Remember me, please?

Eliana's view You know that feeling when your heart is full. When you feel safe and loved. When you feel like there are actually people that care about you. That's what I always felt around my family. They were always there to support me when I needed them. Me, my Mom, and Dad. I had no siblings, I never felt like I needed one because I never felt alone just whenever I wanted to talk to someone I'll just go straight to my Dad. You know they always say that there's a special bond between every father and daughter. He is supposed to be your first friend, your first lover. The love between the father and the daughter is the purest love in the world. That's how was my father. They always say that the son is destined to learn mostly from the Dad and the daughter from the Mom, that's some bullshit right there. I spent every moment of my life with my Dad. When he fixes his car, cooks, and cleans the garden. I learned almost everything from Dad, not that my mother wasn't there, but I just had a really special relationship with him my Dad. But a tragic car accident happened just like that, within an eye blink, I lost everything. I lost my first love, my best friend... Life isn't fair, isn't it? I lost my Dad when I was 15 and to be honest, my life stopped there. Every single night I would wish to go back to that 15-year-old me when life just felt right, but you know life just moves on whether you like it or not. I was actually with my Dad in the car, but somehow I survived and he didn't. I kept asking myself why didn't God just take me with him, It's not like I can live without him anyway. But I guess he had different plans for me. I was in a short coma after the accident when I woke up I found that I had been in a coma for a whole month. They did my father's funeral without me obviously, The Doctors said that I did hit my head really bad and that I may have lost some memories. My Mom told me how "simple" was our life but I never actually forgot the memories that I had with my Dad, I could remember every memory about my Dad vividly. But somehow I still feel like something is missing. I don't know, when I try to remember I get really bad headaches that I just stopped trying to remember. We weren't a rich family but we had a really good amount of money to live a good life. "Come on Eliana wake up." I hear Mom's voice, feeling a gentle hand shake my shoulder to wake me up. "Have we arrived yet? " I asked with a sleepy voice removing the covers I had on me because somehow the plane was trying to freeze me to death. We were traveling by private jet and I don't f*****g know how and why. "Yes, we just landed," she said picking up her black purse. "Come on the driver must be waiting for us outside," She said looking out of the window. I sighed "Relax Mom," I said trying to put the small blanket in my backpack. She was in a hurry since we got out of the apartment. "Sorry honey I'm just so excited!" she said checking her watch. Yeah me too Mom. After fifteen minutes we were in some black luxury car that smelled like lavender. I looked through the window. Why the hell do they have to cover all the windows with black tint? I let out a deep sigh then I felt a warm hand touch my shoulder "Eliana everything will be okay I promise" Mom said showing a smile. I looked at her and nodded "I know Mom but you should have given us more time, all this is just overwhelming to me" I wasn't lying though. I just wasn't ready for the stepdad and stepsister thing yet. "Eliana it's been three years we must move on," she said tucking some strands of my hair behind my ear. I didn't say anything and just faced the goddamn black window again. I know you are wondering what the hell is going on, I swear me too. But let's get back to about three years ago, after my Dad passed away my Mom had to find a job to get us some money. I tried to tell her that I could work too, but she refused since I was just a "15-year-old girl" Actually I didn't find the motivation to do anything after my Dad had passed away, but I couldn't let my Mom suffer alone. My Mom is an amazing interior designer but wasn't into going to work after graduating. One day she fell in love with my Dad, they got married and she never went to work, she didn't need to actually. After my father's death, she struggled a little to find a place to work since all of them wanted someone with at least 3 years of experience, My mom obviously had ZERO experience but somehow one day she found a good opportunity to work with a big company as she told me, she also said the name of the company but I didn't bother to look about it. I was really happy for her, and I had finally convinced her to let me work too, so I worked in a small coffee shop next to where we lived, I would go to work every day after school except Fridays and Mondays. After about two years my Mom told me that she wanted to talk with me about something "important" She said that she met this Man who was the company's boss and that they confessed how they felt about each other. To be honest, I was surprised how quickly she had moved on, but who am I to stop her, like if she's happy then you go girl. I told her that I was totally fine with that as long as she was happy, but then after five months, she told me that he asked her to marry him and that was like a really big surprise actually, because I wasn't ready for someone to take my Dad's place even though no one could. I just couldn't say anything to that so they got engaged and they decided to marry each other after three months. By now they have only three weeks. So I really didn't have a choice to say no, it was just a little...fast? Mom told me he has a daughter who may be 3 or 4 years older than me. She told me her name but I forgot it. I can't help it, I'm just not good at remembering names. I'll just ask Mom before I meet her. Anyway, now we are moving to their house, which is maybe across the city but like DO WE HAVE TO GO BY A f*****g PRIVATE JET?! My thoughts were cut off by the car being stopped in front of a silver gate that has the letter A in the middle. Moments later that gate was opened. Oh My God "Mom that's a f*****g mansion!" I breathed out looking out the window with an open mouth. "Eliana please watch your mouth" Wow, Mom was that the only thing that caught your