Wasted Knowledge - A Harry Styles Fan Fiction

Chapter 2

The car pulled up into my mums drive way. I was dreading this conversation that was about to come up. She would be asking me to buy her things, send her postcards all that shit. But she would only say that in front of Paul (Paul is her new boyfriend) to make herself look like a good mother to her only daughter, which was stupid because she was a joke. She didn’t care. I spent half of my teenager years growing up by myself. I had no mother figure. I hope that I can be a good example to my children when I have them. Which will be in the future.

“JASMINE!!!!! I can not believe you are going to be leaving me.” My 8-year-old brother said these words while skipping up the driving way to greet me. He put a smile on my face because he was so little and his mum had ripped our family apart and he was still happy. “Now you have to promise me Edward to look after Dad while I’m gone. You make sure he washes his clothes and takes the trash out when you stay with him” Edwards face lit up and the gap between his front teeth made him look so little and small. He couldn’t speak properly because of the gap. It was real sweet. “Jasmine I hope you have packed everything” Oh great here comes the bitch. “Yes mum I have like you care?” “Listen I’m trying to be more connected with you Jasmine but I can’t when you push me away” My mother said with a small pout. “Seriously mum do you think I’m going to buy that bullshit? Look I came here for one reason, and that was because unlike you I like to see my dad smiling and being happy. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t of came here to say bye to you at all” My blood pressure was rising and it was already hot in this stupid house. I need to leave this house before I lose it… big time and then I will have to sit on a plane for 24 hours or so feeling annoyed because of my stupid mum. “Well Jasmine I cant offer you anything more… I’m trying to change. Make sure you stay safe and have enough money and things to keep you going. I probably wont see you till next Christmas.” Thank god for that. I gave her a fake smile and travelled back down the hallway to Edward’s room. I pushed past and saw him sitting there with a very dull look on his face. “Please don’t leave me and daddy.. we.. we love you way too much” His face made me want to cry. I actually loved my little brother. I’d do anything for him. “It’s okay Edward I’ll be back soon and we can Skype everyday and you can tell me how dad is keeping up without me” His eyes were still sad but I’m sure he would be okay. He was going to be staying with my dad for 3 months while I was gone. “Okay Jas, we better get you to the airport because you have to check your bags in and go through customs.” “Okay dad I’m coming. Listen Edward I love you” I hugged him one last time and that was it for a whole year. I picked my legs up and quickly walked back down the hall way. I waved bye to mum and Paul. Dad and I left the building. “Thank goodness for that dad. Seriously she fucks me off.” “Sweetie I know but she’s your mother.” The rest of the ride to the airport was fun. We sang to ever song on that came on the radio. I was going to miss my dad. But he knows how much this means to me. It’s a dream come true! I’m so lucky to be going to university in London.

We pull up into the parking lot of the airport and I can see some balloons in the distance. I jump out of the car because I really wanted to see what was going on. I can see my friends Jamie, Summer and Paige with big smiles on their faces. I couldn’t believe they were sending me off. This was the sweetest thing they have ever done for me. I got closer and jumped on them. “Aw you girls. You are amazing seriously. This is so lovely. But I’m going to cry even more now that you wont be coming with me.” I could see a smirk on Paige’s face.. “Well Jasmine… I can afford to come over with you and I managed to get a job in a top museum and well…. I’M COMING WITH YOU”  She was shaking with excitement. “um what? Your coming with me? No your not” I look at my dad. He gave me a smirk. “Oh my gosh you knew Paige was coming?” He nodded. This is amazing. Least I now won’t have to sit on a 24 hour flight by myself reading books and listening to Cold Play. I’m going to be flying with Paige. And living with Paige. This is a dream come true. We started to head inside the airport and get everything sorted before we were called to board the plane.
