Chapter 5

My pillow full of tears,just like after mom died. 

"Not again" I whisper.

Beep,Beep

>Ivy
Message:

Hey,Ariel! Let's go to that new patisserie down seasouth street.i hear it tastes good! Den's gonna come too! 

I should go out.It's a beatuiful day & since i don't want to eat breakfast & stay with dad here.

Sign: Seasouth Street.

"ARIELLA!!!!!!!!" Ivy waves at me.

"Hey." I say

"It's a miracle you didn't have breakfast today ariel." Says Ivy

"Yeah,you never go out without eating." Says den

"Something happened last night." I say with a serious tone

"What?" they both asked

"Dad says we're moving." I answered

"That's good change of pace." Ivy sips her tea.

"No,it's not!" I say with a serious tone

They both go quiet and stared at me.

"I don't wanna move. that house is our memories with..mom. " I say

"..."

"Did you tell your dad you didn't wanna move?" Ivy asked

"I did! " I answered

"And?" Den waits for more of my answers

"He got furious." I say

"Ariel.."den says.

Riing..ring

"Hello? yeah? oh good! guys let's go!" Ivy says being all energetic as usual

"Where?" I ask

"Yoga!" They both say

"That's why i'm in my gym clothes!" Ivy says

"No thanks,i'll pass. i'm staying here." I say

"You sure? " Ivy asks

"It'll clear your head a little." Den says

"I'm sure." I say

"Okay,den let's go." Ivy says

"Right,see you ariel." Den waves at me

"see you." I say

After they left i went out for a walk. i was deep in my thoughts that i never noticed i went to the cemetery. i might as well visit her.

The cemetery is really creepy when we went to visit a relative here.but after mom died,it became my home.i would always visit her.her tombstone would be filled with flowers everyday that the grave keeper told me to stop filling them up.i never did.in fact that wasn't enough flowers for her.

here it is again. the cold gray cement with her embbed name...birth of date...and...that date.

"Hey mom. I'm here again...we're moving,isn't that frustrating? we're going to leave our house.....the memories....all of it... I miss you."

I look intently at her grave. The place is quietly creepy but is the right atmosphere to set my mood in. I walked away before another river of tears burst out of me.
I noticed i was still holding the boquets i bought for her. When i walked back i saw a familiar figure. I hid behind a tree.

Surprisingly,i saw him..

My brother who is setting down freshflowers and an apple for my mom. my mom loved apples.

He stayed there for 5 minutes. I thought he was going to be dramatic,expectation fail.

After that he left the grave.I followed after him.

He got onto a car.wonder where that came from.

I followed him from a 50 minute ride. what the hell!

The street sign says "West Corner Street"

I see an apartment which looks to be quite expensive. I see him go in.

"HEY! ARIELLA!"

Crap!

"H-hey! C-Caleb!"

"Wazzerp! Ariella! haven't seen you in a while? did you & raph already made up?"

"Shhh! Shh!Caleb! shut up!"

"Hey! Raph!"

My brother turns around.

"Hey caleb! and..."

I wave at him awkwardly and flashed a huge awkward smile.

"Guess not."

"OF COURSE NOT,YOU IDIOT!"

"I'll be leaving now."

caleb runs off.

"Pothead!"

My brother faces me.

"Haven't seen you in a while."

"... yeah." he looks away from me while scratching his neck

"What!? are you pretending that you just hear a voice in your head? Keeton stop this! this is so immature! we aren't kids anymore! so...will you forgive...me?"

I can't believe that i have to be the one to say that! Ugh this brother of mine is so proud!

"I've forgiven you a long time ago."

"HA? then why haven't you spoken to me?"

"I got...kind of shy."

"You are so gay."

"Yeah. What are you doing here anyway?"

"Me? Oh! Oh! I was visiting somebody,n--n-near here. a university friend of mine for a project."

"Oh. Where does---"

"You know what! since we put the past behind us why don't you just let me in? I've been tired making the project mind offering me food or juice or something?"

"Sure."

"Holy Guacamole! nice place! Woahh! how did you afford all this?"

