Chapter 2. –Little of each other

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take little of each other everywhere.

Liza's POV

I quickly looked at my watch as I walked to my car. Past twelve o'clock. And it was at least going to take me another half hour to get home. Pour Jade. She had assured me she didn't mind staying home alone, but I still didn't like it to leave her alone so late at night. Even if she was 17. She would always be my baby.

She hated it when I said that tough. I grinned as I thought of her. She was so different from me. And not only our looks. With her being such a dark-head, and me being a blondie, people where always surprised to hear she was my daughter.

But especially our personalities were so different. She was so brave, ready to fight the world. She was scary even, too some people. Why, I was afraid of my own shadow!

But not my Jade. She wasn't afraid of anything. Well, that is almost anything. Of course there was one exception. Dear God, I hated that man. Not because of everything he had done to me. But because he had hurt my daughter. Still hurts her. Every day of her life.

And for that, I would never forgive him.

…

"Honey, I'm home!" I yelled after I closed the door. No answer. Would she be asleep yet? Could be, it was almost one AM. I didn't have to worry about waking her tough. She would sleep through anything.

I walked up the stairs to her room, and carefully opened the door. It was dark in there, but I was pretty sure her bed was empty. I lifted the blankets, and I was right. No one. I went downstairs again, to check if she didn't fell asleep on the couch. But there was no one in the living room either.

I was beginning to worry a little bit. She wouldn't have left without leaving me a note, would she? I looked all over, but there didn't appear to be any message. I would call her. No worries. Nothing to worry about.

Beep… Beep… Beep… "C'mon Jade, answer the phone." I mumbled as tough she could hear me. "This is the voicemail of Jade West. Please leave a message…" I tried again. Again. "Jade honey, where are you?"

Beck. She would be at Beck's place. She got lonely, and went there. Simple as that. I just had to call Beck. It didn't even cross my mind that it was the middle of the night when I entered his number.
