2 months earlier... (than last part)

I stood there in the entryway to the front door, I just couldn't bring myself to knock I mean it was my house with my family inside but it never really felt like home. I turned around and walked back towards the street "I'll come back and knock in an hour, " I thought. but as I was walking away from the house I looked through the window the lights were on inside but it was dark out so I knew they couldn't see me watching them like a stalker, my three younger sisters Emerson, Brooke, and Ella, and my mom and stepdad were all sitting around a table talking and laughing. I felt like I was watching a random perfect family through a tv screen, I always felt alone in that house in this whole town, the only place I really want to be in the land of stories. Yet somehow ever since we moved here when I was in 7th grade my sisters have been so happy. Honestly, I was so jealous of them, I wish i could find happiness without having to travel to another dimention.

Instead of walking away and worrying about how my mom would react when she sees me for the first time in a month, I stuffed my feelings down my throat and knoked on the door. My 13 year old sister Brooke answered, "BREE!!!
BREEEEEE!!! YOUR BACK, MOM, MOM!!!, SHES BACK."

As my mom aproached me I prepared myself for the yelling and long lecures but instead she just hugged me tight. We stayed hugging for several minutes. But then she stepped back her joyful expression turned to rage "BREANNE JUNE CAMPBELL!  DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED WE WERE!?" "I WAS THIS CLOSE TO CALLING THE POLICE!" she said showing her fingers almost pinched together.  "Mom I'm really sorr-" but she interrupted. I'M NOT DONE TALKING YOUNG LADY! YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR... NO, THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND THE SUMMER, AND YOU BETTER NOT RUN AWAY AGAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" "Yes, mom" "GOOD." she finished with a huff and walked upstairs to get my youngest sister ready for bed.

My sisters and stepdad gave me hugs and welcomed me home, "Bree just so you know tomorrow you are going to have to start going back to school so make sure you are all ready tonight." "Okay, I will."

F**k I forgot about school.

I said goodnight and went to my room it looked exactly the same as when I had left. I opened my closet and tried to find an outfit for school the next day. I just saved the world from literal gingerbread men and now my biggest problem was choosing what I was gonna wear to school. My life is insane. I chose baggy ripped jeans a black crop top an oversized hoodie and crystal necklaces.
