A/N Guys here is the re-written chapter 1...Hope it's good :) R&R
WARNING: RATED T FOR SWEARING AND ABUSE.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own VICtoriOUS, blah,blah,blah :P
This story is about two talented teenagers with the brightest of futures, but it seems that fate thought differently. Their names are Elliana Reed and Logan Hunter. They're actually best friends and have been since they were born. Well, they were best friends until the accident. No, no, no. They didn't have amnesia or anything, they just eventually forgot about each other after they went their own ways. That accident still haunts Elliana's dreams, waking her up with screams and cries in the darkness alone. But to make her life even worse, her dad is abusing her everyday. She tried to fight back, unfortunately for her, she can't compete with him.
Elliana's POV
Me and Logan were chasing Isabelle around her house, It was Bella's 5th birthday and she held a party that me and Logan were both invited to. We were the last ones there because we were all best friends forever! Oh no! Logan's it, he's surely going to try to catch me-I was right!
"Aaaahhh!" I screamed as I ran to the couch and jumped over it to get to the corner of the room. Unfortunately Logan got there before me and was backing me up to the wall. I looked around trying to find Bella, but she was no where to be found. Uggghhh! She must have hid, leaving me alone.
"Come On Ellie...I don't bite." Logan said with a evil grin as he slowly walked towards me making me take a step back every time he got closer.
"Logan this is not fair!" I whined as he got closer
"Why do you always try to catch me?" I asked as I put my hands on my hips stubbornly.
"Because you are very slow." explained Logan with a smug grin on his face once he finally had me cornered.
"Am not!" I argued back
"Are to." Logan replied as he leaned towards my face and tapped my nose "You're it." he whispered with a smirk.
Just as I was going to say something, Bella's mom came in and said we had to go to the hospital because it was an emergency.
She dropped us off at the hospital and I saw my aunt was there. Me and Logan ran to her in excitement but as soon as I saw her face I stopped. She had tears streaming down her face and she pulled us into a hug the second she noticed us.
"Aunt Laura?" I asked my aunt, me and Logan shared a glance, both worried and confused on what had caused aunt Laura to cry.
She looked up and stared at both of us for a while and the words she spoke next made our lives tumble down.
"Your parents got in a accident and your mom … " She took a deep breath before continuing.
"Your mom didn't make it." Her voice cracked at the end and she started to weep again. She carried on speaking but I had zoned out at this point.
Those words 'Your mom didn't make it' kept echoing in my head...
'Your mom didn't make it'
No ..
'Your mom didn't ...'
No!
'Your mom...'
NO!
"NOO!" I screamed as I woke up. Great! It's my sixteenth birthday and to start the special day, I wake up with a nightmare. I reached up to my face and wiped away the sweat before running my fingers through my brown and blue, straight hair. I rubbed my face again and swung my legs over my bed and stumbled to the bathroom. At least I could look forward to Isabelle's surprise for me. Isabelle, who I call Bella, is my best friend and has been since we were 5 years old. She said it would be the best birthday of my life, and I sure hope so because my life is messed up. I might be considered pretty and am a straight A+ student and people may say me and Bella are perfect, but I assure you I'm no where near perfect. Isabelle's perfect but I'm not, not even close. Over the years I've changed and when I say changed, I mean my entire personality, the way I walk, the clothes I wear, the way I talk, how I act. Everything.
After brushing my teeth, I stripped myself of my pajama and hopped into the hot water to take a relaxing shower. It helped me forget about my fucking messed up life and take me to a world where I had perfect parents, perfect friends and a perfect life. It's my 16th birthday, no more negative thoughts. I got out of the shower, since it wasn't relaxing anymore, and wrapped myself in a towel before walking back into my bedroom. After drying myself and putting on my underwear, I opened up my wardrobe and slipped on some black lace leggings with denim shorts, and my black tie front crop top, then walked over to the mirror to check if I looked okay. I smiled and put my heart locket on, it was the last thing I had from my mum, some gold and black bangles, a black ring and a pair of black angel wing earrings. I then checked the time and saw I had 15 minutes until Bella would arrive to pick me up. I quickly put on a bit of makeup and grabbed my black leather studded bag, put my blackberry with my blue penguin case in my bag. I threw in some money and a pack of gum. Luckily I had just got downstairs when the doorbell rang.
