Chapter 1.1

Oh my fucking plumbob, I can hear you from my room, mother. I swear, if I wasn't waiting on this acceptance letter, I would be gone. You're probably wondering why I am putting up with it. I'm not. I turned 18 yesterday, and am waiting for the email from my school so I can hop on a plane to Sulani and leave this hell-hole I once called home. Actually, it hasn't been home since Ms EasyLay got knocked up over winter break.

I should start from the beginning while I boot up my PC. My name is Angel Oceana. Or, as it says on my current paperwork, Angel Nagini. I officially got my name changed for my birthday yesterday, so I can disappear. For thirteenteen years, I have lived in Chestnut Ridge. I am the oldest of currently three, soon to be four, or five. I don't know how many she will spawn when she is done.

My birth mother was called the Siren of De Sol Valley. Yumi Oceana was the biggest thing in music, and she knew it. Everyone knew it. And she had the reputation for being the biggest man thief as well. She slept with Landgraab, Alto, Goth, and many others. You name the big family, she probably slept with them. I am honestly surprised she didn't end up with more kids than what she has. It was all over the news when she pulled Thorne Bailey into a photobooth one day.

His social media was blown up and he was thrown for a huge scandel. I mean, I feel bad for the guy, but he got in there willingly with her. I have no proof that he is my father, and Yumi won't admit it, but I am pretty certain as the time checks out. I have no interest in tearing that poor family apart more than my sex-crazed mother did. Honestly! Look at that photo from the Paparazzi! She looks like she is about to eat him up.

Nine months after she destroyed his life, I was born. She was too busy being a loose celebrity to properly raise me so she hired this woman named Eleanor Sullivan to be my nanny. I was about a year old when the police records state she decided my mother was unfit to raise me, which she was, and took me away to Brindleton Bay. I remember living with her when I was very young. Aparently the police caught her when I was five and arrested her.

I was reunited with my mother who had twin three year olds. Aparently not long after, Eleanor had died in prison. Sad. She was the nicest mother I knew. I grew up with my siblings, Alex and Alice. To say I hated my family was putting it wrong. I loved Alex and Alice, but I despised Yumi. Yumi replaced me, and then when she finally got me back, we moved to Chestnut Ridge so she could play house for a little longer.

"So you're really leaving huh?"

I nearly jumped out of my chair. I had zoned out and put on a lets play when Alex came in.

"Yeah, so?"

"You're going to break Mom's heart."

"I don't give a shit."

"You're breaking our hearts then."

"And? None of you were supportive in what I wanted when you all got to be special and unique. Not only are you unique in normal standards, but you inherited her mermaid abilities. So, excuse me for wanting to be a normal sim, wanting to live away from supernatural sims."

"That hurt sis...."

"So fucking what? It hurts that you guys won't be supportive of me. I have to sacrifice and be supportive of you all, but not the other way around?"

"But-"

"Get the fuck out of my room Alex."

I know what I said was harsh. I know it was out of anger. But I was hurt. They both found out they shared Yumi's mermaid gifts when they turned fourteen. I found out I would never have that. The most unique I was, was being a "bi-sexual" goth teen sim. So unique. So I was a wallflower. They got to be special. They got to be supported. I didn't mind supporting them. No one said I was not allowed to feel hurt, I never acted on it. I was still their big sister.

What was the last straw was, the week of graduation, I told them I was moving out and going to Foxbury. Instead of support, I got them begging me to stay close and go to Brightchester, which was only a thirty minute drive away. They were against every argument I made. Foxbury had the better Biology program, Brightchester had a better Language Arts and Music. Foxbury had the scholarships, Yumi offered to pay for my college, I refused. Foxbury had employment opportunities in my dream drop, botany, Brightchester had employment opportunities in Music, what Yumi wanted.

I could see Alice's tears as I walked past with my suitcase. Alex ignored me, hand on our sister's back, rubbing it as she silently sobbed. They chose to ignore me, I chose to ignore them. Yumi put on a whole act, wailing and calling me a horrible daughter for abandoning her as she was so close to her due date. She needed me there for her so she could raise her babies and so her older babies could go off to college.

I halted. For the first time, I could see the shock in Alex and Alice's faces as I turned coldly to Yumi. She realized what she had said and tried to back peddle.

"I need you to go to college here, baby...."

"Yumi. Do everyone here a favor. Get your tubes tied, put the babies up for adoption, jump into the ocean, and fuck off with the dolphins."

"Ange-"

"Do not. Say my name. I am no longer your concern. I am not your daughter. You took me from the only mother who cared about me. And for that, I will never forgive you."

I didn't stay to hear her wails. The taxi door slammed behind me just as her shriek escaped the ranch. I was exhausted. "Airport." I handed over a few simoleons and closed my eyes, letting myself relax in the cab as I drove away from the place that had been my personal prison for thirteen years. Slowly I opened my eyes and took a breath. I would let myself have this one moment.

I turned in my seat and looked back. The smoke coming up from the chimney made my heart hurt. They would be okay without me. I wasn't needed there. Alex would go on to be a champion horse rider. Alice would open up her veterinary office and have all the cats she could get her hands on. Her and Molly would marry and the three of them would have fifty kittens to watch over on their own ranch.

The flight took twelve hours with a short stop in Brindleton Bay. I didn't have time to get out and see the sights but I said a soft farewell to the woman who gave me peace for four short years. Yes I know its weird to be happy that a woman kidnapped me from my celebrity mother. But when your hearing the moans of your sex-crazed mother on a nightly basis, and know she is just one bad date away from giving you more siblings, you look for an escape.

The house I am renting is small. It had two rooms, a bedroom, kitchen, small eating area, and overlooked most of the island. I was away from the lagoon, which I was happy for. With mermaids as family, I wasn't too keen on swimming. I prefered to stay out of the water. I dropped off my suitcase and checked my school schedule. One week before school started. I better start getting supplies.
