Chapter 5

Sophie is still driving and she's asking us questions like, what's our fav colour? And what is our fav foods?. So far she seems nice which I hate to admit but I'm sure she'll become like the evil step mother off Cinderella. Rose is asleep again and all I can think of Is Sophie being a big old evil witch.

" we don't have long to go" Sophie cheers with excitement expecting us to be all happy and cheerful to but that never comes

Dad Troyes to up the beat by turning up the music and singing out loud. The weird thing is dad seems the same his normal self which is not what I expected. With the music up loud rose starts to wake up, as I see her open her eyes I see innocence a girl that has being thrown in to this without really knowing what's wrong. When she opens her big blue eyes they turn to me then she closes them again. I never paid attention to Sophie's image I was more focused on what dad was doing the whole time. She has long brown hair and brown eyes, the complete opposite of me. She had the perfect white teeth, she was tanned and she had a really good body shape I can see why she's a model.

" just a couple more streets till where home" Sophie says

" this will never be home " I mumble quietly

" what was that dear" Sophie said again

" Oh nothing" I once again mumble but a bit louder this time.

" oh ok sweetie" she says trying to be sweet

I don't understand why she's calling me these names she's not my mum and " she'll never be my mum" I accidentally say aloud

The car becomes pitch quiet as dad turns off the music. I felt really bad I didn't know what to do or what to say, all she was trying to do was be nice and I completely ruined it.

Dad turns to me and gave me a stare that he always does when he's disappointed in me. I automatically feel more guilty so I put my head down trying not to look in the revision mirror.

The car stopes in a drive way of a rather nice house Sophie looks down and softly says " this is it " she get out of the car in a slow manner and heads to the door as she turns the key in the lock I feel more and more guilty. She opens the door and a wift of fragrance catches my nose, it smells like the beach the fresh summer air.

She walks in and we follow, dad is holding rose as she is still asleep. She leads us to our rooms and and faintly says this ones yours. She has gone to so much effort prepping the rooms for us there's Doona covers on the bed to the little pens and pencils. I walk in feeling a sense of freedom and peace. Sophie and dad go put rose in her room and then go look around the house.