"Coming" I shouted as I jogged to the door, to find Bella casually leaning against the door frame.
"Hey Ellie" Greeted Isabelle as she walked into the house and hugged me.
"Hey Bella" I said, hugging her back. Her brown hair with her pink streak went well with her black combat boots, pink lace leggings, and black high waist shorts, hot pink tank top and black studded biker jacket.
"So you ready to go?" Asked Bella as she jingled her car keys in her hand.
"Yep! Let me just put my boots on and grab my jacket." I replied as I went to the closet to grab my jacket and boots.
"OK! I'll be waiting in the car!" Hollered Isabelle as she shut the door behind her.
I took my black studded leather biker gilet out of the closet and put it on, then slid my feet into my knee high black studded combat boots. I grabbed my bag and walked to Bella's car after locking the door before leaving.
"So where are we going?" I asked as I slid into the passenger seat
"That, my dear, is a secret" Answered Isabelle as she tapped my nose as if she was talking to a child.
"Ohh..pleaseeee" I whined with my puppy dog eyes, knowing that she can't say no to them.
"No! Not the puppy dog eyes! Come on Bella, stay together, don't give into the eyes! Remember they're evil!" Bella pep talked herself, trying to keep her eye's on the road and not on my "evil" eyes.
"Bella...Bella?...Isabelle! OK, I get it, Fine! Don't tell me, but please talk to me!" I pleaded with a frown as I put my hand on her shoulder and gently shook her.
"Fine, I'm talking! Happy?" Asked Isabelle as she smiled.
"Yes!" I answered back as I took my hand off her shoulder. She took a left turn into the Ice Palace, the skating rink. Yes! I love skating!
"Really?" I questioned Bella as my mouth turned into a bright smile.
"Really," She answered as she copied my earlier actions.
"Aaaahhh!" I squealed before I put my hand on my mouth and turned to Bella with wide eyes, who was smirking.
"Ugghh! Thanks to you...I'm...turning into, into, you!" I said as I pointed and mock glared at Bella as she parked the car in the parking lot.
"Yeah, Yeah! But don't forget that you actually like me" Said Bella as she pointed at me when she said "you". We both took off our seat belts and Isabelle opened her door.
"Now come on! Let's go!" She said as she grabbed her bag and got out of the car first with me following after her. As soon as Bella locked the car, she grabbed my hand and dragged me into the Ice rink.
"Bye!"I waved back to Bella and opened the front door to the house as my dad came strolling down the stairs with the biggest smile I think I've ever seen.
"Hello love bug." My dad greeted as he hugged me. 'Love bug?' He hasn't called me that since I was around eight I think.
"Hi dad," I said back as I hesitantly hugged him back.
"Guess what!" My dad said with a bright smile and his eyes' sparkling with excitement.
"What?" I asked with an equally bright smile and my eyes' wide, boring into his.
"Come on you have to guess!" My dad said mockingly with a lopsided grin
"Dad!" I whined with a pout.
"Okay, okay! I got a promotion!" Shouted my dad and I started to squeal.
"And..." He paused for a dramatic effect, I was about to lose my patience until he continued.
"We're moving to California!" He said, making me squeal even more.
"And I know you're going to be a bit upset because you have to leave Isabelle here..." My dad trailed off as went to sit on the couch.
"Yeah?..." I asked confused
"So... I talked to Bella's parents and they agreed to let her come with us!" As soon as I heard those words, I start to scream and jumped onto my dad hugging him tightly and he hugged me back tightly too.
