The secret life of a goth chick

Chapter 2: Introduced: Part 2

Abigail Lamont

As we entered the house, me, Morgynn, and Jaden all went to my basement to practice for the battle of the bands next month. But right as I opened the door to walk down the stairs, I heard Shelly calling us.

"Kids? Is that you?"

"Yah Shelly! It's us! We'll be in the basement practicing, k?"

"Alright, but hurry up. Mr. Gonzalez told me today in the meeting that he gave you all homework."

Damn it. "Ok. Give us an hour and we'll get started on it."

There may be some good things about my step mom being the music teacher at our school, but there are some VERY big down sides. Like all my teachers telling her that we have homework to do or anything that may get in the way of our music. Since our music class is towards the end of the school day for us, Shelly likes to go around embarrassing us. Don't know why, but she does. My dad probably told her to tease me or something. But I guess there is some good to it. She lets us have free time to use the instruments to practice, lets us go out early with the old "phony-baloney" trick: I call her, or Morgynn or Jaden does, and she comes up with some excuse to let us out without the other kids knowing.

When we got down to the basement, I went towards my guitar case while Morgynn went to hers and Jaden went to his drum set. When I opened my case, on the lid of it was a picture of my sister, well, half sister since my dad married her mom. I smiled at the thought of seeing her again, but remembered that she was gone. The last time we heard from her or her dad was the night of their accident. Their car somehow got pushed off the bridge that was near their house and from all the news said was that her little brothers were the only ones who survived, which is great, but I wish that my sis survived as well.

I signed, took the guitar out, and closed the case. I didn't want to see her picture while we're practicing. When I walked over to the boom box to plug my cord in, I got shocked and, somehow, saw a flashback.

We were gonna call my sister that night when heard someone at the door. When we opened it, we saw a blonde teenage boy named, well, he like to be called Seven. When we invited him in, he turned the news on and started to watch TV. That night, me, Seven, Morgynn and Jaden were all gonna have a movie night together, but we all wanted to talk to my sister first. Apparently, Seven knows her too and wanted to surprise her. But right as I started to diel her number, the news came on. We saw as a car laid in a ditch upside down. when they showed us the picture of the family that died in the car, I almost screamed. It was my sister and her family!

End flashback.

"Abby! Abby, are you alright?"

I looked to see Jaden and Morgynn trying to get me to snap out of it. "Sorry, I got shocked and I saw that time when we went to her school."

They both signed. "Oh, you saw her, huh?"

"Yah, I saw Maria. My older sister."
