The sun kiss the earth goodbye, as the moon was saying hello, we had arrived in our new home. The rustic leaves dance around me as I carried the last box into our new home. Leaning against the porch was my father, smoking a cigarette. A frown escape my face, "why is smoking? Is he trying to be like Uncle Jayden?" I thought to myself.
I shook my head as I heard someone clearing their throat. I lift up my face and notice my father looking at me, while taking a cigarette puff.
"Baby girl? " Aiden said as he takes another puff
"Can you help me" pouts and shows him the box "please daddy" I said in my cute voice.
He let out a small sigh and drop his cigarette to the ground and his right foot raise up and he stomp on it. He walks towards me and reaches for the box, and takes it away from me.
"Thanks, Daddy" he didn't say anything only nodded his head.
I follow him inside, my eyes scan the new living room. An elegant white table was in the middle underneath was a rustic rug. Above was a small beautiful chandelier, five white leather chair circle the dining table. The wall was painted in this beautiful light blue color and it had a white frame around.
"Grace?" A soft voice calls to me
"Hmm?" Turns my attention to a young woman with medium length ombre black and grey hair, her red eyes were on me.
"Did you hear what I said baby girl?" Pandora ask worriedly
"Sorry" looks down "May you repeat it again, please momma" lifts up my face.
"Sweetheart, I said go finishing packing" she planted a kiss on my head as she walks back into this hallway.
My legs lead me to the spiral staircase. I heard someone screaming in excitement, I follow the voice and lean by the door way and my eyes landed on my twin brother who was jumping on his new bed.
"I can't believe I got a room!" He screams in excitement
"I sometimes wonder how are we related" sighs "Lucas, you are an idiot" crosses arms he came to a complete stop and glare at me.
"Well, I'm sorry Princess" he bows and stands back straight "I didn't know my excitement for having my own room is bothering the princess" Lucas said sarcastically
My hand met my face, and I mumble something to myself "Idiot", I moved away from the doorway and walk out and went to my new room. My hand reach out the glass door knob, I slowly twisted the knob and push the door open. Inside my new room was full of my boxes untouched, I step inside and look around.
My room was painted in this soft lilac color, there was a huge glass door with a glass knob facing the beautiful backyard. I turn slightly and notice my white love seat in the corner with my vintage lamp, in the corner of my eye and I notice my closet and couple feet away my bathroom. My canopy bed was push up in the corner and it had a lace white curtain around it.
I walk over to my mini mountain of boxes, my finger slips through the tape as I rip the first box open. I don't know how long it took me, but I open every single box and put my thousand things away. I jump on the bed and face planted against my pillow, my hand pat the bed to find my teddy bear Mr. Momo. My fingers touch a furry little bear and I pull him close to my body and snuggle into him.
"Nighty night, Mr. Momo" yawns and drifts off to sleep.
I felt a hand rubbing my back softly, I move away and pull the covers over my face.
"Nooooo" I said in a sleepy voice
"Gracie, wake up." A male soothing voice, he pulls the covers down.
