There's more than what meets the eye

Chapter 3: Moving in

It was 7 in the morning and I was finishing up packing the last of my bags.

"Hey serenity you done?!" I hear Kayden yell from downstairs

I grab the last shirt in my closet and zip up my bag.

"Yea I'm done!" I yell back.

I stand up holding my bags in my hands.

I slowly turn and look around the room. I then walk downstairs and stroll around the kitchen and ringing room then the living room.

A tear falls down my cheek. I can't believe I'm never going to see this place again.

I'm never going to be able to call this place my home again.

I feel 4 hands wrap around me I look to the side and see kayden and Nick hugging me. I immediately hug them back.

They're both crying too.

Nick unravels his hands from me. "We should get going." He says and starts to walk to the front door.

Kayden let's go of me too and follows closely behind Nick.

They both exit through the front door and Nick holds it open waiting for me.

"I'll be out soon" I tell him. He nods his head and closes the door.

I walk into the living room and walk over to a picture frame hanging on the wall.

Our family portrait. I was 12 Kayden was 11, and Nick was 13.

Now I'm 17, Kayden is 16 and Nick is 18.

This picture was taken before my mom passed. When my dad was happy and he was home and he actually loved and cared about us.

I took it off the wall and stared at it a bit longer . I then tucked it under my arm and walked towards the front door. I opened it and looked behind me one more time. The house was so empty no furniture in sight.

Suddenly my mind went back to when we first moved in here.

"Momma! Momma! Is this our new Home!" I asked my Mom

"Hahah yes it is sweetie!" My mother responded.

"And we're gonna be here forever? Together?" I asked

"Yes pumpkin! We're gonna be here together forever. I will never ever leave you." She said picking me up.

"It's so Empty in here mama. We need to decorate!" I say looking around there was no furniture at all.

"Well hunny we just moved in it will take a while to get everything ready." She responded

I shook my head trying to get that flashback out of my head.

My lip quivered and before anything else could come back to me I turned around walked out and shut the front door behind me.

"Hey Serenity! Just leave your bags in the living room I'll get Kai to take them up to your room. You can go ahead and go up to your room. It's across from Kai's." Jennet says from the kitchen.

I head up the stairs leaving my bags in the living room. I find my room and enter.

Woah there's a lot of pink. Jennet did not waste anytime decorating my room. Pink bedsheets and pillowcases a pink lamp. I'm not complaining pink was my favorite color. Besides purple.

I feel like purple is such an underrated color everyone usually reaches for pink or blue.

I kind of feel the same way about pink though. Most girls say their favorite color is any color but pink because they think pink is to girly or if their favorite color is pink then they're too basic.

Not everyone though most people genuinely don't like the color pink. Which I respect. Me however likes being basic. So I'm proud to say my favorite color is pink.

I sit down on my bed and look around it's a pretty sick room. There's a huge TV across my bed hung up on my wall.

I look to the side and see a pretty spacious walk in closet. God these people were rich.

Suddenly my door opens and I see Kai standing at my doorway.

"Very pink" he says looking around with a smirk.

"Yea Jennet really outdid herself" I said letting out a chuckle.

He walked in and let my bags down in the middle of the room.

"You carried all five bags up here in one trip?" I ask very surprised I had to make three trips from my old house to my new one. The bags were very heavy. Considering two of them were big ass suitcases.

"Yes I'm not a lazy fatass like you." He snorts.

"I am not fat!" I argued.

I knew I wasn't fat. I used to have an ED. I didn't eat normally for two years. I lost so much weight I almost died. If I had gone on for any longer I would not be here right now.

Let me just say I used to be a pretty big kid. I was 130 at 12 years old. Kai and some other kids at school would make fun of me at school. They made me get an ED.

From 14-15 I was pretty much a twig. I literally had no meat on my bones. It hurt to look in the mirror I would cry every time I saw myself.

I started gaining my weight back at 16. Now I was average weight. 115 at 17.

I'm glad to say im never going back. And that I've recovered very well.

Kai snaps me out of my thought by clapping his hands in my face.

"Hellloooo earth to Serenity."

"Oh yea what?" I ask

"God you always space out. Whatever, your brothers told me to tell you that since school starts again next week that we're going to go school supply shopping tomorrow." He say

Before I can respond he gets a text.

"Who texted you?"

"None of your business Astor."

"It was just a question jeez Ambrose" I exaggerated his last name. Mostly mocking him because he just said mine.

"Kayla." He says after a few seconds silence.

Of course it was Kayla.

"Oh nice.. are y'all together or something you seem to talk to her a lot or something." I ask.

"Why do you want to know?" He asks getting closer. "Don't tell me.. you still have that stupid middle school girl crush on me from the 6th grade?" He asks smirking.

He's now so close our noses are touching.

I had two decisions push him away like I would normally do..

Or

*SMACK*

"Ouch fucking hell Serenity!" He grunts as he hold his hand to his cheek.

The red hand imprint almost makes me laugh.

"Never get that close to me again Kai." I say walking over to my purse and taking out a mint.

I throw it at him and he catches it.

"Here you really need it." I say and with that I walk out my new room leaving him sitting on the floor dumbfounded.

God this is gonna be a long year.
