Chapter 1

 

I was standing in my front yard,looking at everything. Just savoring the sight. This was my home. Los Angeles is my home. At least that is what I try to tell my self. My white cottage styled house with a red garage,brown door and brown awning. The two big windows and four small ones. The big chimney that would lead down to the fire place. I would stare at it on Christmas eve waiting for Santa to come down. When it got to late I would just fall asleep there and get disappointed when I would wake up and it's morning. All the presents would be there. The big tree that I use to climb when I was a little kid, and broke my arm falling out of. I always was clumsy. That is my home. Well the place that was suppose to be my home. I never did feel like I belonged there. I start to walk in the street to try to make sure I will remember everything and everyone. A couple of my neighbors came out to say goodbye and that they will miss me. Even though I probably won't, I say I will to. I never really fit in here, like I never actually belonged.

Crystal always tried to get me to improve my style. When she says improve she means girly, girly, and more girly. The dresses, skirts, high heals the whole deal. But there was just no way I was actually going to do that. I like jeans and a shirt. That's my style. I don't think I own one single thing of pink. My dad always liked that about me and hated it about me.

I'm the non-girly daughter that could play sports with him when Aaron wasn't home. Well that would work if I wasn't so clumsy. Just then Adam, my dad, jogged over to me. "You know Abbie you don't have to go live with your mom. Me and Crystal would love to have you in Florida with us." Crystal is my step mother. She just got transferred to a law firm in Florida. Crystal is one of the smartest blonde's I know. She has green eyes and is the same height as me, 5'5. She is truly gorgeous. Since my brother Aaron is away at college, I thought it would be a good time to go live with my mom, Maddie, for a little bit. You know give them time without a 16 year old girl to look after. Well that's one of the reasons. I don't even like to think about the other reason. I just want to get as far away from here as possible. "No, no dad it's fine. I'm going to go live with Maddie...I mean mom. And you and Crystal will go to Florida and have a great time." I said as my dad looked at me with doubt. Finally he said "Alright Hun, then we should get to the airport before your plane takes off without you."

When we got to the airport my plane wasn't ready to take off yet so I started looking around. There were lights of all different colors. People coming off planes, getting on planes, getting out or in their car. People standing at the counter getting their ticket or complaining about their plane not being ready yet. Their was a lot of different emotions in that room. Some people were sad but trying to be strong because they were leaving. Some were ecstatic to be here. Some where extremely aggravate. There was this one boy, probably no older then 13, he was in a lot of pain. You could just see it on his porcelain face. In his big green eyes you could see the hurt and anger that he has. I felt bad for him because his parents abandon him after 12 years and now he has to go live with his dads brother,Mike. I looked away but I couldn't stop thinking about the boy in pain.

Finally after I was done Crystal pulled me aside while my dad was paying for my ticket. She pulls a cell phone out of her bag. I never had one because I didn't think I needed it. "Here Abbie, call everyday." Crystal said as she was wiping away a tear from her cheek. I gave her a hug and said "I promise." You see Crystal was the mom to me that Maddie wasn't. "I love you Abigail." I rolled my eyes. "Cris you know I hate that name, but I love you to." My dad walked over to catch us laughing. I would only call Crystal Cris when she called me by my full name. She hates when I call her that. My dad handed me my ticket and said "I am going to miss you." I let out a single laugh and said "Aw dad don't go all weepy on me." Then over the intercom my flight was called. "Well I guess that's me." I said. "Okay Hun, call me as soon as you land." Crystal said, still crying. "I will Cris. I love you both." I said and gave them both a hug a then headed toward my plane.
