It all started with Ghosts

Chapter 2

5 years later

I pack the last of my stuff into a cardboard box with a 'Rose stuff' label on it. I sighed today is the day I move in with my mom's boyfriend wait I meant husband and his 3 kids and since they live in another state I am packing this last box at 4 in the morning. To say that I am grumpy is an understatement and just thinking about them gives me a headache. I haul my stuff to the movers truck, my mom came towards me with a big smile. I feel that we are going to get into an argument later and usually when I feel this way it always happens.

"Hey sweetie are you ready to go?" She, my mother, asked. 

'As ready as a chicken is when his head is about to get cut off' I thought. But I just nodded my head with a blank face.

"Rose I so happy that we are moving on with our lives. You won't believe what the house and the school are like". She said all melodramatically

I didn't reply just let her rant on and on about  how our lives are changing and how "great" it is." Wow, your mom sure is happy" said dad while standing behind my mom with a sad smile on his face "I haven't seen her this happy except on our wedding day". I knew dad was not happy about mom moving on but was happy that she was happy. Seeing him like this makes me want to slap myself for putting him through this. I bet he knew all about mom's new boyf- husband before I met him at the wedding, and to really confirm this, I watched his expression when the pastor pronounced them husband and wife it broke my heart but I couldn't show it on my face I had to be strong for me and dad. 

 "I don't get why are you so happy about this". I said angrily making my way to the Audi S6 my mom's boy- husband got her as a wedding gift.

"Why are you not happy about this" My mom asked as she got into the driver's seat.

"Humm let's see. You decided to tell me you had a boyfriend Mark two days before your wedding which was a week ago oh and apparently you have been dating him four and a half years and let's not forget that you decided to uproot our lives and move from Salt Lake City, Utah to Beverly Hills, California. So sorry if I am not excited to leave the only place I called home, and all my friends to come to a place where I don't know anyone I have to basically start over while you had plenty of time to get adjusted because of your "out of town" businesses meetings." I vented out. I was getting irritated with her and I so badly wanted to tell her she is hurting dad and I, but that wouldn't be right.

She sighed. " I understand where you are coming from but Mark was there for me picking up the pieces of my heart. I know what it must look like when I started dating him but your father and I relationship was long gone before he passed and I have finally found love other than the love that I have for you."

 "Ugh. Let's Just focus on getting to his house. I'm just going to go to sleep. Wake me when we are almost there." I said wanting for this year to restart. 

I put in my headphones, and lay my head on the window. I might as well get some sleep maybe I can practice some of my powers that dad taught me without my mom noticing. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths to slow my heart rate down. I concentrated on my slow heartbeats, while I drift into a comfortable darkness. Then suddenly there were lights that branch out in different ways to individual spots that look like stars. Then some of the branch of mf lights reach out towards me. They were so pretty I just had to reach out and touch them. As soon as my left-hand touch one it was like I was transported to a movie theater and on the screen, it shows someone I don't know life in a fast motion but I understand what is happening. I just saw the use to be life of  Cassandra Lola Gerince the deceased wife of Mark Anthony Gerince my mom's new husband. This is bullsh- suddenly I was being shaken. I hoped that whoever just tried to wake me learned their lesson because out of reflex my hand shot straight out and connected with their windpipe and my foot shot out and kick them in the stomach. I'm pretty proud of myself I did it without looking. Now I can brag to dad about it.
