Lifes an Adventure

"PLEASEEEE!" My little sister said."Pleeeaaase let me push you in the shopping cart.Im a big girl you wont fall".

'No" I said.Libby was one of those kids with big puppy eye,I just wouldnt let her a couple of boys from school were across the alley,and i didnt want them seeing me in a shopping cart.I took off my glasses cause i wanted to look cute

"pleeeeasee" Libby Said

"Oh All Right" Those boys didnt like me anyway.I climed into the cart and libbys face brightened,God shes such a brat,I watched as she scruched up her face with the effort of trying to push me,She Started running,her face alight but suddenly the cart to a halt the next thing i knew my head thumped on the sidewalk and the shopping cart crashed against my nose

"Ow You said i wouldnt fall!"

"im sorry,Im sorry there was a huge crack in the ground"Maddie helped me get the cart off your "your nose is bleeding"

"yours would be too"I took a glance at the boys there were watching and laughing as my mom would say "some men just have no manners" I got up to my feet and wiped under my nose to wipe away blood

Libby was near to crying"im sorry"

"You almost Gave me a concussion"i said.I stomped away,I knew libby was following because i could hear her behind me repeating sorry over and over again.We Went Home,when i got home My sisters mary and lassy opended the door

"Hi your nose is bleeding" lassy had said,Way to state the obivous

"Weres Mom"I said

"Getting dressed"Mary said."You should do something with your nose shelby"

'My eye hurts to"i say

"Its all red"marys says

There was pounding on our front door.From the other side of the door i could hear paul one of my moms exboyfriends,It was such a usual thing that we didnt even care anymore.See Paul Like i said was my moms ex,After she dumped him he would always come to our house pouding on our door because he wanted my mom back,my mom dosnt work like that my moms a sexpot.

"Lets Open i want to see what happens"Libby says Her short hair was sticking out every which way looking like she combed it with a rock.

We all turned to mary,She shook her head no."that will just cause trouble"she thought some more. "not that trouble isnt fun sometimes but mmom said not to open it.

The pounding grew louder"I can hear you in there open this door" paul shouts he says the "th like "z". he continues to pound."im killing myself here"he adds

If we were anyone esle the neighbors would have already called the police.But we were who we were.My mother walks calmly out of her bedroom,and us girls split as if my mother were the queen of the world.she goes to the door and shouts at him "believe me,no man has ever commited suicide my pounding his head on a door" 

she turned to me" bathroom come now".she was over dressed as usual the four of us made a semicircle around her in the bathroom she leaned toward me,examing my face."hmm good theres no injury to the eye itself and you should be thankful your nose isnt broken" she stood up with out asking what happened to me,"Oh and shelby clean up your face,the rest of you start packing were going a road trip"

to libby mom says "your hair- it looks like a spiders web go brush it".To mary she says " make sure the girls pack everything there going to need we may be gone a couple of weeks" To lassy"were going to california to see your father"

I sit on the bathroom floor holding a tissue to my nose.when my nose stops bleeding,i check the mirror.My eyes swollen and red.some times i could kill libby.I went to the bedroom to pack my sisters had already thrown some clothes into my bag.paul was pounding still but it wasnt as loud.As we walked out the back door mimicing our mothers movements,we could still hear the steady thumping,i wondered how long he would continue.Mrs.more and mrs.feder were talking on the back stairway they stopped when they saw us we continued to walk

"whats wrong with that girls face"mrs.feder calls out looking at me

                             and thats how i came hanging my head out the car window with a sore eye,the warm air pounding my face as we continued our adventure to california and lassys dad.
