meeting my mum chapter 2

Firstly iv now decided I'm not going to dwell on the past and my fathers death because he would of wanted me to move on in life and be strong. So here I am finally arriving at my new 'home' after being stuck between a gross bald guy on the plane ,who had disgusting habits (such as picking his nose and whipping it on the seat in front of him or sneezing on his hand and licking it off ,and evan worse..) he made me feel physically sick. But then it was no better on the other side, were a women around 27 sat with her toddler who kept puking on the floor. (he evan got me!) and crying none stop. How can a kid that small have that much energy to scream for 10 hours only having short breaks ,whilst eating and drinking or having a very very short nap ?? I mean come on really what have I ever done to deserve how my life is turning out?? I was snapped out of my thoughts by the cab pulling up out side a rather large house in a quiet looking neighbour hood. The scruffy cab drive gave me a dirty look in the rear view mirror as i gaped at the beautifully large house, but I didn't miss that look out of the corner of my eye as he said very un-politly

"are you gonna get outta the car or not? I do have a job to do you know"

I returned his dirty look and payed him the money for the ride. And unloaded my 2 suit cases and bag from it with out his help may I add. As soon as I took a step away from the cab he spun it right back around and sped off like his life depended on it.

"Wow thanks for the help" I said to my self sarcastically whilst rolling my eyes into my head.

I started up the steps next to the drive struggling with my luggage. I finally made it to the fancy white door and knocked loudly three times. But no one came. I knocked again harder this time. And it opened to a women dressed in a black slim dress that came above her knees and hugged her perfectly ,along with black open toe heels. She had piercing green eyes that reminded me much of my own and very long eyelashes coated with a thin layer of mascara, she also had very thin natural pale pink lips ,and mousy brown shoulder length hair that looked to be very fine. She had a very pointy petite nose that had obviously had work done to it and high cheek bones tinted with blush. This women also was wearing a pearly white necklace and matching bracelet and earrings. She looked as if she was ready to go out for dinner or some thing. Then she finally spoke after taking in the sight in front of her.

"I believe you to be scarlet ?" She arched a perfect eyebrow at me as she said this.

"Y..yes" I spoke in a very small voice. Normally I am loud,bold and crazy but this women seemed threatening so I didn't feel comfortable speaking out loud.

"nice to see you again after all this time sweety" this unknown women said very enthusiastically as she engulfed me into a hug which caught me off guard.

My eyebrows nitted together into a frown after she let me go so I could breath again.

"We have met before??"I questioned

"Yes honey of course we have. Its me!" She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world . Then it hit me "mum?" I whispered more to my self than to her.

"Yes honey its me now come in side so you can meet every one" she rushed it out as if some thing exiting was about to happen. I deepened my frown as I grabbed my 2 suit cases and my 'mum' carried my ruck sack inside. 'Well she looks as if she's off the drugs'n'beer 'I thought in my head.

Inside the house it felt comfy and warm, you could tell it was a family home. when I walked in it was all painted in warm and vibrant colours and the floor was marble. In front of me was a marble stair case and to the left was an open archway leading into what looked to be a living room but it had carpet and not marble flooring. On the right side of that room was another room that was open up too. It looked to be a dinning room that had laminate flooring and cream walls. On the right of the house was a kitchen that to was under an arch way ,and on the other side of that was a room with a wooden door that said 'office' on the front. Then I noticed behind the posh marble stair case was 2 double oak doors. What lay beyond that was a mystery to me. My thoughts and examination were once again cut off by my mother shouting "every one get out here. Scarlet is home"

It felt weird her saying I was 'home' after she was the one that left ,NOT me. And who was this "everyone" how many was here exactly?

I heard fast foot steps coming down the stairs I looked up to see two teenagers running down the stairs a boy and a girl. I first looked at the boy who was around 17 and was wearing a checkered button down blue shirt with a grey top under neath and black jeans aswell as converse pumps. He was also very handsome,tall and looked as if he would be popular because of his confidence. He had brown longish hair with a fringe swooped to one side and beautiful blue eyes. I darted my eyes over to the girl as the boy was about to look at me. I could tell he was smirking at me. But instead of reacting I sent all my attention to the girl who had fake blond hair that was up in a messy bun. The girl also had blue eyes but a lighter shade than the boy. She also had a perfect nose I assumed she had a nose job for that. Also like my mother this girl was very slim but she had big boobs that could catch any bodys attention. This girl had thick eyelashes coated in mascara and looked to have tons of make up on. She was wearing a tad to short denim skirt and belly top showing off her very flat belly which had a pierced belly button too. She was wearing black boots that had a spiky heel on that I would appreciate not being stepped on by.she looked about 18 but i could see through all the make up and I'd say she was about 16. Then I saw a little girl that was around 5 tumble into the room wearing a polka dotted dress and knee high socks with little slip on shoes. She had mousy brown long locks that bounced as she ran towards us. She had green eyes unlike the two teenagers. She looked so sweet, innocent and adorable that I just wanted to pick her up and squish her with a tight loving hug.

"Were is your father" my mum asked looking confused. As she put the little girl on her hip.

"Where he aslways is" the boy muttered.

"Oh ok so he's working then" mum stated with a hint of disappointment. While nodding her own head.

Finally she seemed to snap out of her thoughts and realise that I was still here because she said

"Oh scarlet! Sorry let me introduce you"

My mum pointed to the teenagers and said " this is Matt my step-son and Clair my step-daughter"

"Hiya" I greeted with abit more confidence than before.

"Hey" matt nodded to me

"Hi" Clair beamed at me faking enthusiasm.

Finally mum pointed to the little girl who was now sat on the bottom step sucking her thumb.

"And this is my daughter Rosie -lee" my mum seemed to have pride in her words as she said that with a smile on her face and you could see the love she had for her daughter in her eyes.

"Hello rosie-lee" I kneeled down so I could be at her level.

"Hello" she giggled looking so adorable it made me stretch my lips into an honest smile. One that I hadn't worn since the death of my father. But it quickly faded.

"And scarlet I think you will be very surprised when my other children get back. But now I will take you to your room so you can get settled in. Oh and later Matt and Clair can show u around our house." Came my mothers voice.

Both Matt and Clair moaned at that remark. Guess they don't wanna show me around. Thanks for showing how welcomed I am I thought sarcastically. I rolled my eyes mentally.

"Nar its ok don't wanna have to disturb the important things they obviously have to do."I gave them a little smile. But my voice my dripping with sarcasm, one of my specialities.

"No don't be silly they'd love too! Won't yous?" She gave them a look that said 'you-better-be-nice-to-her-and-show-her-around-or-else!'

"Ill just go and explore later really its fine" I gave my mum a reassuring smile just to prove my point.

"Well ok dear as long as your sure"

I nodded my head as an answer.