"After aunt natalie found out i ran away,she tried convincing me to come home or stay with her.psh,like i would stay with her and cousin elijah. i said no a lot of times,so she said she knows a nice place for me to stay in.i accepted since staying with caleb maybe a bother for his family."

"Oh.So,who pays the rent?"

"Me."

"Really?!" i say raising an eyebrow

"Okay,i pay half of it."

"Keeton!"

"What?"

"Instead of letting aunt natalie pay for all of this why don't you just come back to us?"

"No."

"Why?!"

"I want to forget everything."

"Mom?! You can't you know."

"I know that! What i meant was, i want to be by myself."

"For now?"

"Not exactly."

"So what you're saying is that you want to be free."

"That's the point and that involves not wanting to see dad and you."

I couldn't believe what he said.

"You are being selfish keeton windsor!"

"...that's what mom calls me when she's angry at me."

keeton never really takes serious conversations like this seriously. It started to become quiet.all i can hear is the running fountain backyard.

"Can i still visit?" i say breaking the awkward silence. our first ever awkward silence.

"..."

"Okay,i get it! I'm leaving!"

I hear him sigh on my way out.

"And by the way,dad misses you. we all do. just so you know."

I slammed the door. i was so angry i wanted to shout! how could he be so selfish and treat his family...us! like nothing!!!

I went home and straight to my room.

Knock,knock.

"Yeah?" i say while my head buried in my pillow.

"Ms.ariella.the boss says that we'd pack your bags."

"Right." I say

To be continued...

Chapter 4

I passed by our living room and saw what it seems to be the evil presence,aunt lorelei. 
The sight of her makes me sick. so i continued my way upstairs without knowing what her catty business is.i refuse to see her,i refuse to talk to her,i refuse to be a part of her life!

"Charles!" Screamed Aunt Lorelei

"How will you prove that you have a contract with Marie?" Shouts Dad

"I don't have to prove it i have a lawyer."

"It officially states that each of her siblings gets a sharing with the money she saved."

"That is absurd! marie never told me that!"

"Why would she tell you charles? you two are always fighting!"

"How dare you!i refuse to give it to you! Me and my daughter's future is in that bank and i will not allow it!"

"Talking like the big man you are charles,but let's see how much of a man you are."

"You have no mercy lorelei! you already killed my wife and now your taking away what she put in her hardwork and long hours of working!"

"I DID NOT KILL HER!"

"Why are you refusing to admit that you monster! you investment stealing monster!"

"My,My,My didn't mother in law teach you how to treat a lady?"

"But you are not a lady!"

"HOW RUDE OF!! you'll see charles! all that money in the bank will be gone and you will have zero amount left for your adopted daughter!"

I have heard rumors when i was a little. the maids would always gossip about how i was adopted.when i turned 10. my mother told us about it. i couldn't believe it since we kind of look alike but i learned children inherit the face of the one taking care of them or so i read in the internet. my reaction was...i never really cared. i was perfectly healthy,raised in a middle class family,studied in a private school,have food to eat and shelter. i don't curse my real parents though.i just didn't care about whether i was adopted or not all i cared was that i was living.
My brother didn't take it well though.
he sometimes asks me why did our real parents leave us. i tell him at least they didn't abort or dumped you.look! you're well fed and healthy.why do you wanna know about them anyway? they don't care about us.

whenever my mom and my brother had a fight he would use the "oh i'm adopted and you don't love me" drama. In this family my mother and little brother could be actors in a play. while my dad and i watch. we hate drama.Up to this day i bet he still doesn't accept it. 


I do.


I had to get my mind off things i can hear dad and the witch argue from the living room. it makes me wanna have a soundproof room.

I just logged online. since i didn't have anything else to do but wait for them to calm down so that i could sleep peacfeully.

"Hey! Ariella you free?" Jered says

"Yeah." *omg he's here. wait why am i getting goosebumps or butterflies again!

"Can i sit here?"

"Yeah sure! feel free!" I say

Jered sat by my side.

"But,I forgot to tell you..my friend sits there." I teased.

"Oh then i'll just.."

"I'm joking no one sits there"

Both of us laughed.

"So how's it doing?"

"Your talking to me like we haven't talked in ages."

