Life is a journey

▪▪▪

I'm at home alone staring outside my large window draped from top to bottom with expensive curtains. New York is never boring nor dead. Always filled with one activity or another.

With one corner of my eye, I sight a mother scolding her daughter for doing something wrong and I start to think how it'll feel getting scolded.

My growling stomach disrupts my thoughts, I look up to check the time from my vintage Clock which is very expensive. The time reads 8:09am.

I jolt up from bed immediately and make my way to the door not before getting a long robe to cover up my almost bare skin.

I walk down the long rail of stairs carefully admiring piece of art hung around the corner and suddenly i take in the nice aroma of breakfast already being made by Chef Tina.

Chef Tina is my mom's chef. She prepares all the dishes in the house and I must admit that they are quite tasty. I know you might be wondering why I'm not at school. Well it's Saturday and my parents are already at work while my brother should still be sleeping or must have gone to one of his girlfriends house. Yes I said girlfriends

"Good morning Ma'am" Greets Chef Tina in her high pitched voice

"Morning" I simply return her greeting

"We are having garnished Potato with bay leaves and smoothie" Chef Tina says with a smile which is always on her face

"That sounds delicious..My plate please" I say taking a look at the wide screen television hung beside an antique picture

Fashion tv was on.

Chef Tina serves me my own portion and goes up to her own chamber in the house as fast as I can comprehend

I am almost done with my food before I hear footsteps coming from the stairs and that can only mean two things. Jayden is home or One of the maids is coming.

I stop eating and look towards the stairs to see who it is but No one shows up.

I shrug and continue eating my food

*Boo!*

I jump from where I am seated to the living room as quick as possible grabbing a knife

I turn and see someone laughing so hard holding his head.. guess who the someone is? Jayden

"Really? You think this is funny? Scaring your sister while she's eating is funny to You?" I calmly say careful not to vent out all my anger on him

"Chill sister. I was only trying...to..help. You need some fun in your life. You are always home. You never go out!" Jason says amidst laughter

I use the opportunity to move close to him and step on his foot

" Ouhhh" he cries out

Satisfied at my self, I pull out my tongue at him

"Okay to he honest, Audrey, you need to live life Okay?" He says placing his hand on my shoulder

"Oh shut up!" I say removing his hand from my shoulder.

"This is my life and i know how to live it" I continue placing my hands on my hips to look daring which I'm sure i failed drastically at considering the funny look on Jayden's face
