I Do Not Own My Candy Love
Sorry If This Offends
Chapter 1: Explanation
Emmeline's POV
My heart is officially broken.
My best friend has been dating my boyfriend for over two months now.
Now I'm moving away to a town called Sweet Amoris to live with my aunt since my dad is a FBI detective that travels around the country catching psychos like on 'Criminal Minds' and my mom died last month in a car accident.
My moms death was my fault. We were test driving my birthday present because I had just turned sixteen. I was driving below the speed limit and minding my own business when a drunk guy hit us. I got a concussion and almost fell into a coma, but my mom wasn't so lucky since it was the passenger side he rammed into.
It was after I got out of the hospital that Dake broke up with me. He told me about him and Lucy. My best friend and boyfriend betrayed me.
So here I am, in front of my aunts apartment, on a perfectly good Sunday, with my dad.
My dad had Hazel eyes and tan skin. His face was always a friendly type of serious. He had light brown hair that was cut in a army style.
Me on the other hand was different. I had my father's hazel eyes and my mother's pale skin. I also had her bleach blonde hair but my father's friendly type of serious face.
While my dad was in a suit, I had some jeans, a plain black t shirt and a hoodie that kept the edges of my face hidden.
"Well, let's go." he told me with a faint smile.
Since we were both staying here (him when he's actually home) we both had two suitcases full of clothing and important stuff.
My father knocked his normal rythmed knock that kids do. After a moment my aunt opened the door.
She had the same hazel eyes we had but a completely friendly face. Her hair was dyed bright pink that complemented her pink and white Sunday dress.
"Big brother!" she screamed welcoming him with a huge hug.
She gasped, "Is that Emmeline? She looks so much like you and April." my mothers name sent chills down my spine.
"Yes, Emmaline, this is Auntie Tata." my father told me.
"Pft, call me Auntie, the whole town does!" she exclaimed, "Now, everyone just got back from church and normally every Sunday I have the same crew over to have dinner with us. So, Emmeline, I'll drop you off with the people whos your age while I catch up with your dad. We'll catch up later" she whispers the last part to me.
She then proceeds to leave our stuff in the closet before taking me to the back room.
The back room has a couple couches and tables and a t.v. in the corner. As we enter everyone looks my way.
"This is my niece, Emmeline. I hope you make her feel welcome while us adults talk like always." she waved goodbye and shut the door before I could say anything.
I gulped.
There was a lot of people in the room; A red haired boy with gray eyes, a blonde boy with gold eyes, a white haired boy with a green and gold eye, a blue haired boy with pink eyes, and black haired boy with ice blue eyes, a brown haired boy with green eyes, a red haired girl with blue eyes, a black haired girl with blue eyes, and dark skinned girl with black hair and lime green eyes, a purple haired girl with gray eyes, a white haired girl with gold eyes, a brown haired girl with blue eyes, a chinese girl with black hair and brown eyes, another brunette with brown eyes, a reddish brownish haired girl with green eyes and blonde with turquoise eyes.
In other words, lots of teens in the same room.
I blinked.
"Are you just going to stand there?" the curly haired blonde girl asked.
"Nope." I turned around and left.
I looked around for my dad but when I found him, he was talking. I gave up and went to sit by the front door doodling in my sketch pad. My moms face got closer and closer to looking like her each day.
As I was doodling I was listening to music on my MP3 player. I felt my phone vibrate.
'Look up'
I looked up to see my dad. He smiled and sat down next to me as I unpluged the earphones from my ears.
"So… How'd it go?" he asked like he was my best friend, which he is.
"I was asked if I was going to continue standing at the door, then decided it wasn't worth it and left." I smiled innocently.
"Dinner! Argh, can you two try not to be antisocial?" Auntie called at us.
"Aww, Sis, you think we could actually social!" we laughed.
"Good one Auntie, thats funny." she rolled her eyes.
"Teens eat in the back room." she told me.
"Can I eat in the closet?" I tried.
"You can at least try to make friends." she sighed.
"That's not my forte." I told her.
"I'll save you after we're both done eating." my father whispered loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Alexander!" Auntie scolded.
"I tried…" he told me.
I sighed and made my way back with everyone else. I isolated myself from everyone else hoping they'd leave me alone.I plugged my earphones on and turned on my MP3 player.
On my plate was cut up chicken tenders in a salad. I scowled.
I tossed the meat to the side and messed with the salad.
Someone poked me. I unpluged my headphones and looked to see the red haired boy.
"I was dared to bother you, so I'm gonna do that." he told me with a sickly smile.
I blinked. "Here, take that while you're bothering me." I told him placing the chicken in his hands.
He tossed one back at me, there was snickers.
"If you think that bothers me, you have something coming." I told him pugging my earphones in, by now most of the teens were over here, four girls were talking and the golden haired boy was reading.
"What'cha listening to?" he pulled one out and shoved it in his ear. I turned it off quickly.
"None of your business." I told him calmly. He tossed another chicken at me.
"Are you allergic or something?" he asked tossing another.
I blinked. "No, but I'm allergic to stupid people. Achoo!" I faked a sneeze.
I stood up and tossed the chicken and the untouched salad in the garbage.
"Castiel, I guess that'll have to count since you did throw chicken at her." the dark girl with green eyes told him, "Also, she's in the game now." she said pointing at me.
"No thanks." I told her isolating myself again.
"I guess little girls don't like to play truth or dare." the redhead who I think is Castiel said.
"Too bad." the blue haired boy locked arms around me and pulled me to the table.
"Hey…!" I protested. He sat me down and the others sat down too.
"Bye." I stood up but the redhead snickered, "Wimp."
I blinked and sat down. "Wimp? Thats the best you can do?" I asked Castiel.
"Fine, truth or dare Blondie?" he asked.
"Dare, Raggedy Anne." he thought a minute.
"Hmm… I dare you…" the door creaked open.
"Still up for that rescue?" my dad's voice called.
"One sec." I tell him.
"Dare?" I ask.
"Dare you to let Rosa take you shopping." he tells me.
"Yay!" the girl with long white hair exclaimed.
"Deal, coming dad!" I call. I run out of the room. He takes me upstairs to my new room.
The walls are white and the frames are too.
"We paint tonight." he tells me as I sigh.
It took a while but, together we paint both of our rooms. His is dark blue with black frames and mine is pink with light blue frames.
"Huh…Just like mom designed your room." I smiled at his words.
"Come say goodbye!" Auntie called.
We raced down the stairs like kids.
"Bye!" We called in usion at the bottom.
"What am I going to do with you two?" Auntie asked
"Well once Eddie gets here there will be three of us, but I don't know what you're going to do with us." I told her.
"Eddie's coming too?" Auntie asked, "I thought April's side was going to take him."
"No, they couldn't. He's such a hassle." Iran back upstairs to start Eddie's room.
Eddie is my little brother. I would have mentioned him before, but I was busy. I started painting and soon dad joined too. Eddie's room was green with orange frames (he wanted it that way) we set up his bed together and put dinosaur camo bedsheets on it.
In case you're wondering, Eddie's six.
We set everything up in there for him then moved to my room. I had light blue bedsheets and butterflies painted on my white furniture, like the way mom had it since I was 13 when I remodeled with her.
Dad just set up his bed and dresser.
We then put our own clothes away and set up.
It was midnight when I went to bed.
As always, my dreams were filled of nightmares.
