Lost

Chapter Four

After telling my dad everything we went for my things at my my aunt's home she wasn't mad but she was glad that my dad had me.

When we were going back he stopped at my step father's house to confront him of course he lied and my mother also denied I used to work and travel home with my step father which she will get in trouble for forcing a minor to work when my father was giving her child support.

They had a court date set for the other week for my mother to transfer custody to my dad so that meant that all the child support she was getting will stop and she will not get any money from my dad which she used to spend on my step father and my sisters. I didn't mind my sister's but a full was grown man hell no.It had to stop and I mean all of it .

But I always thought to myself if he could do me that will ve do that also to my sister's I mean their his but I wasn't the only one too.He had a friend that owned a bar and his daughter Shelliza used to go to school with me before high school and a day he was at the bar and he spotted her walking home she told me and he followed her home and tried to molest her just like what he did to me after that her father told her to stay away.

I also told her what he did to me and she told her father but her father didn't tell my mother because she told me get father said if my mom didn't believe me she would believe my friend either so we kept our distance but we weren't going the same high school anyway.

When I first start to work at the store I bought myself my first ever phone it was an Android Smart phone so I a phone to contact .My dad when I was coming home from school.I was about to choose subjects I wanted to be doing in form 4 my dad went with me to choose my subjects and classes I could only choose two choices out of the five choices.

The five choices were Sciences,Business,Modern Studies,Technical Studies and Courses.My two choices that I chose were Sciences and Modern Studies.In the end of the term three my dad and I went back to school at the end of exams to get my report card and my choices result to see which class I would be going in and the subjects I would be doing next term.

It was time for school break or what we call in Trinidad July -August holidays in our country we get two months off school till September is a new school term. The class I got into was Modern Studies My subjects were Maths,English (A), Eng (B)-Literature,Geography,Social-Studies,Spanish,Principal of Business,Integrated Science and Computer Administration C.A.

My dad was so proud of me he bought me a tablet for doing well at school. My uncle came from America and bought us alot of things he bought dad a new phone and my cousins and I got clothes and other stuff my uncle's wife and his daughter came also to spend some time with us herme in Trinidad. My uncle took us alot of places like at the beaches down the island we went at rivers in the mountain to the malls pizza hut and lastly to a beach house to spend two weeks the beach house has a huge pool with a slide it had small drift cars swing sets an mini animal petting zoo with monkeys and rabbits and other animals.

The beach house was close to the beach it had alot of seaweed in the beach so no one went to bathe in the beach we all stay at the pool it karrat sheds-(made of dry tree branches).My cousin and I shared a room we had out own bathroom well everyone much had their own room and bathroom and closer space it was the best two weeks I ever had in my life. After the holiday my dad told my uncle about my achievements at school but my uncle thought it was to far for me to be traveling alone.

I mean he did have a point I had to take for sets It taxis to reach to school to in the morning and two in the evening. Which I must tell you is very tiring. The holidays was over my uncle,aunt and their daughter had to go back to America. My dad and I decided I will not ba transferring to a school close to the area because I only had two years to finish and I didn't want to leave my friends to make new ones.

I had two weeks again before school reopened in September so dad and I went shopping for schools items like books,schools bags,uniforms,shoes and other school items. When we were done shopping I asked my dad if I can pierce my ear another time and he said yes.It didn't hurt the first side but the second hurt like hell they told me to clean it everyday with rubbing alcohol and trust me it vurned alot my ear turned red as a tomato.

That time my hair was long to my butt my dad never wanted me to cut my hair he lives my hair long he used to help me comb it.At the beginning it was just me and my dad but my grandma his mom moved in to help take care of me. She did everything so I would be comfortable and another reason why was my dad didn't have this kind od responsibility before the first thing he asked me was if I was menstruating already I mean I kind of felt emabarased because I wasn't acustom telling anyone about my period.

He told me how he was just finding out to know if I had to get any pads so I will don't have to feel ashamed he also explained it was new to him so he wanted to make sure I had every thing I needed. One thing I had on my mind that I knew I was finally Happy with my new family I always loved my dad and he always wanted me to live with him but my mother made sure that didn't happen.
