Grecian Lovin'

Chapter 1: The Will

This is like the third time I am putting this book up here. I had it on my account @SkyLMIller. I l am the same person, and I am not stealing the story. I keep deleting and re-uploading it because I stop updating, and I lose all of my fans, so here I am uploading for the third and final time. Hopefully, I finish it this time, and y'all enjoy it.

Chapter 1: The Will

Dad and I were sitting in the two chairs in front of Jim Luis's desk. He was going to read Mom's will today, and I didn't want to be here. I don't care what she left us. I would trade millions of dollars to bring her back, and I'm sure Dad would too. Dad was all that I had left.

He was handsome for his age with salt and pepper hair and bright blue eyes. I didn't resemble him at all. All of my looks came from my mother. Well, not really. The only thing the two of us shared was our green eyes. Other than that, we didn't look related. Most people were surprised when Mom and Dad took me to Open House when I was younger. They didn't know I was their parents.

The attorney was one of my mother's best friends. I used to think that they were having an affair, but then I realized that my mother would never do anything like that even though Mr. Luis was handsome for his age. Actually, it surprised me that she could just be friends with someone with that handsome for so long. He has brown hair and icy blue eyes.

"To my husband," the attorney said, "I leave nothing, but my love." I glanced at my dad. I know that he and Mom were having problems, but they put them aide when she became sick, well, at least I thought they did. He didn't cry when we were told that she was dead, and he didn't cry at the funeral. I don't think he cried at all. "And to my only daughter, I leave her the house, a ticket to Athens, Greece, $5,000, and of course my love."

I stared at him in astonishment. There was no way that my mother that much money and a plane ticket to Greece. We barely had enough money to pay the bills for our house, so how did she manage to save up that much money and pay for the ticket? I wanted to protest, to tell him that their way no way that we could afford those tickets, but Dad beat me to it.

"How did Ally afford the ticket?" he demanded, his tone emotionless. I knew that he was angry because I saw him clenching his fist and I saw the blood rushing to his face. Blood rushes to my face and I clench my fist when I'm angry too.

The attorney shrugged. "I don't know, Mr. Valentine," he replied. "Allison invited me to the hospital a month before she passed on." He paused when I flinched. Mom was still a gentle topic because she died a week ago and she was buried yesterday afternoon. I haven't cried in an hour which is a record. "She told me that she wanted to buy a ticket to Athens, Greece for Chloe with the money she had in her savings account, and anything she had left to give it to Chloe too."

I smiled. Mom went to Greece when she was young, and she told me stories about the Greek Gods and Goddesses, the beautiful architecture, the clothes, and the Caribbean blue ocean. She said that you can see the sand at the bottom of the ocean, something that you can't do in the United States because the water is dark and murky. She promised that one day we would go together, but we can't. I was surprised that she still wants me to go without her.

"And she left me nothing?" he demanded.

"She left you her love," Mr. Luis replied smartly. He looked amused, and that just seemed to piss Dad off more. Dad got out of his chair, and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. I stared at the door for a moment before looking back at the attorney.

"I can't accept that ticket, Mr. Luis," I said, speaking for the first time. I needed to keep working and I couldn't leave my dad alone yet. It was too soon. "I'm too busy this summer."
