Chap.1

At 4:00 am I hear my alarm clock go off. At least I think it's 4am I'm to lazy to open my eyes. For most teenagers right now they are probably waking up and getting ready to go to their wonderful schools to learn and spend time with friends. I on the other hand am getting ready for nothing...seriously nothing. I actually don't know why I started so early with my day. I'm going to go back to bed now. I'll start my day in a couple of hours.

*a couple of hours later**

"Adeline! Adeline get up," I feel her hand on my shoulder shaking a little. "you need to go and get out of the house make some friends! Adeline!"

My mom, the reason why I left everyone and thing behind in my beloved hometown, Wisconsin. Well she's half the reason but I blame her fully because my dad is no longer breathing for me to blame him. He died this year three months ago actually. I was the one who found him laying in his bed, asleep...but with a black hole through his skull and laying in a Red Sea on the bed. I'm taking it okay, so far. I'm mostly mad at my mom she took everything away from me. I actually cared about my friends and boyfriend, I left behind. Friends could have helped me coupe better. And we all know long distance relationships never work out. So them being there and me being in the wonderful sunshine state of California...we had to forget about friendships and I got over it all alone. My mom still mourns.

My mom is a lawyer so she can work anywhere. She's even working on my dads case with some detectives. My dad was murdered. It's so harsh, the word murdered. But anyways she says she's working harder and harder and is close to discovering who did this to our wonderful family...I just want to forget and move on. My dad was a cop and put many bad people away. My mother says he was most likely killed by one of the people for revenge.

"Okay okay I'm getting up, go away." I groan as she opens the curtains and lets that stupid natural light come in.

"What are you going to do today? You could go to the grocery store for me I need some stuff to make that cake recipe, the upside down one. You could do that?" She asks me with way to much positivity.

"Umm no thanks Laura there are way to many strangers that could kill me at the grocery store, especially in the cereal section..." I yawn and laugh at the end of my sentence cause, that was a good pun. My mom didn't get it though. "Oh okay dear where are you going today then?" Laura asks again.

"Wherever my feet lead me Laura, now please leave my room." I say with aggravation.

"Oh well okay I'll be here, I'm going to paint my room and the halls today with some people from my work so I'll be upstairs, all day probably. If you need anything at all call me I'll be there in a second. Okay sweetie?"

She's standing in the doorway now so I just get up and slam the door in her face.

"That's not nice. And one last thing either I am or you can, but the walls in that room need to be painted over, that shade is horrible and fit nothing of the things you already have. Tell me what color and I'll get the paint this week you can paint it this weekend! Okay love you Hun." And then I hear her footsteps walk away and up stairs.

After she's gone I get ready for my day.

The only positive about a new house is my on suite bathroom, it's not big or anything but it's so amazing when you're a teenager. I take a shower in about 5 minutes, I just needed to wash my hair. Then I look for my outfit.

When my mom mourns she shops, and thank god for that. I've got enough cloths to last me an entire summer if I wear a different outfit a day. We didn't have this much money till about three months ago...my dad had good coverage on his life.
