RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

How many times did you looked for a pencil and it was right in front of you? How many times did you looked for a specific place and it was right in front of you? Well this is the story of the many times I didn't realized that love was right in front of me…

My name is Beca Mitchell, my parents are New York's richest family, I'm not even joking they are reeeeeeally rich. Like you know the Kardashians? Well, they could actually buy whatever that family own.

It all started with my granddad, he and his best friend decided to start an marketing company and money just started to flow in…My dad then took over the company and now he is helped by my older brother Brian.

I, on the other hand, have no idea what to do with my life.

So here I am, in the kitchen of my parents mansion, eating ice cream and trying to understand when life got so confusing with the women that I grow up with, my mum and my nana.

Ashlyn Beale is a 45 year old woman that started working with us when I was only 2 years old, she was only 21 years old but needed a job.

When she was 17, Ashlyn met this guy at her school, he just got transferred and seemed to be really interested in her, they started dating and apparently were really happy, but one day she found out that she was pregnant and things got ugly. The guy ran as fast as he could and never looked back, her parents disowned her since she wanted to keep the kid and soon she was on her own. She stayed at a friend's house until she saw in a journal my parents job offer. She didn't hesitate.

My parents loved her since the moment she put a foot in our house. My mum is the most sweetest human being and when Ashlyn told them her story she didn't even hesitate and hired her and even offered a room for her and her baby so she could stay with us. And that's how I met my former best friend, Chloe.

Chloe is Ashlyn's daughter. The most adorable, bubbly and positive redhead that planet earth has ever had. And I'm not saying that because she is my best friend but because every person that meets her is forever changed. She's kind, sweet and is always smiling. Like all the time. I'm pretty sure my parents love her more than they love me, but I can't really blame them.

Things between me and Chloe were good up until Middle School when puberty hit Chloe, boys started to be more and more interested in her, and we would spend less and less time together. Things changed completely when she found herself a new best friend, Aubrey Posen. In high school they were the most popular girls and of course dated the most popular guys.

She then went to college, same college as Aubrey of course, and in those four years we only would see each other for the festivities when we both would be at home.

Don't get me wrong we are still friends, but not as close as we used to be as kids.

So here I am, in the kitchen, looking at my mum and nana baking Chloe a welcome home/congratulation on your graduation cake.

"You guys know that she wiil be here in no time and your still baking that cake right?" I say to them smirking.

"You could help miss sassy pants" my nana faking a glare at me.

"You are the ones obsessed with her not me."

"I am offended Becs, I thought we had a bond" I turn around and there she was, in all her glory, the one and only Chloe Beale.

"You wish Beale!" we share smiles before our screaming mom's go over her and basically kidnap her.
