Chapter 2: My childhood home

We've been driving for two hours and the car rides been silent all I can here is the gravel under the tyres and music playing softly. It's actually starting to frustrate me I have to break the silence but all that came out was "I thought you guys didn't have enough money to even get me here how'd you afford this?" Ok I'm sorry it slipped ok but I was curious and I know curiosity killed the cat but you guys would be curious about something like this right.

"Well mum seems to have her ways" Bessie replied tucking a strand of her dirty blonde hair behind her ears and away from her crystal clear green eyes, jeez she has the same colour eyes as me but I've got dads hair it's more a strawberry colour I guessing we get the eyes from mum. "Well if she had her ways she could've had her ways to get me here instead of using MY college funds which for a fact I cannot afford now." Ok sorry I don't mean to be this harsh it's just I'm confused. "Would you just shut up be grateful your even here I haven't seen you since I was 1 and all of a sudden you want to come expecting us to use our money not yours!" Bessie shouted making the driver slam on his breaks. I just turned and stared out the window not saying another word for the rest of the drive which earned me death glares from my mum and Bessie.

"Get out we're home." Bessie saying grumpily getting out of the car I mean hummer slamming the door behind her, I flinched at the sound wow I really made her mad. "Don't worry about her she's just emotional not growing up with a dad and all but you'll learn to get used to it." Mum said giving me and apologetic but forced smile huh I really did have her eyes didn't I... wait I got to get used to her growing up without a dad when I grew up without a mother. "Yea and I definitely am not emotional growing up without a mother to be there when I needed her." I grunted and got out of the car slamming the door behind me as well. "Ali that's not what I meant I'm sorry it's just..." I ignored the rest because I just got here I don't need to be piled with excuses.

As I walked around to grab my luggage the driver grabbed them "Don't worry dear it's my job to take these to your room oh and show you to your new room." Seriously they have a servant?! "Is it the same room when I was 4?" I asked knowing it probably was since I'm back at my childhood home. "Yes Ali it is but it's Johns job to show you." Mum said appearing around the corner leaning up against the car. "Whatever come on John where's my room?" John and I started walking towards the house "Ali just know I do love you" mum mumbled to herself obviously not quiet enough. "No mum if you loved me you would have made the effort to beg dad to let me fly over." After that I stormed into the house. I don't want this argument with mum right now and I don't know if I ever will. "Tough day?" John asked trying to lift off the tension "No tough life, I've grown up without my mother and sister always wanting to come here or have contact with them but as far as I'm concerned they didn't do any of that." I stumbled trying to hold back tears knowing what I said was true.

Why am I here anyway if what I said was true then why? "Ma'am this is your room I'll put your luggage in and leave you to it." "John do not call me ma'am ever again" I told him as serious as I tried to be I started laughing until the tears fell. "Ma- I mean Ali are you ok?" John sounded really concerned he must not used my mothers or Bessie's name very often but of course I didn't tell him the real reason I just chuckled and shrugged it off saying it was just the laughter.

"Knock, knock" I turned to look who was at the door and it was Bessie. "Hi what do you want I'm trying to text Emmet and Dad." I started feeling like I don't belong here I already wanted to go home but I wasn't going to tell dad that it will just make him worry about me more. "Right, dad um can I talk to you please?" I looked back up at Bessie's pleading eyes and I felt guilty she was only 13 and didn't understand as much as I did, so I patted a spot at the edge of my bed motioning for her to sit down.

"What's up, you aren't here to criticise me again are you?" I said chuckling " No.. I just wanted to know what's dad like exactly?" She seemed like she actually wanted something to do with dad. "Well why don't you find out yourself." She looked at me trying to process what I meant but before she had time to respond I dialled in dads number praying to the lord that he answers. "Hello Ali what's wrong?" Dad said as he answered the phone , "Nothing dad it's just Bessie asked me what you were like and she wants to talk to you." Bessie shot me a glare before saying "H-hi d-dad."

