The Crazy Run

chapter 3

I woke up the only one awake. I didn't have much to do, and I didn't want to wake anybody up. I decided that I wanted to make breakfast for everyone, to thank them for letting me stay. i got up and folded the blankets (didn't want to leave a mess for them).

Everyone woke up just in time. I was done setting the table. There were two stacks of fluffy pancakes, a fruit basket, a pitcher og orange juice, and nice brown crspy bacon. Austin's mouth dropped wide open with I think a pool of drool. Sophia came rushing over to give me a big hug. While Bobbi adn Danny stood there speechless.

"W-whats this for?" Bobbi said with all surprise in her eyes.

"It's a thank you for letting me stay in your house and keeping me safe." I explained.

"Oh honey, you being sfe is a thank you enough." she said coming towards me, "Anyways, I'm sure you'll be a better roll-model then trouble maker over ther." pointing towards Austin.

We all sat down for some breakfast. We all had a couple jokes popping out, and coversations about me going to school next fall. To be honest I was scared to start a new school. From what I had at my school what will everyone think of me here?

After breakfast, Austin, Danny, and I went upstairs to clean the spear room. While Sophia plays outside and Bobbi works in the garden.

Wen I walked into the room I froze when I say everything. Austin took me by the arm to bring me in the room. I just looked around and looked at every single picture in there. It was sort of like a memory box.

You could see pictures of Bobbi and Danny where babies, their families, friends, and graduation pictures. I walked around the room a little more. I came to the window and looked out. I watched Sophia play for a little bit, but there was something that I saw out of the corner of my eye.

It was a car, more like a truck, but it looked like my dad's truck. I looked a little closer and someone was sitting in it. I couldnt makeout who it was but it scared me. Austin then came out of no where scaring the crap out of me. He had a laughing fit, but i punched him and he stopped and started complaining.

I left his side and went to looking back at the pictures. I came to a vanity that had picture all over it. One picture cought my eye. I picked it up and looked at it closer. Why was MY mom in the picture?!?! I ran out to Bobbi to ask her since she was in the picture too.

"Bobbi I have to ask you something."

"What's up baby girl?"

"Why is my mom in this picture?"

"Your mom? What are you talking about, that my sister. She moved to Germany ten years ago when she married a freak, they never had kids. We've never heard from her again." She explained with confused eyes about my question.

"No thats my mom Mdison Johnson. She only lived about three and a half hours from here. She passed away cause of my dad. This is my mom in this picture. I have the picture of her face in my locket." I said all of this while pulling out my locket from under my shirt.

"Wow, I never knew that." she had depressed eyes now. I thought my mom kept in touch with her family. I guess my dad didnt want anything to do with them.

"I'm sorry i thought her family knew everything. I'm so sorry."

"Its' not your fault sweety."

I started walking away when Bobbi called my name.

"Ya?" i asked all confused.

"Welcome to the family." she gave me a full smile.

I felt welcomed, l guess I did find my real family. I ran back upstairs to help Danny and Austin with the rest of the room.

"What was that all about?" Austin asked.

"Nothing, but can i barrow a frame for the picture coz?"

He looked at me like i was messed up in the head. "Sure, but why did you call me coz?"

"My mom is your mom's sister." I said with a smile creeping across my face.
