Waves: Chapter 3- Because My Life Sucks

Waves: Chapter 3- Because my life sucks

I hear movement the next morning as I wake up with a groan. God, why did I think it was a good idea to drink last night? Oh yeah, because my life sucks. Making slow movements, I finally stand and manage to go and shower. As I rinse of all the sand, memories from last night resurface. I can't believe I made out with a complete stranger last night just for the hell of it. I mean who does that? 

After showering I exit the bathroom and change into my pale blue bikini and throw on a white t-shirt and my denim shorts and some flip flops. Brushing my pink-blonde hair and pulling it up into a ponytail, I go into the living area to find a familiar looking women sitting at the dining table with a bunch of files and documents in front of her. When she notices me she stands.

"Lana. Wow, you have grown so much." she slowly approaches me, reaching for a hug but I step out of her grasp. I see the hurt in her eyes but I ignore it. 

"That is what happens to a child who you haven't seen in ten years." I respond harshly.

Like she can really expect me to just forgive her for leaving us all those years ago. Not once did she ever try to contact me and ask how I was. This women who I am meant to call my mother is a stranger.

"I wanted to. But you father wa-"

"Don't you dare talk about my father! It is not his fault that you didn't come to see me! He raised me alone. As far as I am concerned he is my only parent and I don't even know where he is. I am only here because I was forced to be here. Not to make any kind of relationship with you. And the second that he is back I am leaving here so that I never have to see your face again." I tell her.

"You can't speak to me like that! I am your mother!" she looks pissed now.

"As far as I am concerned, I have no mother." I say before leaving.

Storming down the beach I was still riled up from my conversation with my mum. All I want is for dad to come back and to take me away from her and on to our next adventure. Preferably somewhere far, far away. 

After aimlessly walking around for god knows how long, I go back to the hotel in search for food and my laptop, deciding that blogging my feelings may help calm me down. Well that and food. After making sure the coast was clear and grabbing my laptop, I go to the restaurant downstairs and eat and type at the same time.

Hey, everyone! I know it has been a while but my life got turned upside down a week ago. Dad has disappeared. No one knows where he is. So in the meantime I am living in this weird messed up world where rich people can just throw money around to get whatever they want, where random nameless guys can make you feel something exciting and where mother's suck at being mothers. God knows how long I have to stay here or what is going to happen to me, but let's just pray that I can leave this godforsaken place soon. Wish me luck ;)

After posting, I immediately get a bunch of comments asking if I was okay and details on the mystery guy. After commenting on a few, I check my emails to see that I have a message from Macy.

Heya chica. Okay that was lame. It sounded better in my head. How are you doing? Your dad should be back soon! Are you excited? Life here is kind of dull. I wish you were here. Mason ate my brownies yesterday and you know how I like my food with my Teen Wolf! Mum says hi, she misses you like crazy. I swear you are the favourite child and she already has two of her own! Hope you can get back to me soon!

Love, Macy

I am guessing she hasn't heard the news about my dad yet. Then again, how could she have heard it if I didn't tell her. Making a note to self about replying soon, I stand and head to the pool. Not ready to return to the penthouse. I swim for hours which helps to relax me, before going up to the penthouse, wearing only my bikini. The doors slide open and I meet a familiar blonde who is looking at me very confused.

"What are you doing here? This is my home!" She yells at me.

Her home? What?

"What do you mean your home?" 

"Layla? Who is it sweetie." Mum walks into the room, stopping in her tracks when she sees me. "I see you to have reconnected." she says calmly.

"Reconnected?" I ask, confused.

"You don't remember?" Mum looks at me shocked.

"Oh god, please don't tell me she-" Blondie, aka Layla starts.

"Don't you remember your twin?" 

"TWIN! I CANT HAVE A TWIN! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?" I yell at the two of them.

"We don't even look alike. I mean I obviously got all the good looks in the family." Layla looks me up and down, judging me.

"Stop that Layla. Be nice to your sister." Mum scolds her.

"Whatever." she rolls her eyes. "I have plans anyway. See ya." Layla says before leaving.

"How can you not know about your twin?" mum asks me.

"I don't remember having one. Dad never mentioned it." I automatically respond even though I really don't feel like talking to her.

"I can't believe him." Mum says to no one in particular.

"So, I have a twin? We don't look the same." I point out.

"You were fraternal twins. When your dad and I got divorced, I took Layla and he took you." Mum explains.

"So not only did you leave me and dad, but you took my sister with you too?"

This was unbelievable. When did it end?

She nods slowly. "You always loved him more than me."

"I just can't believe that I had no idea."

"Me neither. Look, I am really sorry. I want to continue this conversation but I have a meeting in ten minutes." Mum interrupts my freak out.

Of course she has a meeting. I internally roll my eyes. "Fine." I answer simply. 

Just as she walks into the lift, she stops and turns to face me. "Oh, and one more thing. You have school on Monday."

School? "But I am homeschooled!" I call out.

"Not anymore." She replies as the doors closed.

I didn't know what was more shocking. Finding out I had a sister, or that I have to start school for the first time in my life in a few days.
