Because Of You

Chapter 2:

(Okay, I'm SO sorry that this chapter is so fucking short but it's literally just supposed to them arriving at their new house and I didn't know what else to add, so yeah, I'm lazy, deal with it.)

Chapter 2:

I'm glad you're intrigued so far. Well, let's pick up where we left off, shall we?

I remember the house being slightly cramped compared to what I was used too. It was 2 stories tall, with a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, 2 bedrooms, a study, which could also be considered a small little library, 2 bathrooms, a laundry room, and a guest room. It didn't look anything like our old house back in the Bacca Empire. In fact, we lived in the town of GreatWood. All the houses were inside trees. I barely even saw a tree within the city limits. My dad assured me I'd love it here, taking mom and I into the house for the first time. Mom didn't seem too worried, and I guess it was alright. The house was already furnished, and when Dad told me the bedrooms were upstairs, that was my immediate destination. I didn't bother with any other rooms, because I was just tired at this point. My head throbbed from a pounding headache, and my back was stiff from falling asleep in an awkward position during the car ride.

After a quick, brief glance at all the rooms upstairs, I claimed the bedroom closest to the front of the house, the one across the upstairs bathroom. Immediately beginning to unpack, I organized all of my clothing into the 3 drawer dresser, decorated a small desk with some of my personal belongings, and simply made the room feel a bit more... like home. The walls in my room were painted a beautiful pale blue, the flooring made of spruce. By the time my decorating spree was finished, a yawn escaped my lips, a knock sounding on my door.

"Jerome?" My dad's voice was mellow, my mother's humming just barely audible from down the hall. I turned to look at him, staring as he lightly smiled, approaching. "I'm sorry this is so sudden. I know you didn't want to come." I remember his face having a weary look about it, as if he'd gotten no sleep whatsoever. I just smiled back.

"It's okay!" I'd cheerfully assured, another yawn escaping my lips soon after. He'd chuckled slightly, picking me up and laying me down in my bed. The bedspread was a pure white, edged with a black trimming, while the pillows were fully black and the sheets white, tucked in around the mattress. The bed frame was made of a beautiful wood, stained black.

"I'm so glad we have such an understanding little bacca." My dad kissed my forehead and dismissed himself, leaving me to fall asleep, though I didn't sleep long, only about an hour or so. When I woke up again, at first, I was a bit confused. Until I remember we were in our new "home". So, I got up and made my way downstairs, plenty of light still pouring in from outside as familiar things floated around in different places. Paintings, pots, blankets, pictures, all different things that I saw back in our old home. My mother had been in the living room, working on paperwork by the looks of it.

"Mom!" I'd cheerfully started, rushing over. She looked to me and smiled brightly, setting everything aside to scoop me up and spin me around, causing my small form to giggle.

"How is my little bacca?"

"Good!"

"That's great. Hey, you start school tomorrow, are you excited?" I had nodded eagerly. "I figured you would be; now how about we get something to eat? I don't know about you, but I'm starving!"

Yeah, our arrival went by rather smoothly,smoother than I thought at least. Hmn... I guess that next I should tell youabout my first experience at a Minecraftian school, right? That'll be fun to explain.
