Freedom - A love stronger than blood

Home ?

The prolonged taxi ride home left the lingering hunger circulating my slender stomach. Staring at the monotonous city scape . The car eventually pulled up.  A discordant screech followed the  abrupt slam of the breaks . I climbed out of the car and waved the driver off . I walked up the meandering stone path , its  crevices overrun with soiled moss. The quagmire reeked of a pungent earthy landscape . I reached the front door and pulled out the tarnished keys . Click . The door swung open . 

"Hello, Mum i'm home !" I shouted ,yet receiving no reply . "Mum , I'm home." I bellowed . 

How frustrating. I gave out a exasperated sigh . 

I walked into the kitchen . Mum. There she was disheartened , distressed, disappointed , I could tell something wasn't right .I put down my keys , rushing over to her . Though the revelations didn't end there . Aunt Susie walked round the corner . 

"What , what's happening ,"My voice sounded shaken and and emotional .

Piles of papers spewing with text of a minuscule font spread vexatiously about the ligneous table . Mum saw my perturbed eye eyeballing the paper ; she turned them over correcting her hung over posture. 

"Isadora , there is something I need to tell you ," her voice was laced with hesitation and distinguished fear . Impatiently I starred waiting hoping for a positive outcome . 

"Your moving to England Issie ." My face dropped with prostration . 

"Your coming right ?" I questioned. 

"I'm sorry darling , no I am not ," she turned her head avoiding eye contact . My eyes welled up and the blood boiled in my vains . I was in disbelief how could she . How could she send me away . I don't care why . Dad left , mum is now going to abandon me . How could she ? I bit my lip and shook my head .

"Wwwhat!" I screamed .

Aunt Susie stood up " Issie  control yourself !"  I've never liked Aunt Susie , she's mums stuck up sister , grumpy old lady , but none of that mattered I couldn't  believe it . 

"Shanna will be going with you ," Susie piped after . 

"Issie darling , I'm sorry , I just want you to be happy . I know this will be difficult to realise but I am really struggling financially at the moment ; oh , Issie , Isadora please , I'm sorry . I wouldn't look at her not even take a glance.   Memories take an ominous turn when tainted by animosity , deception and lies .  I stormed into the living room , there waiting patiently was Shanna . 

"So England , aye ?," she whispered.
