you that later on you'll understand why he had to do what he did." Jacob said as if he knew something. But now wasn't the time to say anything so I stayed quiet. "He loves you, he loves mom and I too. He loves all of us so much, just remember that okay?" He said pulled away from the comforting hug.

I nodded my head and wiped my tears away. "C-can you show me to my room?" I stuttered. Jacob smiled and nodded his head, he grabbed my luggage and lead me to a closed door which was painted white. He put my luggage down and opened the door for me to see the interior.

The walls had been painted white on one side and black on the other, there was also a glass door which lead to a balcony. The second I walked in I saw the white sheets on my head and a huge teddy bear, there was a brown bean bag chair in my new room, and a chandelier. There was also a vanity which was white, when I walked into the bathroom it stunned me.

The walls were black and there was a chandelier on the ceiling. The bathroom was probably half the size of the house I lived in with my dad. There was an adorable bathtub that you see in a hotel where you just sit in. I turned around to see Jacob smiling at me, I ran up to him and hugged him so tightly.

"Thank you. Thank you so much!" I said as I actually let out an almost happy smile. A truly happy smile almost crawled upon my peachy lips, this place made me feel like I for once wasn't alone. And I liked that, I liked that very much.

"You don't have to thank me, I mean. It's the least Mom and I could do to welcome you here. Actually when mom gets home were going out for dinner so dress nice, we're going out with another family. Don't worry, you don't have to act rich and spoiled. Just be you and be happy. Oh and mom is glad to have you here, and so am I."

Jacob said as I smiled once again. And within that moment I knew I truly wouldn't mind staying here if this was what went on in California. I have a mother who loves me, an amazing and sweet brother who will take care of me. But the only thing that was missing was...dad.
