Secretly Mine

Chapter 1

I wake up on my last day of senior year so happy can't wait to be done with this hell whole I can't believe we've actually stayed in the same state for the pass 4 years since mom is always moving around everywhere for her superficial job. So you see there was never any point for me to make friends because when I was growing up I barely made through a full school year before mom made us pack up for our next adventure as she likes to call it yeah right! But if we're being honest its not like I could make friends anyways my life in friendship or boys friends départements were à joke you see I've always been the darkest one in all my classes and apparently thats not cool and on top of that I've always been carrying a few extra pounds I'm completely plus size not thick don't mix it up but you know what just because  I'm not a stick like mommy dearest doesn't mean I'm ugly Im sorry but that crap shouldn't cut it and won't be listened too. I get out of bed do the usual I'm so excited because I can finally take control of my life I get to pick the college I want to attend and no more moving for me after I finally move into my apartment in New York I walk down stairs with a smile on my face and both of my parents are down there waiting for me but of course mom is on the phone I kiss dad on the cheek and give her hug and I start eating breakfast and she gets done with her call and looks at me with her typical sad face

"Honey you're a beautiful girl but you could be at your full potential if you lost some weight" she says

"Mom I don't need to be like you to be beautiful and I'm fine and healthy the doctors tell you always" I say

"But you could model Nell travel the world don't you want to fall in love get married that's how I met your daddy" she explains

"Mom I'm not thinking of any of that now I'm young and I don't like modeling you've barely been home all my life and Ohio is the first place we can technically call home" I say

"Honey please my job gave us a great life travels extravagant trips and so much more yes we didn't last long in places but we tried to make it up to you okay and now you get to live" she says

I'm already late for the last day and head out and drive in my car my Honda and head out when I arrive I park and just head out for the usual day I've already decided I don't want to attend graduation I have no friends or anything tying me that I want to celebrate so it's a no go for me and my dad's upset but mom could careless she understands since I have no one and of course tell me I should stop being a hermit her way of loving is definitely non conventional going on with my day the usual being called, fat, or ugly and the usual snarky comments I put out of my head and just move on with the day I walk to the office at the end of the day I walk into the office to get my diploma so I can be outta here for good I walk in and smile at Odessa this cute old lady that I've had lunch with for many years and she gives me a hug and has tears streaming down her face

"Congratulations baby I'm so proud of you you're going to accomplish so many great things" she says smiling

"Thank you Odessa I will definitely miss you the most out of being here for 4 years" I say smiling

"You know how to warm a old ladies hart baby girl" she laughs

We talk for 40 minutes and then gives me the envelope with my diploma inside and hugs me I then say goodbye high school hello NYU for graduate school and finally a free fresh start.... Or so I thought

I pull up to my house and both my parents are home early now that's weird I guess they were tired I walk in and they're both sitting at the Dinner table mom is smiling way to bright and dad is trying to be çalm

"Hey guys what's going on" I ask

"Well our daughter graduated today now show us the diploma baby this is big proud moment as your parents" mom says smiling and clapping

I hand over the envelope and they jump up and down and smother me in kisses

"Now if only you would've allowed your mama to see walk down in a beautiful dress and smiling" she says wiping fake tears

"Mama you got this okay it's good enough And you'll have one soon from NYU and I will definitely walk down that one for you both and myself" I say smiling

Until I see their eyes glaze over and I know something is up and I get nervous

"What's going on I know when your faces say something else" I say

"Well honey I have a big opportunity for the business and it's taking me to Spain and me and your father move in  at the end of August" she explains

"I'm happy for you this is a great opportunity for you and you love Europe everytime we went there over the summers so why do you look upset I wasn't going to be home anyways" I say

"You received this today Nell" dad hands me an envelope and I look down at it

"What is Las Valencia" I ask but I open it up and it's a pamphlet and a congratulations acceptance letter

"I never applied for this school and it's in Spain so let me guess" I say throwing the paper on the desk
"You applied me for this because you knew were going to Spain and wanted me there so you did this..... I don't care mom I'm not going there" I say standing up for myself

"Honey you are our child and you being a whole country away from us will not happen especially when the best school in the world wants you and no I didn't pull any strings it's all by yourself your an exceptional student baby" she says

"I don't care you know there's nothing I want more then to go to NYU  and now this I want a stable life for a while I'm not like you I don't seek adventure and from this brochure I can tell you no one will be like me here I'll have no friends there it's probably entitled and girls looking just like you" I say

"Honey please you will have a good time and we will be there for you got a full scholarship not that we need the financial help but they think your brilliant and it won't be a big change because college their is like high school but college courses you have full days so you can't make friends easily" she says

"Honey now you know im always on your side but this is an amazing opportunity people will dream of you don't have to change your degree but you will be offered phenomenal job opportunities after attending this school" he says

"At the end of the day you are going to decide so whatever no NYU for me" I sigh and stomp my way upstairs
