Coming Home

CHAPTER ONE: "COMING HOME"

VICTORIA POV:

"We'll miss you Victoria."The head mistress says with fake sincerity.I fight the habit to roll my eyes and give a fake smile"I'll miss all of you too."That was total bull turkey I didn't like anyone here.They were all too snobby for my liking's.I feel like jumping for joy when I see my dad's old blue rusty Chevrolet."Do you need-"she try's to take my suitcase but I grab it real quick"No I can get it."I start running toward the truck.When I get there my dad's stepping out.I jump into his arms and he barely catches me"Daddy!"I shout like a little girl."Easy there your not as light as you used to be."he chuckles at my reaction.Truth be told I have always been a daddy's girl.I let my dad go and run to the passenger side throwing my suitcase in the back of the truck before hoping in the passenger seat and slamming the door shut.When dad gets in the truck we drive out of the hell holes clutches.I finally let out the breathe I was holding.Thank god I'm finally out of there.The drive from here was a long 4 hours.My eyes start to droop and I'm reminded that I hadn't slept well last night.I'll just sleep the rest of the way.Closing my eyes I start to drift to the steady hum of the trucks engine.

I wake to a bump on the road.I rub my eyes and look at our surroundings.I smile at the old dirt road that leads to our house that's a couple miles out of town.We drive straight for a while then turn left to a big gate with a sigh that a say's 'VRanch' in bold letters.Thats how I got my name. My parents wanted there child to be named with a V.So then they could give the Ranch to me when they retired.I would gladly take over I loved the place and know it like the back of my hand.I used too pull dads Chevrolet up in the middle of my favorite pasture and watch the stars until the early morning.My dad always worried that I'd hurt myself out there or something would happen.Thats why I started bringing my pistol or KMS (Keep's Me Safe) with me.We continued down the road until we finally stopped in front of my house.I sigh nothing had changed about that little old house.It was still the same way it was 2 years ago.It was just a plain 1 story house with 2 bathrooms, 3 bedroom, a kitchen and one living room."You haven't changed one bit."I talk a loud.Dad chuckles beside me"Good to have you back baby."I smile as he kisses my forehead."You've.... Grown sense last time so I'll take you to Walmart after you get settled."It was true I had developed.Most kids made fun of me for being fat or over weight but really I was just over built.I was skinny but not that pretty.Boring chestnut hair and hazel eyes."Thank's dad."Dad unlock's the door and I walk inside.I run my fingers along the wood walls until I reach my room door.I opened the door and walk inside my room closing the door behind me.I unpacked my bag and laid down on my bed.I breathed deeply smelling the smell I missed so much.My mothers smell was still strong in my room.I missed her so much.I wipe away the tear that I didn't know I let out.Dad shouted for me to come on.First Walmart to get jeans, tanks, and a pair of boots.Then tonight I'll get dads truck, drive in the middle of my favorite paster and watch the stars until early morning.
