Hope through Ms. Angela

Chapter 3: Family

Once school ended me and Cole headed out to the parking lot.

"Thanks for being there for me." I said to him with happy tears forming in my eyes.

"Hey, don't cry. I will always be there for you, pincess." He said while whipping away the one tear on my face.

"I love you so much!" I wishper.

"I love you even more." He wishpered back. He then kissed me on the check.

"You missed." I said with a giggle.

"Oh, sorry princess." He said while laughing. Then he kissed me.

"You didn't miss." I said jokingly. He just laughed.

"Well I better get going." I sadly say.

"If you have to." He said with a frown. I kissed him and he smiled.

"That better Romero." I yell as I walk away toward my car.

"A little." He says sarcastically. I just laugh to myself as I wave and finish walking to my car. When I got home I crashed on my bed.

"Hey wake up." I head Jess's vioce say. Jess, Jessica is my step-sister she is amazing. Jess has long black hair, and vibrant green eyes.

"I am up." I mutter and turn around to face the wall, still laying down.

"Come on!" she says, "Do I have to tickle you."

"Nope, nope, I am up."

"Good. BTW mom is stressed right now so be careful." She wishpered. Mom insisted on Jessica calling her mom. But I haven't quite gotten used to it.

"K. Thanks for the tip." I wishper back with a wink. She laughs and I join in with her. I get put of bed and we walk down stairs.

"Hey Chad!" I said when I sat at the table.

"Dad." My mom corrected me.

"Right, sorry." I said as I roll my eyes. I really didn't like calling Chad my Dad. Even though my father died when I was 4, I still remember him and miss him.

"It's okay Grace." Chad said with a frown. Even though mom married Chad when I was 5, I have never ever have called him dad. My mom always corrects me and Chad always says it's okay.

"Ready for dinner?" Jess asks.

"Yup, I am starving!" I say with a smile. Sometimes it feels like Jess is the only one in this family that gets me.
