As I walked into the space of my bout to be my new house,setting down a heavy box down beside the front door letting out a groan as my back and feet started to hurt from the constant walking and bending down. My eldest brother, Garret ,made me and my second eldest brother, Axel and I moved here after Garret got a better job opportunity where we first was living.Axel and I were Garrett's kid siblings. Both of our parents died in a car accident about 8 months ago.
Garrett got custody of both of us after.Garret's 21.Axel's 17 and I am 15.I still can remember the day I got the news.i was coming home after biking around town with my buddies after dark about 11pm. As we turned to Glen Avenue,the street where I lived.my friends were gonna drop me off,as their house was on the way
The street lights were supposed to light up the night.but in my opinion I think it was the red and blue sirens that did most of it.all of my friends turn to me knowing that was my house.i couldn't ride a bike and still can't.but luckily I had a skateboard.i press my foot back to stop myself staring at the house.thinking about all the bad things that could have happened.
Never in a thousand years though it would have been the news of the death of my parents
Snapping back to reality,Axel pasted me whistling while carrying in another box, walking into the kitchen. Axel had a jet black curly mullet , Had a slight mustache. Blue doe eyes. He was a spinning image of mom, had mom's eyes and everything Garrett looked like dad. Hazel hooded eyes sharp nose and wide lips. He was strict like dad was, I mean he had to play dad now since the state was breathing down our necks.
He always wanted Axel and I helping around the house, and getting our school work done. And that was an order.I looked like mom and little of Garret not any sight of my dad on my face.thats how I liked it.my father was the brightest of people. He was a violent selfish drunk,he would pick alcohol over his own kids any day.
i had silky brown hair like Garret And mom's face, button nose,heart shaped lips and ocean blue eyes.
Garrett walks in the door way with the serious look he had on his face like always just like dad did
"Delilah, can you run down at a convenient store real quick. And get some waters" he throws me a couple dollars into my hand
"You going to the store? get me a pack of marlboros to while your there will yeah?" Axel says reaching into his back pocket for a 50 piece
"Axel I'm 15 how are they sell me cigarettes?"
"Just say it's for Axel, I know the guy who works there" Axel explained handing me the 50¢
