His Prized Possession

Chapter 5: Goodbye Georgia, Hello California! Part-1

Like my aunt and uncle never fail to do, they through me a going away party that next morning. It wasn't big or fancy though. It was just family and close friends this time. You'd think I would be at least a little excited about this but I wasn't really. The thought of not seeing my family for months was devastating to me. I don't know if you could tell but I was so NOT ready for this. I packed my bag and sat on my bed sighing a bit. Just then I heard a knock on my door and I answered with a faint voice.

Paisley: Yes..?

Beck: May I come in?

Paisley: Uh.. Yeah sure..

(He came in with a smile on his face and noticed her face. He walked over to her and sat next to her)

Beck: Hey squirt.. What's wrong? Bad dream last night?

Paisley: Ha.. Very funny.. I'm just gonna miss home. That's all.

Beck: Homesick already? You're still in the house for Pete's sake.

Paisley: Ugh nevermind. I didn't expect you to understand anyway.

(She got up from the bed and left the room)

I have no idea why I though Beck would get it. He is a famous photographer with no real home to go to. He moves around all the time, I'm sure he's never been homesick. He's too self centered to think of others. As I walked down the hall and down the stairs, I tried to get my mind off him and what happened. Once I got to until bottom I was greeted by my sister Dakota and her husband. I was also greeted by my grandma Mona and Auntie Beatrix, though I call her Aunt Bea. She's actually a ballet dancer and travels allot. She was always wearing her signature white pearls and big glasses. At times she looks more like a Hollywood actress than a prima ballerina. The last person I saw was my mother. I went to say hello but she didn't even look my way. I knew she was upset with me and my choices but I didn't think she'd be this upset. I shrugged it off for now and joined everyone in the living room.

Auntie June: I'm so happy that you all could make it to Paisley's going away party to be a model. Oh we are all so proud of you.

Aunt Bea: I always knew my little bumblebee would be a star. (She smiled)

Beck: Bumblebee? (He smirked)

Paisley: Aunt Bea!... I'm too old for that pet name.

(Paisley started blushing and Beck snickered Abit)

Aunt Bea: Nonsense.. Now when where you going to introduce me to your very.. Handsome.... Boyfriend..

(She said with a smile on her face and tilted her glasses down to get a better look at him)

Paisley: Ew.. He's not my boyfriend... This is Beck Newington, a famous photographer...I think.

(Paisley said as a joke and giggled some as Beck just glared at her a bit before taking Aunt Bea's hand and gently kissed it)

Beck: It's a pleasure to meet you.. I'm starting to see which side of the family Paisley gets her beauty from... She favors you allot. You look very familiar... Have we met? Ah yes! Beatrix Baylex. The most beautiful prima to every dance.

Aunt Bea: (blushes) Oh my... Only if I was much younger... And not married.... Mostly not married.. I'd most definitely have my eyes on you.

Aunt Bea blushed some more and giggled. I swear hearing them both made me throw up in my mouth a little, it was so disgusting. I knew Beck was just getting under my skin at this point. I rolled my eyes and went over to my Mona. I really wanted to talk to my mother though she acted as if I wasn't even there. I guess Mona could tell from the look on my face why I was upset.
