CHAPTER:2

Beyanca's POV

I sometimes think that I have nothing to wear but then I realise I'm a girl.

I'm supposed to not have anything to wear even with a wardrobe full of it.

That's normal.

Completely.

Even in the past, when I used to wear nothing but baggy and oversized clothes, I had so many of them.

You could actually count on every colour and type!

Yes, they come in varieties too!

Anyways, I settled on a nude colored high roll-neck oversized jumper dress as it was a bit chilly outside.

I paired it with my black knee-length boots and headed towards my dressing table once again.

Earlier, I couldn't even start my makeup and hair because of that annoying little thing!

After dealing with that problem, I directly headed towards my walk-in-closet to get dressed.

Nonetheless, I started doing my daily skin care routine and just applied a bit mascara and lip gloss on the name of make-up!

I absolutely hate caking up my face with make-up and thus keep it simple and less most of the times.

I raked my fingers through my hair to adjust them. I applied a bit serum as well and decided to let them down only.

After checking myself out in the mirror once more, I finally left my room.

_______________________________

I made my way directly to the kitchen, knowing that mom and Becca are still there.

My already right guess confirmed again as neared the kitchen and heard their voices.

"You know he's trying his best Rebe.

Trust me, he loves you so much." Mom said.

Mom was using her exclusive nickname for Becca which might I add, noone except of her can use, instead of the endearments as usual which means what they're talking about is serious.

"I- I don't know Mily.

I don't know really!

I'm trying too but I just cannot forget all of it in a snap!

I-" Becca started just as I entered the kitchen.

They looked at me and stopped talking.

"I'm ready and I'll be outside, okay.

You guys continue." I quickly said to both of them, knowing how important it was and that they both needed some privacy.

And also because I knew that Becca would tell me all of this eventually!

"I'll be out soon honey." Mom said to me and I nodded my head and went out to the living room.

"I cannot imagine how you even put up with him Mily!" Becca continued just as I left.

Did I skipped the part where mom and victor are dating each other?

I think I did!

I'm not good at all this story telling.

Well still, Here it goes,,

Mom and Vic started dating around 3 years back.

Yeah, That long!

Well even after being neighbors for years and single, the idea of dating each other never striked them.

And Ofcourse, Mom being so close to Becca didn't help either!

Becca's dad has an architectural firm of his own and when his firm partnershiped with the one where mom works was where it all begin!

Cliché!

Trust me, I know.

Wait till the next part!

Mom was assigned as the head of the project.

They both started working together more often.

One thing led to another, sparks flied, all that connection thing, personalities clicking, blah, blah, blah and boom!

They were dating.

Absolute cliché!

There,

I said it on behalf of y'all!

No comments please.

I know I suck at storytelling.

Anyways, they kept it lowkey for a while but obviously mom couldn't hide it from Becca forever! So they both decided to come clean in front of her.

Becca was okay with it.

Yeah well who am I kidding, she was furious!

She felt somehow- betrayed, with mom and even with her own dad!

And I actually agree with her on this point. She was right at her place.

Mom out of all the persons knew how strained her relationship was with her father.

She stopped talking to mom, for days!

But this is Becca and mom we're talking about.

They cannot stay without talking to each other for long.

So Becca came around eventually.

She had a civil conversation with both of them about how she'll try accepting the fact that they both are dating but she was still against it and all that crap!

Ofcourse that conversation ended with her in mom's arms and crying about everything.

She's such a baby infront of mom I tell you!

Only infront of mom.

Nonetheless, she forgived both of them and accepted it all after a few days because of mom.

She loves her so much!

She even threatened her father about not hurting mom and all that thing about how she'll hunt him down and bury him, blah blah!

And me,

I was sort of okay with all of this!

Okay fine, again, who am i kidding!?

I was on cloud nine after hearing this! I was happy for my mom.

And who knew if things turned out good and good and some more good and reallyyyy good,

Then me and Becca will end up being Sisters!

Okay yeah, stepsisters.

But still SISTERS!!

I was ecstatic.

The End.

Just then, mom and Becca entered the living room.

Becca plopped down beside me and mom went to her room to grab her keys.

"You okay?" I asked her.

She shrugged and said, "Much better"

I only nodded and closed the topic.

"Let's go Beya." Mom said as she arrived in the living room and I looked at her and nodded.

I gave a quick hug to Beya and went outside.

Mom came shortly after followed by Becca.

She locked the door and looked at her.

"Do you wanna join us?" Mom asked and Becca shook her head.

"It's okayyy Mily.

I'll be fine, you guys go." She replied.

"Are you sure?" Mom asked again to which she just nodded and gave her small reassuring smile.

Mom returned her smile and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

She then took the driver's seat while I sat in the passenger one.

We waved at Becca and then we were off to the airport.

_______________________________

It still feels a bit weird.

Even though I'm living with my mom but not living with dad and Brian still feels a bit odd.

Not seeing them regularly is still unsettling.

You cannot blame me okayy, I've lived with them since forever!

My parents divorced a little after my birth. They are two mature people who realized it all early and soon that they weren't capable enough as a couple and thus got separated.

They were too busy in their own lives to give time to each other, as they say it!

My mom moved here in San Diego where she works as an architecture and earns quite well.

The old lady is really good at her job you know!

Well for those who are wondering what about my dad!

He stayed in San Francisco and is managing the family business.

I used to live with my dad until two years back when I moved here with mom.

Ofcourse I was not completely oblivious of everything and the place was not completely unknown to me either.

I used to come here many a times to visit mom.

But still I was unhappy when I left that place because I was afraid of how am I going to adjust at a new place, provided that I was an introvert before!!

Becca was there and we were good friends but still!

I hated socializing with people.

They're just so terrible human beings!

My friends (friend **) turned out to be not so good as well, which only strengthened my opinion about people!

Well that's a story for another time.

But anyways, things turned out to be good here.

Really good actually!

It even resulted in me getting out of my shell and actually enjoying what people call as 'your teenage days'!

I only had one friend back there, my bestfriend or ex bestfriend now.

You know That one person who sticks with you through thick and thin and brings out the best and worst out of you at the same time.

Yeah, that was him!

He was the only person except of my family to never make fun of me. He never let anyone bully me.

He was always by my side,

Except for that day!

I never knew what getting hurt was or how it felt until he stood against me.

Because someone certainly said the truth when they said that,

The people you love the most, holds the power to hurt you the most!

He was people.

Oliver,

Oliver Ryder.

"We're here honey!"
