Forever A Fighter

Chapter 4:

Christina's POV:

          Waking up in the middle of the night, because of a memory from the past is no fun. Sighing I shoved the itchy blankets off me as I ran my hands through my sweaty, curly hair. Standing up I crossed the small room to the bath room. The tile was cold on my bare feet as I walked to the shower and turned the water on. Undressing myself, I stepped into the tub and under the hot water that instantly calmed my nerves and made my muscles relax: I stood under the water a few more seconds then got to cleaning myself up. I began to scrub the shampoo in my hair and wash it out, repeating the process with conditioner. I shaved  my legs the best I could, and washed my body. Sticking my head under the downfall of water as it became freezing cold, I turned it off and listened to the water drain before stepping out of the shower. Grabbing a towel I dried my hair the best I could with it, then began braiding my hair in a simple french braid that fell down my back. Wrapping the towel around me, I walked into the room I shared with the twins and changed into a simple outfit.

          I walked over to bed and woke up the twins. I helped get them dressed into matching outfits, and grabbed our bags. I picked up Matt and held my hand out for my little sister to take it, and walked out the door and locking it behind me. I walked down the dirty small hallway and down the stairs that I'm pretty sure might break under my weight. I hurry down the rest of the stairs before they actually get the chance to brake. I walked to the front desk to be face to face with the same sketchy old lady from last night. I guess she remembered me to cause her face twisted into a snare, making her face even more ugly then it already was. Giving her a sigh I said, "here, I'm leaving how much do I owe you?" I questioned not trying to hide the disgust in my voice. " $40 dollars a night or can you not read?" I growled under my breath mumbling insults in my head. "Here keep the change you old hag." I threw the money on the counter it was a $50. Maybe she'll get some plastic surgery or something.

       I walked out to my truck and tucked them safely inside. I jogged around to my side and got in. Starting the truck, I backed out on to the main road and drove farther into the city. Once I came closer to a better area I stopped outside an apartment building. As I got out I took the twins hands and walked into the building. It looked.... nice, well better than the motel we stayed in anyway. Sighing, I walked up to the front desk and the middle aged lady looked up and smiled at me. "What can I help you with?"

       Flashing her a small smile I answered her question. "Um, do you have an apartment I can rent?"

       She nodded. " 'course dear. What exactly do you need?" She asked me.

       "A two bedroom apartment if that's available, but if not we'll be fine with one bedroom." I said with a strong voice.

      "Sure sweetie here's your key. It's $200 hundred a month, just call the front desk if you ever have questions."

      I nodded and gave her a small smile. I walked up the stairs and looked at the door numbers 102,103,104. Bingo! I pushed the key into the lock and turned it, and pushed the door open when I heard the lock click open. Sighing I walked into the room and sat the twins on the couch, then went out to the truck to get the rest of our stuff. I walked back to the room and pilled it all by the door.
