Stranger

Chapter 1

A/N: hey babesss! So here's the first part of my new book, I hope you'll like it! Anyways enjoy reading🫶🏻

LINDSEYS POV:
Shouting, that's all that me and my brother heard. It were our parents, they have been fighting for the past few weeks but none of those fights were as bad as this one. We heard plates shattering on the floor,cussing, breaking things, things being thrown across the room and crying.

I'm four years old and my brother's 7. We were hiding in the bathroom of our little apartment, he was holding me so tight ,trying not to cry while I was crying my eyes out.

„it's ok Linn, this happens to all the parents" he tried to calm me down. He always called me Linn, that was his nickname for me

„ are we going to get hurt?" I asked

„while I'm here, nothings gonna happen to you" he kissed my head.
He hugged me even tighter and for some reason I felt so save in his arms.

The door broke open. It was my father.

„come on, we're leaving" he said picking up my brother.

„noooooo! Don't leave me please" I begged him but he didn't listen

„it's okay Linn, I'm coming back I'll just be gone for a few days"

and that's the last thing I've ever heard from my brother. My dear brother. He was always there for me, even if we had an fight he always came to my room and gave me an kiss on my head before sleeping. And when there was thunderstorms, he always lay next to me calming me down until I was sleeping. He was the only one who knew I was scared for thunderstorm, I was scared to tell someone else cuz they might think im still an baby.

————————————————————————
I'm now 17 years old. I grew up with my mother in an little apartment in Madrid. I was home schooled my entire life and she never let me go outside. Only to take the trash out.

It's hard to grow up on my own, my mom was always working and I just had to be all alone, even when I was 4. She didn't care about me, just about money. She always needs the newest brand clothing. But she doesn't understand that we don't have money for that. I always just eat the cheapest food out of an can. It's the least what we can afford.

I never had any friends, except for my neighbor, Emma. She was one year older then me and we were always together. My mom didn't wanted that but since she's basically never home, Emma just came over when my mom wasn't there.

She's super rich, but still lives in an little apartment. She doesn't have an mom and her dad is also never home cuz he's an businessman. So she has the hole apartment for herself.

I was sure I had an brother when I was little, but when I ask my mom about it she just laughs at me.

„Lindsey you're just making things up"

That's what she always says. But I don't believe her, I won't believe her even if that makes me sound crazy.

One day i asked about my dad, but she said he died in an accident when I was an baby.

1 AUGUST 2022
I woke up with an big smile, I finally turned 18. I look on my phone and see an message from Emma

EMMS❤️
Hey Linn, so how does it feel finally being 18. I just wanna wish you such an happy birthday❤️ I love you so much and I wish you the best with everything. Oh and tell me when your mom's gone, cuz I have an surpriseeeeee!

OH MY GOD! I was basically crying. I love her so much this is so sweet. I responded back with this:

LINDSEY
EMMS omg I'm basically crying your so sweet!❤️ I love you so much, anyways my moms out of town a few days for her "work". She leaves this morning at 12 so you can come after that!

I closed my phone and lay it down on my desk. I walked to the living room seeing my mother sit down on the couch with an little birthday hat on. I saw an cake in front of her with candles. Next to the cake I saw an little bag which I think is my present.

„good morning my big girl" she stood up and hugged me

„Ahw mom, you really didn't have to do this"

„c'mon you're turning 18 of course I needed to do this. Well it's time to blow out your candles and make an wish" we walked over to the cake.

I blew all my candles out in one try and made an wish. Now I won't tell you what it was or otherwise it won't come out.

She cut the cake and gave me an piece. It was delicious. We were just talking about all the things that will happen now that I'm an adult.

„it's time to open you're present now" she said while handing me the bag.

I opened it and I couldn't believe what I saw. My mom knew I really liked makeup so she got me the charlotte tilbury flawless filter.

„thank you so much, but this is to expensive I can't take it"

„ it's okey sweetie, I worked extra hard for this"

I hugged her and we ate a little more cake. My mom wasn't always the best for me, but this is sweet. The time flew and before we knew it it was already 12pm. Time for my mother to leave.
I walked to the door with her and hugged her

„again I'm so sorry sweetie I couldn't be there on your birthday"

„it's okey mom, don't worry about it" i hugged her again and she left

I let out an sight, I can finally do whatever I want!
