Better Than Revenge

Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home.

"That all?" Catherine asked me coming and sitting on the edge of my bed which was piled high with suitcases.
"Yep, I'm all packed" I explained. Catherine gave me a small smile and hugged me.
"I'm going to miss you hun" she explained. I sighed and nodded my head in agreement.
"I'm going to miss you as well, but it's time to go home" I explained, a light tear resting in my eye. Catherine pulled me into a hug and I rested my head on her shoulder,
"You sure your ready to face everyone?" she asked gently. I nodded my head, not being able to form words. The truth was I was terrified about the idea of facing everyone who made my past a living hell, although I was determined, I was going to show them all. "Go to bed sweetie. It's going to be a long flight" Catherine explained, gently kissing my temple.
"Thank You for everything Catherine. I really appreciate it" I told her pulling away from our hug.
"I know you do. Your welcome back anytime" she told me before standing and walking out of the room and leaving me to a sleepless night.

I groaned when I heard the alarm clock going off, meaning it was time to get up. I raised slowly out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. I refreshed myself by taking an extra long shower, I then stepped out and applied a light layer of makeup and did my hair before before dressing into the outfit I choose the night before. I nodded my head in approval when I was fully dressed and stepped into the room which was now luggage free. I slowly ate my breakfast apple while Catherine sat opposite me eating her toast. We chatted casually, avoiding the topic of me leaving, which would become a reality in a couple of hours when I was sitting on the plane and flying back to Colorado. I finished my apple and pulled Catherine towards the car, not wanting to be late for the flight.

I watched as the buildings rolled by and I knew I was going to miss this place, although I couldn't wait to come home and see my mummy and daddy again. I smiled at the thought of my parents, although my smile faulted slightly when I realised I would be going home to everyone who though I was still the quiet innocent girl who was to scared to stand up for herself. I brushed the though to the side and focused on the drive ahead.

We arrived at the airport and we shuffled out of the car. I glanced at Catherine although she refused to make eye contact. I collected my bags and walked into the airport with Catherine by my side, no words being exchanged. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I realised I would be flying back to the place where everyone hated me. Where I was consistently picked on and where I had my heard broken numerous times. I pushed the thought away when I started feeling light head and continued walking into the airport.

Catherine and I passed through all the airport obstacles and were sitting in the cafe sipping out coffee's. I laughed when Catherine cracked a joke and we continued chatting in a casual manner until I heard the robotic voice announce
"Flight leaving from California to Colorado departing now". I glanced at Catherine and flung my arms around her shoulder, I hugged her tightly and rested my head on her shoulder
"Hun. I'm going to miss you" Catherine's voice sounded.
"I'm going to miss you as well" I cried, allowing the light tears to fall from my eyes. She pulled away and gave me a sweet smile and said
"You have changed so much. Your beautiful Ella. Show Them." I couldn't help but smile at her comment. "If anything every happens, your always welcome back" she promises holding me close.
"Thank You" I stated before hugging her once more and pulling away and grabbing my hand luggage.
"Tell your mum and dad I say hi" Catherine explained tapping my nose. I scrunched it up before laughing and saying
"Promise. Bye Catherine" I smiled to her before making my way over to the line of people waiting to get onto the plane.

I handed the lady my ticket and she allowed my access to the plane. I made my way carefully onto the jet and took a seat, my mind drifting towards Catherine. Catherine is my GodMother who I have been living with for the past 2 years. I was born in Colorado and I absolutely love the place, although I had a really hard time fitting in there as I wasn't your typical teenager. I would never dress up and I didn't care what people thought of me, causing the girls to hate me. I got along alright with the boys for a while, until they started dating and basically left sports for girls. I was alone, I was the girl people would pass in the hall way and laughter at because I was an outcast. After sometime I got sick of being the loner. After a lot of convincing, my parents sent me to California to live with Catherine and have a new start. While I was in California puberty was extremely kind and left me with mind blowing curves and a tiny waist, perfect blonde hair while fell to mid back and Catherine taught me all about fashion. I spent my last year there as the Queen Bee which every guy wanted to get with, and for once I wasn't a loner. After a phone call with my parents I realised how much I missed them, so I decided to come home. I felt the plane start moving, bringing my thoughts to a stop. I watched the window as California became smaller and smaller until eventually it disappeared.
