My name is Sophia Torres-Grey and I am 15 years old. Let me tell you a little bit about my life. I live with my mother Mitchie Torres in New York City where I go to a fancy private school that I hate. I know what you must all be thinking. Rich girl with an amazing house and a great life.
Well, the truth in the matter is that I really do not have any of those things. Let me start from the beginning. First off, I do not have a father. Well I do in a matter of speaking but I do not know who he is.
To be honest I do not really care. Him and my mom had a huge falling out and he left her and me. Never looking back. He knows about me but doesn't care enough to see me. That's what I figured anyway. I do not ever bring up my dad to my mom. It upsets her too much.
Anyway, my mom is not rich and we do not live in a fancy brownstone of apartment complex. No, we live in the middle class area. It is not bad at all. Just in the middle. It is the best of both worlds when you think about it. All of the neighbors are so nice and they generally care about each other. There is not crime. Just peace. If I had to say that would be one of the best parts of my life.
Especially because my best friend Ryan lived next door to me. He and I spend almost every waking moment together. Not only is he my best friend but he also happens to be my boyfriend. Unfortunately, he goes to public school since he cannot afford the school I go to. It is ok though we make it work. I have many friends in my school, and in Ryan's school.
Well how does my mom afford to send me to such a great school? Well it really is quite simple. She has some very close friends who also happen to be very very loaded. You may actually know who they are. They were in a very famous band called Connect 3. Yup, that's right, I know Nate and Jason Grey.
My mom and I are very close to them. They may be known are Nate and Jason of Connect 3 but to me, its Uncle Nate and Uncle Jason. I am sure you are all wondering where Shane Grey fits into all of this. The answer is simple actually. I never met him.
Go figure right? Not Even Uncle Jase or Uncle Nate see him anymore. The band broke up about 14 years ago. I do not know for sure. I never found the reason important. All I know is that Shane Grey was too egotistical and jerkish and the brothers had enough.
When Shane was confronted by my Uncles he quit the band and went solo. In fact, he still is making albums and touring around. I think his tour is going to kick up soon. The only people that Shane contacts every now and again is his parents. The brothers are not on good terms for whatever reason.
I have never questioned anything about that kind of stuff. It is all in the past. I did not find it worth to bring it up. But that was a long time ago. Now I am 15 without a father, and I think it is damn well time that I find out who he is. I cannot be worried about Shane Grey. I need to find my father.
Unfortunately all of that is going to have to wait. My Uncles are flying up from LA to NYC to visit me and my mom along with my aunts.
You see, Uncle Nate and Uncle Jason are married. Uncle Nate married my mom best friend Caitlyn Geller. Uncle Nate may be done with the music biz and is retired but Auntie Cait is not. She is a music producer for some very big names. Yeah, that's right, she produced music for Paramore, Green Day, Simple plan and more. But the best part is that she and Uncle Nate are expecting. I am so excited. Since my mom was pregnant with me at 19, I do not have any cousins close to my age.
There is also Uncle Jase. He married this woman named Danielle about 12 years ago. They were together for a few years before he finally tied the knot. They have one son named Andy who is 5 but he is not coming up with them. He is staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Texas.
I really am so excited for them all to come up. I have not seen them for over a year with everyone so busy. But, after they leave in two weeks, I will go back on my hunt to find my father. I could always ask one of them because I am sure they all know. But I do not want them to tell my mom. I do not want her to find out I do indeed want to know who my father is. I think she already feels guilty enough having me grow up all these years without him even though she thinks I want nothing to do with him. If she knew the truth, I would feel bad.
The best part of my life is having such a great family. Even though most of them really are not related to me. Why is my last name Grey then? I asked my mom that same thing before. She says that I disserve to have a real family. Since the Grey's practically are, my mom had my last name be Torres-Grey to make it seem more like they are my family.
I find that silly but whatever. When people ask me what my last name is I leave out the Grey part, no one in my school even knows my real last name is Grey. I do not want people to know I am "related" to them.
If they did they would just end up using me to get to them. Also, who wants to be connected to Shane Grey? Even though technically we are not at all, well, the thought that some people might think that makes me want to puke.
If there is one thing in the world I want to do besides finding my father is that I never, ever, want to cross paths with Shane Grey.
AN: So what do you think? A new chapter will be posted soon. Because this is the first chapter there is no dialogue. But I promise the rest of the chapters will not be like this.
Leave me a review and tell me what you think
