Worst Nightmare

Chapter 1

4 Years Later

After a long day out with friends I was really excited to just spend the rest of the day relaxing at home in my bed. I don't think that I can emphasize the amount of love I have for my bed. If I could I would without a doubt marry my bed. There is just simply nothing greater on Earth.

Sadly, my fantasies are interrupted by my mother smacking me on my head.

"Ow" I yelp the minute her hand connects with my precious head. "What was that for" I whine as I rub my sore head.

"I've been calling your name for the past five minutes. What did you think you were going to get a present" she remarks.

"Why are you so mean to me. I'm you daughter. The person you gave birth to. Your flesh and blood. Your pride and joy." I say

"Yeah Yeah Yeah" she says waving off everything I said as if they aren't true.

"Anyways what did you need so bad that you had to interrupt my dad dreams" I remark.

"Yeah, because your day dream was so important. It's not like you were thinking about Tom Holland. You were just thinking about your bed as always. I mean if you were thinking about a boy I'd understand but this is your bed sweetie. Even I have a better love life than that."

I gasp pretending as if her words had actually hurt and clutch my chest as if I were in actual pain.

Laughing I say, "ok. In all seriousness what did you actually need."

"Oh I just wanted to let you know that I ordered some food and that it should be here soon" she says.

Oh god I think. That means something is really wrong. The last time she ordered food was when she wanted to tell me that her and dad were getting divorced. Although I can't really say that it was bad news. If I could have I would have said good riddance. Who needs a guy in their life who betrays their family. Definitely not me.

I'm so caught up in my own head that I don't even register that the food had already arrived while I have been having a mini panic attack.

We take out all of the food and within fifteen minutes of eating I can't take it anymore and I set my fork down ready to confront her.

"Ok mom. Let's cut the crap. I know you want to tell me something. I know you think that it is probably going to be the worst news of my life but I can take it. Come one just lay it on me." I say praying that I was just being dramatic.

"Honey, I um well I got a promotion at my job and part of that promotion means that I am going to have to travel out of the country for a while."

As soon as the news leaves her mouth I just start laughing. Oh my god I can't believe that I got so freaked out over nothing. This news isn't even worth take out food.

"Are you serious mom? That was the news. I can't believe you got me so freaked out over nothing. I'm really happy about your promotion but you didn't have to get any take out for this news. Anyways, I'm gonna head upstairs and watch Vampire Diaries." I say ready to relax after being so stressed.

"Honey, there's more." She says.

"Yeah" I say wishing she would hurry. All I wanna do is drool over the Salvatore brothers.

"The promotion requires that I am out of the country for the rest of the year meaning that I won't be home for your senior year." She says.

"Yeah I kind of got that the first time. I mean it kind of sucks but I'm happy for you. You have been wanting this promotion for a while. I mean as long as you are here for my graduation I will be fine. You don't have to worry about me I'm seventeen and besides I guess I'll be at grandma and grandpas for the year which you know I won't mind. So you can chill I'm not gonna freak out." I say hoping to calm her nerves but it seems as if my words have the opposite effect.

"Sweetie, you aren't going to be staying with your grandparents. You are going to be staying with your father for the year." She says.

I am in completed shock. There is no way that I am going to be staying with that asshole. I refuse. There is no way that they can force me. I haven't seen home in four years and I certainly don't plan to now.

" WHAT!! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I AM STAYING WITH THAT MAN!!"

After taking a deep breath I calmly say, "Why would you even want me to stay with him. You don't even like him and you know that I hate him."

"Sweetie I know that you don't like him for cheating on me but he did that to me not you. I don't want you to hate your dad forever because of something he did to me. He's your dad and he loves you. Just give him a chance. He might surprise you." She says trying to comfort me.

Her words don't help the situation at all. If anything it makes me even more furious. He has everybody fooled with his little act but I refuse to fall for it. I am never going to forgive him even if it kills me.

"You can say whatever you want mom but it's not going to change my mind. I bet you don't even want to send me there. He's probably forcing you." I retaliate.

"Honey, he didn't force me to do anything. I called him and asked him if you could spend the year with him. You NEED to fix your relationship with him. You might act like you hate him but your just hurt. You always were a daddy's girl and you will always will be." She says calmly.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!! UGHH." I groan out in frustration.

Clearly this was getting us nowhere. Angry and frustrated I grab my car keys and storm out of the house heading to the only place where I know someone will agree with me.