"I love you dad! You're the best!" I screamed with the biggest smile I could make. I was sure in the morning my cheeks would hurt, but right now that didn't matter. All that mattered was that my dad, who normally would abuse me, has a heart and does actually care about me.
" I know, I know...now can you please go upstairs and start to pack, because we're leaving tomorrow afternoon" My dad said as we both got up and headed towards the stairs.
"Okay!" I shouted as I ran up the stairs and into my room.
I pulled open my wardrobe and started throwing all my clothes into my already open suitcase that I took out from under my bed. After packing up all my clothes in my large, blue suitcase, I walked into my bathroom and opened the cabinets and literally threw everything into my mini duffel bag, also putting my jewellery and other stuff in. I grabbed my other duffel bag, which was bigger, and put all my pictures, books, posters, songs, and anything else that was left.
When all my stuff was packed, I plopped face down onto my bed, when my laptop started beeping, signaling someone was trying to video chat me. I got up and bought my laptop to my lap, as I leaned my back against the wall. I checked who it was, and found out it was Isabelle so I clicked accept.I waved and said "Hi" as Bella's face popped onto my screen.
"Hey! I guess your dad told you about California!" She said with a bright smile and her voice filled with excitement.
"Yup! I can't believe we're moving to California! And...My best friend gets to come with me!" We both squealed as we jumped up down on our beds and laughed.
"Yeah! Hey, we should get to sleep, if we want to make it on time for the flight" Said Bella as I nodded in agreement.
"Okay, ye!" I waved at Isabelle and she waved back.
"Bye." he said back and then she was gone. I shut my laptop and put it aside on my drawer and got under the covers to sleep. I was excited, but I was also sad because tomorrow would be my last day here, and then I was starting my life over in California with my dad and Isabelle.
"Isabelle! Over here!" I shouted, trying to get her attention.
We were at the Airport right now. In the morning, me and my dad had woken up early and made sure we had everything, and didn't leave anything behind. So we got a taxi, put all our stuff in and then we were off to the airport. We were waiting for Bella to come, she was going to come with us but she wanted to spend time with her mom before we left. She had just arrived and walked over when she saw me waving my hand frantically while jumping up and down.
"Hey!" Greeted Isabelle as she hugged me.
"Hi! Got everything?" I asked as I hugged her back.
"Yup" She answered with a bright smile as she moved out the way for me to see her luggage.
"OK! So let's GO!" I said as I grabbed her hand and we both walked over to my dad, who was waiting for us.
"Hello Mr. Reed" Bella greeted my dad and hugged him.
"Hello Isabelle" My dad replied as he hugged her back.
I picked up my luggage and followed my dad, with Bella on my right side. We gave our tickets and our luggage was sent away to the cargo plane. Before we knew it, we were on the plane, Oh God! I can't believe this! We were moving to California and the best part was Isabelle was coming too!
My thoughts were interrupted by the pilot telling all the passengers to wear their seat belts because we were about to take off. After putting our seat belts on, Bella said she was gonna take a nap. My dad was in front of us, watching some video on his iPad. I sighed and took out my sketch pad and pencil, I then started to sketch a drawing of a girl with fangs and blue glowing eyes. Ugghh! This is sooo boring! I put my things back and took out a random book and started to read it. I quickly looked around, Bella was still fast asleep and my dad was eating. Me and Isabelle already ate before. I then turned my attention back to my book. My eyes were getting heavier and before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep.
"Bye!" I shouted at Isabelle as she said "bye" back and waved.
We had just dropped of Bella at her aunt's house after arriving in California, her mom told her to stay there because of some family business. Me and my dad were on our way to our new house. I can't wait to see it! Dad said I would love it! If my dad's bought it then I'm not really sure. You see my dad and me don't have a good relationship...meaning he hurts me when he get's angry-BUT! in his defense, he's usually drunk and after his hangovers, he doesn't even remember. Only Isabelle knows about this, no one else. When I get beaten up really bad, she comes over and puts makeup on me to cover it up. She really is the best friend anyone could ever have.