"Thank you so much Ali I'm so sorry for my dummy spit in the hummer, I don't understand why you did this for me and I probably never will but I thank you so much for it just don't tell mum ok." Bessie said pulling me into a hug. Why wouldn't Bessie want mum to know? I don't know I'm too tired to think i think I'll just go to bed. "It's ok and look at the time it's getting late and I'm getting tired I guess I will see you in the morning." I responded pulling her away from me. As she got to the door she turned around a said "Goodnight Ali." Then as I went to turn off my lamp she launched herself back into my room as if she forgot something and it actually made me jump.

" I forgot to tell you do not go behind the door across from your room!" She sounded scared or threatened but before I could ask why she slammed the door shut behind her and a click on what sounded like she just locked the door from the outside, but I just brushed the thought away and drifted off to sleep...

*thump*thump*thump*
"Shhhh.. your going to wake Alice up." I overheard mum whispering across from my room. I just woke up from hearing thumping and now mums telling someone to shush, I turned and looked at the time on my clock it has just hit 3am on the dot am I ever going to get a nice sleep here. Maybe I'm just imagining things who knows I'm just going to try go back to sleep. As I rolled over to my side to drift back off to sleep I heard mums voice again "No you cannot come out while Alice is home you have been acting terrible and I'm not having you freak Alice out the way you scared Bessie." Mums words sent chills down my spine who scared Bessie and who is mum talking to?

I heard another thump as if someone was trying to get out of a door, the Bessie's words ran through my mind like a marathon... do not go behind the door across from your room... I was snapped back to reality when I heard a click at my door then my door creaked open, lucky I was already turned over so I just pretended to be asleep then I heard the door shut as I heard Bessie walk down the hallway from her room.

Bessie's POV-
Great just great mums still talking to her, she seriously needs to stop otherwise if Ali overhears her then she will be getting questioned in the morning. "Mum!" I shouted softly, but when she turned to me they weren't the soft, green eyes I normally saw they were dark, wide and bloodshot it looked as if mum hadn't had any sleep and has been crying. Mums dirty blonde hair was saturated so she's definitely been crying.

I ran up to mum giving her a hug, I'm seriously worried about mum she can't keep talking to her like this anymore especially with Ali that close to her door. "Mum you need to go to be you can't keep talking to her she's not real she's in your head." Mum shook her head furiously "No she is real you can't say she isn't real." Mum had a look of denial in her eyes but I knew deep down she agreed with me "Mum don't you remember what she did to me yet you still talk to her like you are best friends!" I shouted softly so I didn't wake Ali up but as I looked at mum a shot of recognition zipped through her eyes.

"Come on mum you need to sleep this will be over in the morning." I went over to start leading mum as all she did was nod her head slowly. "Goodbye I will be here tomorrow don't worry" I was scared about what mum just said to her but I needed to get her to bed. As I tucked mum in I gave her a kiss on her forehead and started walking back to my bedroom. As I got closer to my room I heard *thump* THump* THUmp* THUMp*THUMP* and then it stopped as I jumped into my room my heart was pounding it felt like it was about to rip my chest open "Hello Bessie I know you were just there can you open the door please so I can talk to your mother?" She said the the doors she was trapped behind.

My cheeks started to feel warm and wet then I realised I have tears running down my face. It's all starting again she's coming back into my head because I led mum back to her room. It's all Ali's fault, Ali and dad are the reason mum even let her into mums life, and mum normally has her chats but it hasn't been this severe since mums best friend passed away 3 years after dad and Ali left us, now after the fight mum had with Ali mums more vulnerable SO THIS IS ALL ALI'S FAULT!!!

Authors note// what is all Ali's fault? And who is her? Why did Bessie seem so scared when telling Ali not to go behind the door? And what did her mums "friend" do to Bessie before? Find out in a few chapters time anyway how was that chapter? What it better than the other chapter? Let me know in the comment and I'm actually proud of this chapter I had a bit of a muck up when trying to write something then ended up getting rid of two paragraphs anyway bye I'm going to go and think about life aha ok bye and I hope you like this story so far thank you for reading.
