Her miracle

chapter 2

Clarity

 Theo stared at me all night. It was kind of awful, I had to do all the work because the secretary was on a vacation. Dad continued to impress the Redwald with his perfect son.

 When Theo's mother asked about me, my father told her that he adopted me when I was 3 years old. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't. Why didn't he tell her that I'm his daughter?

 After we eat, Theo's dad tried to go home but literally destroyed the car, so they stayed at our house this night.

 Now, I'm in my room writing in my journal. I started to write it when my father took me here. I was writing in it, imagining that I was talking to my mom when somebody walked into my room.

   "You don't know how to knock? You can't just come in! “ I said as I get up from the bed. Theo came closer to me and examined my face. “ You look like Stefan. Did he lie? You don't look adopted.” I was not talking. Just starting at him in silence. The whole house was silent. He looked at my journal and grabbed it. “ Hey! You can't just take that!”

 “Started the conversation again? Ok, if we do that, I need to ask a question, but I would like it if you will answer this time. What do you keep in this?” He says and throws the journal on the bed. “None of your business.”

When he was about to say something, my brother walked in. “ Theo! What are you doing here? Come!” He said as he grabbed his hand and takes him to his room.

I took my pillow and screamed in it. God, I already hate this man.

The next day, I was decorating my room. A few days ago, I bought some things — that weren't red — so I could give some color to this room. It's been red for two years and I really want a change.

I've bought some plants too. I've always loved plants, but my dad didn't let me buy them.

I moved the bed to the wall and the closet next to the window. I've also bought some white with small green flowers curtain.

Furthermore, I painted the walls white and got another desk. The desk I had before was all red, but the one I bought is black and white.

I've got a little light-brown bed for my cat too and put it next to my bed.

Everything was perfect. Now, is not everything red. Now I really like my room.

When I was putting one more plant at the window, Eric entered my room.

“ Eric. I thought you have one week more? How are you here so early?” I asked and hugged him. “My dad told me that I could come home earlier. I like what you did to the room.”

“ Yeah. I did it this morning. “ He looked at my desk and placed his rucksack on it. “ What do you do all this time without me?” He looks at me and smiles.

He was always protecting me from dad, or Marius. He is only 3 years older than me.

“ Actually, they weren't that bad. But I'm sorry, I really need to go to school. “ He looked at me, then at his phone. “ But it's 13 o'clock. “

“Well, different program.”
