Don't Speak (5SOS AU)

Chapter 2

HONK HONK

I mentally groaned as dad honked the car horn, the sound making my ears ring.

"Wake up, we're here" he said, leaving the car and not forgetting to slam the door.

The sound on the car door slamming made me jolt up, and I felt a headache forming.

Grabbing all my stuff, and I left the car and softly closed the car door. Looking at the new house, I started to grin. Maybe this would be a new beginning, I thought.

"What are you doing just standing there? Get your ass to work!" Dad exclaimed as he threw the new house key at me. My grin disappeared and was replaced with a frown.

Using my fast reflexes, I swiftly grabbed the key, which could've hit me  in the face, and went towards the house. Standing in front of the door, I tried putting the key on the lock. It wouldn't go in. I then realized that the key was upside down. Silly me. I flipped the key and it went smoothly  into the lock.

Opening the door, I looked at the living room. Empty. At the very end of the room, there was a staircase. Assuming that was upstairs, I went up the staircase. Looking into the hallway, there were two bedrooms and one bathroom. I went into the first room, seeing if it was the master bedroom. It wasn't. So that room would be mine. I had my own mini bathroom too.

I put all of my stuff on the window ledge, then looked out the window. I saw dad in the driveway with his car. He was standing behind the car trunk, and what looked like screaming on the phone. His face was beet red and there was steam coming out of his ears. (Not literally) There were a few boxes beside him too. I would rather stay up here in my new room and get away from dad, but I knew that would only make him more mad. So I left my room, went downstairs and left the house.

Trying to get out of my dad's way, I grabbed a box and brought it to the living room. The box was labeled "Myla's Stuff" in my neat handwriting.

I brought the box up to my room, then I went back outside and grabbed another box.

After I eventually finished putting the boxes away and Dad went into the basement, I  just decided to colour. I had a passion for colouring in those adult colouring books. They just calmed me down and made me happy. I was colouring this crab that said "BOSS BITCH" when I heard a loud laugh from outside my window.

Sighing because I still had a headache from earlier today, I got up from where I was sitting on the wooden floor and looked out my window. There was a pale guy with vibrant red hair wearing what looked like an extremely oversized black sweater and the skinniest black jeans I've ever seen. He was sitting in a red-and-white-striped lawn chair laughing on the phone. Since he was on the lawn facing me, I assumed he was living in the house facing me. I had to admit, he was kinda cute.

I guess I was staring too long and dazed off because when I snapped out of it, the cute stranger was looking at me. Letting out a little squeal, I quickly ducked. Feeling embarrassed, I waited a few minutes before looking up again, peeking my head out the window. There he was, back on the phone.

I really wanted to go up to him and try to be his friend..but I can't.
