Hello Readers! This chapter is pretty short but I needed to get a chapter written so here we are. :) TW: Swearing, spelling mistakes, and bad grammar ⚠ YOU HAVE BEE-N WARNED⚠
Stepping through the door of the new house and looking into the dark. It was almost completely dark outside, with just a slight crisp breeze going along with the cold. I could barely see inside. My brother had driven the car for the last four hours with my dad passed out in the back seat. It was insane we didn't get pulled over. Dad was asleep so I just left him in the car. My brother was out at the convenience store a little ways from our house. Huh, our house already I flipped on my flashlight. Click. I looked around the space. I assumed the worst with my brother's choice. A cramped kitchen? Check. Busted up cabinets? Check. Creaky wood flooring? Check.
The house was a faded blue color, squeezed between every other identical house. It didn't look like anyone else had lived in our neighborhood. Figures. No one would live in this place anyway.
I walked back outside after glancing around the house and just tossed my bag onto the floor and walked back out the door. I opened the trunk of our car to get out our two fold-up chairs, my backpack, a sleeping bag, and as well as Mom's clarinet. The clarinet was the only thing keeping me sane in the hell of living with my dad. A person came up behind me and ruffled my hair. "lemme help you y/n" Since mom had died my older brother, Camron had become the man of the family. Based on Dad's well... difficulty.
=======================================
Heading inside I set up the two chairs near the beat-up wooden dining table while Camron was in the kitchen. I came over to the counter that had top cabinets and bottom ones leaving an open part looking into the cramped kitchen. I put my head down on the counter. " Where did you even find this place?" My brother was the one who had found the house and from what I could tell, it wasn't much. Camron hadn't gotten to go to college so he had a lot of time to take care of me but the main reason was we could barely afford to pay rent.

"One of my friends had told me about it, It was cheap and he knew we were struggling."
"And why would you take advice from your friends?! They are the reason we got kicked out of the apartment!"
Camron quickly turned around and slammed the plastic container in front of me. "I try to do something for you and you do nothing but complain!" He paused to sigh. "School starts tomorrow at 8. The bus is here at 7:30. I won't be here to wake you up, I have to get to work by 5." Goodnight Y/n" He walked across the squeaky wooden floor and slammed the door to, what I assume sleep in the car.
Once I heard the door close, I brought the container to the table only to open it and see an assortment of cut melon and fruit. I simply closed the lid and grabbed a fork before grabbing my bags and heading upstairs.
Walking down the hallway of the second floor was cramped. I walked to the end of the hallway to the last door and opened it. There was barely anything in the room beside a few spiderwebs, which I quickly wiped away with my shoe immediately after entering the room.
I rolled out my sleeping bag and put down my pillow. I unzipped my backpack to reveal a whole book of sheet music, 5 full packs of clarinet reeds, and a music stand. I set up the items facing the window and began opening my clarinet case.

A/n I used Paint 3d so the quality is bound to suck Sorry! T-T
After assembling I began to play. I went through all the notes from the highest to the lowest. After running through a few short songs I ran through of my favorite pieces of music, Northridge overtune.

(At yt link to the song, it's a crucial part of the story and will be confusing if you don't know the song)
I kinda thought of the song like my life, Going and starting sort and sweet. Then starting to get bad. It hurt to think about so I started taking my clarinet apart to pack up when I heard a bonk on my window. I pulled up my crinkled metal blinds to reveal a duck as white as snow, they almost glowed.
As soon as I opened my window the duck started to quack "Waah wah wah waach." Looking out the window I also noticed an unnoticeable little patch of water surrounded by tall grass.
I gave the duck a pat on the head and he waddled off. I was reaching for the hatch on the window but got cut off by a voice. " Benson! Benson where are you?"
===========================================
ok some people might recognize the name benson from another one of my fanfics where there is a CHICKEN named benson. they are not in the same universe so Ig I can get away with it >:]
