*Alessia's P.O.V*
I'm limping home as slowly as I can knowing the moment I get home I'll be in more pain than I am now. Last night wasn't great, since mum died my father has been angry. Last night, the dinner wasn't hot enough and he kicked me in the ribs. Normally when this happens, I take a painkiller and move on but I think with the amount of times I have been kicked they're infected.
I reach my front porch and take a cautious step inside to see a unfamiliar women sitting at the dining table. She smiles at me but her smile is fake and full of pity.
'Hi Sweetheart, I am Officer, Harding. Your father has been killed in an accident' she says slowly as If i'm about to break down in tears which would be the normal reaction.
'Oh' is all i can manage.
'I'm sorry for your loss. We're going to take you over to the station and do a DNA test to see if there are any relatives who are willing to care for you'
My heart is speeding like a runaway train, going faster and faster. I simply nod and walk upstairs to get the necessities she asked for. I grab a spare shirt . . . my only spare shirt. I find my dinged up iPhone 6 in Daniel (My fathers) room. He took it about a month ago after I came home from school 4 minutes late.
We arrive at the station and I'm taken to a small interrogation room that is all too familiar. A few years ago I tried to get away from Daniel but they didn't believe me. They thought I was over-reacting. The abuse really escalated after that day. That night when I had to go home I left for school with a broken arm, broken ribs and a huge burn.
'Alessia?' The officer repeats herself again.
'I'm sorry' I gush, 'Yes?'
'We got back your results and you have 6 brothers in New York who are coming to collect you as soon as they can get here'
I froze. What brothers?
'Are you sure?' I whispered.
'Yes. In fact your father wasn't related to you at all. This is all under investigation. For now try and rest before your new family arrives' She smiles
I have always dreamed of leaving Daniel but I never thought it would happen like this. I should be grateful. I am grateful. I think.
I lay down on the stretcher and try aimlessly to fall asleep.
This chapter is a bit short but I am trying the best I am to get straight to the point. To avoid world building boredom!
Question: Dogs or cats?
Love you all!
