Black & White: true love hurts

Chapter 2

I watch the trees and the sky as I hear some music from my phone. Georgy deleted all my music because she said it was depressing. I don't think that " Over and over again" by Nathan Sykes, is depressing. Is one of my favorite slow songs. Anyway, I have to admit that  she has a pretty good taste on music.

I moved myself till I got to a comfortable position. In the end I crossed my legs and I lean on the window. We've been in this stupid car for two hours by now and I'm starving. Oh and we still have two more hours untill we arrive.

Yuppyyy *sarcastically*

  Let me explain you a little how St Thomas works. St Thomas it's a private neighborhood. Inside, there are 7 , each with different names. Mine is Sunrise (really romantic). Anyway, my garden is in front of a beautiful blue lake were you can see the fishes jumping. In Sunrise there only are 6 houses, but in total with the other neighborshoods there are at least 18 houses. It's really small. Luckily there's a cinema, so I won't be missing any new upcoming movie.
  Our house is two floors tall. And we only have three neighbors in our same street. And the other four are spread across Sunrise. We used to go there, before the accident, to see  how the construction was going. Mrs Blake, is an old lady that lives in the house next to mine. The few times I saw her, she gave me some cookies (they are the best cookies in the hole world) and invited me to her beautiful garden to have some tea. I'm really looking forward to seeing her.

  "Hey why don't we play a game?" Mom asked as she took my headphones from my ears.

"Hey!!" I claimed as I took them back from her. They were my second baby. My phone was first, then the headphones and then my collection of books. I had many. I read them in one or two days each. I think I read all Harry Potter's books in less than one week and reread then 5 times. I literally know every line."I don't want to play" I put my headphones back" besides you have to focus on the road..." I sigh and watch the sky in my previous position.  Ami touch my arm, as if she was saying: don't worry everyone is fine. But not everyone was fine dad was dead.

*Flashback*

"How about... Pizza!?" I said excited. As he looked at me, I could see he was thinking it through. But I knew him, he'll end up giving himself in.

"Hmm.." He was playing with me. I knew he loves pizza, specially mozzarella pizza. "How about... We grab some Wendy's and we make a Star Wars marathon" Don't get me wrong, I love pizza. I mean it's pizza. P I Z Z A. But I love a good cheeseburger and I love, we love Star Wars. Don't you have any favorite movie with your dad, well ours is Star Wars.

"Mali? Earth calling Malia Skyler Dougler." He was staring at me.

"Hmm.." I was in my world. " Yeah that sounds good. "I let a little smile. He started tickling me.

" St -stop" My words couldn't leave my mouth. I was crying of laughter. He had one hand on the wheel and another one on my stomach tickling me. " WATCH OUT"

*End of flashback*

I was still looking to the sky when all of a sudden I heard mum saying that we arrived. I watched the few small houses. I was hearing Green Day by now. I wasn't focusing, till one house got my attention. It was literally in front of mine. It was a double floor house, with big windows and a green door. It was a light blue beach house with a beautiful porch. I wanted to stay and stare at the house, but no, mom had to get fast to our house to get everything settle.

When we arrived Mrs Blake was waiting for us in the front door with some cookies.

YEYYYYYYYYY.

"Ohh here are my beautiful neighbours. How are you hun?" I jumped out of the car and run towards her and hug her.
Yeah, yeah I know I don't know her so much but I felt like if she was my granny.

"Hello to you too" She said giggling. Mrs Blake must have 83 year old at least. But she pretends to be 68. I love her. " Oh Hi Mary, I've already told everyone in the neighbourhood about you"

"It wasn't necessary" mom said while hugging her.

"Don't be silly" she shook her head. "They will be coming to give you a welcome" she finally gave in and nodded.

We went inside and I chose the room which windows look to the lake and that beautiful house from earlier. I unpack most of my stuff when the neighbours started coming. I run down stairs to open the door.

"Hi we are the Dlofens" a woman with brown curly hair said. I shook their hands and I notice she had a daughter around my age. She looked at me and I, of course, did the same. "She's my daughter Melisa" she continued.

"Hi..." Mom came frome behind. "I'm Marry, she's my eldest daughter Malia" I smiled.
"Alice" They both shooked hands.

I turn towards Melisa " Hey I was wondering if you would like to help me unpack my room". She smiled and nodded.

We went upstairs towards my room. Her eyes were wide open as she entered to the room. I was confused.

"Is there something wrong?" I was so confused, she looked at me with her mouth opened. She slowly closed it and smile at me.

"THIS ROOM IS AMAZING!!!!!" She was fascinated, I looked at her and she grined. She stopped when she saw a box full of books she quickly turn around and looked at me as if Dylan O'Brien had just kissed her. " You read as well?"

" Yes" I murmured. " Do you read?"

" Are you kidding me" I looked down. " I love books... OMG... is that a a skateboard?!"I laugh " I think we are going to be best friends" she giggle and I nodded.

We talk for a while and we ask mom if she could stay the night. We become really close in only one hour. Yeah I know I said I wanted to be alone, but having a friend with me won't kill me. Plus she doesn't know about... Well you know. She left the house and went to her's to fetch her stuff. I started preparing everything, when someone rang the bell door.

" Who could it be at this time of the afternoon?" Mom wondered. Neighbors have been coming all day, and besides it couldn't be Meli she just left. She opened the door to find a man standing with his son and with something in his hand, that it seemed to be food. " Hi... How can I help you?"

" Hi I'm Richard. This is my son Nate..." They continue talking while I stared at him, I think he noticed, but I don't care. He seemed familiar. How could he seem so familiar." ...anyway we wanted to welcome you. We live just across the lake" in that house? In that beautiful house? No it couldn't? Could be?

" Do I know you?" I couldn't resist. I'm an impatient person, and if I think I know someone it's because I know him.

" I don't know..." There was a small silence between us, when he finally broke the ice after he finished looking up and down at me. Yeah I noticed." But now that you say it you really seem familiar. By the way I'm Nate" he showed me his hand for me to take it and shake it. What I finally did.

" Malia, but please, call me Mali" he smirked at me. Nate, Nate why do you sound so... Then it hit me. My face fall. He looked at me with confusion.

" You..." That was the only thing that came out of my mouth. The three of them looked at me. They were confused.
