Lost With Myself

Chapter One

*Jade's pov*

I used to think that my first flight would be memorable but this sucks.  Here I am,  sitting by a bunch of people I have never seen and won't meet again. I mean I used to dream of sitting by a guy about 18 who would fall in love with me, we'll grow up, get married and have children...... Too far fetched?  But imaginations are what makes like what it is.  Could this flight ever end?
So I'm currently walking in the airport searching for the people who are to receive me. 'Hey she's here's. I heard that voice that I've been avoiding. 'Honey,I'm over here'
I turned around to see them about fifteen feet away from me.  My mom, and I'm supposed to put up a perfect behavior around her.  It's so difficult when you despise her.
"Love, I missed you. How long has it been,  three years? "did she just ask that? I rolled my eyes
" Eleven Clara "I technically spat the words out. "let's just go, I'm exhausted and need proper sleep"
"But you haven't even met Kevin yet" she wouldn't really want to have this conversation if she knew what was in my head
"yes, I haven't and probably won't want to meet your new play mate " I just said that and I know I shouldn't but she asked for it.  Then I turned around and met the Kevin dude and said 'run before she leaves you in midair'
" well that was rude" oh no! He shouldn't have said that.  I was about to spill the venom on my tongue before Clara muttered a ' let's go home before you create a scene'. I closed my pigeon hole and followed them.
"so, how is Atlanta "she was asking
I scoffed"been better without you and everybody loves it that way"
She ignored it and said "well kevin here and I have been together for seven years now and we have Kayla.  You would love her"
"Catch you later" it was my last phrase before putting the earpiece on and drifting off
'Jade, Jade '  was that my mom? 'we're here' when I finally got up and out, my jaw dropped, literally,. I thought I was in Queen Elizabeth's castle except we were no where near there. I quickly recomposed myself and put on my IDK look.
"Like what you see? This is our little home, hope you love it" she said that as though the house was a piece of cake.  I could literally become the world's richest by selling this house along with her.
"Yeah, a house you got through sex, really pays off" Just then I saw a little girl about six years running towards her, she embraced Clara like she had been gone forever. Then she turned towards me.
"Hi I'm Kayla "she said. Sweet for a kid but money talks
"hey I'm jade" I barely finished my sentence before she embraced me in quite a tight hug.  I warmly received it. I might hate her mom but not her.
" I know you. Mom talks a lot about you. She says you're cool and I'm happy I have a big sister " she said. She just doesn't know what's behind all this shot.  I look at Clara and she's smiling at us.  Well Kayla seems nice.  I guess I could deal with her. "I'm happy too" I said more to myself than her.
She dragged me in, showed me her room, the poolside and all that bulls hit.
"Jade honey, please come here "Clara called.  What could she possibly want?
"what do you want" I asked. She gave me a warm smile and asked to follow her. The room she took me to was heaven on earth.  I mean my ideal room.  No pink, no annoying colour just plain whiteout classy.  It could pass off for a boy's room
"your new room. Em, do you like it? " her words free me out of my thoughts and I realized she was still there
"oh yeah,  I mean it's okay I guess". That was the best I could say. I couldn't give her the pleasure of thinking dad isn't good enough.
"okay love, see you at dinner". Finally she's out.  I walked to my suitcase and started unpacking.  Your all the clothes in the walk in closed and settled for a simple tan top with jeans shorts.
During dinner,  Clara tried to make conversation but I diverted my attention to Kayla instead.  It's bad enough I've time with her.  The least she could do is to leave me alone.
"Jade dear,  you're saying school next week at Oaks high.  It's good enough I guess and Kevin has a small gift for you" she said. She really wanted to win me over
" Thanks for the school and no thanks for the gift.  I don't think I want it. " As I finished the smile on Kayla's face fell.
"Big Sissy,  you would like it. It's a black sleek car,  please take it". Those puppy eyes got me under a spell.
"Okay,  I'll take it for Kayla. But Kevin  please don't try to buy me over"
"I wouldn't dare do so. " Now that I listened to him he clearly had the looks and voice to woo any lady.
"Okay, thanks for the food and tonight"
