Chapter 10 - California

" Ladies and gentlemen, Qantas welcomes you to California, the local time is 12am, for your safety and the Safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate"

The flight attendant said, as I forcefully woke up from my slumber, "wakey wakey" a familiar voice said, I was instantly pissed with everything around me, why was I woken up from sleep, I wanted to stay with dad a little longer..

" Must your voice be the first?' I asked, obviously pissed, " you would be woken anyway, so what's the difference?" he said, well that's true, but I would appreciate being woken up by someone else not him.

I just rolled my eyes, well the journey has ended, you wont have to see him anymore, words can't describe how happy I am, finally out of this intimidating place, waited till we were given the permission to leave the plane.. finally in California, I can already feel different…

This breath of fresh air, I could spend all my savings in California without thinking twice, I had packed some cash as well, since I have no valid account for now, " bye aunt" s tiny voice said..

I turned to look at the direction such tiny voice was coming from, it was Ellie, the little girl I sat with, she slept as well I guess, I thought she was dumb, she didn't utter a word since I met her…

" Bye dear" I waved her bye, finally she could have her perfect date with her father, I boarded a cab to my hotel, reserved for me, Miss Anna really knows my taste, I never regret taking her In,or let's say the other way round

Though it's the other way around, she's a very wealthy single woman who just saw me and surprisingly liked me, ever since I was pampered, like the most important thing in her life ..

She once said I look like her dead daughter, piper. Piper was a sweet girl but she always pisses me off, with her constant pestering, about men, and money. She never stops flaunting her wealth and assumes a perfect family for me…

We were close because I started working for her mother, but on an unfortunate day, I couldn't take it anymore, so I let Chuck visit her. I remembered cutting her tongue off, but now she can't talk anymore.

Just like always, I got my track cleaned, no one would ever suspect an innocent looking girl like me, I remembered going to console Miss Anna when she found out her daughter was missing for days..

Well it's been a year now,and there's no trace, I know Anna still hopes her daughter will come back, but there's no way that's happening, she's long gone, I smirked as the scene popped into my head…

Piper begged for her life, but she has seen the real me, and I won't let that go, she would make it known to everyone that I am capable of killing, so in order to keep my identity a secret I have to finish what I started…

I miss her sometimes, ah no I don't, just joking, I lodged in my room, it was cozy and warm, giving me that welcome vibes I wanted, I settled down after taking a shower..

It was a comfortable suit, just for me. It had a television but I had no use for it. I needed to talk to my diary, I pulled it out of my box, so excited to write down how my day went..

I brought out my pen, as usual always tied to the dairy, I opened to the next empty page,

" dear dairy, well i am finally in California, it's 2am in in the morning, and I can't sleep, I slept throughout my journey, I don't know if it was sixteen hours anymore or minutes but either way I saw dad today, in my dreams"

And before I forget, there's the guy I saw at the airport with a little girl, he had the most intimidating aura ever, he had these satin grey eyes I would love to have in my collection…

It would be unique I found myself crushing real hard on him, he had the perfect jawline and perfect body, seducing voice and the sweetest accent but he had this strange talent that would be too challenging to handle

I don't know if he's just a mind reader or a to detective but he could see through me, he could see through my classic fake blush and smile, something no one has ever seen

I felt so intimidated, I have this unfamiliar feeling, I never want to have it again, but all the same, it's over, the worlds just too large for us to see each other again, maybe he is based in California and I'm based in Australia…

So there's no way for us to see again… ever, well I guess that's all, I would be visiting the beach first thing tomorrow, sorry you can't come with me, but I would surely tell you how my day went…

Bye for now sleep tight"

Those were my final words as I placed the dairy back inside my bag, I never want to take the risk of leaving it. If anyone sees my dairy I am done for, every day was detailed in it. I tried stopping myself but I just couldn't..

I feel so abnormal, I remember fainting, one unfaithful day when I tried keeping myself away from dairy, I don't want to feel that burden again, each time I write I feel the presence of my dad, it belonged to my dad..

So writing on it makes me feel like I am speaking directly to him. Chuck was placed on my dairy and a bunch of clothes were placed on it.

In no time I had dozed off, the airconditioning here hits different than the one back home, or maybe I am the one feeling different
