Mystic Mary

chapter one

"Hurry up Mary we're going to be late" I heard my mother yell just as I was about to light up my last cigarette.

I slid the lighter and cigarette into my pocket, grabbed the last two boxes on my floor, and then took a look at my now empty room, that I would never see again. I walked downstairs and said.

"Okay I'm ready, let's go." She gave me a quick smile and walked outside to the jeep with the Uhaul attached to the back. We both got into the jeep and I started driving. We were going to Mystic falls in Georgia to our new home. I was a little sad to leave so my mom sent me a quick smile and looked at me with her dark sunken in eyes. My mother had stage three breast cancer that was spreading everywhere else in her body. I didn't like to think about it so I would usually drown out the pain with any drugs I could get my hands on. Sadly, they were usually my mom's pain pills. I really didn't care though because I knew she was going to die.

It took us about five days to get to Mystic Falls including stopping to eat and staying at motels over night. I was perfectly fine with that after seeing the house we moved into. It was so nice and rustic with hard wood floors and a great big staircase. It also had modern parts to the house like the kitchen and bathroom. We got the house from the last wish program for cancer patients. Usually it was only a kids thing but my mom was a special exception. The house also came completely furnished thanks to the program. It was now Sunday and I had to go unpack so that I could be ready for school tomorrow. I was already transferred and everything thanks to the program. I went upstairs to get unpacked and run a bath. I snorted some pills, grabbed my last cigarette, and hopped into the bath. After I finished my cigarette, washed, and set my alarm I finally got into bed and went to sleep.
