1 Chapter one

I step off the plane and the air hits my face instantly making me relish in the smell of the California air, not so cold and lung constricting like it was in Maine.

"We're finally here" Jessie says grabbing my hand and making our way to the inside of the airport.

"I know right? the weather is so nice here" I say walking out of the airport and taking in the amount of palm trees that are scattered everywhere, I've only seen a palm tree once when I went on vacation with my parents, Jessie and...him, but that all seems like so long ago.

"For real though, I can't even believe that this is what we get to wake to everyday, without having to worry about, everything" she sighs and I smile at her as we make our way towards a taxi, we throw our stuff into the trunk of the taxi and make our way into the backseat telling the man where to go.

After we pay the taxi driver we stand on the side walk in front of the beautiful house that sat in front of us, it was a faint yellow with white shudders, when you walk into the house it just gets better, you enter a small hallway with stairs to the right and the living room to the left, the whole house was already furnished and there was a navy blue couch sat against the wall facing the doorway with two navy blue love seats on the sides and a black coffee table, same color with the end tables as well, both end tables had white lamps on them and a flat screen TV sat hung on the wall across from the couch, it was cute, there was also a white circle rug.

Once you continue walking down the small hallway you enter the kitchen, there was a stainless steel fridge and beautiful marble countertops, the dining table was also marbled and sat in the middle of the Kitchen.

"It's beautiful" I say awestruck and Jessie smiles at me showing her perfectly white teeth matching her perfectly snow white skin.

"Let's go check out the upstairs" she says turning around and running up the stairs with me following her lead.

the first door when you get upstairs is the bathroom, the bathroom sink has a beautiful marble counter like the one in the kitchen, the shower was the prettiest part, it was a huge circle tub with a black and white printed current, there were lights inside the shower as well.

The house itself was a three bedroom, the next room we came across was just a little ways down the hall from the bathroom, it had a king size bed sitting on the floor with a big tv on a stand on the other side of the room, there was one stand on one side of the bed.

The next room was basically identical except the furniture was all black, a smirk appeared on Jessies face.

"this one's mine, it's gonna be like one great big emo fest in here" she said making me laugh, me and Jessie weren't really the same at all, but I love her, she was extremely skinny with dyed black hair and fair white skin, she only ever wore black and listened to Falling in Reverse which isn't a bad band at all actually. I have light brown skin and curly hair, I wear white and blue a lot and wear makeup, which is something Jessie doesn't do, she's so naturally pretty and the only thing she does is her eyebrows and mascara, I'm too ugly to go without makeup, and too curvy to wear tight fitting clothing.

"sounds good, I'll check out the last room and decide" I say and she nods walking into her room to check it out a little more.

The door at the very end was my room, I knew it the minute I walked in, there was a beautiful white glow to the room with the white walls, there was a bed sat against a wall, the bed set had a beautiful white canopy, the furniture was white as well, it was too much white for my liking but that was because I didn't have anything in here yet.

"Hey have you decided which room you want yet?" Jessie says walking in and taking in the room

"this one" I say and she smiles

"you know what this means?" she asks and I shrug giving her a confused glance

"shopping!!!" she says excitedly, see Jessie isn't like your typical stereotyped emo, she's actually very friendly and social, unlike me, she loves everything a regular girl does except color.

"for what?" I asked and she motioned to the room and my mouth forms and o shape.

we went down the stairs and outside where we saw my black jeep sitting in the driveway, it must have been shipped already, Jessie jumps in the passenger seat before I can even blink and she looks out the window.

"get in loser we're going shopping" she said and I rolled my eyes as I laughed at her, she's always quoting some type of movie but mean girls? seriously?

I get into the drivers seat and put on my favorite song, favorite dress by lil peep, I back out of the driveway and look up directions for the nearest shopping mall, which was a fifteen minute drive from the house, me and Jessie jammed to our music bumping our heads and screaming at the top of our lungs, I'm more than sure that passing cars think we're a bunch of lunatics.

"That was fun" Jessie said when we pulled up to the mall, Jessie thought anything was fun, she could jump off a bridge into water and almost drown and she would come back up saying "that was so much fun" I guess she never liked to think about the negative side of things, can you blame her? she doesn't live worrying about her past mistakes, she just lives, and I'm almost envious of that, almost, but at the same time I'm the one who makes sure he doesn't find us, I'm the one who makes sure we're safe and hidden, I'm the one who makes it so she doesn't have to worry.

"lets go" I say and we get out of the jeep and make our way to the front of the building, I open the door and hold it open for Jessie as we enter the building, I stop in my tracks once I get to look at the inside of the mall.....

wow.....
