AN: I own this not...
- Also I want to make it known that this fic. will contain swearing. So if you're uncomfortable with that, then maybe this isn't the most appropriate thing for you to read. Anyways, happy reading :)
PROLOGUE:
"Are you kidding me?" I wasn't having this. No fucking way in hell was I going to waste a good chunk of my summer with Jeb. Not without a good reason, and even then I wouldn't make this easy.
Does my mother honestly think she could just randomly tell me that she was practically dumping me at my good-for-nothing fathers feet, and I'd be okay with it? I don't even know the guy! And to think this is all because of the minor fact that I'm the product of two rebellious teens...Yeah, I'm a lovechild, and yes, I'm frowned upon. At least by my mothers side of the family anyways. It's totally unfair.
"Max, don't be so difficult-"
"What else would you expect from me when I'm greeted at home with this? Did you seriously believe that I would be okay with this?" I was referring to the duffel bags that sat neatly by the front door. The bags that were all set and ready for the Martinez family reunion. The one I wasn't allowed to attend myself. Remember? I'm an illegitimate child. How special.
"Dammit, mom! Why can't you just send me off to some camp like every other year?" This wasn't even a whine, I really was confused why these plans had changed. I mean why the fuck would I need to go to Jeb's? Not once has it ever been mentioned, so why now?
"Maxine Ride! Language! You're going and that's final. You have a half brother that would like to meet you, along with three other cousins as well." She seethed, trying to look threatening.
I'll be the first to admit that my mother had a mean glare, but never the less I stood my ground and shot her a look in response. Her nostrils flared as she sucked in a breath. It was just me and mom in that moment. Not even the stomps that Ella emitted from her room could deter our little stare down. I stuck my chin up defiantly when she began to grow angrier at the lack of my abandon.
"Make me."
AN: So I realize that it's short, but hey it's not even a real chapter. And just to clear things up, I'm going to try to keep most major characters in the story. Ari is going to be Max's half bro (of course), and I'm making Iggy, Angel, and Gazzy siblings. They will be introduced as Max's cousins. As for the rest? Yeah, you'll find out.
