Hey you guys! I'm going on a vacation to France for two weeks! I am going to miss you! ENJOY! -------------------------- Chapter 14: When Worlds Collide [Alex's POV] I waved to Nick as he pulled out the driveway and out of nowhere, the door in front of me was opened, and it revealed MacKenzie and Megan. "Hey Alex! Come on in!" MacKenzie said. They stepped aside and opened the door a little wider so I could walk in. The house was extremely beautiful. Dusty green walls, dark wooden floors, there were pictures all around the room. Beautiful furniture. The bet here parents had a lot of money, everything looked rather expensive and luxury. I took a closer look at the pictures. There was one where it was only a man, a woman and MacKenzie. I'd seen the woman all the other pictures, probably MacKenzie's mom, but with a different man, and a boy that was not in this picture. "That's my dad. He died four years ago." I felt some sort of sympathy. None of my parents had died, but I knew what it felt like when they were not around. It made you feel like they did not like you, or they regretted having you. But most of all it made you feel like you were a disappointment, it made you feel like you brought shame to them. That's how I felt when Nick's father talked my parents into sending me to the same school as Nick. My mom and dad had been so stubborn about it, my father, a proud Spanish man, had protested like crazy but I remembered Kevin Senior's words: "Ramirez, your daughter has a talent, she will not be treated with the respect she deserves to a high school for highly intelligent kids. To Dayton Performance Arts School, she will learn to use here married, she will get excellent teachers, and she'll be happy. She'll be surrounded by people that love her, and people will see talent here, and they will respect here. " My father had surrendered, but when he looked at me after that, his eyes shone of disappointment. I wished Kevin Sr. had been right about the respect. It was a good school, do not get me wrong, but I did not fit in.. I was Shy And I was a loser. "I'm sorry," I said when I got back to reality. "Did your mother get remarried?" "Yeah, two Bryan and he had a son named Timothy. I actually like them, but sometimes I feel like Timothy takes my place, and sometimes it feels like my father never even existed." "Again, I'm sorry." I said. MacKenzie smiled and told me it was fine. Megan and Kenz lead me up the stairs and into Kenz 'room. I was amazed, it was huge and there were posters hanging all around. It was incredible. A huge bed, three could easily be in there, white walls, a ridiculously white carpet. Hundreds of pictures of her father and Megan. I put my bag in a corner. And then afterwards put down on the bed next to Megan. The next two hours or so we just talk about everything and nothing. They told me stories about their trips all around the country. Both of their parents had money. MacKenzie's mom and stepdad were lawyers, and Megan's mom taught to Princeton, and her father who had left them, owned a huge toilet paper company. It was not a problem for them to get anywhere, they had the money for everything. The most expensive things. One time Megan's dad had gotten them a private jet. How crazy was that? They asked me about my parents, and I admitted blankly that I was not exactly sure what their job was, all I knew was they traveled a lot, and they were rarely home. But they did not judge me on my obvious lack of money, they were good people. You know, we always think people with money are bitches and jerks? Theory That just got contradicted, these two girls were kind to me, told me some of Their secret. They slowly made me trust them, which was nice for me. I had learned not trust two people, too often they'd humiliate me for their own fun, and then dump me back on the ground. I had learned to not easy people inside, I could feel when they just talked to me, two in the end laugh at me. I did not get that feeling with MacKenzie and Megan, they were sincere, and I could feel a trust towards them build up inside me. "Alex, Truth or Dare?" "Truth," I answered. I feared this question, my heart was racing who knows how many m / h. I tried to control my breathing but it was hard. I was so scared she would ask me about Nick, or how I felt about Serena. "Okay," she said looking like she was thinking hard. "Do you have a crush on Nick?" -------------------------------------- QUESTIONS: 1: What do you honestly think of Before The Storm? 3: Would you mind telling some people about my stories?
