I stood at my mirror to touch up my make up. Today is my dad's weeding to some female called Samantha. He says he's trying to 'move on.' But what exactly is he moving on from, it's not like he ever loved my mother. My mum is dead, died of heart attack or sum like that. I'm not sure who cursed it, but my mum did my dad a lot of bad. Britney, my bestie thinks I'm just being a stupid seventeen year old, for supporting my dad, but I disagree with her, there is more to the story than my dad is actually telling me, but I know for sure mom, had an affair.
'Jas? Jas, boo come on, we are going to be late' Britney called from down stairs.
I walked out of her room looking so gorgeous, i was wearing a fitted dress with flay from knee length that swept the ground. It was my mum's.
Britney' POV
'Woah bestie u is looking like some model right about now, you gon make the bride look like dog food, dressed up like that'.
Jasmine's POV
I laughed so hard at what Britney said, she gets me so well. We've been best friends since the second grade, I would kill for her. ' well boo, I'm just being myself' I said sarcastically.
"wow ok girllllllllll I see you" Britney said with a slur.
At the wedding ceremony
Jasmine POV
Its nice to see my dad this happy, ever since mom died, he has been someone else.
I watched as he was whispering at his new wife's ear, and I cannot help but wonder that this isn't a bad idea after all, it could be fun.
I and Samantha haven't really talked, we said hi a couple of times I went to dinner with she and my dad, she was definitely not a nice person. ' yo Jas check out all these cute looking guys like wow'
Britney said to. "go talk to one of them, they don't bite"
She rolled her eyes and went to a light skin guy. I'm not really big on dating, I have never heard a boyfriend, it's complicated.
'Jas, come take a picture with us' my dad called and I walked over there putting on a fake smile for the camera, I hate my life, sike jk.
At the house
"Jasmine, I know all this is new to you, but try to warm up to her, start a conversation and be friends with her, and please show some respect, I love her, and want to start a family with her"
I looked at my dad like he had two heads, like I should warm up to her, wow, she should be trying to win my love for fuck sake.
"Dad no need for allat, ok? She do her and I do me, I will be out of here soon and you two could have a nice life' I said in rude tone.
My dad looked disappointed like he was about to beat the hell out of me, but I was hurt, so stormed upstairs to my room, haven't seen Samantha tho, like jeez I have school tomorrow like who the hell does a weeding on Sunday?.
I got to my room, and decided to take a nice shower, before face timing Britney, so she could tell me about that light skin guy, okurrrrr.
Jasmine
I heard a banging at my door, I sat up on my bed, picked up my old scrappy phone and checked the time the lights were blinding me, and it was only 4:30 am. 'What the fuck?' I yelled and opened the door, before I could see who it was my face was greeted with a slap. Time froze!
"Don't ever curse and yell at me, ever again" Samantha yelled in my face, spitting all over it.
I was about to cry, jump her and scream daddy at the same time, but I was too shocked, no one has ever slapped me like ever in my whole life, my mind raced, what should I do? but I was interrupted by Samantha's talking.
"There are new rules in this house young lady, absolutely no sleeping in. you have to do house chores before u go to that strip club of a school."
I knew I had to do chores, I did them, but not before school, with tears streaming down my face, I said " why in the hell did you slap me? You interrupted my sleep, and for the record, don't nobody doing no house chores before school" she looked at me with disgust, why does she hate me? She doesn't even know me, I know I called her a hoe, but not because I hated her but because I was sort of jealous, any girl in my shoes would be. "
Look here jasmine, you do as i say, I'm your step mother, I run things around here, I basically own you now." She said and walked out.
She didn't come here to tell me what has changed, but she came to torment me. I crawled back to bed and cried myself to sleep. I woke up at 7:00 am again. I walked to the mirror and saw that she left bruises on my face, make up could cover it, but it cannot cover my hurt, as I took my shower I wondered if I should tell my dad, but it seemed selfish in a way, he is finally happy, he deserves it.
I got out the shower, lotioned myself and put on my outfit, a very tight skinny jeans, which hugged my long legs, I'm not really tall, I'm just 5.5, a pink top which I nutted at my on the side so it showed my flat tommy, I wore a bumper jacket over it, and my black vans, and I put my hair into a top bun pineapple, I did a lite make up to cover the bruise. And I walked out the house quietly, with my book back and my phone to the bus stop.
On the way to school
Jasmine
I knew it would be hard going through this day without crying, I don't want everyone asking questions. I want my bestie rn oh Christ, I felt tears wailing in my eyes, and this was when I decided I was not going to class, plus I'm a senior and fortunately for me, it's a half day school ends at 12:30 so great, imma just stay at the bleachers on the field.
I tried texting Britney but she was in class so it's switched off. I was roaming the school and now it was 11:00 and Britney replied that she was waiting at the front of the school. I ran with might to the front and now I let the tears run down I spotted Britney and I hugged her with force, she suggested we go to biggy's and talk. Yea I know I'm such a cry baby.
At the diner
I narrate the whole story with tears to Britney, she sat by me consoling me. I felt eyes on me, it felt uncomfortable but one wasn't, it was this guy he was staring at me, I must say the good lord made him in the morning cause ole boy was looking fine as hell.
Draco
I looked at her intently, she looked hurt, even with tears streaming down her face, she still look so Damn beautiful, that moment I really wanted to know what was bothering her and to tell her that everything would be fine.
I was interrupted by me best friend, Brandon, as he hit my arm, we was talking about my ex who would not let me go. I know for a fact that she doesn't love me she just wants my money, well not mine altogether, I'm a college freshman, but my father I the one and only Ace Marshall number one biggest business mogul. So that's the only reason she won't let me go. Just then, the girl I was staring at just ran out of the diner. I couldn't stop watching her.
Jasmine
He kept staring, everyone kept staring I couldn't take it, so I ran out with Britney running after me.
Britney
Damn Jas has got the most evil step mom, I want to do sum but she says to let it go, but look how much she's crying, I'm so hurt, I can't even help my best friend.
Jasmine
I got home at around five pm, after going to the park and to the ice cream store . Samantha was at the kitchen. I knew damn well she was waiting for me. Where in the hell my dad at?
Samantha
'You and I know damn well that today was an early release day, where the hell have u been, u can't just walk in and out of here as u want u don't pay no bills here'
Jasmine
She always have a problem with me. While Samantha said those things I was boiling with rage and I started talking. "First of all, let me tell u sum thing," said dramatically. 'You ain't my mama, and u never will be, so stop acting like it' I saw her raised a hand to slap me and I said
"if u dare lay a hand on me, imma fuck u over, on my dead mama"
I walked upstairs to my room with attitude, Samantha looked like she popped her pants. I was shocked as to how much balls I got, what I knew was that it wouldn't last, this confidence, I honestly don't know why I can't stand up or myself some times. I didn't wanna go downstairs so I slept with an empty stomach.
