Tasmine’s POVI wake up with my arm throbbing in pain, fucking hell! It’s my second day at a new school. I shouldn't call in sick that soon. Dad walks into the room and sits on the bed looking at me. “Hey Kiddo, how are you this morning?” He asked, I groaned out, “It’s throbbing, I shouldn’t take time off in my first week at a new school dad.” I grumbled, but all I want to do is sleep. “You sure? Because you can stay home with your grandma or me?” He offered.I try to give him the best brave look on my face. “Let me take some painkillers and see how I go,” I said. I don’t think he bought what I just said, “Ok,” Dad said softly, I looked at him worried, “How good are you at putting hair up?” I asked, “You’re asking me?” he said, shocked and looking very scared. “I’ll get your grandma to do it hey.” He said, I want to laugh, but I need painkillers first.“Ok thank you,” I whispered.I walk into my room getting my uniform and clean underwear, then hit the kitchen for my pain killers, and
Tasmine’s POVHi, I am Tasmine Kelly, I’m a sixteen-year-old girl. Four days ago, I thought I was an orphan. Instead, it turns out my sperm donor has a heart and now wants me to live with him. Not in Brisbane oh no in the small town that he popped up from! What better way is there than to rip a young girl from her only home mere days after her mother was buried and ship her off more than half a state away from a place she had called home?As he continued to drive as he felt it was better to drive half of Queensland instead of flying, it was a great way for him to get to know me. I was quite happy staying with my mum’s best friends, but nope he must step in and become a father suddenly. Sixteen years he had a chance to get to know me, hell he could have stepped in and helped me look after my mother who was fighting cancer, but he didn’t, now he wants me to live with him?I am not a crazy person who jumps on a ride with a stranger, I know who he is. After mum had died, I ended up findin
Tasmine’s POVI feel someone shaking me, no I don’t want to wake up just yet, five more minutes. “Tassie wake up, it’s time to go.” My dad’s voice fills my ears as I groan, pulling the blankets over my head tighter, “No! Five more minutes!” I yelled out at him, he pulled back the covers, “Sorry we need to go.” He replied.I groaned out, “Fine I’m up!” I snapped, he seemed to be happy with my response as I threw the blankets off me. “Good, go get cleaned up and pack up.” He said using his dad’s voice, I mumbled my reply, “Fine.” I head towards the bathroom and start getting cleaned up, once dressed I head out. I chose to wear comfortable clothing today I have my maroon Ramones t-shirt with short jeans and converse shoes, I find dad sitting down on the end of the bed waiting for me, he’s wearing a moss green tight-fitting plain t-shirt with ripped dark blue jeans, his tattoos all on show, I’m guessing he has a lot more under his clothes, so he must be a little relaxed on rules.I quickl
Tasmine’s POVI grabbed my backpack and followed him into the house, ok cool not bad I thought, he knows how to clean so that is a good thing. He has kept all of the lovely Queenslander period items throwing into the rooms casual comfortable furniture, photos, artworks, and concert photos all over the big walls, wow he knows how to have fun, if he wasn’t my dad I would have said he is cool.“Come on in I will show you to your bedroom,” Dad said as I followed him into my room as I froze holy crap really? It was pink everything, and very princessy and so not me at all, I think I would be sick if I had to stay in this room. He really was not joking about it being pink and a small bed. I am very glad we had gone shopping before we got here.“Oh, um wow it’s very pink and small. Also, ridiculously small in size, is there another room I could have?” I asked hopefully, he looked like he wanted to laugh but also have the child he missed back in that room. I get it, but I would feel too suffoc
Tasmine’s POVI watched as Noah walked into the room past my dad and sat down in the spot he was just in, he looked upset. Why does he look upset? “Tasmine I am sorry, for what they had done.” He whispered, I sniffled, whipping my nose, “Don’t be sorry for what other people have done.” I whispered back.“I’m also sorry about your mum.” He whispered, I put my hand up to stop him, “Please... don’t.” I said softly, he gave me a sad smile, “Ok, I won’t.” He agreed, I motioned for him to join me on the bed. He was a bit nervous to join me, I grabbed his hand pulling him up onto the bed towards me. We both sat up, I wrapped one of his arms around me as I lay my head onto his chest crying more than I thought I would, he held onto me tighter while rubbing circles on my back.I am normally not the girl to be this close with someone I just met but I feel like I have no choice in that matter as I know no one in this town well enough, and I need comfort right now. “I’m just going to say this, you
Tasmine’s POVIt’s one of those mornings where you want to sleep in but no one lets you, Lee was very keen for us to leave the house before seven-thirty in the morning, he is lucky I am even up this early on a weekend, which I know it’s not the weekend just yet but it sure feels it to me right now.I got dressed in one of my mother’s favourite outfits for me, a white dressy singlet, that I had teamed up with my high waisted pastel pink short shorts, with my mum’s colourful sheer chiffon retro floral batwing shawl baggy kimono, with the matching necklace that my mum bought me when she found the pants, I know I am angry at her right now but she did have a good sense in fashion.Walking out of my room towards where dad was waiting for me he looked up from his phone and right away I knew I was in trouble. “Oh, you are not wearing that today!” He snapped at me, I glared at him, “Nothing wrong with this! My mum bought me it and this is hers!” I snapped at him, I glared at him as I swished t
Tasmine’s PovAs we girls headed towards a private area under the house I spotted Noah flying down the front steps, racing towards his house, I called out to him, “Oi! Noah!” He didn’t even stop to look at me, I know he heard me. Why is he ignoring me?What am I to him?What we just did meant so little to him?Nope, I need answers from him, holding my hand up to my cousins. Am I this needy because of what just happened to my mother? I think so…“Hold up girls, I will be right back,” I said, as I raced off from under the house heading towards Noah’s house, knocking on the front door, his older sister opened the front door and smiled at me. “Oh, you're Lee’s little girl Tasmine, nice to see you again. Here let me show you to Noah’s room.” She had a big grin on her face. She showed me where his room was, as she headed back to the lounge room to watch whatever it was, she was watching before I had knocked on their front door.I knocked softly on his bedroom door. “For the love of god Hann
Tasmine’s POVThe younger three Emma, Henry, and Liam run around playing, screaming, and laughing while Theo and Ava are chasing them, Amanda, Elijah, and I are in one of the cubby houses, watching them running around. “So, Amanda, are you single?” Elijah asked if I wanted to vomit right now. “Yes, and no we are not doing anything.” She snapped at him.“Ok, you only have to tell me once, so cousin what is it like living with Uncle Lee?” Elijah asked, with a smirk on his face. “So far ok, I guess,” I said. I don’t get a good feeling from him, it's creeping me out a little. “How are you doing after meeting your whole family?” he asks me, I let out a loud sigh, “Amazing, wished my mother had not taken off with me, wishing she left and left me here, would have loved growing up with you all, and in this house.” I said with a bitter tone to my voice.Amanda smiled at me, “Yes, I know, hey you know Uncle Lee has an outdoor cinema.” Amanda said with a big smile on her face, both I and Elijah
