Chloe you do know you're weird right ? You keep telling everyone you love traveling, traveling makes you happy, infact you have been planning this trip since September said Renee, who happens to be my best friend and also my cousin...umm.. elder cousin, two years elder to me, so that makes her 20 years old but if you will look at her she looks like a very confident 23-24 year old woman short pixie cut, pink hair, nose pierced, multiple tattoos on right hand and neck.
Well, I do love traveling Renee, I am not really sure why did we decided to go to all the way India to celebrate X-Mas and new year ? I said while closing my oh so favourite book 50 shades of Grey which by the way I am reading for the 100th time.
Well little sister, first of all the main reason for this vacation is your birthday which is tomorrow and Goa, India is the ultimate party place during X-Mas and new year, they have Sun burn event going on, the rave parties during this time are to die for.
Uh.. Renee you do realise that I share my birthday with Jesus, you really think we would be going to rave party with bunch of hippies on a Christmas night ? I asked rolling my eyes at her.
Oh come on Chloe you don't turn 18 every year, you're an adult now, and adults are allowed to be bad sometimes, will go to church in the morning and in the evening we will do some sins... She said winking at me.
Is there a way I can opt out of this let's do some sins plan of yours ??? - No! Absolutely not, don't even think about it, or else I will tell mom & dad about Paxton and you little bird will be grounded for life.
What ? No please, that's not fair, you promised you wouldn't tell anyone. I said pouting.
Alright alright don't be a cry baby, just party with me, this one time, just let it go, it's okay to let go once in a while Chloe, you don't have to be so uptight all the time and for god's sake stop reading this stupid book, this is bullshit, bad boys are bad for a reason and they don't change for anyone, it's all about sex and pleasure so stop dreaming about a stupid prince charming.
Renee's words kept repeating in my mind, she was right, bad people doesn't change for anyone, and even if someone try to change, if someone try to get out of their world they die.
I Started stairing out of the window, looking at the palm trees, the greenery, and going back to the day I was supposed to die with my parents but I didn't.
I am Chloe Mikaelson or Chloe Martin, I am turning 18 tomorrow that's x-Mas, I was thirteen when I lost my parents, we were supposed to move to New York from Mexico, we were supposed to start fresh, I was really excited because dad decides to change his life, be a good man, he was ready to do it all for me. I remember my parents, they told me they will be back in an hour and I need to pack rest of my stuff and be ready by then.
After packing everything I waited for them and they were back just in time, dad had an envelope full of cash that would help us with our transition . We were ready to go and I wanted to say good bye to my cousin Renee and her parents (my maternal uncle and aunt), I was told I have 20 minutes to go and be back after saying my farewell to them, their house wasn't that far, on bicycle it was within few minutes I was already there, hugging Renee and weeping, promising her to share pictures of big beautiful buildings in New york. Right before I was ready to leave my uncle decided to drop me since I gifted my bicycle to Renee.
The moment we entered my house all I could do was scream, my parents were lying on the floor, there was blood everywhere, multiple bullet wounds, and a message on the wall written with their blood- "Nobody walks out of our world Alive, and nobody crosses the boss. We will find the little one and we will skin her alive" that was for me, my uncle took my bagpack, the cash envelope and ran towards his car and took me to church, and asked the priest to take care of me for two days. I was in shock, scared and numb.
I didn't ask what was happening, why I was asked to be at the church, I just felt numb.
After two days my uncle , aunt and Renee came to pick me up, and to tell me that we are relocating to Houston Texas. Since then I have been with them, they are my family, and I will always be indebted to them for protecting me, from changing my family name to changing everything about life, they have been there for me.
So now I am Chloe Martin, instead of Chloe Mikaelson, I had to leave my family name along with everything else, I am not supposed to have any social media presence, no pictures, nothing... Guess Gangsters really are good at tracking people, so in order to live I had to be a dead girl for the rest of my life.
WAKE UP !!!! Renee's scream made me jump, oh hi sleepy head, we are here, let's go now, let's check-in and hit the pool baby girl. She said excitedly.
I smiled at her enthusiasm and made a mental note about not to visit my painful past this entire week.
