Can't we go back ?

Chapter 4

Our new home and where it all went down hill

We got in the van which was supposed to take us to our new home, so we load ours bags and we get in the back, all I can do is put my ear phones in and listen to my music...

I begin to think of that girl and the sad part is I didn't even get her name, but I did get her number !
Within a second I pull hat piece of paper out and type in her number and I freeze...
What do I say ?
What if it's a fake number ?
What if she got a new number ?
With the courage I swallowed, I texted her, saying...

"Hey... umm it's me Ryder..."
I lock my phone and as I slide it in my pocket it vibrates...
"Finally you text me !! Why did you take so long I've been waiting so long !!"
"Awww that nearly made me blush."
All I can do is laugh...

On the way to our new house, me and my new "friend" were talking the whole time until we finally got there....

"So I never got your name ?"
"It's Estelar."
"Is that Portuguese?"
"How did you know ?"
"I'm also Portuguese...and I'm sorry for this but I have to go right now maybe we can chat later ?"
"It's a date !"

I slide my phone into my pocket and get out the car, I throw my bag over my shoulder and I feel a heavy object jump onto my back... of course it was Mathew...
"I'm tired so you must carry me!"
I carry my brother all the way into the house, the outside looks like a giant broken down castle with broken black paints strips tearing off the wall,and the roof has broken down as if it was blown up during a world war...

"Don't worry, it won't look like this after a few renovations."
"At least it's better than a dump..."
My sister pointed out as we walked into the house and after all, it looked better inside than it did outside...
"It has that old lady smell, I CALL UPSTAIRS!"

I run up the stairs with Mathew on my back just to put him in a better mood, I had to act his age so I could see him smile, he had the best smile out of the whole family...
"Slow down Riddie I can't hold on tight !"
"I got you, remember?"
"Of course !"

Dinner time came where we were sitting around our very own fireplace, which had no fire, we eating fast food burgers and fries with our own milkshakes...
"I expected better to be honest... I mean don't say you have the best burgers if it's not even rate 3 stars..."

My dad always moaned about the food he ate...
"Well just give it a week where I'll make the food and maybe you can moan less about the food and maybe we won't get sick from this road kill !"
Later on we cleaning up the house and putting away our luggage in our own rooms..

As I slowly packed away my clothes into my closet, I started to unpack my shoes until my phone started to ring...
I looked at the caller ID and it was labeled Isabella...

"Hey..."
"Hey you!" She replied with a happy tone...
"So listen about this morning..."
"Water under the bridge !"
Woah wait a second ?!? I thought she would be furious...

"Listen there's something I've been meaning to tell you... remember Ross from that party we went to few weeks back... we were kind of seeing each..."

Memories come back of the party, she was flirting with many people and apparently she kissed a man named Ross...

"Listen Isabella I don't really care ! To be honest you two deserve each other and you two can be happy the way you two want to be just know something ! When word gets out of what you done... be ready to be called a hoe."

I hang the phone up...
well there goes my heart...
right out the window...
That made things easier !

Well anyway ...
I plug my phone into the charger and I continue with packing my clothes and shoes...

Later on when I finally done making the room how I wanted it to be I lay on my bed, turn on my console and return to the virtual world...

My phone began to ring after a few hours and thank the lord... it was Estelar...
"Hey you !!"
"Heyyy !"
"So listen..." I began to say
"You sure we fine being friends because I mean we both came out of our messy relationships and we both need time to heal but maybe we could heal over a cup of coffee ?"
"You asking me out ?"
"It doesn't have to be a date..."
"Ryder, I would love to !"
"Great !"

We talked on the phone for about an hour or so until she had to go...
So I continued to play my Video game...

I was playing Batman Arkham Night at the time and I was really close to complete and receive the 100% reward... where all of a sudden, my father was down stairs and he called me...
That's weird ? What does he need me for ?
"RYDER COME DOWN HERE FOR A SECOND !"
I was able to say he called me from the kitchen,

"Give me a second !"
I switched my console off and walked down the stairs slowly waiting to see what was going on, but what I saw...
that moment something hit my head I felt my legs drop and my vision to get blurred and I fall to the ground...

After an hour of me laying on the floor I push myself off the floor and once my vision cleared I saw the men from the airport, one man was holding my dad against the wall with a gun pointing to his head, from where I was it looked like a blood trail leading while the other was leaning against the counter...

"Hey Mathew, Emily... Just clean your rooms and stay in them for a little bit I will come get you in a while !"

I didn't hear a reply...
