The van we're in pulls up to the driveway. I step out onto the pavement. This is home.
----------------------------------------------
•Two days earlier•
"Hun, I have something to say" Mom says, tip toeing into my room and then sitting on my bed.
"What?"
"I don't think I can take care of you any more. Not on this income."
"What are you trying to say"
The last words come out in a squeak.
"I think it's best if you live with another family for a while."
----------------------------------------------
The house is big. Not in like the crappy apartment we had in downtown LA.
A short woman comes up to hug me.
"Hello, Liv right, or Olivia? Come in, come in"
Jess, the social worker steps back outside, cautiously.
"As much as I'd love to stay, I better get going."
Then she turns to me.
"If it's horrible, you know who to call, but they seem nice so I'm sure you'll be fine." She whispers, fixing her bun.
I give her thumbs up and she drives away.
"Cam," I hear a yell inside the house.
"Come downstairs"
She sees that I'm watching and almost jumps in surprise.
"Sorry, he can be a handful. My name is Emma, but you can call me Em or if you want, Mom."
Before I say anything, a boy, a year or two older than me, comes downstairs.
"This is Cameron, or Cam"
"Hey" he says, barely looking up.
"Hi, I'm Liv"
"Cam, can you show her around a bit?"
"Sure."
We walk upstairs in silence.
He has black, shiny hair, with diamond in his left ear. He is wearing a white tee with jeans and Nike shoes.
I realise I'm staring at him so I look away.
After what seems like hours he announces "This, is the kitchen"
"Wow" I say which comes out sounding a little too sarcastic.
"Look let's just skip the tour and I'll show you your bedroom"
"Uh, sure"
We walk up another flight of stairs and walk into gorgeous room. It has a walk in closet, ensuite bathroom and a window that looks over LA.
"Wow, this is-"
"Fantastic right?"
"Yeah"
"it's one of the best rooms"
"I can see why."

Phew, first chapter done. It's a bit of mess now but it's still a work in progress. Although I have planned most of the book, I would love to hear suggestions for plot twist or new characters. Honestly, it would mean the world.
Incase you were wondering. No, there is no romance between Cam and Liv. Although their ship names would be cute. Calivia?Maybe not.
By the way, do see the picture off the house I inserted. That is #goals.
love ya'll🌺,
