Trapped In A World

Gunshot

It's been 2 hours since my mother died. I still haven't stopped crying. I sat at the kitchen table as my dad begins to make hot chocolate. There was a dead silence while he was making it. It was finally done and he sat at the table. We slowly sipped it while we discussed where we would put my mothers stuff. We decided to do a yard sale because she had mostly clothes and make-up, but we just through away the make-up. We felt it was unnecessary to keep her stuff. They were no good.

It didn't take long before my dad found another woman. I knew because he bought me a beautiful Butterfly statue. He never brings me gift, not even for my birthday.

Her name was Marina and she had a daughter the same age as me, 15. I knew that they didn't like me or my father but my dad was too blind to see that. When they look at me they smirk and have an evil face, but they act like blondes in front of my dad.

{Next Day}

I woke up to screaming. I grabbed my phone and rushed downstairs. Before i could make it to the fifth step, I hear a gunshot. It came from my dads room. I was so scared. My heart beat with every slow step I took. I finally made it to his room to find Marina with a pistol in her hand, blood splatters on her face with stream's of tears. I began bawling. Marina slowly walked towards me, so i backed up and finally hit the bloody wall. "I-I-I don't know what I just did," she began, " I just lost it and pulled it out but I didn't mean it," she whimpered. I quickly grabbed the gun and pointed it at her. " Yes You Did!" I yelled, " You never liked him! You just want his money but now it's mine! And you can't have it!" I finished. I grabbed my phone, still pointing the gun, and called the police. They came and arrested her and left.

Veronica came over minutes later with her cousin who was going to be our guardian. They came with big bags and began to unpack in there rooms. Veronica's cousin Mandy agreed to be my guardian for 3 years.

I loved my house way too much to move to a foster home, so I asked if Mandy can be my temporary guardian. She agreed and came over. Since there was and extra room, Veronica asked to live with us and I didn't really mind. But soon enough, things began to twist.
