What Happens When You Fall Off

Jenny’s POV

High school, they say it’s the best four years of your life, whoever said that wasn’t wrong. It was the end of sophomore year and I was glad to have the best boyfriend any girl could ever ask for; Liam Southgate.

His thick tousled blonde hair, his expressive blueish eyes, with an athletic build, an easy confident smile and a luscious British accent. Standing at an impressive 6ft tall, he possessed a striking handsomeness that captivated everyone around him. And I was glad to call him mine.

Here at Kingston Southgate Academy, you had to be stupidly rich, have buttloads of connections, or you had to be smart to get in. Fortunately, me and my friends all fall into the first category, we had stupid rich parents.

For summer, my dad sponsored I and my friends vacation at the Amalfi Coast in Italy.  That alone boosted my reputation at school, everyone wanted to know how it felt to be friends with Jenny Parker.

“Okay everyone, time for some yacht pictures..” I said delightfully as I signaled everyone to join me in my photo.

“Then some pictures with my lover boy,” I teased Liam with a broad smile on my face.

“The pleasure’s all mine for the taking,” he said as he joined me in my photo. He showered me with kisses as we took each photo. Couple of the summer, I captioned as I posted on Insta.

Eventually, summer was over and we had to fly back home. My dad and siblings patiently waited for me at the airport, first time they ever did that. Before, it would’ve been our driver…

“What happened, missed me too much?” I said bubbling with excitement.

“Honey…” my dad chuckled and then hugged me ever so passionately.

“We didn’t miss you at all, didn’t even know you were gone.” Danny said indifferently.

“Yeah, dad forced us to come.” Sabrina said.

Danny and Sabrina were like twins, just that Danny was a year and a class older than Sabrina.

“Now come on, show your sister a little bit of affection, will it kill you two?” My dad said.

“Yes father, literally.” Sabrina retorted.

I chuckled then I said, “Well, while you two were busy doing whatever, I had the best time of my life in Italy.” I tried to make them jealous.

“We saw…” Danny said while rolling his eyeballs.

“And couple of the summer, don’t you think that’s a little too, far fetched.”  Sabrina said enviously.

“Someone’s jelly..” I sang.

My dad then urged us to stop with the clap backs and get into the car. In the car, we were all singing and vibing to a MJ song when my dad got a call, the call that changed my lifestyle forever.

“…yeah, okay, sure. I’ll be there Monday morning sharp.”

My dad’s mood abruptly changed after that call, it was evident. I sat right next to him in the car, so I could tell.

“Dad, what it is, you stopped singing.” I asked, concerned.

“It’s nothing sweetheart, I’m just tired. You know, work and all that stuff..” he lied.

“Okay, if you say so,” I said then I turned up the volume and continued vibing to MJ.

I was so excited for Monday, my junior year starts then. Danny’s freshman year began and Sabrina was an 8th grader, the last stage of middle school. So therefore, we had to for a shopping spree. New clothes, for a new session. It was chaotic but worth it.

“That’ll be three hundred thousand dollars please. Cash or card?” the cashier said.

“Card,” I said as I gave the cashier my dad’s card.

We got back home to find dad rummaging the whole place, questioning the maids and butlers, with anger and frustration.
