A Life Of Lies

It's a windy summer night. My Mum, younger brother Easton, and I have been traveling for days. Finally, we arrived at our new house. I parked in the driveway. We sat staring at the beautiful big house for a few minutes before the silence was broken. "It's huge," Easton said happily "Wait until you see your new bedroom," Mum replied On hearing these words. Easton jumped out of the car and walked over to the front door. "I know your life hasn't been easy following me from town to town. I promise you. No more hotel, small apartment and no more sleeping in the car. We are home." Mum said as she grabbed my hand tightly. Taking her back to a memory she wish she could forget. A fourteen years old girl trying to get away from her step dad. Running out of the bedroom into the living room "Mum, Mum Help" She yelled fighting her step dad. In the corner of her eye she notice her mum is on the lounge nodd off from drugs and wasn't going to help. The step dad got hold of her and tried to remove her shirt is trying take advantage of her once again. Fighting her way out of her step dad hand. She grabbed a knife of the coffee table and pulled it on her stepdad. Before she got the chance to get him. He grabbed the knife out of her hand slicing her palm open. Blood heavy pouring out. She tried running out of the trailer shed. Tripping over power cords a flower vase smashed on the ground. "Your mine, don't ever thing different." Step dad shout as he leaned down to grab her. "Mum, Help help," she yelled and in seconds the step dad was on top of her trying to take her clothes off. In the corner of her eye she grabbed a bit of the broken vase and stabbed it in the stepdad guts. She ran out hiding. "You b***h, Casey. Get back here" Step dad yelled She left the trailer park and jumped on the bus and got off at the last stop. "Come on," Easton shouted out, Bring mum back to reality. "Okay okay, We are coming," I replied Getting out of the car. Mum hands me the house keys. Mum and I walk over to Easton I put the key in the key lock hole. "Let's do it together, on three." I said We all put our hands on the key and door handle. We counted down. "Three. Two. One." We shouted together unlocking the front. The door swung open revealing a beautiful big white staircase leading upstairs to the bedrooms. Easton ran up the stairs to check out his new bedroom to his shock he saw seven closed bedroom doors and two bathroom doors open. Downstairs Mum and I are admiring the new furniture. "What do you think? Do you like it?" Mum asked "It's beautiful, and big." I replied looking around the house. "That's good, I'm glad you like it. You're gonna like your room even more. I'm gonna head upstairs to check on Easton to see if he found his room. Are you coming?" Walking up the staircase. All seven doors have been pushed open. "Easton" Mum called out. "Yeah, In here," Easton replied walking out of his bedroom holding a bunch of toys. "How do you like your new room? Mum asked walking into Easton bedroom "I Love It. Thank you heaps" Easton said grateful "I Love you too. I love you both. Go check your bedroom out, The one on the far right. Mum said I walked out of Easton's room. Down the hall to the door on the far right. "Why are there so many bedroom?" I asked from a distance. "All in good time it will be revealed." Mum replied from a distance Entering my new room. I notice all the new beautiful furniture. In shock, I froze in pouring happiness. "Do you like your new room?" Mum said enter behind me "It's amazing. Thank you." I replied " You haven't even seen the best part yet," Mum said, opening the walk-in wardrobe doors. In shock, words wouldn't come out of my mouth. The wardrobe was a little apartment. It had a fancy bathroom at the end of the wardrobe with fancy clothing racks on both sides holding clothing and shoes. It has a private dressing room. A Hair and make-up area. Jewelry is placed perfectly in the drawers. A couple of fancy handbags, backpacks, and sunglasses. It even had a fancy lounge and coffee table with a 42-inch TV. "I'm gonna head to bed. Can you take the rubbish out? Don't be up too long, School tomorrow " Mum said exiting my bedroom. "Easton, Bedtime now. First day at your new school tomorrow. You need plenty of rest. "Okay Easton replied Mum and Easton head off to bed. After a long day of driving and moving. I jumped into the shower and had a nice hot wash. I got dressed for bed and when an took the rubbish out. I noticed my neighbour around my age male climbing in his bedroom window. He seems sad. He noticed me. He sight a small waved holding a joint in his hand and added half a cheeky smile and continued climbing in his window. I signed a small waved back then when to lay down in my bed and in seconds fell into a deep sleep. In the distance music was softly playing. Laying in bed can't sleep another memory. A young teenage girl walking alone lost, scared and cold. Its really early in the morning not sure what to do. No more buses until 8.oclock that morning. Standing at a gas station counting the only change she had. A stanger female walked over. "Girl, I think you need some advice." "If you get yourself a bee, sting it before it sting you." "I see you have a bee" "What's your name?" Looking around, I see a road sign, " Uh, Mia" I replied quietly "What are you doing out here this time of morning." "Do you have someone to go?" No Answer. "Come, you can stay with me, I'm Sammy." Sammy said walking over to the hotel. Looking around the street. Lost and Not sure. I looking at the coins in my hand "No enough for a hotel." I thought to myself "Are you coming? " Sammy asked She slowly walking over to Sammy. Coming back to reality. Mia try to fall asleep focusing on the relaxing music.
