The Ballerina and The Bad Boy.

Moving..

The last thing I wanted was to move away from my home town, especially moving away from my mother. Ever since my dead beat "father" left us when I was 4 to work out some personal problems but never came back, its just been my mother and I. Come to find out he moved a couple states away to work out his personal problems. I never really forgave him for leaving us but here I am... moving away from my home town to this dick I have to call "dad' for an entire year. My grandpa died 3 years ago and my grandma just recently died, they watched me while my mom got deployed but since they're both gone, I had to move in with my dad who currently lives in Washington. Arizona's heat was a pain in the ass but as much as I hate to admit it, I was gonna miss this heat, the warmth on my skin and sunny weather. I was going to miss my friends although I didnt have many and most of all, I was gonna miss the dance studio.

----- 4 hours later------

"staying in a the same seat for a long time can do wonders for your neck" note the sarcasm.

"Lonnie, can you just stop your complaining and get this over with? Look for your father."

Seriously? Look for my father? He didn't even deserve to be called a father, much less a man. Biting my tongue was something I wasn't good at but for my mothers sake, I did as said and look this man who I haven't seen for over 10 years. The airport as full of people coming and going, I guess this was expected since it is the week before thanksgiving. A blanket of sadness and envy was thrown over me looking at all the families boarding the planes to go back to their loved ones, knowing that they were able to spend thanksgiving with their mom.

Staring at everyone walking by because I'm a total creep, I noticed a man in a black suit probably in his late 30s or early 40s holding a sign that said "Lonnie. H."

Slowly I walked over and feeling like I was about to vomit because of how nervous I was and shakily said "I'm Lonnie H?" sounding more like a question than a statement.

The mysterious man in the black suit looked at me and motion me to follow him. Feeling my moms presents we followed the man outside the airport to reveal a black, shiny, highly expensive looking car waiting for us. Before getting in the car the man took our luggage and placed them in the trunk, not wanting to feel helpless I opened the car door for my mother and sat next to her in the back seat.

About 10 minutes into the drive I said "So... Im guessing your not my dad?" Chuckling he said "No I am not your father, Miss Harrison."

Without even noticing what I was saying. "Well where the hell is he?" A little pang of guilt hit me. My moms eyes widen as I let the words slip my mouth.

After that I never felt so much tension and awkwardness in such a small car. I decided it was best if I listen to some music and not talk anymore.

The drive seem to last about hours on end, maybe I'm being a little dramatic but GOD.. its like driving Miss Daisy. Finally, our drive came to an end. Reading a sign that said "Welcome to Leavenworth"

Leavenworth was so much bigger than my little old reservation.

Yes, reservation.. My great grandmas dad was white, my grandma's husband was Mexican and my dad was native. Its confusing as it sounds, trust me, I even get confused thinking about it. Lets me tell you something about my shit town...

Well first of all, the system was fucking up, its amazing the councilmen still had control. Second, you can basically buy marijuana and alcohol at any corner, in my opinion, its ridiculous. Third, suicide, murder, rape and alcoholism are sooooooo common, its quite sad. Your basic reservation.

Thankfully for me I lived a couple miles from the boarder line that separated the reservation from good side of town. Lucky for me, I attended school off the rez and got to experience more opportunities than most would. Most people accepted me because I wasn't the annoying native that complained but mostly because I didn't look the part.

Being native and mexican you'd expected me to be "dark" but I was light complected which I thought was amazing because I hate being just another face in the crowed.

"Oh my.. this town is lovely!" said my mom snapping me out of thoughts about my home town. She stared at the town in awe while I looked around trying to look for a dance studio. I've been dancing since I was 7, not breaking dancing. Ballet.. Yes I said it, ballet, total cliché right? I put myself through hell everyday for 4 hours a day and repeat. Although ballet is hard, its one of my passions. When I'm depressed, pissed or stressed I cant think of a better way to relieve everything besides grabbing my pointes and dance my problems away.

"Yes.. yes Mr. Harrison. We're just approaching right now as we speak. Yes, I'm sure she'll understand.. yes, okay bye" I faintly heard as snapped out of my thoughts and removed my headphones.

"Miss Harrison?"

"Yes?"

"Your father just called and said he can't greet you upon your arrival. He sends his deepest apologizes, apparently he's been called into a very important meeting"

"Thanks but I really don' t care. Disappointment from him is nothing new"

"Lonnie..."

"what? Its true mom... and you freaking know it!" Suddenly I felt so guilty because I know how much my mom still likes my dad but he ran away like a coward. Another one of the reasons why I hate is fucking guts.

"I'm sorry mom. I guess I'm just a little nervous" smiling weakly

"Its okay. I know this is a lot to take in. Just control that damn temper!"

For someone who dances graceful and elegant you'd think I'd rarely get mad but nopeee! My temper is basically like a light switch.

My dad, being the ass he is I thought he'd live in a shitty trailer that you see in movies but... damn, was I wrong! We approached a breathtaking mansion bigger than other one I've seen before. My eyes widen with amazement and shock. It was even huge from far away. There was a large fountain up front like you see in movies.
