CHAPTER 1

Never would I have thought that this moment would really be coming. When my mother first told me that she out of the blue would marry a man she had met a few months ago I was sure that this was just one of her phases that she would forget about soon. But now, one month later my mom and me stood in front of a huge house that looked more like a palace from a movie than a home of a normal family. We had a few huge suitcases with us that were full of clothes and our other stuff. The rest of our possessions would be coming with a big truck soon. Above the doorbell the word "WEST" was written in big letters.

Obviously this family was rich. I really hoped that this would not mean that my mother's fiancé was a snob. Before my mother used the doorbell she looked at me with one final look and said:

"So, this is it…" She seemed nervous and somehow my feelings were mutual.

Soon the door was opened by a handsome man that looked a bit older than my mother. His looks could be compared to a very stern businessman and the smile on his face somehow seemed a bit forced, like he would rather be somewhere else working and really didn't want to waste his time helping his soon-to-be wife and her daughter move in.

"This is my daughter Victoria." My mother said with a nervous undertone.

Mr. West smiled at me. "I've heard so much about you Victoria!" He said while extending his hand.

"You can call me Tori. Everybody calls me that."

"Well in that case, Tori, you of course can call me Peter." He again flashed the forced smile before leading us through the hall to a door on the left in a room that seems to be the dining room.

Following his invitation we sat down and he offered something to drink. After my mom and Peter West talked about how the ride and the packing went Mr. West asked me how I felt and if everything was good. Of course I was a bit exhausted and wasn't sure what to think of this whole thing. I now had to live with a man I had never met before in a house that was way to in my opinion in Hollywood where I had barely been before. I had left my friends and my home to make my mom happy and still thought this was the right decision, but I certainly would have to adjust to this new life.

Mr. West seemed to recognize my awkwardness and insecurity and looked like he was thinking about something he could do to make me feel better. After one or two seconds he had found something and said:

"I'm sure your mother has told you about my daughter! She is about your age, maybe she will show you the house, wait a second…"

He left the room and shouted "Jade! Jaade! JADE!"

A very sharp and unfriendly "WHAT" answered from up the stairs in the hallway.

"Come down here and say hello to your new family members. NOW!"

After a sarcasm-filled response that sounded something like "Of course, because there's nothing I'd rather do and now one I'd rather spend my time with than some stupid woman and her stupid probably ugly daughter that try to play happy family with me." steps were heard and soon a pale girl with long dark hair and purple streaks in it came into our view.

She was very beautiful and I couldn't stop myself from being impressed by her appearance. One of her Eyebrows was pierced which looked totally cool and she wore all black which made her look a bit like a bad and mean but still beautiful version of Snow White. She entered the Room and my mother and me stood up from our chairs to introduce ourselves.

The moment she entered the room her eyes darted first at my mom than at me. Her emerald green iris was cold as ice and made me shiver. She looked like she wanted to show that there was no way we would ever be able to make her like us. Nobody said a word and after a few seconds of awkward silence her father cleared his throat and said:

"Jade, this Anne and her daughter Victoria Vega… Would you be so nice to show her our house?"

The whole time Jades stared at me as if I was an alien. I felt really uncomfortable and wished she would stop staring at me and say something. After what seemed like an eternity she said:

"Can't she just do that by herself, or is she mentally retarded or something?" even though she was talking to her dad she continued looking at me with these cold eyes.

"Jade! Be nice!" finally her gaze left me and she looked at her father.

"Whatever..."she said and turned at the door.

I wasn't sure if I should follow but after some steps she turned at me again and said

„what are you waiting for? I don't have to teach you how to walk, do I?"

I looked at my mother and saw the same confusion in her eyes that I felt. Her father gave me an apologetic look and I followed the strange girl out the door thinking that I would rather have stayed with my mother, who knew what that girl would do to me when we were out of sight. We crossed the hallway and went up the stairs. Neither I nor she said a word till we reached the first door on the second floor.

„This is the bathroom. I guess you know what it is for, even though you don't look like you do."

I didn't really know how to respond so I decided to ignore the mean comment. What was her problem, she didn't even know me, why was she already being so mean? After the bathroom she showed me her father's room and something that looked like a bibliotheca. I really liked that room, full of books and some really comfy looking chairs. The next door leaded to a room with a huge bed and she introduced it as the former guest room that would from now on be mine.

After that we stopped at the last door on the second floor and for the first time since we started the little tour she turn around and looked me directly in the eye.

"This is MY room. I advise you to never enter it, otherwise I'll make your life a living hell." she said the words really calm which made them even scarier and I couldn't other than wonder if she could be any meaner than she already was.

"Any questions Vega?"

"Tori."

"What?"

"Everybody calls me Tori. I'd really prefer Tori."

„Well I ain't everybody so I'll stay with Vega till I decide different." than she opened the door to her room without looking after me one more time and left me alone in this huge house.

I returned to my mom and Mr. West who were now standing in the room behind the dining room that seemed to be the kitchen. When Mr. West saw the look on my face he said

"Don't worry about Jade. Give her some time, she will come around. This situation isn't easy for her."

I nodded. What everybody seemed to forget was that this situation wasn't easy for me neither. And this stupid beast Jade didn't make it easier at all. I really hoped that my mother was happy and it would be worth it.

The next chapters are written already, so tell me what you think and I'll upload them soon.
