The beginning
“But mom! I don’t want to leave! Please just let me stay!” I begged my mother.
“No Olivia and that’s final! You will go to your great aunts house for the summer!” My mother said sternly.
I sighs before walking the stairs to my room but it felt like the walk of shame and defeat. I’ve been trying to convince my mom I wasn’t that bad of a kid.. I had made good grades during school, swam on the school team and cheered for the off season, I even tutored the girl down the street! But it didn’t change her mind.
As I reach my room I continue packing clothes into my baby blue suitcase. I go to my closet to grab another handful of clothing to pack away. I look at my favorite sundress and go to the mirror and hold it up to my slender figure. I’ve always loved this dress and it shows off all of my assets. It’s white with baby blue flowers, comes up just to above my knees and has a semi open back. I’ve felt this dress has always complimented my mostly tan complexion and dark brown hair. My eyes are what complete my most common look, having bright emerald green eyes.
I sigh and turn to pack the dress away and zip up my suitcase when there is a knock on the window. I turn to look and smile as my best friend Zeke has climbed up yet again. I’ve never known how he has done it and he keeps saying he never will tell me.
I quickly close and lock my bedroom door while turning my tv on to drown out the noise of us in my bedroom before letting Zeke in.
“About time Olive” he said before climbing in and wrapping me in a bear hug. He is the only one I allow to call me olive.
I hug him back before stepping out of his embrace. “Did you get my SOS?”
“No s**t! I don’t just climb up here for nothing you know.” He smirks at me before sitting in my chair. “Now come tell papa what’s wrong” I hated when he talked to me like a child but I went to sit on his lap anyways.
“Moms finally sending me away” I say before leaning into him. I immediately felt his strong arms around me.
“It’ll be okay. You’re the strongest girl I know, one of the prettiest too” he said with a wink.
I smile before getting up to straddle his lap. Zeke and I have this game. We won’t admit our feelings but we definitely act on them.
I lean into him and kiss him softly as I feel his hands go to hold my ass.
Then there was a sharp knock on the door.. damn just as it was getting good. I get off Zekes lap and give him the ‘I’m sorry im a tease but you should leave look’ he smiles at me before giving a quick slap to my butt before climbing out the window.
As soon as he is out of view I open the door to see mother with her arms crossed. I smile at her. “Yes?”
She glares at me “I am taking you to the airport in an hour, be ready.” I froze.. one hour? I thought I had till tomorrow.. but., an hour?
“Why are you trying to get rid of me!?” I screamed before slamming the door. This is going to be one long ass summer.
Just as she said, one hour later we were on our way to the airport. Mom couldn’t pass airport security with me so that’s where we parted ways. We didn’t hug, didn’t apologize for ruining my life, nothing. So I didn’t give her a second look. Dad was never in the picture. So it was only me and mom which made the unloving mother life so much harder.
I finally look at my ticket. One way from Pensacola Florida to Bozeman Montana. f**k. Me.
