"All flights to Puerto Rico are cancelled due to unexpected weather changes.." says the annoying bitch voice from the speaker..great. The one time I felt the need to apologise and get my life back in line, the stupid flight gets cancelled. Wonderful. Why take a flight just to apologise you may ask..? That's because, Gianna blocked me. Yeah, she blocked me.

Not wasting a second, I stomped over to the reception.."Excuse me, you don't understand.. I need, I mean I seriously need to get on a flight to Puerto—", "I'm sorry miss I cannot hel—", I interrupt him but slamming my palm on the counter before yelling anything that came to my head.

"You little piece of—" a bunch of arms dragged me away from that ass of a guy. Shrugging. I decided to stay away but I had nowhere to go. My phone was dead and so my heart. Then, I did something I wouldn't have thought of doing a couple days ago.

I settled in and laid on the foot path before sleeping away into a daze.. Mom isn't real. Clare adopted me from Karen. Dad is a drug dealer. Gianna and Damien kissed. And Oscar is in love with me.

When the fuck did my life turn upside down? It must be a dream, I silently think to myself as the cars whoosh past me..I wanted to start fresh. I wanted a new life.. I wanted to travel to Hong Kong something.. I mean, no one knows me and I like Asian food.. my thoughts joked around with me but my intention were serious.. I needed to get a grip.

It was around 3am in the morning, a blood red car pulled up by my side.. stepping into the ride, I apologised and thanked him.. Lucas wore sweat pants and a plain black t shirt, his hair was ruffled and a slight scruff could be noticed. His eyes were puffy, I woke him up. Way to go, what a great friend. Why did he even pick me up on the first ring? Huh.

"So..why d'you take off.. all of a sudden?" Lucas asked gently..as much as I wanted to answer that honestly, I couldn't. I just stared ahead, sitting silently and resisting the urge to break down. He didn't say anything more and neither did I. "Lucas.." I began, "Yeah?" he said.. "I-Is there anything else you need t-to tell me ab-about my family?" I asked quickly, still a little rattled.

If there was something, better off said than to be lied to. At least that's what Clare had told me. Irony of the situation. "No, I know nothing more..You know Gianna is so—" I didn't let him complete..I'm so done with apologies. "Lucas, thank you for doing all this, I mean you come back after 2 years only to tell me this and driving me back home at 3 in the fucking morning.. seriously, I don't know how I'll ever make it up to you", I say calmly.

Lucas and Damien are alike.. if Damien had silver hair and hadn't agreed to Oscar's shit deal. Huh. Funny thing, this life is.. after dropping me off home.. I decide to climb up my window with the help of the pipe. It took me roughly, half an hour to reach back. That's right. Man, I don't know how girls in movies have so much arm strength. Quietly stepping into the my room, I flip the lights on to find yet another shocking revelation in my now very screwed life.
