Grace

Grace chapter 1

I start walking home from a bad and useless day of school my friend Marley slowly follows and begins to turn into her street " byee grace I'll talk to you soon " she then goes to walk but I'm knocked off my feet with a mind blowingly huge hug we both automatically start crying as its my last day here I'm moving America tomorrow .

"You can't leave you have to stay" Marley cries

" I can't my mum and dad are making me" I say with eyes full of tears. I see my mums car pull up on the side of the road I turn to see her waiting with a tired droopy face. My mum was sweet and lovely and she cared for everyone but lately she just seems so tired and she has been quiet which is weird cause she's usually the one that you could be over the road and still here her giggling with my little sister rose.

" common grace we need to get home" mum says

" just wait mum" I say as I wipe away another tier

"NOW" she yells

" fine" I give one last squeeze to marley as I turn away to get in the car.

" I'll talk to you soon I promise " I say , then I clip in my seat belt and wait for mum to start driving. I block out every noise and I stare at my feet. I wasn't strong enough to look back at Marley but something told me I should but I resisted.

I walk in the door of my house and I go to walk Into my near empty room as I notice the whole living area wasn't clear i got ask mum why it wasn't all packed away but something triggered me to say

" why are we even leaving for America only a few months the ago you and dad were saying this is your dream house and how it is the perfect home" I cant help saying more but I force myself to stop. Mum turns to me and looks to the ground and sais

" I don't know " slow tears start rolling down her face

" WHAT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!" i start automatically yelling but I calm my self " so we are just moving for no reason?" My voice fades into a soft sound I feel the big lump in my throat like I'm about to cry but I hold it in.

" I don't know" she sais with her soft a dreary voice she sniffles a few times and wipes her tears but they keep coming, she's not even looking at me she never was she staid staring at the ground.

I couldn't help the need to yell " MUM WHAT ARE TRYING TO TELL ME ? ........" I burst into tears hoping mum wasn't going to say I don't know again

Mum interrupts what I was trying to say and she yells " I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, YOUR MOVING WITH YOUR FATHER!" She faintly looks up at me then she turns her head to the floor agin

" what I don't get it what ?" I cry

"Me and your father um" she bursts out into even more tears and she goes to say more but I stop her

I fall to ground and say " your getting divorced" something in me told me to say it

" sweety we were going to tell you sooner but.........

" BUT WHAT MUM" I interrupt

I get up and run to my room I fall hard on my bed and just cry sooo hard. My blonde hair kept getting in my face. I'm 13 and now my parents break up I have a little sister who's 4 who is the sweetest person I ever met ( she's also the most annoying *cough, cough*)

But my parents seemed so happy together I haven't seen them had a huge fight. " MY GOD HAIR GET OUT OF MY FACE" I scream. I put my head in my pillow and find I feel better with my eyes shut so I lay there.

I find my self waking up I must've gone to sleep I rub my eyes and notice mum beside me I quickly go to sit up but mum said a word that stopped me for a second

" destiny"

What could that mean I want to ask but I can't say anything I'm not brave enough yet

" destiny is hope, hope is love, love is everything we could be , my heart stopped when I saw you u were something and you still are just wish appon a shooting star and you will go very fare" she poets to me

I get that huge lump in my throat.

" honey I love you very much ok I need you to know that"

" I know mum but why I thought you loved each other" I say with a sleepy voice

" your father has a girlfriend over there he loves her very much and he wants to move over there with her" she says looking down again

" wait so he was cheating on you and I have to live with him "

" yes and I want you with me but the judge gave your father custody cause he has a stable family over there"

" but I want to stay here mum" I cry

" I know" she leans over and hugs me

It's about 4:00 in the afternoon and I decide to get up and have a early shower and get into my pajamas I can here rose singing to a nursery rhyme that she doesn't know the words of. I finish off brushing my long hair and I walk out to see dad on the couch with a beer I try to engore him but he sees me and says

" she's a lovely lady she loves kids to, you'll love her "

I just shrug my shoulders and go to walk away but dad interrupts me again

" sweetie it's time you start living in the real world now give me a hug"

Usually I would then run up to him for a huge hug but this time I just continue walking to my room.
