I looked out the window of the plane. I saw my dad standing at the gate waiting on the plane to take off. He wiped a tear from his face and waved one last time. I waved back even though I knew he probably couldn’t see me. I wanted to cry, but convinced myself that I’d get a good cry tonight when I arrived at my mother’s house. I was sitting in first class. I’d rather sit with the other normal people, but my mother’s new husband bought me first class. I knew that they were just trying to buy my forgiveness. See they got married without tell me. I didn’t even know that she had met Cosmo, (Yes just like Cosmo and Wanda off of the fairy odd parents.) until after she was engaged and married to him. I wasn’t even at the wedding. When I found out I was so mad that I quit taking my depression pills. My father of course didn’t know until it was almost too late. He found me in the bathroom lying on the floor in a small pool of my blood. I had found my old hidden raser in my dad’s dresser. As much as it hurt my father he had to admit me into the mental hospital once again. As soon as my mother found out she felt so bad. They both did. They felt like it was their fault that I stopped taking my pills and fell into a suicidal state again. Even though my dad knew that their wedding had been the fault of my falling of the edge he still agreed for me to visit them in California for a month.
Someone tapped on my shoulder pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked over and saw that it had been a flight attendant. Apparently I had spaced out threw the whole plane ride. I told her a quick thank you and quickly gathered my things. After I retrieved all my bags I sat down on a bench. Why make it easy for them. It was their fault that I almost died. It was their fault that I had fallen off the edge yet again. So this month I had made it my mission to make their life a living hell until they send me back home. I put in my headphones and put on my favorite song, My Immortal by Evanescence. After sitting there for ten minutes I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up irritated. What was it with people touching me? Do people in California not know the meaning of personal space? I stopped myself from snapping at the person when I noticed that it was my mother. I took out one ear bud and stood up. I was as tall as she was now. I could tell by the way my mother and the man I assume is Cosmo were staring at me. They hadn’t expected to see me dressed in all black. Well if my mother thought to come see me she’d know that I was Goth. Well you could say I was emo. Seeming as I’ve cut more then a few times.
Mom snapped out of her shock and hugged me. I hissed as her arms hit my stitches. She quickly let go of me.
“I’m so sorry. I forgot.” Said Mom all worried. “I was caught up in the moment. I haven’t seen my baby girl in a long time.”
“That’s your fault.” I said not very nice. I looked at Cosmo. He seemed uncomfortable. I knew what I had said made mom feel guilty but she hid it quickly.
“Let’s go. Everyone is dying to meet you.” said mom. She froze when she realized what she had said. I think she thought that the word dying would hurt me. I let her think it and just ignored her.
“What your mother is trying to say is that everyone’s really excited to meet you.” said Cosmo speaking for the first time.
“Yay.” I said sarcastically. He seemed to notice that I was being sarcastic. He grabbed my bags and I followed them to the parking lot. A limo pulled in front of us. A man got out and put my bags in the back. Cosmo and mom started to get in. I froze. They looked out when they noticed I wasn’t getting in. Cosmo looked confused. My mother suddenly realized what the problem was. She got out of the limo.
“I’m sorry. I was so excited about seeing you that I forgot that you won’t ride in limos.” Said Mom. Yeah she forgot. How do you forget that your only daughter won’t ride in a limo because she had been trapped inside a limo for two days?
“Honey, I’m going to take a taxi with Casey.” Said Mom. “I’ll explain everything at the house.”
“Kay.” said Cosmo getting out to kiss mom. After he left mom called for a taxi. Once we were driving again Mom started to speak.
“Your going to get along with Ryder and his friends.” said Mom.
“Ryder?” I asked confused. Mom looked over at me.
“Ryder is Cosmo’s son. He’s your age. He also has a 14 year old son Ty. Their friends also live with us.” said Mom.
“My doctor transferred my pills over to the local clinic. So I need to go get them tomorrow.” I said. Mother didn’t say anything. I knew she hated the fact that I wasn’t normal. We pulled up to a very big house. We walked into the front door. There sitting in the living room was four teens my age then two that looked younger.
“Guy’s this is my daughter Casey. Make sure she finds her room.” Said Mom. She turned towards me. “I have a dinner tonight. We can have a girl’s day tomorrow.”
“Whatever.” I said. She looked hurt then walked away. I knew they were all staring at me so I looked over at them.
“I’m Ryder. That’s my brother Ty.” said Ryder. He pointed towards the hot emo. “This is Ethan and his little brother Cody.” He then pointed to the blonde slut who was sitting next to him. “This is my girlfriend Haley and Ethan’s girlfriend Claire.”
I nodded.
“I’ve been dating your brother for three years.” Said miss slut.
“Let’s get this straight.” I said rudely. “1- they are not my brothers. 2- I don’t care who the hell you are. 3- don’t talk to me. 4. I’m not going to like you no matter how nice you act.” I turned towards Ethan’s girlfriend. She had become attached to him since I looked at him. “And 5- I don’t want your flipping boyfriend whore. So stop flipping glaring at me. I can beat your ass in a fight any day.”
“Wow bitch.” Said Claire she stood up. She was like 5’2 and I’m 5’7.
“I’ve taken karate since I was 3.” I said. “So unless you want to mess up your fake face and fake body you better sit your ass down.” I turned towards Ryder. “Now where’s my room.”
“I’ll show here.” Said Ethan. He didn’t look happy. He got up after Claire’s protests. I followed him. As soon as we we’re out of hearing range he spoke. I knew he would. He pointed to my room. Then turned towards me.
“Why do you act like a bitch?” asked Ethan. “Did you have to bitch out our girlfriends?”
“I’m here for one reason only. My mother is guilty.” I said. “They’re trying to buy me back. That and my mother’s scared because I’ve tried to commit suicide. She wants me to forgive here before I actually commit suicide.”
Cody and Ty came upstairs. They had my bags.
“You tried to commit suicide.” Said Ty.
“Yeah. Now scram punk.” I said.
“Yeah no.” said Ty. He opened my door to my room and took my bags onto my bed. I went and opened my bag that was full of my cd’s and posters. Cody grabbed my Asking Alexandria cd.
“They have a consert coming up. Ethan won’t let me go by myself. And Ethan’s girlfriend hates them.” Said Cody. I looked over at Ethan then back at Cody.
“I’ll see what I can do.” I said. Cody smiled.
“You like Asking Alexandria.” Said Cody.
“Yeah.” I said. “My ex got me into them.”
