Lost

Chapter 1

Junior's POV
I stared long and hard at the mirror in my bathroom silently wishing that I had magical powers that would magically help me change my dad's mind or maybe some fairy godmother would just pop out and promise to fulfil three wishes of mine
"Junior everybody's out already what are you still doing in your room" my father's loud voice startled me out of my day dreams
I looked around my room again mentally checking if I was forgetting anything, not like it would matter my dad could easily get anything I needed
"Junior!!!!" my dad shouted again I could hear him coming towards my room so I grabbed my bag from the bed and got out from my room before he could reach my room
"Dad I'm done" I said as he was reaching where I was. The way he was looking at me it was obvious that he was pissed
"I'm sorry... I just.... I just don't know how to cope.... It took me almost a year to blend in here" I didn't even know when I started crying and we both knew it wasn't for the reason I told him, I looked at my dad and I could already figure out what he was going to say due to the way his eyes were twinkling
"Men don't...."
"Cry... I know dad" I smiled and cleaned the tears in my eyes before looking at him again "I guess I still need to grow up" he chuckled and motioned me to come closer for a hug. While we hugged I noticed the fact that I was already almost taller than my dad and that made me smile
"awwwwwwwn..... As much as I love family moments and all we are going to be very late for our flight" we broke our hug to find my elder sister standing by the main door with a smug expression on her face
"shut up Jane" I said smiling then I walked towards her and hugged her I could feel her smile against my chest yeah that's right I'm taller than my elder sister
She is one of the reasons why I feel so confident about myself asides from the fact that's she drop dead gorgeous and since I look like her I could always feel good about my looks but she's also always there to remind me of how much I mean to her and the rest of my family, she's always there through my hard times and my good times too she can be obnoxious too but aren't all siblings obnoxious and right now I understand the message she's trying to convey and she confirms my suspicions by whispering in my ear "Jay you'd find her someday"
"Okay break it up kids we really have to go now"
"awwwwwwwn someone needs a hug too" my sister coooed
"whatever" my dad said rolling his eyes -jeez he could be a drama queen sometimes- but he still came to hug us "okay kids we really have to go now.... Your mom is going to have my head" my sister and I laughed at my dad's expense the only person that can make my dad scared is my mum well to his own defense my mum scares everybody
I looked at our ex home not forgetting the fact that this would probably be the last time I'd ever be in it and I felt excited wait...what. I'm not supposed to be excited I'm supposed to feel sad at the fact that I wouldn't be here around my friends,....and every chance of reuniting with Stella yeah Stella was already almost gone. I put my hands in my pocket to make sure I still had the beanie she gave to me when we were still kids. It's the only thing I have to remember her by. She loved the beanie so much she wore it almost everyday when we were ten, it was too big for her but she still loved it
Putting the beanie on my head I walked out of the house and the minute I saw my mum in the car looking at me like she was seeing a ghost I immediately removed the beanie before she insults me
"Better" she comments when I entered into the backseat of the car "what took you guys so long" she asked looking at dad
"I left my art portfolio in my room I had to look for it" Jane replied from beside me I looked at her with one raised eyebrows and she just shrugs and waves her portfolio in the air like 'hello oh'
"Okay then I think we are all done" Dad starts the car and turns to mum "Darling please start the prayer
"Okay Jane and junior please take out your rosaries and concentrate" mum watches us as we both take out our rosary
"Hail Mary.... " I zoned out counting the number of houses in our street although I knew we had 13 houses with our house being the thirteenth I just wanted to think other things maybe so I wouldn't think about the more important stuffs like how it is going to be like onward I didn't even know when it came to my turn to start the prayer Jane had to tap my knees gently so my mum doesn't notice I cleared my throat and started
"I believe in God, The father Almighty... "