"Well we haven't. we have different schedules remember?"

"Well you still see me and we talk right."

"Yeah." he smiles.

"I miss our old section. i say turning away from him."

"Me too."

*I haven't asked him about fiona. i shoudnt be interfering with other people's business. its better he tells that to me.

"Can i borrow your ipod?"

"yea here."

"Oh wow cool! you have regina shpektor."

"Yeah,of course. her songs are awesome."

"You wouldnt know her if i didnt' recommend you to her last semester."

"Ah of course,.my sim-ndie music recommending master."

"Yes bow down my servant." Jered says proudly

"Oh,but this lady never bows down to a master."

"Unfair! wait hey i like this part of the song."

"It's pretty right."

.......

"About.."

"hm?"

"about...f.."

"Ariella! Ricky is calling you." shouted kiefer *great ricky..great! you ruined my moment.. 

"What?" I say to ricky

"HAVE YOU HEARD?!! PROMISED EDGE IS COMING TO EASTWOOD SIM." Ricky says

Ricky is...i can't describe his gender if he's really male or just being gay. he's really addicted to sim-ndie music and he recommends the best music there is.

"Uh.yeah i have tix."

"SHUT UP! NO WAY!"

"I do! Presley gave them."

"For free?"

"FOR FREE."

"THAT"S SO UNFAIR I WANT ONE TOO!!!!!!"

"Sorry."

"Give it to me!"

"NO!!!~"

"UGH,JERED!! Ariella has tickets for Eastwood sim!!" Ricky shouted

"YOU TRAITOR!" Jered says

"Well,who's going to see Promised Edge live? ME IS." I say

"So unfair!!" Ricky slightly pouted.

"YEAH! sell that to us." Jered says

"NO! i seldom go to eastwood sim and will see P/E for the first time! SO N-O~" I say

"I'm so jealous!" Ricky complained

"I'll recommend some awesome sim-ndie songs just sell them to me!" Jered says pleading

"Nooo~" I say

"I'm your master." Jered says

"In recommending songs.not my life." I say

"Your being like that Ariella!" Jered pouts

"HOHOHOHOHO!"

"KIEFER!!!!!!!!!! she has tickets to P/E!"

"Grab her!!" Kiefer shouts

I ended up being chased by them around the campus and was in sweats when i got back to class.

*Ding

A message from Jered.
-Ariella your so unfair. :(

-K!
reply:Kdot.

"Ariella! stop texting and have dinner!"

"Yes,dad!"

"..."

*Why is it so quiet?

"Ariella as you know. your aunt lorelei dropped by."

"Yeah. So?"

"..."

"She emptied out the savings account of your mother."

"SHUT THE F...FRONT DOOR!"

"That wasn't the reaction i was expecting & our front door is always shut dear."

"No! I mean!HOW DARE SHE!!!"

"We can't do anything about it dear.tonight,pack your bags. we can't afford to pay for this house. we'll be moving."

"M--MOVING??? b-but...why havent u told me this when she dropped by!!!!"

"Ariella, it is not your concern! now finish your food!"

"And we shouldn't be paying this house. grandmother gave this to you! it's yours and your still paying grandpa?!!"

"That reminds me i'm going to ask for a downpayment from your grandpa."

"Dad! you can't keep paying him!he is your dad!!! this house is yours! why not fight for it?"

"Ariella..."

"First she kills mom and...and destroys our life! i'm done...i'm not hungry anymore!"

"Ariella Eli Windsor!!"

I ran outside as fast as i could not knowing where to go. 

Mom...if you were here. you would've never let this happen..you would've fought. i wanted to fight but i don't have the courage to do it mom..

I sighed.turned my phone off and hoping tomorrow that this feeling won't last.

Update

I've promised myself that i'd post every single day chapter by chapter. but my internet is being stupid. :| i can't download props for my simmies. i will post in some days because i'm having trouble with chapter 5,teehee. :3

Chapter 3

"This is so exciting!" Ivy says

"I know!!" I say

"Hey ariella!" Den says

"Ugh byron alert incoming!" Ivy says

What!? byron? I panic in my head

Byron is one of our blockmates.he thinks that i have a crush on him just because i only hang out with him on free time. yeah,right!

