~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Levántate" (get up) my father screamed in my ear

I shot up from my bed and saw that it was 5:30 a.m and an exhausted groan came from my throat.

"Empaca tus cosas que nos vamos en una hora" (pack your stuff we are leaving in an hour) he said and then left my room.

I got up from my bed and went to my mother's room to get one of her suitcases and brought it back to my room.

I can't believe I'm moving to America. I have to leave everything behind. Why are we moving to California anyway? I barely know any English.

As I start packing my life into a little suitcase a tear rolls down my cheek and onto a picture of my mom and me and a sad smile made its way onto my face.

I packed some clothes of mine and also packed some of my mom's things so I have something to remember her by.

I finished packing and went downstairs to see Axel impatiently waiting."Vamos" (let's go)

My eyes were glued to the floor on the way to the airport. "Flight 214 from Valencia Spain to Los Angeles California Boarding now" we made our way onto the plane and took our seats.

"¿Por qué nos mudamos a California?" (Why do we move to California?) I cautiously asked and a smirk grew on his face"Estoy empezando mi propia pandilla" (I'm starting my own gang)

What did he just say? is he serious right now? Why does he want his own gang?"

"Qué? ¿Por qué" (What? Why) I asked to which he just laughed

"Porque ahora que tu Graciella se ha ido, puedo concentrarme en alguien más útil para mis necesidades." (Because now that Graciella is gone, I can focus on someone more useful for my needs.) he said with a laugh.

I can't believe him I knew he was cheating on mom but hearing it out loud makes it so much worse. Mom just died and he doesn't even care all he cares about is himself.

"cuando voy a encontrarme con ella" (when I'm going to meet her?) I asked him  "nuestra boda" (our wedding) he said and I let out a loud gasp "¿Qué? te vas a casar con ella" (What? you are going to marry her) I said not expecting that answer.

let's just hope she's nice. who am I kidding if she's with my dad shes obviously not. Shes probably a gold digger, using the money from my mother's death to her benefit. And now I have to live with some stranger great.

"si y ella tiene un hijo" (yes and she has a son) he said matter of factly.

So I'm going to have a brother. I hope he is a least a decent human being. I can't believe this, not only do I have to deal with an annoying gold digger but a spoiled little kid.

15 HOURS LATER: LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA

I got off the plane and looked around and this is definitely different than Spain that's for sure.

I pulled up to my new house and started to unpack the car and bring my stuff to my new room. A couple of hours later when I got my room the way I wanted it to look I heard the doorbell ring.

"ding dong" I was really confused at who was here so late at night until I walked downstairs and saw my dad making out with a blonde bimbo and a boy right behind her just standing there looking around.

"quien es ella" (who is she) I asked even though I already knew the answer.

The woman looked up at me and an evil glare appeared on her face. "So this is your slut of a daughter" she said with a high pitched screech.

A gasp escaped my lips as I heard those words leave her mouth. I can't believe she would say that to me. No wonder my dad likes her shes exactly like him.

I can't believe she's going to be my stepmom.

All of a sudden I heard a masculine voice speak up "now that's not very nice mom." I directed my gaze towards the voice and was met with a teenage boy with long dark hair and eyes that seemed to be staring into my soul.

Now I don't know lots of English but I think he just defended me. Why? He doesn't even know me. Maybe just maybe this won't be as bad as I thought.

Since it wasn't very late I decided to watch a movie as I was downloading the movie I️ heard my door open and close I️ turned around to see my new "brother" walk in.

"Can I️ help you with something" I️ asked him. He just looked at me and smirked "no just wanted to see what you were doing." He said in a soft voice "oh ok I'm just about to watch a movie" I️ whispered. "Mind if I️ join I don't have anything else to do" I️ looked at him hesitantly "yeah sure" I️ said to him. "I'll go make some popcorn and then we can start the movie" he said with a genuine smile.

Why is he being so nice to me? He doesn't even know me. Maybe he isn't actually as bad as I️ was anticipating.

~10 minutes later~

He returned with a bowl of popcorn and some candy to say I️ was excited was an understatement I️ don't even remember the last time I️ had candy.

He sat down next to me on the couch and handed me a box of skittles (which are my favorite) and I️ was so happy. It's been so long since a stranger has shown me kindness.

"Hey what's your name?" I️ questioned him

"Jake. My name is jake"  he said with a smile "what's your name?" He said I️n a deep voice "Valerie. My name is Valerie" I️ said copying the way he said it. He let out a soft chuckle and we started the movie.

I️ just hope Eva will be as nice as Jake maybe life won't suck that bad if she warms up to me. I️ don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.
