The Unknown

Chapter 9

                                                  -Amelie's POV-

  After leaving the tree house heavy thoughts rested heavily on my mind. Will we get this guy before are secret is exposed, will he hurt are families before we can take him down, just a lot of heavy  thoughts weighing down my mood. My siblings Abby and Axel are coming home from college today and I should be happy about that, even ecstatic maybe since I haven't seen them in months but for some reason I just can't seem to make this sad drowning feeling go away.

It has been a year since the incident, I tried to pretend it didn't happen and sometimes it works I will be able to do the things I used to enjoy, but most times it doesn't and when I can't forget that night I feel like locking myself in my room and permanently gluing myself to my bed and staying there for the rest of my days.

But I can't do that because no one can know what happened that night no one can know that this situation is what is slowly making me drown inside my own head. In the beginning after what happened happened I was able to tell lyla what was going on inside my head after a little persuading from her end but now that we aren't friends I have no one to tell and it's killing me slowly.

Driving upon a black colored two-story home with a nice freshly cut lawn that is split down the middle with perfectly spaced out concrete slabs and two other semi-expensive vehicles that belong to my mom's parked in the driveway. I Parked behind my mama's black BMW, which was parked parallel to my mommy's black Mercedes Benz. Entering my house I take off my shoes and put them on the shoe rack that is located on the wall near the front door, I can hear soft music playing that is coming from the kitchen along with the smell of my mama's famous seasoned smash potatos.

Following the sound of music which I now recognize as 'fly me to the moon' the Frank Sinatra version, I see my mama which I expected since she cooks the most in this house, swaying her hips to the music while she stirs something in a medium sized black pot. Then my eyes drift from her to my mommy who is sitting on the counter behind my mama watching her, with a loving look in her eye the one she always gives her and the one my mama recepicates while singing along to Frank and swinging her legs.

I step further in the kitchen in a way to announce my presence, my mommy's the first to notice me so she opens her arms and legs so she can embrace me in them. I step up to her and rest my body between her arms and legs, then rest my head on her chest as she raps her legs and arms around me while I breath in the comforting feeling she always supplies our little family with. After about two minutes I feel my mama embracing me from behind which leads me to smiling with my eyes slowly falling close.

"How was school my love" my mommy whispers in my ear with her British accent that is starting to get overturned by her American accent. "Fine" I responded with in a whispers tone as well in hopes not to break the comfortable atmosphere we created. "Just fine, come on its your first day back something exciting had to of happen you rushed out the door mighty fast this morning" my mama said in response to my very bland response to my mothers question.

At the last bit of the my mama's sentence my eyes snap open knowing why I rushed out the door this morning and it wasn't because I was ready for my first last day of school. "It was fine mama, that's it, nothing exciting happened today. Do you need me to help with dinner I know Abby and Ax will be here soon " I said in hopes to change the subject. "Actually I do, could you start the Mac n' cheese for me, you do it the best" said mama while she detaches her body from me and moves back to stiring what ever is in the pot on the stove.

"I know" I stated in response to my moms compliment. I moved away from my mommy after leaving a kiss on both her cheeks, towards the sink to wash my hands and start to make my (world) famous Mac n' cheese.

---------------------------

The sound of the doorbell chiming ringed through the house right after I placed the Mac n' Cheese in the pre-heated oven. "I got it" I yelled out in the dark style modern home as my moms where cuddle on the couch watching tv. I ran to the door since I knew who it was. I ripped open the dark wooden front door to see two of my favorite people standing behind it with smiles on their faces  in response to the eager energy radiating off of me.

"Hey millie" they said in unison. I ran into their arms bringing them into a group hug. I closed my eyes with a beaming smile on my face as we rocked back and forth, I could hear our moms approaching us, which lead me to leaving their embraces so my mom's could hug them. I heard my mom's telling them how much they missed them and then telling them to come in the house so they can put their stuff in their room. They came in I closed the door behind them telling them how much I missed them as we walked towards the living room after my siblings took of their shoes. We are sitting on the couch talking until we heard the doorbell ring again, Abby ran to the door with a smile on her face after saying she's got it. I shot my family a confused face since Abby has never been that ecstatic to open the door for anyone. "It's her boyfriend" Axel inform us, after seeing are confused looks. "Boyfriend,she didn't tell me she had a boyfriend" I said since me and Abby tell each other everything, well almost everything. "She wanted it to be a surprise" responded Axel.

When I was about to talk again I heared two set of foot steps approaching us in the living room. I looked and saw Abby enter first holding someone's hands that I can't see yet since they are being blocked by a wall. " Guys I would like you to meet Deaven my boyfriend" my body froze up when I saw the face of the guy my sister calls her boyfriend. The face I'm looking at I could never forget no matter how hard I try to, the face I'm looking at matches the face of the man me and my ex-best friends buried a year ago.
"What the hell" I screamed in my head as our eyes meet.