attention?! I turned my head to face her, and to my surprise, she didn't pay any reaction she just set there resting her back on the leather backseat. Why is she not amazed by something?! "Mom, did you know that they had a MANSION?" "Kind of," She said checking her phone. Kind of?! wtf-- Suddenly the car took a turn around a big tiered water fountain and then stopped. The driver went out of the car and opened the door for me and Mom. I stood there observing the place. I still can't believe my eyes, ARE WE GOING TO LIVE HERE? "Eliana please close your mouth" I heard my mom saying and then she placed her phone in her purse. I closed my mouth which I didn't realize was open. That's when I heard manly laughter behind me. "Jack!" Mom said while giving him a hug. "Welcome home honey," He said hugging Mom back. Oh okay, it's him. I grinned a little bit which I don't usually do but just to be polite. "And you must be Eliana," he said taking a few steps toward me. I gave him my hand to shake his but instead, he pulled me into a hug. Oh okay. "Nice to finally meet you, sweetie," he said pulling back from the hug. "uh..nice to meet you too J-Jack" I stuttered. wow, a great way to introduce yourself, Eliana, bravo. "You know Eliana your Mom always talks about you," Jack said wrapping his hand around Mom's waist. Ew "In a good way I hope," I said eyeing my Mom, she just giggled and looked up at Jack. He chuckled a bit "Yes don't worry" he waved his hand "I know it's the first time we meet, but don't worry sweetie we are going to be best friends" He said giving me a small smile "That's for sure!" Mom said enthusiastically. He seems like a good Man. He is maybe 6ft tall, with light blue eyes I can see some white stands in his beard and hair, he also has some wrinkles around his eyes and around his mouth means that he smiles a lot I give him like around 50 to 55. "Where's Adira?" Mom asked looking around. Wait, who? "Oh, she couldn't make it here today because she has some meetings, but she will definitely be here by tomorrow morning" He looked at his hand watch and then back to Mom smiling "Eliana you must meet her she is really a beautiful woman" She smiled placing her hand on my shoulder. Jack nodded agreeing with Mom "I'm sure you guys are going to be inseparable sisters" he said. Oh, the stepsister. she has a really pretty name though. If she is not nice, I just want her to leave me alone then. I really can't handle the bad stepsister thing, it seems like the Dad is nice. Let's pray for the daughter to be at least the same. "C'mon guys let's head inside you seem really tired from the trip, "Jack said pulling my Mom away with him. Not me getting third-wheeled by a 40ish and 50ish. We headed inside the big mansion, as much as it looks really amazing from the outside it also looks modern from the inside, and let me tell you this place is HUGE. The living room itself was the size of our whole apartment. Well, now the thing that I did know about these people is that they are rich rich. What do they do for a living? my broke ass COULD NEVER. Drugs? Not-- wait... Mafia?!! Wait-- Well, They have 3 companies in this city itself. I facepalmed myself mentally for how stupid I'm. We stood in the living room and a middle-aged woman approached us with a big smile on her face, she was wearing a black and white dress. "Okay, Eliana this is Hazel she will show you the way to your room," He said pointing at her. "C'mon honey let me show you around" with that Jack took my Mom's hand and walked away. Oh okay. "let's go, ma'am," said Hazel Oh hell nah. "Please call me Eliana" I smiled at her taking my bags off the ground. She giggled a little then her facial expressions changed real fast "Oh please let me-" she said trying to take the bags from my hand. I shook my head "It's okay, I can help you, " She smiled, taking the other bag from the ground. "This way Miss" She gestured with her hand for me to walk. She showed me the way, and man the more I walk in this place the bigger it gets, I'm sure I'll lose the way to my room once I get out of it. "This is it Miss," Hazel said opening the door. Wow "T-This is my room?" I asked Hazel pointing to myself "Yes Miss" Hazel said giggling, she probably laughing about how stupid I was but- "Look at that bed!!" I said then I threw my backpack on the ground and jumped on the fluffy bed. "Amazing sleep nights here I come," I said lying facedown on the bed. I could hear Hazel laugh from where she was standing. "Okay Miss I'll leave you to rest a little bit I'll be in the kitchen when you need me," Hazel said while giggling a little bit "mhmm," I hummed. I'm literally lying on the clouds I can't describe how happy I am right now. Then I hear the door being shut gently. after ten minutes I forced myself to stand up because I needed to unpack those bags. literally the worst thing ever. after a good two hours of unpacking, I finally finished. "That took FOREVER" "Now I really need to take a shower" I took some of my favorite PJs and some underclothes and headed to the bathroom. I took about 30 minutes in the shower, brushed my teeth, and let my hair dry naturally. Before I could make it to the fluffy bed I heard some knocking on the door, I groaned because I was so close to reaching the bed. "Come in" I sighed, the door opened and I saw my Mom enters. "Hey, sweetie," she said in a calm voice and I smiled at her "Hi Mom" "So how are you settling?" "Pretty good actually," I said forcing myself to not yawn. "I just came to give you a goodnight hug," she said and then opened her arms, I hugged her tightly. My Mom is the only thing that was left for me. "You know that I love you so much right? and I'll do anything to make you happy." "I know Mom I love you too." "Okay now I'll leave you to sleep you look pretty tired" "Goodnight sweetie," she said giving me a small kiss on my cheek "Goodnight Mom" With that she left the room, and I faced the bed again. "Now it's only me and you big boy" I jumped on the bed and buried myself under the covers. I don't know why I found myself wondering about my future stepsister. I'm kinda....nervous. I never had any siblings before, but I just hope she will be a nice person. I'm going to find that myself tomorrow. After that, my eyelids felt really heavy and I finally gave up and shut my eyes.
