The beginning

Alouette's POV-

It's different here. Everybody gets along. Siblings never fight, parents never argue, and friends never kill themselves. I feel like an outcast here, nothing feels as if it's real. It's like i'm a girl who's out of reality and is constantly dreaming. Dreaming up her fantasy life. Dreaming is the only piece of sanity I have left I guess you could say. I've been stripped bare of all emotions and feelings. The only piece of humanity I have left is dreaming , Or maybe that's been dreamt up too.

"Welcome To Charlotte North Carolina" a sign reads as me and my Aunt drives past it. Her oldest son is in the back, well he's my cousin I guess. I've never had a conversation with him. I look at him, maybe a bit too long, he lips at me "Stupid Bitch" and I swallow hard then turn around in my seat. He scares me, but not in a "monster" kind of scary, but in a "Chris Brown" you better beware or i'll beat you kind of way. The country side is pretty. Cows graze the pastures, pigs roll in their own filth and it's all fascinating! I close my eyes and relax and it seems as if ten seconds later were pulling up to a three story glamorous movie star house. My aunts house looks nothing like my old home. It looks amazing. It's a six bedroom , six bathroom, full basement, full attic, plus a den. I walk inside and it looks like something Picasso would've created. So much vibrant colors that all blend so beautifully together. I walk up the stairs. She had two sets, like an upside down "V" My cousin Mercer meets me at my room. She's 15. Mercer's real name is "Miracle Olivia Grace." Her dad wanted to name her Mercer and while she was still in her custody before he died, He did. So "Miracle" never really existed. My room is fit for a queen. Something i'm not worthy of. It's purple with a beautiful smooth marble wall by the headboard. It has a 52" flat screen & a love seat couch and a California king size bed with chiffon covering around the top. It pretty. I get unpacked and showered and my aunt tells me to get Mercer & Tyler and to tell them dinner is ready. I knock on Mercer's door and she goes downstairs. This really cool music is playing from Tyler's room and I sit down beside his door and I just listen with my head against the door. I dream that i'm in the music video at a 1960's shindig A few moments later he opens his door and says something I don't understand then he gets in my face and pins me against the wall and yells at me. I don't speak. He looks at me and lets me go and I fall. He then shuts his door and goes downstairs. I wait a few moment and process what just happened and then I get up and go downstairs. Everyone's seated, My aunt, Tyler, Mercer, and I. We hold hands and say grace. My aunt tells me to freshen up and then off to bed. I have school tomorrow. Yay.
