*Addie's Luck*

chapter 2

I went to the office and sat down in the waiting room. I knew this would be bad since its the beginning of my junior year and I've been in here like almost everyday sine the first. How the hell am I supposed to talk my way out of this one? As I sat and thought about different excuses leading up to the situation a voice disrupted my thoughts.

"Ms. Summers, please come in my office." Ms. Forbes, My principal, called out to the waiting room. i walked into her office. It looked the same as every other day. her long wooden desk sat in the middle of her room with a big APPLE brand desktop computer took up most her space. the computer was surrounded by pictures of her family. Her achievements and degrees hung on the walls around her room, along with drawings from her kids. She was a middle aged looking women, and right now she looked extremely stressed.

"Ms. Forbes, I can explain, he started it nagging ti me and-" i tried my best to explain before she so rudely cut me off.

"Addalynn, listen.. I don't know what you did, nor do I honestly care at the moment. I called you in here today for other reasons far more important than your high school rebel phase." She explained sighing at the end leaving me to wonder what the hell was going on.

"Oh.. than forget I even mentioned anything about the situation, but do you mind telling me what is going on.. I have been in here far to long. Usually I'm in and out of here by now." I said trying to lighten her mood. She seemed kinda upset and I'm not used to it. Usually shes pissed and it's funny but it's ruining my mood right now.

"Addalynn it's about your mother... she was involved in a gang shooting this morning and was shot in the head. She passed away on scene. I'm so sorry for your loss." she said. My mind went blank. Next thing I know I'm on the ground crying. Wait, why would she be in a gang shooting? She was headed for work when I left for school. She's a publisher.. very devoted to her job.. she wouldn't have left the office or anything so there was no way she could have been involved.

"Ms. Summers.." a man in a weird uniform walked in and kneeled down on the ground next to me. "I am Mr. Tim, I will be your case worker in the deciding of where you will reside here on out and make sure you have a stable living condition. I will also help you determine what happened with your mother." he said as I was still trying to wrap my mind around everything that happened.  First my brother, who was my best friend, And now my mother. Even though we argued a lot, and I mean A LOT, I loved her. She didn't abandon me like He did. The he that we never spoke of. The he that left me and my brother, and my mom. My mom... shes gone. My heart was shattered. What am I suppose to do now? Where was I going to go? 

"Ms. Summers, I realize that there is a lot to take in right now. I will need you to come with me so I can ask you some questions. Please go gather your stuff and meet me outside in front of the school." He said and without giving me a moment to answer and he was gone. I walked back outside to my friends. Derek engulfed me in a hug seeing that I was crying. I had  mascara running down my face and my eyes were puffy and red. the last time i cried was at my brothers funeral. I had promised my self I would no longer cry. I also never thought this day would come so soon.

"Addalynn... whats wrong girl? You look like someone ran over your dog.. Wait, is that what happened? I'm sooo sorry I didnt mean to bring it back up. Poor little guy He will be so missed." Drew said before receiving a smack in the back of the head from Derek.

"She doesn't have a dog you fucking idiot." Derek said before turning to me, "Adds, whats wrong baby girl. Talk to us." Derek said pulling me into the hug even tighter.

"My mom.. shes.. shes.. shes gone" I said choking on my own words. I have only thought them but that is the first time they came out of my own mouth.

"Are you serious! She left too!  I swear Adds We will find her and I swear when I  do I will-" Derek said pulling back from our hug and clutching his fists from rage, but i cut him off.

"NO DEREK SHE'S GONE PERMANENTLY!" I yelled before realizing the scene I was making. I looked around and took a deep breath before speaking, in a lower tone ," Derek, Drew my mother has been killed. I have to go with a case worker now and try to figure out my new living arrangements and how she was killed." I said quietly before turning away so they could no longer see me cry as tears started to roll down my face.

"Addie I'm so sorry I had no idea." They said in unison.

" I'll be okay. I have to go to my locker and gather my stuff." I said in a hushed voice walking back inside to gather my books and make my way back out.

In front of the school sat Mr. Tim waiting by his car.

"can I take my car and follow you so I don't have to leave it here?" i asked him. he nodded and I made my way to my car. It was only a couple doors down from where his was parked. I climbed in and followed him as we pulled out. He led me to a police station on the other side of town. I turned down my music as we pulled into the parking lot, not realizing how loud it was to begin with. I pulled into the parking space next to Mr. Tim, got out and locked my doors. We made our way inside and he led me to a big room where I saw about three officers, and two other people dressed like Mr. Tim.

"Ms. Summers, we have been waiting for you, please come in and take a seat." said one of the officers. I did as told and sat down. this wasn't my first time in a police station but usually I'm in here for other reasons.

" Now Ms. Summers, I'm sure by now you have heard about the indecent regarding your mother. I looked at your records and it looks as if your Father is the only other living resident who would be eligible to take custody over you. He is currently resided in New York, please correct me if I am wrong." said officer... I looked at his name take... Officer Wright.

"Sir, no need to sound disrespectful but I have no idea if you are correct or wrong, he walked out on my family when  me and my brother were four years old. As far as I know he is a piece of shit who never tried to contact us after that." I said hoping he wouldn't bring him back up in the discussion. I hated talking about him. I would never be able to forgive him. How do you just up and leave your family, especially two four year olds you helped bring into the world with your high school sweetheart?

"Ms. Addalynn, your father is far from worthless, he is a very successful business owner with three more children and a wife on top of that. He is the only place we can send you and it says on your ICE reports that your mom is the one who suggested it. We've come to contact with him and he will  be here first thing in the morning to get you and sign the paper work." the officer said. How could this be happening to me? This is the worst day of my life! Did he even know about bubba? He wasn't at the funeral, or the wake, or the burial. I hate my life! All these thoughts rushed to my head as I just nodded at everyone. Its the only option I had... I had to leave my home, My friends, everyone, my house I grew up in.. to live with someone who gave up on me. To live with a family he actually claimed and loved and stayed with.

"With all this being out of the way lets discuss what happened to your mother. Your mother was a very big gang leader, and I am not sure your aware of this, but she was a very successful one at that. She was wanted by many police departments all over the southern hemisphere. Apparently she was killed by someone who was on her hit-list but they found her first." Explained Officer Wright. What in the actual hell are they talking about? I wondered as it all finally started clicking in. Thats why she would be home so late/ early. Another reason for her to get worried whenever I would leave the house. Everything started falling into place.

"With this being said Officer Banks," he said gesturing towards a younger female, "will be staying at your residence with you for the night to help you pack and make sure you stay safe."

another hour of planning and Officer Banks and I were on my way back home. I led her to my house and she pulled in behind me. Looking up I see Elliot, Forgetting I told him to meet me.

" Addie, we need to talk." are the first words he says to me.

***** DUN DUN DUN, I wonder what he needs to talk to her about... hmmmm?

What do y'all think her dads going to be like? Will he even know about her brother?

What will her new family/ house be like? Or better yet her new school?
