Chapter 1

I pull up to my Moms house blasting the song F**k from the speakers of my car.

"Ugh better get this over with huh?" i ask my big lab Ollie, he kinda grunted and laid down. I laugh and turn off my car. I get out of the car and Ollie follows. I see my sister, Hannah, sitting on the swing texted on her new Iphone 4.

"What the hell were you listening too?" She practically yelled at me.

"Fuck" i answer and walk into the house.

Ollie growls at Hannah and runs to back by my side. We walk into the house and my Mother smothers me with a huge hug. I roll my eyes, smile and hug her back. I break the hug and walk to the living room.

"How've you been mom?" i ask her and take a seat. She sits down also.

"im good! Hows was your 17th birthday?" She asks me excitedly. I laugh.

"Like any other birthday." I answer as i pat the couch for Ollie to jump up. He gets up and lays down with his head on my leg. I pet him and look at my mom.

"Oh! I i guess i should ask how your dad is" She says sarcastically as she pats Ollie's head. I can tell he doesn't like it but i don't say anything.

"He's good" i say. I was sure i wasn't going to tell her how he was out of town again with a band.

"So tell me, is he able to pay the rent with his stupid music producer job?" She asks, i can tell she's still mad that he cheated on her 3 years ago. I roll my eyes.

"Yes mother, we have lots of money" I answer back and look out the window. i see my brother pull up to the house. I gasp and run to the door too see him. I jump on him and hug him hard.

"Carter! I missed you!" i yell to him as i hang on his neck. i let go and drop to the floor.

"Hey Nikki. How are you?" He asks as he smiles to me.

"I've been good, Hows collage treating you?" I ask with a smile.

"Its been pretty good" Carter answered and we walked into the house. As we passed Hannah she grinned at Carder and walked to her room. Mom hugged him for longer then needed.

The hole day we pretty boring if you ask me. We talked about stuff for awhile, went to eat, then got back to the house and me and Carter said our good byes to mom and each other and made our way back home. I pulled out my phone and dialed my dads number.

"Hey sup baby?" my dad said as he answered the phone.

"Nothing, im just on my way home from mom's." I say and i turn up the volume on my radio a little.

"Sucked didn't it?" He asked laughing. I could hear some voices in the background so i knew he was still with the band he's been working with.

"Yes it did, but i saw Carter so thats good" I answer as i turned onto the highway. I hear him laugh at something someone with him say.

"Oh hunny, I hope you don't mind but i showed the guys your picture and they want you to go to there 'almost a rap' party for there new album tomorrow " I can hear voices talking bout the party. I roll my eyes and turned off the highway.

"Dad really? You really want me to go to a party with a bunch of guys that probably just wanna hook up?" I laugh "You really need to start being a protective father." I add and smile

"BLAH! You know i think thats stupid! Make you own mistakes, do your own things. I just am your father not your Jail Ward" He laughs loud and i join him.

I whisper to him "Thats why i live with you and not mom" I laugh more and pull onto my street

"So you'll go?" He asks eager to know

"Yeah sure dad ill go" I smile "By the way dad im home" I say as i pull into my drive way

"yeah me too" He says and the line goes dead.
