"Mother I can't do this anymore! " I yelled at her.

"You can't do what live with yourself!?  It's embarrassing for my co-workers and clients to see somebody like you!  At least put a color on!"

"You don't get it mom! Just send me away like you said I would maybe I'll feel happiness! "

"Fine." She said she walked out of the room.  Okay let me go back a tiny bit. Today was my first day at school.   About one hour ago my school called my mom to pick me up because I already got in a fight.  With a guy.  And she had to leave work and tell her co-workers this stuff...  She is ashamed of me. And now she is packing my bad and sending me from new York to California.  Across the country.. Great.. 

***2 weeks later***

Today is the day my mom is renting a large 3 bedroom apartment...  And I'm also getting a credit card and my plane ticket is for 2 am tomorrow morning. And I'm leaving it all behind.. Oh did I mention...  My mother is a multi millionaire...  She owns a company..  And it creates beauty appliances.. My mother really doesn't love me.  And she sleeps with every guy that comes up to her.  She really could care less about me.  But for some reason...  I want to stay and try to help even though all she has done to me has made my life 10x worse than needed.  I arrive to the airport

"By mother" I said to her almost uneasy.

"Bye." She said as soon as I grabbed my bags she stormed off.

Okay then I guess I'm on my ow- then a dog whistle I turn around its a guy....  Calling out to me..  This is why I wear baggy clothes mother!  I think to myself.  She forced me to wear shorts and a tank top. I grabbed a large black hoodie and throw it on with some headphones.  After about 6 hours  we're on the plain. I have a kid sitting behind me and a hot guy next to me.  Just my luck. The kid sitting in front of me is his little sister.  I plug in my headphones and blast my rock music drowning out the sounds. He was on  his laptop.  Then he grabs a blanket and his laptop fell on my toe. I look down I lean down to pick it up for him then his little sister pulls off my head phones.

"Sorry my brother is a bit dumb" She says and giggles.

"Oh no it's fine. I'm sure he isn't that dumb." I say back. 

"Shut up Adilyn, " he said and laughs.

"I'm sorry miss." He said and picks up his laptop.

"It's fine.. "  I spoke back putting my headphones in and listening to my music.

I start to fall asleep.  I feel a tap on my shoulder my eyes open slowly.  My head is resting on his shoulder. My head shot up off of him.

"I'm so sorry! "

"It's fine I just have to use the bathroom. " He said and smiles and laughs softly.

I blush and look away.  He gets up and goes to the bathroom. 

His sister then says softly " My brother thinks you're cute. You're lucky.  Most girls would die."

" I'm not most girls...  Sorry sweetie.. " I said trying not to be rude.  I start to drift off again.

***hours pass***

I open my eyes it's the plane landing so I can get onto the next. The plane lands I get off.  I have only one bag.  I sit down waiting for my plane to get prepared.  It's now 12:38am. Flight 103 to California is ready to be loaded.  I stand up.  I look around.  I soon get on my delayed flight..  Now we're flying on the way to California.  I get there.  It's 7pm. I walk outside and call my taxi.  I end up driving to the address.  I walk up the keys we're handed to me.  I open the apartment I freeze.  Wow..  This is too much it's too big.  It's too boring.  I walk to a back room already furnished?  The bed looks so comfy.  I layed in it.  My stomach growled. I stood up walked to the fridge empty through Cubords. Nothing.  I look there is pots and pans.  I make a grocery list and walk around the area until I found a grocery store. I walk in.  I get what I want and what I need.  Which is a lot I call a taxi so I don't have to walk with this much stuff. I get home I put everything away.  I get a knock on the door.  I walk over and open it. 

"Hello miss I just wanted to sa- oh...  I can come back when your parents are home if you like.. " The small older lady said. 

"Actually I live alone.. " I said trying not to get mad.

" Oh my I'm so sorry! That was rude of me.  Welcome to the neighborhood if you need anything in that apartment."  She points to the other side of the Hall.  We're the only two in this floor...  Which is the third.

"Thank you. " I say. Not really caring bit made it believable.

" Oh and here." She hands me a basket with two pairs of fuzzy socks,  lotion,  candles,  matches, chocolate, cookies, and a blanket attached to the basket.

"Oh thank you so much!" I say acting happy and fake smile. She smiles back.

"You're welcome dear.  Have a good night. " She said and walks away.  I shut my door. And roll my eyes.  Already don't like this. I walk to the kitchen and made some cereal.  I check the time.  It's 11pm.. Why would she come over so late?  Oh well  I put the basket down and go to my room and layed down god it's so warm.  My house is so cold. I got up locked the doors ate then I went to sleep.  I wake up to my mother calling me reminding me to go buy school stuff.

"Okay mother I'm getting up right now." I said as she hangs up.  I got up and grabbed clothes.  I walked into the bathroom and turned on the bath.

Hey guys! Okay so first chapter and this is a bit of a mess.  I have had this book idea for a while. I gave it to my friend and she never used it so I asked if I could do it and well...  It took a while to have her say yes. I can't wait for more sorry if the Grammer is off!  Hehe.
