Life's A Mystery {Karmin}

Chapter 21: Family.....or not?!

*Maura's POV*

I woke up to the realization of what exactly happened last night.

They don't want you anymore.

I mean who does want me? Anyways, I woke up and felt two arms securely around my waist, making me feel safe ( ha I'm so funny jk jk). I turned around.....Amy's arms? What th- oh wait it was Demi's arms. She's so cute when she's sleeping I couldn't help but smile to myself. Next think you know her eyes fly open and out from her mouth screams "Goodmoring!!!" Well if that doesn't scare the living day lights out of you than what does? "Goodmorning sleeping beauty" I said in a sarcastic tone with a grin on my face. "Maura, you know you gotta talk to them. I know they didn't mean it. Please just give them a chance." That's what they all say.

"Maura, get me a drink now!" My daddy said in a very mean tone. Why was he so mean to me?w hat did I ever do wrong?

I walked to the kitchen to grab his "drink" but accidentally spilt it delivering the cup to him. "You are so dead, that costs money you know!" Next think you know, I'm throw to the ground and fists are throw left and right. I curl up in a ball as the pain shoots through my body. Finally it all comes to an end. When I look up, my dad is crying and apologizing. "I'm so sorry, I don't know what's gotten into me.I love you my sweet little princess and I promise never to do it again." I forgave him only because he promised he didn't mean it From there on out it happened constantly, over and over again.

He really did mean it.

"Maura?" I was snapped out of a flashback when I heard Demi's angelic voice. "Huh what yeah?" I wasn't really sure what she said, but yeah I completely winged what I said. "As I was saying before, we are going over to your house and talking this out later on." Winging it failed, typical Maura ha. Ha. Ha.

I got up and decided to take a long, hot shower because you know, why not? So that's what I did. Then, I completely realized I was not at my house and had to go find Demi for some clothes to put on for today, at least until I got ""home."" I slowly found my way to the door since the light blue bathroom was so gigantic, I bet I could fit all of England in it. I turned the gold colored door knob until it pushed open. The door creaked closed. I then went up and down the fight of stairs numerous times, through multiple hallways, and opened many doors that lead to empty rooms until I actually found Demi. When she saw me come in the kitchen with a towel wrapped around myself, she knew what I was looking for and couldn't help but giggle. Damn, why is her giggle so contagious?!!? She then lead me up to her room and pulled out what she said to be her "smallest clothes she owned" and handed them to me. A beautiful flower dress, I hope it fits. I thank Demi and she heads down the steep stairs as I make my way back to them bathroom.

I put the dress on and walked out of the bathroom the millionth time. When I got out, I headed for Demi's room since I knew she had a full length mirror so I could see what I look like today. I wasn't expecting to see anything besides ugly, fat, worthless, and disgusting. But what I saw....it was too good to be true. I think I actually look b-beautiful for once? No, that can't be true. I smiled to myself and saw my reflection reflect it in the mirror. As I was admiring myself, Demi waked through the door. "You look beautiful, you know." I couldn't help but smile. I got a smile in return from her.

We then headed down to the kitchen for breakfast. When I walked through the door, I quickly saw fruit and yogurt on the table. I think Demi knew I wasn't in the mood for the whole "big huge breakfast" with everything you could think of. Plus, I didn't really want to eat anyways. We both ate and grabbed all of our belongings that were necessary and headed down to Demi's car.

The car ride was really quiet and awkward. It seemed like we were driving for hours, but in reality it was only a little bit. Demi parked in "our" drive way and took our seat belts off. Well here goes nothing. I could be walking out of here with a family.....or not.
