I was sitting down on the Couch In the Living Room with my arms crossed over my Chest and a scowl plastered upon my face, "Hunter" My Father sighed, "She had not spoken to me or you, In about one year! Why do we suddenly exist to her, now?!" I asked.
My Father's Light Blue eyes Flickered over
To me, "She misses you and me" he told me,
I shot up to my feet, "Bullshit!" My Father's
Expression became stern at my Curse.
"Language!" He told me, "I'm not going!"
"You are fifteen years old, I don't want to leave you here by yourself, You don't have a
Job and no money, You don't know how to cook" he told me, I clenched my Jaw. I knew
That he was right, but that didn't mean that
I had to Like It. "Fine!" I said as my Light Brown eyes briefly flickered to a Wolf-ish gold color before returning to normal. It did not
Take me Long, to pack my clothes. I didn't plan on staying In California for to Long
At most, I'd planned on staying for about one week. In the Car, I flicked my eyes over to My Father. He had short Light brown hair, Like
I do. He stood about Five-Foot-Ten, his shoulders were wide apart. His nose had been Medium Length, straight as a arrow
His build was Thin. His skin was White and
He had Just turned forty-five around two days Prior to us driving to California,
He wore a Light Blue T-shirt and Light Blue
Jeans. His Jaw was Chiseled, "She didn't even tell you happy Birthday, Two days ago" I mumbled, he sighed as he replied, "I won't lie to you, Buddy...It did hurt, But maybe she's busy" I clenched my Jaw, two days before
My Father's Birthday, was my Birthday
I had not been expecting some kind of party
But I was Expecting Jordan to tell me happy Birthday...But she didn't and that Fucking
Hurt, and I got to thinking that Maybe Dad was right and she truly was busy...But I was
Busy at one point with my Werewolf Job, so to speak and I made time for her and Dad
'Were me and Dad not Important enough, For you?' I thought to myself, We arrived at the
Vega house. I can smell Jordan Inside,
"I can't believe that she changed her first name to Tori and her Last name to Vega"
I made sure that the disgust was Evident In
My tone, I disliked the last Name Vega...and
I was not sure why. Dad sighed as he got out
Of the car first, I followed shortly after. Dad knocked on the front door, after a few minutes
The front swung open, Revealing Jordan.
She had Medium Length Light blonde hair
And Light Blue eyes, she stood about Five-Foot-six, she was thin. Her Shoulders Were
Closer together, she had Fair White Skin
She had been around sixteen years old
She wore a short-Sleeved Black T-shirt and
Bright Pink Jeans, Her nose was Medium
Length, as straight as a arrow. "You guys are finally here!" Jordan Squealed, she wrapped
Her arms around Dad's Neck to pull him In
For a Hug. Her eyes were zeroed In on me
Over Dad's shoulder, But I refused to meet
Her eyes. "Hunter" I heard Jordan say my name, I Hesitatedly flickered my eyes to hers
Her eyes held a Mixture of hurt and Apology
I had to fight down the feeling of Guilt, she had no reason to feel hurt....I tried to reach
Out as did Dad, only to receive no response
If anyone deserves to feel hurt, It'd be me and Dad. As for the apology look In her eyes, she must have been trying to convey about how
Sorry she was...It had been possible that
She truly was busy, But At the time...I was
To hurt to think Logically. Jordan's eyes Flickered down to the ground as she stepped aside to let me and Dad In, I avoided Dad's eyes. I knew that his eyes were holding disappointment In them, That's something
That me nor Jordan had ever wanted to see
I whistled, Impressed. "Nice Place" I said,
Jordan nodded In agreement, I Sat down On
The couch In the Living Room. Dad sat right beside me, Jordan Sat on the other side of
Dad. "Why did You change your name to Tori?" I asked, My Tone contained nothing but Curiosity. "Because...I wanted a fresh start" Jordan murmured, "a Fresh start? Away from me and Dad?" I asked, I Attempted to keep the hurt that I was feeling
Out of my tone, I Must have failed because
Jordan Winced. "I'm so sorry that I never told you or Dad Happy Birthday! I Just got So Busy..." Jordan whispered, "On those specific days?" I asked, "I don't make the schedules" Jordan whispered, "So! How's this...what was that school called again?
Hollywood arts?" Dad asked Jordan,
Jordan's eyes seemed to Light up. "Yes! It's Amazing! I made so many new friends there!"
Dad chuckled as Jordan giggled. Jordan's
Cellphone dinged In her right Pocket, once she got her cellphone out of her right pocket
I watched as her expression Darken. "Is something wrong?" Dad asked, before I could. Jordan showed a picture to Dad, and
Because I was sitting right beside him, I could see It to. A young woman with Medium Length Black hair with Light Green Tips on the end, and Hazel eyes had a Busted Upper
Lip, a purple Bruise was on The Young woman's Right cheek, It was In the midst of
Forming a fist. Her left eye was black. My Heart Clenched at the sight, "Who Is that?"
Jordan's eyes Flickered over to me, "One of my friends, Her Name's Jade" She replied.
"Do You know about who could have done that to her?" I asked, "I know the person, Who DID It, Her Current Boyfriend, Kyle Reid" Jordan told me, I eyed the Picture
A while longer before I Looked away. Jordan's expression became one of Confusion at my Reaction, her eyes Met Dad's but he simply shrugged. Jordan's cellphone dinged once again, "Jade's on her way" Jordan announced. I tensed, 'What's wrong with me?' I thought to myself, I had
To force myself to relax. a soft, Feminine Knock sounded On the front door. "Oh! She's here! That was fast! She must have already been In the Neighborhood" Jordan said with a slight giggle, Jordan had stood up from the
Couch and walked over to the front door
"Beck! Jade was with you?" I heard Jordan ask, "Yeah, She called me crying, saying that Kyle had beaten her up...again" I had Clenched my Jaw at Hearing that, 'Again? So, The Picture that Jade sent Jordan wasn't the first time that she was Beat?' I thought to myself, "Oh! I didn't know that you had company, Tori!" A soft, Angelic Feminine
Voice said, "It must have slipped my mind"
Dad stood up to greet them first, I remained
Sitting. My Heart felt as though It was about to burst out of my chest with how fast, It was Beating. I could feel a pair of eyes on me, 'I guess that It's my Turn to introduce myself'
I stood up from the couch, I slowly turned around. Jade had stood about Five-Foot-six
She had the build of a Athlete, she wore a short-Sleeved Black Tank-top, she wore a
Medium Length Black Skirt. She had fair White skin, she had been around Sixteen
Years old, her nose was small and as straight as a Arrow. Her shoulders were wide,
Her hips were narrowed, she had Fair White Skin. She had been the most Beautiful woman that I've ever seen, I walked over to the woman and The man who was standing beside her. I held out my right hand as I said, "I'm Hunter Sands, It's Nice to meet you"
Her eyes never left mine as she shook my
Right hand with her own, "And I'm Jade West, It's Nice to meet you to"
