chapter 1

            ______jess pov_______

What a beautiful day I think to myself as lightening clashes causing me to jump.

It was my seventeenth birthday and I was hoping it wouldn't storm for once like it always does, but lucky me it did.

"Jessica come down stairs we've got a surprise for you!" Shouted my mother.

Throwing some different clothes on, I head downstairs to find my mother and her worthless, pathetic boyfriend standing in the living room.

My mother had her hands behind her back and was wearing a huge smile on her face.

As soon as they saw me they both wished me a happy birthday.

I smiled and thanked them.

"So, give her the present Alice." Said Tony, my mothers boyfriend.

He was a complete douche to her and myself and I couldn't put it together why on earth she was still with him.

"Oh yeah, here ya go sweetie!" she swung a rectangular box from behind her. It was wrapped nicely in pink and gold wrapper and had a cute ribbon around it.

"Aww thank you so much mom!" I said and gave her a hug.

Tony scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Well don't thank us just yet," he said "open it up."

I did as he said, undid the ribbon and tore open the wrapper.

Inside was a rose gold IPhone 7

Wow

"Thank you both so so much!"
I say.

My mom gives me another hug, Tony gives me a fake smile and then grabs his keys and coat from the table.

"I've gotta get to work." He states while checking the time on his watch.

Thank god he's leaving.

"O-Oh alright honey, have a great day." says my mother.

"You too." he replies before giving her a kiss on the cheek and heading out the door.

"Why are you with him?" I question, for what feels like the thousanth time.

"Well, he's good to us." she says with a shrug.

"He treats you like crap, mom."

"No he doesn't he's just stressed."

"Whatever you say."

I slump down on the sofa and flip through channels mindlessly for what feels like forever until I hear something that catches my attention.

A young woman in Orlando, Florida was found stabbed multiple times in the chest and lower back regions in her home, police say it to be a homicide. no leads have been found. In other news-

my mother comes in and turns off the television.

"I don't want you watching this."

"Alright."

"Go check out your new phone." She suggested.

I nod and got upstairs, I had put it on the charger.

Turning it on I see I already have a message.

Weird, I didn't give anyone my number.
