Really Mr Alpha?

Chapter Two

Christina Sharpe

I waved goodbye to the removal men and went into my new flat. My flat, I liked the sound of that. I wondered what I could have done to deserve this new beginning. My new beginning, I knew that coming here would bring me happiness. For once in my life things were going right: one, I am 18; two, I have a place at a brand new university; three, I'm away from my mother.

I had just finished moving everything into my bedroom when I got this weird feeling pulling me to the window. I looked out only to see a man moving around in the bedroom and a brunette at the front door. Something about this scene made me feel intensely jealous. I stared at the man's window, watching him move around. He was fit! Tall build, muscular frame, dark hair; this man was heaven! Just as he turned around i pulled the curtains closed. I so did not want this guy thinking i was some kind if creep! Well i was being kind of creepy, but hey I'm new to the area. I was just looking around. "Yeah right. keep kidding yourself Christina." whispered the voice in the back of my head.

With a huff i plonked myself on my new couch. The truth was as much as i was happy to be away from home, I missed my friends. My friends were like family to me. I didn't really have a family so they looked out for me; which is what kept me alive on the estate. Me and Mum used to be close, before Dad left. After Dad "disappeared" (when i say he "dissapperared" I mean he walked out on us) we had to sell our little home and move into Westwood Estate.

That estate was not somewhere you wanted to be; It was dangerous. There was fights everywhere. If you were smart you wouldn't walk out alone at night. Just last month there was a gang fight in my block! Random shootings! Two innocent children killed because of people who didn't know how stupid being in a gang was. If i hadn't stayed with Luke that night God knows where I would be, six foot under? In intencive care? Applying anti-septic to my bullet wounds? In truth, I owe my friends my life.

Now i had to move out on my own, away from Mum. I would have taken her with me if she hadn't changed so much. After Dad left she despised me because i looked like him. She went out every night and got drunk. She would bring purvey guys, who were only interested in one thing, home for the night. Then she would hit me till i felt as low as her. Abusive. Thats all she was to me after he went. All the happy memories I had of her are gone and in their place are unmerciful beatings and even more painful words.

 My bestest friends are and always will be Lexy, Jack and Luke. There were other friends, but Lexy, Jack and Luke were the ones who stuck by me through thick and thin; the people who stayed over when Mum went out and left me alone; the ones who dried my tears, the ones that never left me. Now I'm away from them i feel alone. All i want is for them to be here with me,  so we can all have this new start. 

Looking on the bright side, I have an opportunity to make something of myself and I'm going to make the most of it. Today I make myself a vow, to never to be like my mother.
