Book 1

Chapter 30: Things Aren’t The Same

Oh my gosh, I know what my dad meant by what he had said. He thought that I can’t handle New York or my job and that’s why I came back. Well, he’s wrong, he wouldn’t let me finish talking before he had to buy in and assume that I can’t handle it. Well, I’m telling him and my mom how it is. He has got me so angry that I’m going to start yelling here soon.

“Dad, you are totally wrong, I love New York and I love my job! It‘ s the best thing that ever happened to me! I’m coming back here to live, I wanted to come back and visit with you guys and I wanted you to accept me and my work!” I spoke loudly.

“Star, we had told you before that we will never accept the work you do,” My dad replied.

“Well, if you can’t do that for me, your own daughter, I guess you don’t have a daughter anymore,” I said.

“Star, don’t talk like that,” my mom said.

“If you guys can’t accept me and like what I do then I’m done!” I replied.

“What happened with you and Sam? He’s worried about you,” My mom asked.

“I broke up with him a while ago,” I replied.

“He thinks you guys will get back together, so you better have a talk with him,” My mom said.

“I might and I might not. So, I came here to visit. It’s obvious that you guys aren’t happy with me so I’m going back to New York in the morning,” I replied.

“You do what you have to Star,” My dad said.

When my dad said that, I knew I was not welcome there anymore. My dad is such a prick about this. He has no idea that my life is way better in NY than here, there is nothing in

Nebraska for me. I just lost all respect for my parents and I can‘ t wait to get out of this house. They think I have to contact Sam, well, I don’t because we broke up months ago. I’m not listening to them, I don’t have to anymore, I’m not a little girl.

OMG, I’m so angry right now! Do they really think that they can still tell me what to do! They are wrong. My parents know I’m mad because, after our conversation, I stormed out of the kitchen and went up to my old bedroom and called John. I pushed my chair in so hard that it hit the table and I’m sure it left a mark.

John told me to be ready early in the morning, his driver will pick me up and take me to the airport to get on his private jet.

It’s just not the same here anymore. This is not where my life is, my life is in New York with John and my modeling career! I’m in shock that my parents aren’t happy for me, I even just won an award for my modeling. My parents are so wrong about my life, they act like this is some type of horrible thing I’m doing, and it’s not, this is the best thing i’m doing for myself right now and they will not change my mind about it. When I leave in the morning, I’m not even gonna say goodbye to them. If they are going to act stupid about this, then I have no time or concern for them.

They got me all in an uproar and can’t let them do this to me, I

have a career to worry about. Especially since I got picked to be in the biggest show ever, I’m not going to let them stress me out, no way! I laid in bed until I fell asleep, even though it was early, I did not want to be around my parents. I couldn’t wait to leave in the morning, I had to get away from them, they were just bringing me down and this had to stop.

THE NEXT MORNING:

I woke up early and left my old home, thank god! I couldn’t wait to get out of that place and leave my parents. Our driver picked me up and took me to the airport. Once I got on the jet, I became so relieved that I’m heading back to New York. I’m never going back to Nebraska. The whole time while I’m on this jet, the thoughts are racing through my head, just about what happened with my parents and them telling me I should contact Sam, how they think this is a horrible job and how they disown what I’m doing makes me so angry. I’m going to have to get out of this funk before I arrive back in New York and I must not let John see me this way.

I’m glad Leila moved to New York with me, she supports me and she always will. She believes in me and what I believe in with my career. This is my dream come true and my parents will not ruin this for me.

UGH… I’m done thinking about what they said to me! If I keep thinking like this then that means I let them get the best of me and that will not happen, so the rest of the flight home, “wow, that’s the first time I called the mansion home!” I started to think about what John and I could do when I got back.

Maybe a nice dinner then a swim! Then maybe hop in the hot tub. All I know is that I can’t wait to get back to him.
