Chapter 4 - Chapter Four: Storytime with Jasmine

The Rooftop.

The only place in this school that is not such a nightmare. I come up here sometimes to clear my head. It's my special spot. For me only. Oliver doesn't even know about this place. And I like it that way.

Not only am I sad that I may lose Oliver but I am also so pissed at the stunt that Austin pulled today.

I don't want to think about any of that. I just want to go numb. Alcohol would do the trick but my secret stash was empty the last time I checked. Plus runaway step-mom wouldn't let me bring back a few bottles of Tequila from Mexico.

How disappointing.

You guys are probably wondering why I call her my runaway step mom. It's very simple actually.

Storytime with Jasmine!

My mother had complications during pregnancy and labour was, well labour was two weeks later than due date.

While she was giving birth, the doctor told her it was either her life or mines. So I guess, as the good mother she was, she sacrificed her life for mine. So abracadabra; Jasmine was born.

And yes, She named me Jasmine before she died. Oh sweet mother.

Two years after my birth, my father remarried. No not remarried. He wasn't married to my mom but they were in a serious relationship. At least that's what runaway step-mom tells me.

So yes, my father marries Kristen two years after my birth. That explains the step-mom aspect.

Now this is where things gets interesting. Apparently Kristen and my Dad did not have a healthy relationship which led to their divorce.

Which also led to him leaving me behind with Kristen.

Father of the year don't you think. Applaudisé papa!

I've been living with Kristen ever since. I call her runaway because she dates a lot and she travels all the time with any new boyfriend she gets. She's currently in London now with Josh; hence the phone call this morning. She only comes back when she gets her heart broken or on holidays.

It wasn't always like this. Before I i turned 12; she and her sisters Aunt Cassie and Aunt Renesmeë took care of me. So it wasn't all so bad with Kristen.

I guess now she just wants to live the life my father deprived her off when he married her and then dumped the responsibility of looking after me on her. 

I know in her own crazy way she loves me and i  do too but I'm never going to tell her.

Just because.

A/N:

Story time with Jasmine was really nice don't you think.

I just needed to clear the air about Kristen before moving further with the story.
