Don't ask

Ch 1

My mom had us move to the rainy state of Washington about 3 days ago. We rented an old house that was really cheap and I can tell why. The siding on the house is falling off, the roof had patches of shingles missing, and the window sill was falling off the house and that's just the outside, on the inside it had very old wall paper that was hanging off the wall, there was water stains on the roof, the doors were  squeaky, and the stairs were very old and they'd look like if you would step on one you would fall through. " Mom why did you rent this old house that's falling apart." I asked. "the house has character, it may be old but it's better than living in the car." I know she was right but still I don't think I will ever call this home. " your room is upstairs Lucy." I grabbed my bag and went upstairs to my room. I walked up the stairs and there was a hall that went down to the right and to the left was an open space. I went down the hall and passed a small bathroom, a closet and finally at the end of the hall my room. The master bed room was downstairs with the kitchen, living room, another bathroom, and stairs to go down into the basement. My room was white which wasn't that bad compared to how the rest of the house had the ugliest wall paper.  It had a bed in the corner to the right of that was a window and a desk facing the window. I looked out the window and saw are yard and the woods beyond that. I went to a small closet that was by the door and saw it was bigger on the inside. I put my suitcase down on the bed when my mom called from the kitchen." I'm going into town to pick up some groceries. I'll be back for dinner." I yelled back," ok just bring home good food." I went back down to the kitchen to get the rest of my stuff, which wasn't much just a big box. I walked back up stairs and laid my box down and started to unpack. I put my clothes in the closet, put my sheets on the bed, and put some nick knacks on a shelf. I left the rest of my stuff in the box and went to the bathroom and put my soap, tooth brush, hair brush, and some other stuff in there. Next I went to the kitchen to see what was in it, then I went to the living room, which was very large surprisingly, and saw it had a leather couch with two leather chairs which looked really new. I guess the owner bought new stuff to make it feel less run down. It had a tv and DVD player, it also had a place to put and x box or something. I thought this would be my favorite room of the house so I left and went to the basement. There were old stairs leading down and a light switch on the wall I flipped the switch on and a single light turned on. I reached the bottom of the stairs and found another light switch so I turned the lights on. It had a hard concrete floor and it was very spacious. Nothing was in it so I thought if I put a few rugs down and a couple of chairs it could be a nice space. I turned to walk back up the stairs when I found a note tapped to the wall.
