Chapter 2: Welcome To Tully
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

Chapter 3: Home Sweet Home
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

Chapter 4: Life Is Too Raw Sometimes…
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

Chapter 6: The Family Is Her
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

Chapter 8: The Storm
Tasmine’s POVI make my way upstairs into the lounge waiting for Dad to join me, how am I going to keep this from him? He seems to know everything, how far do I want to push it with him? He walks into the house, locking the door behind him. He walks towards me, it’s like he’s trying to keep his face clear of any emotions which are scary.“Right, now do you remember what I said about boys?” He asked, “Ok, you had said no boys,” I replied quietly, trying to work out where he was going with this, doing my best not to be scared. “You broke the rules Tasmine, Noah has been punished for his part, I am angrier than a cut snake!” He snapped.But I am too stunned by what he just said, “A what?” I was confused, “Angrier than a cut snake!” He snapped, “Right?” I said, still confused, that this is a new one, must be a fair North Queensland thing, “Major rule breaking the punishment is the removal of your comfort in your room.” He said calmly. “What? The hell does that mean?” I snapped at him. “Ex

Yooou thinkkk Imm beautiful?” I stutter, why the hell am I stuttering? “Yes, I find you are very beautiful, even when you stumble on words.” He said with a smirk on his face.“That’s not funny, shoo I don’t want my dad to see you! I’ll text you ok.” I said, trying to hurry him off, with an eyebrow up in surprise, “You do not have my number.” He said, oh right dumbass, I quickly looked around to see what dad was doing, I couldn’t see him. I quickly found a dirt patch and wrote my number on the ground taking off back to the house as nothing had happened, halfway up the stairs my phone buzzed, a text from him. I smiled. “Food’s ready, why are you smiling like that?” Dad asked me.“uh like, what?” Play stupid Tasmine, “What you are doing right now.” He stated,

Chapter 10: The Trap
Tasmine’s POVOh, crap Uncle James is here! Shit he's going to tell my dad now. “This is not what it looks like Uncle James,” I said trying to think on the fly and I think I failed big time. I am normally a smart girl but right now nothing. “Tasmine, you think I was born yesterday? It is exactly what it looks like.” He said, shaking his head, “Oh, please don’t tell Dad!” I whispered. “No, I’ll be telling my brother, you can deal with the fallout as you clearly know what you're doing is against what he has told you.” He said as he looked into my trolley confused.“How are you planning on getting all that home?” He asked, “It’s the list my dad gave me,” I said, he started to laugh, “He knew what you were up to kiddo,” My uncle said laughing, he couldn’t stop laughing, as we looked on in confusion. “What now?” I asked, he finally stopped laughing, “It’s what he used to do, and that’s the same list mum would give him.” Oh, fuck I am in trouble, bigger than I thought.“Oh, man...” I groane
