Shattered

Chapter 4

The cold breeze blows in this god forsaken room. The filthy discoveries play in my mind over and over and over and -

"Darling, I'm going off to work. I want to see how it is before I actually start tomorrow." Mum looks incredible today with a low cut floral dress and minimal nude make-up. Mum is the kind of people who look breath-taking even with a touch of lip-gloss. She rushes up to me and kisses me on top of my head.

I look over the vast window to see how the weather is like today. The sun is booming with brightness making me smile extremely. I sprint to my bedroom to grab a random set of gym wear for my outside adventure. The shuffle of Brayton Bowman's music is set on motion and the only sound that leaves the room is my music.

The music possesses me making me run faster than I usually do. It ends up making me twerk uncontrollably and break down in the streets of New York whilst singing the upbeat song of my playlist. I don't notice a crowd of school children surrounding me and giggling with their small cliques. One boy catches my eyes with his breath-taking smile and mesmerizing eyes. He pushes his brown hair to a side and gives me a wink. I realised I was drooling over him when he walks further away from me.

"Honey, how was your day today?" My mum asks eagerly whilst we eat our Chinese take-away.

"Today was great, I guess. What about you, Mum, how was work?" I say

"Work was amazing, I met such friendly people and they were all so welcoming. I got my own office and it's bigger than the one I had in London." Mum smiles and dreams about the memories she encountered in work. It reminds me why I'm here and why I shouldn't care about anything else.

I walk back to my room slowly before I get interrupted by the sound of my mum's voice calling me.

"Darling, I almost forgot, you have school tomorrow. I enrolled you when we first came here so have an early night today for a banging day tomorrow, if you get me." My mum teases playfully and kisses my cheek.

I quickly brush my teeth and jump on my bed. I look up to the white ceiling and think about what tomorrow will be like for me. The thoughts take over me as I fall asleep to my new filthy discoveries that are forever entrenched in me.
