Part 1: Episode 2

A day had passed and me and my Dad were still on the road, we had a lot of time to talk on what we were going to do when we got to the new place and how we were going to try to make ourselves much more happier after the trauma both me and him had been through.

I refused to go for therapy back at home because my mind had not been in the right space it was really hard for me back at home, our neighbors always wanted to show their empathy and pity towards me but I didn’t want that it made me feel like I wasn’t human, I mean at first I know humans are meant to be kind and all but that was it I just wanted the first few months for people to try to comfort me and I’d return back to a normal life but it didn’t seem that way at school, people were gossiping about me and some even tried to pretend to care making me seem like I was using my Mother’s death to use as an advantage. In reality the honest truth is the tragedy affected me too emotionally and financially we used to live in a High-middle class home but we had to cut cost so we had moved to a different place which was were I had been for roughly 10 years of my life and I was really familiar with that area “sigh”I said in my head absent minded forgetting I should be focusing on the road. “We’re here!” My Dad exclaimed “Maddie have you been lost in your head” he asked me as he noticed my shock when he said that we had arrived, I was still reflecting on those past days and the moments I had with my mother she was a kind and loving person. “Is this porta nouva?” I asked my dad because it did seem really nice and a little bit better than our old place “Yes!” He said giving a look that made me feel reaffirmed that I was safe here and we wouldn’t be having any trouble. My Dad then called his real estate agent to ask for the directions to our new home upon getting there I found out there were so many houses and the house was quite decent a little to big for only two people one might say but I liked it “this felt like the beginning of a fresh start” I said in my head finally Happy Me and my Dad could get a fresh start we both have needed for a long while it was finally good we got a change of environment.
