“Yeah me too, Im new my dad got transferred from work, I used to live in America, how about you? Why did you move?

His eyes sadden. “I was bullied” he replied sadly. “The bullies got so bad I never got a break so I moved to Sydney with my Mom”

“Oh that’s horrible I say feeling extremely sorry for him, “You had to move country because of it”? That’s a little extreme.

“I know I Know but it’s for the best right now I will be happier, especially as I am friends with you.

A warm feeling rushes through me. “I know it’s a little hasty, but do you want to do something this weekend"? How about bowling? He says cooly.

Of course my reaction was YES YES YES, but I played it Cool so

“I would love that I say”

“So it’s a date? He says leaning a little closer to me.

“Yes I would love that!” I say excitedly and then he hugs me it felt amazing I never wanted it to end, but an annoying kid barges through us and we break apart. After looking at my watch I realise I’m supposed to be home. I have to go now Dylan here’s email we can chat together" i say

“I would love that very much” he says happily. I bound all the way home with a giant smile on my face I can’t believe that happened! As I open the door I see Dad and a Blonde woman KISSING! Like Ew I stand there Traumatized

I hear a baby screaming in the Kitchen as Dad and the lady stop kissing Dad turns to me, Oh Izzy I dint know you were looking, Sorry! “It’s okay dad, sort of.. Who is she”? Well Izzy we have very exciting news! “Ok here goes…Me and Laura are going to be… GETTING MARRIED! I stand there Shocked at what I just heard, I never knew they were dating let alone thinking about marriage! I stare at Dad. “Well sweetheart I was dating her when i went to Sydney for my work and you got left with Aunt Christa. Then when i had to leave we realized that I was in America and she was in Sydney so… I moved here so we can be a big happy family again! I stand still ANGER bubbling up inside me. I cough a little

“So dad, that’s why we moved?” “Yes sweetie I couldn’t stay away from my baby girl” I stare again. “Dad shes a fully grown woman you know” He looks a little awkward “Uhh not her. “My baby daughter Amelia” I suddenly feel like id been punched. Daughter? I didn’t even know about I guess that explains the excessive crying from the kitchen “Um I’m sorry I’m confused you had a baby and never told me, I’m sorry wait a minute I’m getting a new mom? “THAT’S WHY WE MOVED AND PUT ME THROUGH ALL THIS TORCHURE WITH MAY BECAUSE OF HER! “Oh that’s ok isn’t it because Jack Heart gets what he wants when he wants”. I’m going upstairs don’t even try to talk to me!

I’ve had it what a horrible end to what I thought would be the best day of my life. So now I’m going to be forced to talk to Laura who will be my mom eventually. She knocks on the door, A rush of panic runs through me and i start to shake a little. “Uh come in” I say with my voice shakey.

Her blue eyes soften “Isobel I’m really sorry that you didn’t know before now about me and your dad and I’m especially sorry that you never knew that I was pregnant and I honestly thought he had told you girls. She bites of a nail; I wonder how Rose will take it. “Anyway darling I’m genuinely sorry about all this I know it was all a shock to you, I know you don’t want this to happen but I would really love your support can you please support me and Jack”? I sigh as she was so nice, I gave in. “Okay” I reply Laura looks relieved “Thank you Isobel” Now this might be too soon but would you like to meet your sister”? I smile “I would love to; hopefully she is nicer than Rose is as a sister!” Laura smiles “I’m sure you will love her I will go bring her up I’m sure she’s excited to meet you