"Ariella!Guess what! i'm in the Annual S.U sports festival!" Byron says

"Great.-addded sarcasm- what team do you play? water boy?" I say

"No. basketball! be sure to go! okay?" Byron says

"Errr...i have something to do.so i don't know." I say

"You are such a party pooper! come on! leggo!" Byron says enthusiastically

"l'll think about it." I say

"Ok. i'll be expecting you!" Byron says 

"EW. Ariella. he is so into you." Ivy says

"IKR." I say

After an endless avoidment from byron like not replying to his text,simbook messages,calls or ignoring him went he wants to borrow a paint brush,he still talks to me!

"I say he likes you.A LOT." Den says 

"Like? you mean he's pleasing me because he THOUGHT i like him." I say

"Yiiiii" They both teased

"Girls.that is not cool! anyway catch you guys later i'm gonna have my literature class."

"Sure.see ya~" They both say

As i make my way into the hallway of my literature class i see jered talking to fia.

i quickly went into my literature room to see if the prof is there. just my luck...he's not. so i just sat beside of our literarure classroom door. from my peripheral vision i still see jered and fia talking.there obviously must be something going on here.so suspicious.

"Hey Ariella!!!!" Kiefer shouts

"Shhhhhh Kiefer!!" 

"What? why? what is it?" 

"See that?" I sneakily point to jered & fia

"Oh.yeah.why?...you jealous?" Kiefer smugs 

"Jealous? Pfft. NO! course not! how can i be jealous! he's not even my type!" I say shrugging it off

"Well you did had a thing together and went out." Kiefer says

"THAT WAS ONLY A MOVIE DATE." I defended. "Do you think they're together?"

"Well, fia does keep telling me how much he's into jered soooo maybe it's just a crush."

"It looks more than a crush to me."

"Jealous! Ariella is jealous!" Kiefer teases

"WHAT? No! i'm just curious! besides,i'm going to be happy for Jered if they end up together or someone other than me.."

"Really? You sure about that?" Kiefer says raising his left eyebrow

"Positively!"

"Ok." Kiefer smiles.

"What about you and the big S?" I ask teasingly

"Can we not talk about that please?" Kiefer says 

"See what your feeling with s is how i feel."

"So you admit that you feel hurt by Jered and fians."

"I'm going to go to my lit class now see you later,Kief!"

"Changing the subject ariel?"

"See ya Kief!" 

As i made my way in i try to avoid sitting next to Byron as much as possible! so, i sat next to axel who we all call slater. 

That's his nickname. 

"Hey Windsor!" 

"Hey Slater!" 

"Look.Byron is in the room."

"Axel stop it." 

"Let's call him!" 

Axel,is soooo my type but i kinda hate his lifestyle and his acts,well no guy is perfect. 

"OKAY! class! what did we learn last week?"

"Prose sir!" Sebastian says

"Good Sebastian!" 

"So prose..." 

Ahh Prof.Laurent is one of the reasons and my motivation for me to attend an 9:30 to 8pm class. He uses wits with inappropriate language at us which is good since his class is from 7pm to 8pm which makes us all tired and sleepy. 

"Heyyyy! Ariella!!!" Byron whispers 

Trying to ignore Byron

"AAAriella!!!" whispers Byron

Trying to ignore him.

"The guy sitting next to the girl with glasses! since you seem to have a crush on the girl with softball-tied-hair! 

You can freely tell the class what is that you want from her." 

"Uhh.."

"What's your name again *looks in the class list"

"Byron,sir"

"What? Brutus?"

The class laughs

"No,i'm just kidding!Okay,Brutus! if you can answer my question i won't let you embarass yourself."

"What are the 2 types of drama? In case you have been listening to my past discussions and making sure you're doing your assignments."

"Uhmmm..."

Byron stands up and obviously isn't thinking for answers but just making the prof. think he is thinking for answers.

"Brutus,is that how you think? Looking at a window in class? don't your other professors get eerie?" 

"No,i just."

"Okay! Sit down. what is it you want to tell Ms.Ariella?"

