"Mom, why do we have to move? All of my friends, they aren't here. You know I don't do well with new people." I whined as we pulled up to this beautiful big house. Way too big for the 3 of us. It's me, my mom, and my baby brother. My dad died on a hunting trip. He was killed by a wolf...
"It's a fresh start. I can't be a good mother in that house." Something about how she said that sounded like she was lying to me. A fresh start? How? Dad has only been gone for 6 months. How could she be moving on already?!
"Dad has only been gone 6 months..." I sighed and opened the car door. "I mean I guess the house is nice, but still."
"Honey you will be okay, you have 2 months before your senior year starts. Now help me with your brother, the moving guys are almost done unpacking." I nodded and grabbed my sleeping brother from the back seat. My brother was only 4 months old... he never got to meet dad... or mom before dad... she is always busy in the office, saying she got a lot to do... but she is a nurse... how much stuff does a nurse actually have to do at home? She had been done with school since I was 4. She had also been very mean, always telling me to get out of her way, she has even blamed me for dad's death... but how?
Tony started to wake up, smiling and pulling on my long red hair. He was a happy kid, unless he is sick then he is one cranky kid. Reminds me of my father. I think that's why mom puts me on baby duty a lot. Don't get me wrong she is a great mother. She takes great care of us, but her mouth can get her in trouble. I mean that's nothing new, she had always had a temper, but it got worse when dad died. I mean if that's her grieving process. I am just trying to give her time.
"Hey new girl!" I heard a female call from behind me. I turned around and saw this really pretty girl, probably my age. She hand long blonde hair and bright green eyes. "Hi I'm Janell." She smiled with her hand out. I smiled back.
"Alexis, and this is my baby brother Tony." I smiled. I definitely didn't want her to think he was mine.
"He is adorable, anyways I seen you just pull in and I wanted to introduce myself, I live across the street. When you get settled, your family is invited for dinner tonight at 6 PM." She smiled. I could tell that we were gonna be best friends. She was so welcoming.
"We will be there." I smiled. She smiled and walked away, I went in to find mom pulling out new clothes for Tony and getting him a bath ready.
"Hey honey, I know this is hard on you, this is hard on me too. But I do appreciate all your help with your brother." She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"I love you mom. By the way, the neighbors across the street have invited us to dinner at their house at 6." I said as I handed her Tony.
"That's great sweetie, how about you go ahead and get ready. Look nice." She stated. I ran up the stairs and found my room. It was huge with a bathroom of my own! I jumped in the shower and got ready for dinner.
*2 hours later*
"Honey let's go! We gonna be late!" Mom called from the stairs. I grabbed my bag and headed down stairs. We walked over. I knocked on the door and this man stood infront me and all I heard was
"MATE" in my head. What the fuck does that mean.