"We're here" Said my dad.
"Huh?" I asked confused as I looked up from my hands, which were resting on my lap.
"I said we're here" Repeated my dad with a big smile.
I looked out my window and saw we were actually parked in front of a bog, beautiful house (A/N BTW It's the same house in Victorious) It looked great from the outside, maybe my dad proved me wrong after all. My dad smiled as he opened the trunk of the car, we had rented one for now, and I grabbed my bags before we both started walking to the front door. He took the key out of his pocket and opened the door. I followed after him and looked around-WOW! It's not only great from the outside but it's even better from the inside! It has this nice, cozy feeling to it.
"Woah! This house is huge dad! Is this really our new house?" I asked as I put my bags down and looked around, amazed.
"Yup" My dad said and popped his 'p'. "So do you like it?" He asked.
"Like it? I love It!" I squealed.
"Well I'm glad you like it" My dad said as he picked up his bags and started walking towards the stairs. "Now come on, I'll show you your room"
"Okay!" I replied as I picked up my own bags and followed my dad up the stairs.
The first door was my dad's bedroom, It was the master bedroom, so it was the biggest. The next door was the bathroom and the last door was my bedroom. Downstairs there was another bathroom and one guest bedroom. My dad walked into his bedroom to unpack and I went into mine to unpack as well. I opened the door and all I could think is; wow! (A/N The bedroom in my story is the same as the bedroom in the 'All I Want Is Everything By Victoria Justice' music video) I plopped my bags onto my bed and opened up my closet. I unzipped my bag and started taking out my clothes.
"Okay honey, I'll see you in a bit" Said my dad as he walked out of the house.
"Bye!" I replied with a wave as I plopped down onto my orange couch.
He was going to his new office, apparently his boss wanted to talk to him about something. So here I was home alone, me and dad already had dinner so now I was flipping through channels to find something interesting to watch.
"Hhhmmm...what to watch, what to watch?" I asked myself with my eyes glued to the T.V.
There was nothing good on at the moment so I got up and put on some comedy movie before plopping back down on the couch. Half way through the movie, the bell rang. I got up slowly and my cheeks hurt since I was laughing so much. On the way to the door I quickly checked the time and saw it was 7:38pm, I opened the door to find a girl with her back towards me, she had long wavy brown hair and was wearing jeans with a black top.
"Umm...Hello?" I asked with a polite smile.
"Hi!" said the girl as she turned around, and my jaw dropped at the sight of my cousin, Daniella.
"What the-? Daniella! It's great to see you and all but what are you doing here?" I asked as we hugged quickly and I stepped aside to let her in.
"It's great to see you too and I live next door" She replied as she sat down on the couch and I sat next to her.
"That's great! Me, my best friend and my cousin, all together!" I said as I side hugged her.
"What? Isabelle's here too? She asked with confusion and excitement at the same time.
"Yup, but she has to stay at her aunt's." I said, a bit disappointed because I couldn't hang out with my best friend.
"Don't worry Ellie. You have me." She said with a smile
"I know," I said, smiling back.
"Anyway, I came to say hi and to tell you about school," Said Daniella as she turned to face me.
"Okay" I said, skeptically.
"Okay so don't freak out or anything but...school starts tomorrow!" She said as she hid her face, thinking I would hit her.
My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. I'm sure if they had been even a little bit wider, they would have fallen out.
"What?!" I shouted as I got up and started to pace around. "No,no,no,no,no,no,NO!" I repeated as if it was a chant. Daniella stood up and stopped me by putting her hands on my shoulders.
"Elliana calm down...I'm gonna help you through it, okay. Just go to sleep and I've already packed all the things you're going to need for tomorrow" She reassured me and handed me the bag, then hugged me reassuringly.
"Okay, I trust you and thank you so much." I said as I hugged her back. All I knew was that I was ready for school. As long as I have Daniella by my side, I'll be just fine.