"Nothing,sir."

"Okay.Anyone can answer my question about the two types of drama? YES! sebastian again!"

"Comedy and tragedy."

"Good! Why is Sebastian only answering my questions? don't i have someone to talk to here? are you all souls and Sebastian is the only one alive in this room? do i have a class here?"

ALL: yes sir.

"GOOD!"

After literature class..

"Hi Ariella!"

"Hi Sasha!"

"Hey listen me,slater,jered and the others will go drinking! you should come with! my treat.*winks"

"No.I have to go home early. My dad'll get angry. you know family in crisis."

"Oh.poo! next time ok? ciao!" 

"Ciao!?" I say awkwardly

That was sasha,she likes and is still in like with jered. i feel she treats me as her rival after she dropped a line from the popular movie "No other sim" on me.got me thinking. i think she was literally saying it to my face that jered is hers.


Remember how i ask kiefer about s?

She and kiefer had a thing before,kiefer popped up the bugs on how she likes jered more. so they have an awkward relationship right now. i can't believe kiefer still hangs out with her. people never do learn.

Finally! i got home!

I feel an evil presence.

To be continued

Chapter 2

"OMG..It's Jered!" Ivy whispers gleefully.

"So..." 

"Hey Ivy! Ariel!" jered greets us

"Yo!" I say

"hey" ivy says.

"Why are you guys outside you don't have any classes?" Jered asks.

"We do! prof. baldy just went downstairs." Replied Ivy

"Coffee break?" Jered assumed.

"yeah." Ivy says

"So ariella..you doing alright?" Jered asks me with that gentle face of his.

"Fine & Dandy!~" I say raising my hands up being all energetic. 

"Well we have to go.You know,15 minutes." Ivy says.

"Ah..right!" Jered says

"okay see you later,Jered." Ivy waves at him while i give him a smile.  

" *Sigh. Isn't jered a cutie?" Says ivy with a dreamy tone.

"I dont get it. i dont get how you girls like him i mean he has nice hair but.." 

Me and jered had a thing before but i never worked it out with him because i felt like having a boyfriend hinders everything in your life! the last time i had one i failed 3 subjects and never gotten over him for like 2 years.

"He's cute." Ivy says

"Not mah type. you mean he looks like the beaves. and you know how i hate mainstream people." I say.

"Well you know what they say the more you hate the more you love." Ivy commented.

I shrugged it off.

Lunch break

"Hnngg my hands!!! my hands!!" Cried Den

"Prof. baldy is sooo pushing us to our limits." Ivy says. 

It's always like this after 3 hours of intense drawing with prof. gould who we call baldy (because he wears a fake wig) we are tired to our souls.

"Hey what happened to you guys?" Pres Asks

"Hey pres." Den says with a slumpy voice.

Presley is like the goddess of drawing she is always perfect in our major subjects. 

"our hands...they're shaking" Ivy says.

"I feel numb!" I say.

"mine doesn't." Pres says

"You art monster!" Ivy says

Pres smiles "Anyway guys i have tickets for 4 people to the art gallery in Eastwood sim with free concerts from the famous sim band Promised Edge!"

"HOLY BUTTERFLIES!!" Ivy gasps

"that is like the most expensive art gallery in the whole Simtopia!" Says Den

"and not to mention PROMISED EDGE!! OMG OMG!" I Say

"Let's go let's go!" Says Ivy

"Count me in!" I say waving my hands up in the air like a maniac

"I can't believe it we're gonna see some famous works plus the most famous band in the ENTIRE SIMSPHERE!!" Says Den

"I KNOW RIGHT!!" Says Ivy

"When is it?" I ask

"It's on may 5th saturday at 8pm. 3 weeks from now!" Pres says Gleefully.

"psyched!!" Shouts Ivy

Thoughts

Yay! new blog! again!
So yeah,i can't post a story on the sims resource website for i don't know what reason or because my internet sucks as hell.
I get so pissed when i think about it.
Anyway, i decided to make a blog for it,because i never ignore ideas in my head.

STORY:
an 18 year old girl named Ariella,has been living in her past.until she meets her room mate,Mirit.
