NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS

Emily's POV "Mum, still can't believe we are relocating!.... I kinda like it here." I said to mum; still sitting on my bed with my legs crossed like the Monks. It is not medically advice able for me to sit like that but I just find myself doing so. "Don't worry baby, you are gonna love the new neighbourhood. We've got neighbours and you can start school again, too." Mum replied with an assuring smile; while arranging my things in a big carton. “But mum, can you tell me a little about there?” I scoffed my forehead. “There is nothing to say, just when you reach there, you will tell if it okay or not!” Mum replied, folding one of my pant. Not my undies but trousers, lol. I still do not feel comfortable, and I can't tell why either. “Terry, come over soon, we are almost done here!” Mum shouted, she knew Terry would hear her. In less than a minute, Terry shouted back from outside, “I have heard you! I will come over, let me get this stupid fridge into the truck first.” I have got to think about things a little. I don't think I can do that! I mean, going to school again. Do not get me wrong! It is not like I do not want to get educated or something, it is just that I hate stares! Being on a wheelchair, eyes will always watch my every movement. It makes me feel like, am an alien or a human with a strange structure. Mum is done packing my stuffs. And just now, Terry walked in! He is really good at timing! I love my elder brother a lot, but he is always too protective and it makes me wanna fight with him, at time.But, haha haha, I wouldn't dare!! Terry is too handsome, kind and damn intelligent. If he wasn't my brother, something might be going on between us. Chemistry..... Wink! "You okay?" He asked, after sitting me on the wheelchair. He carried me like I had no weight at all. I flap my head, mumbling my answer, “Yeah!” He drove me out of my room and gently through the stairs! Well, the truth is that, we are relocating because of me. The stairs are makes it alot more difficult for me to move around the house, and the doors entrance are small for the wheelchair to pass through and I will always need an assistance. This is actually making it the fourth house that didn't match well; it's not even up to a year we relocated here and now, we are relocating again. Dad, informed me the other night, that the new house is suitable for me to move around, because he had measured the entrances and also there are no much stairs available. Terry pushed me to the car and sat me on a chair at the back of the car, while dad walked back into the house to carry my n***d bed. You should know what I meant by n***d bed, lol. I guess this is a new beginning for me! Like seriously, am beginning to feel an unsure pain in my abdomen. I turn to look through the window; only to see mum staring at me, so lost in thought and I wonder what was going through her mind. When our eyes met, she gave a smile and blew a kiss to me. Haha haha! Mum is cool, but that is, sometimes! Everything is set and right now, we are on our way to the new house. A new environment, new house, new faces, new life too. s**t! Why do I act like it's our first time relocating? Or is it because mum mentioned neighbors? Emily, get a hold of yourself! You are acting so stupid...! Dad is driving the truck while Terry is driving daddy's SUV. We are driving into a street! Mum then turned to face me from the front seat, "We are close, honey!" She said with a grin, I can sense somewhat excitement. I smiled back! Still looking out through the window, the neighborhood is good and it looks like alot of rich individuals lives here. Some children playing outside, abruptly stopped and began to stare at us. A kid got so carried away, that a friend of his push him to hit a girl I suspected to be his crush. The pushed boy hit the little girl and he got mad. The one who pushed him and the others where laughing. Without mind, he first helped the girl up before going after the boys. Even while our car continued to move, I still turned back to see the boy's reaction. Haha haha! Those children are funny! Smiling... Dad stopped, followed by Terry. I saw, Terry rushed out of the car to go help dad with the necessary things. And mum gave out a sigh before she opened the door, " Our new home!". I heard her say in a whisper. Is she excited or not, that I was not sure of. She just stood at the door, staring down at the house. I wanted to see the house as well. I could see it but not well enough, so i moved to the other side of the empty seat and looked the window, so as to take a look at it and I did. Dope! This house is damn beautiful! I guess this is it, my new home!.... Gosh! This house is lit! “Wait, let me get the wheelchair so you can look around and also get a better view of the house in and out. Like I told you, you will love the house.” Mum said, pointing out to the things she mentioned, before she walked to the back of the car, so as to get the wheelchair from the boot. Mum helped me into the house. The best part about the house is that, I can enter any where with little or no stress. But the house needs cleaning and I really wish I can be of help as well. Right now, they are arranging my things in the room, I picked. Well, I choosed the room opposite that of our closest neighbors, that is because of it great viewing spot! It enables me to see people, cars and also enjoy the refreshening breeze from that direction. In between the two buildings, there are little flowers planted like a flower garden, it is such an amazing sight from the window and I loved it. To add, the room was large too, so I can move with ease around the room. "Emily, where are you?" I heard dad call out me and it brought me back to real life. I forgot I've been in the kitchen for way too long. I have even forgotten how I entered in the first place. "Dad, am in the kitchen!" And in less than two minutes, dad walked right into the kitchen with his two hands buried in his pocket! "Baby, you scared me!" He brought out one of his hand and stroke his fingers through his hairs on his head. Dad, is very handsome with his dark hair and cute eyes, no wonder mum could not resist him. Haha haha...! "Hey Dad, am okay and am not a kid anymore, just because am tied to this wheelchair does not mean I can not do some things i wish to or take care of myself. It's not like I am going to get kidn*pped inside this manson or kill myself.....Am okay!" He walked up to me, bent and planted a french kiss to my forehead. "Daddy loves you alot!" I heard him whisper. Oh Lord! Goo-sse.....bumps! Everyone is still busy since we arrived, well, that includes, myself. I have arranged somethings I know I can and now my room is back but better! Just at the window side, enjoying the fresh air, when a car that looked like a Range Rover Sport is seen parking at the front of our neighbor's parking lot. Like I said earlier, I am able to see what is going on outside, from my room. With the rays of light coming from the street lights, the person that stepped out of the car looked very young. Can not really see his face well enough, because it is night but I bet he is cute! Awwwn! Shit! He looked towards my direction. I hurriedly moved the wheelchair back with my heart, beating very fast. I climbed on to my bed and collapsed, letting my back bounce on the bed and it bounced me back up alittle. Lol, I was almost caught! it felt like I just escaped from the hands of a giant, all by myself. Haha haha! I am so so crazy! No one needs to tell me that. I know! He is just my fellow human being; yeah, I know that, but of an opposite s*x. Can not talk anymore about him, right now, I am extremely hungry, tired and sleepy. I turned to look at my clock, it is just 7:34pm. I will try not to sleep too deep. Yawns...
