Framed

Chapter 2

Hi guys this is the next chapter to my story enjoy and please tell me what you think.

2 YEARS LATER

As i stood there searching for a new job I knew my life will never be the same. The dreams I had once upon a time were gone vanished into thin air. I don't understand what went wrong. They never believed I was innocent, even my family betrayed me. After a few months of living in a prison with nothing but the nightmares to haunt me the police found the culprit and let me free but my family and relatives didn't believe any of the things the police said. They still considered me as a threat and shame upon the the family so they threw me on the streets with nothing but my life. Yeah I know what your thinking how can any parent just throw their child on the streets? well mine did just that. So now I'm looking for not only a job but a place to stay.This is my life.

 It was getting dark so i started to walk towards a shop that was still open. As I started walking towards the shop I saw a figure in the far distance. Maybe its just my imagination I thought. when I reached the door small drops of water landed on me from the sky. I looked up to see it was raining.I opened the door and was immediately welcomed by the warmth of the fire burning nearby. There was no person in sight.

"Hello?? is anybody there." I called out but there was no reply. I looked around but there was nothing.

As I was about to head outside I heard a door creak. I snapped my head toward the noise and found a little girl with brunette hair and brown eyes standing their looking at me with a cute little frown on her face. "Hello What is your name?" I said with a small smile.

"Hello What is your name?" she said with a cheeky smile. I laughed. she was a very beautiful young girl. she looked around the age of 7.

"Well my name is Victoria but you can call me Tori" I replied.

"Oh OK Tori my name is Isabella but you can call me Bella" said Bella. " what are you doing here?".Your very pretty. I like your hair" she said touching my hair.

"Thank you sweetie" I replied softly. she giggled

"You are a very beautiful girl yourself" I said

"Mummy calls me beautiful too." she said giggling

"Where are your parents? I want to speak to them" I said with a smile

"Mummy is upstairs. Don't go away I'm calling mummy OK?" said Isabella before she ran up the stairs to call her mother.

"OK sweetie" I called out so she would hear.

I took this time to look around and find that it was a small cafe. I could see that everything about the cafe was i guess homey. It felt like home. I heard some voices at the end of the door. I was about to go and see what was going on when the door opened and out came a beautiful woman in her late thirty's with her long brown hair in a messy bun and she was wearing a long dress that reached her toes. But it was her eyes that stood out the most with an unusual grey colour. She had a warm smile on her face and up close you could tell she had a lot of stress.

"Hi my name is Victoria and I was just hoping that you let me stay with you for a while and get a job?" I asked

"Hello yes dear of course you can. Isabella just told me. she really likes you even though you just met. Also call me Marissa."

"Thank you so much. I could always help you around the cafe if you don't mind." I said

"That would be lovely thank you" said Marissa.

"No, thank you Marissa" I said "Where can I stay"

"We have a guest room next to Isabella's room you could stay there."said Marissa

"OK could you please show me the way" I said with a big smile on my face for I finally have somewhere to stay and a job too. I know that it may be perfect and great now, but there will be a time in my life, where I will have to meet my past again even if my future becomes better and I get that wonderful life I once had, I will never forget the mistakes I have made and how so many things affected my life ,which lead me here today but struggles make us stronger and our mistakes ,we learn from them and become a better person. They can come haunt me in my nightmares where I am defenceless but when I meet them in the future I will fight them even if it means dying. That is a risk I am willing to make, for I would rather die than see innocent lives suffer in front of my eyes.

"Come on Tori" said Isabella"You walk slower than a snail"

Me and Marissa laughed and followed her to the guest room where I would be staying until I get settled. I could just tell that we were going to be great friends.
