This is Me- Chapter One
Hey guys! This is my first fanfic ever! So I hope you enjoy it! :)
I got down from my car, not quite ready of what life had in task for me. My dad and I, Piper McLean lived in California for almost all of my childhood . Then eventually things change. A lot. Well my mom, Evelyn and dad got separated when probably only months old. People told me that my dad was depressed and it took him a lot of time to adjust to the way his was life was at that moment . But eventually he had to take care of me so he come back to his normal self. And now I was going to visit my mom who I hadn't even seen once in my entire. I was not only visiting her but I was staying with her for 3 weeks in New York and had to go to school since I had to start whole new life out there! In New York! New York! Jesus ….. I have to stay with my so called "mother" for 3 weeks and then my dad would after he gets everything ready for us to stay in a new house. It would be quite hard for us to adjust in New York as was on the other side of North America. It would take about four hours for me to reach New York.
I was getting my small personal backpack out of the car. I sighed loudly thinking about the heck of a life I was going to have for the next three weeks. New school, new city and the most terrifying thing was that I was going to stay with Evelyn for a very long time. I hated since her since I got to know that she left us. My dad told me when I was eight old. I wonder if could possibly forget about us completely. As if he read my thoughts,
" It's going to be fine , Pipes . I know it's hard for you to settle in a new city just like that, but I can't help it, honey."
"Adjusting in the city is not my problem, Dad. My problem is staying with her."
"It's just three weeks. We'll get a house by then and you can stay happily with me. Well that is if I do get time to spend with you.", he said as I chuckled .
My dad was usually busy like all the time. He used to go to work at 8 'o clock in the morning and return at 9'o clock in the evening. I used to finish my homework and then cook something for us to eat. I used to cook since I was pretty young because of one incident.
One day my dad cooked us an omelet with cheese and some veggies. I was very excited and I went jumping to the dining table and said,
"Daddy! You cooked me omelet!"
"Yes, little girl. Now taste it because I might die out of nervousness.", he said letting out a nervous laugh.
I got out my favorite fork, the one with Mickey Mouse on it, and took a big piece and stuffed it into my mouth. (Yes I love food. Don't judge me) (A/N: In real life too.)
My face scrunched up in disgust. The egg hadn't cooked. It was still raw. Wait there's more coming up. It had no salt. No pepper. Even the cheese didn't have salt. I had learnt my lesson. I became an ENLIGHTED BUDDHA.
"Dad, I'm going to learn how to cook."
And since then instead of playing with friends and watching Barbie movies, I sat for days and days reading cooking books and practicing them at home. I had mastered the art of cooking. Enlighted.
We had already reached the luggage checking area. I helped my dad put my luggage in the counter and got them back as they reached the other end.
"Would it take more than three weeks for you to get things settled in New York? "
"I can't guarantee you on that, Pipes but I'll try my best. ", he said smiling at me.
"Now Pipes I want you to be safe in the plane and call me as soon as you reach there, honey. Take care. I'll call you everyday if I can. I love you. Have a safe journey, kiddo! "
I said laughing, "I love you too, Dad . Take care of yourself first. Oh, and I forget something. I left some sandwiches that I made in the morning in the refrigerator. You can have that when you go home and I also cooked some pasta and left it on the table. There's some pasta sauce in the shelf above the stove so you can cook up some pasta. If you have any doubts call me. Okay? "
"Okay. Okay. I can take care of myself, Pipes. Now go. Have a safe journey and I love you, honey. Bye.", he said laughing.
"Bye, Daddy." I hugged him tightly and give him a peck on his cheek.
He was grinning and waving at me the whole time till he couldn't see me anymore.
The flight ride was extremely boring and slow. I spent a bit of time reading some magazinesThen the plane finally landed after what felt like hours. I was in desperate need for fresh air. Well if there was any fresh air in New York. As I got down from the plane, I wanted something to eat badly . I was starving.
After what felt like hours I found a Starbucks shop and got myself some hot chocolate. That was exactly what I needed right now. While sipping my drink and carrying my luggage I sat on a bench nearby, thinking about what 3 weeks would have waiting for me . I finished my drink and went to visitors place where someone was standing and was squealing loudly and screamed , " Piperrrrr!" , enough to make everyone around look at her. I was completely shocked. I mean seriously how would you feel when someone completely out of the blue was screaming your name on top of their lungs? I'm not the one who's weird. So she was my mother. She looked a lot like me. She had the some chocolate brown hair and my green eyes. Well I was going t have a wonderful time with her . She ran to hug me. I literally thought she'd choke me. After shouted at her she left me finally and squealed again .
"Oh my god ! Look at you Piper. You're so grown up. I'm so proud of you! "
"Evelyn you haven't seen my for 18 years . Of course I've grown big." , I said faking a smile as I groaned inwardly .
"I'd like you to call me mom, Piper. I'd prefer that. ", she said rather a bit angrily.
But I didn't hesitate, "I'd call you mom if acted one. Ignoring me for 18 years doesn't seem very motherly, does it? ", smirking as I said it.
"I guess we should head home, honey. And trust me you're going love it.", she said giving her signature fake smile .
We drove down to the most crowded but amazing city and I was completely impressed. I mean who doesn't love New York? We came down a lane with a big gate saying "Luxury Homes".
But I had to agree with her this time unfortunately. This place was amazing. It had huge villas with beautiful lawns surrounding it. There was even a small plaza with loads of groceries and stuff. The house was amazing. It had a huge decorated door and as soon as I stepped in there was wonderful smell of lavender. There was a huge fancy hall with two wonderful brown leather couches. I dreamt about those nights that I'd be watching movies, popcorn in my hands, cuddling in the wonderful sofa below me . There was a glass coffee table on top of a huge floor carpet, giving it a grand appearance. A huge T.V. and a home theatre setting. Oh boy I'm gonna have fun in this place, I thought.
"Come on , darling , I'll show you your room . You're going to love it! ", she said smiling.
She took me up the stairs. There were fancy showpieces and vases all over the house. As I entered the room I gasped.
It was painted a light , aqua blue. There was a huge wallpaper with tulips on the wall right behind the bed. The spring bed was layed with delicate blue covers and a few pillows with sophisticated royal white covers . It was breath-taking.
"I knew you would love it! " , she said laughing .
"I love it , Evelyn . Thank you. I really appreciate it.", I said.
"Oh. Of course, honey. I'd do anything for you."
Yeah ignoring us for 18 years really helped, Evelyn, I thought.
If you don't mind I need to badly use the washroom. ", I said .
"Oh . Of course, honey . It's right in here.", she said laughing , pointing at a big
