Save me!

Starting a new life

"Hi my name is Alex, Alex Orben. I'm new here and I'd like to be friends with you." Nope, that's terrible I'm never gonna have friends if I say that. You must be wondering what am I talking about. As you already heard my name is Alex Orben and I'm moving with my foster family to Monterey in California. I heard is really beautiful there and I also saw some pictures on google.

I'm currently in a car with my foster family. My mom ,Ann, and dad, Adrian, are talking about our new house and their jobs. I'm sitting in the back seat with my brother Aaron. He has his headphones on, probably listening to 6ix9ine or something. He kinda hates me but we've never talked about that, but mom and dad already told me I remind them of their daughter. I didn't ask what happened to her it was a sensitive topic.

Ann was adopted and she told me that she decided to also adopt a child in future. She comes from Australia and you can really hear it in her accent. When she was 18 she moved to America with her family and that's where she met Adrian. He was born in Los Angeles, one time Ann went there with her friends on a trip and that's when she met Adrian. They soon became close and started dating, she was 19 years old and he was 24 at the time. After they got married they moved to New York and that's where Aaron and his sister were born 

I was also born in New York in an abusive family with older sister but when she was old enogh she moved away. I'am not sure where she is or why she didn't take me with her but one day I will find her.

The car ride is going to be long, it actually takes about 45 hours to get to our new house in California, so I might as well sleep.

 I'm in a weird place. I don't know where I am but is weird.... Wait a minute. I'M ON A GIANT PIZZA. Okay this is kinda gross, there's melted cheese everywhere.... I'm gonna start eating.

And just before I was able to start eating someone woke me up. "Wake up you idiot!" Aaron started pushing me with his arm. "Are we there yet?" "Yeah sure we are already in California even thou its only been 24 minutes." He said in a sarcastic tone. "Aaron be nice to your sister!" Ann said "She is not even my sister!" Aaron still didn't accept me I see. "From the moment she came into this family she became a part of it. Which means she is your sister!" Ann argued back. "She is still not officially in this family AND SHE DOESN'T EVEN CALL YOU MOM!!". "AARON!!!" Ann was yelling pretty loudly "I'm gonna go to the toilet." I said as I got up and started walking away from them. "Aaron look at what you did now!" I could hear Ann yelling at him but I actually wasn't angry because everything he said wad true. I still wasn't officially in this family and I wasn't calling her mom.

When I got back from the toilet everyone was already in the car except Aaron. "Hi Ann, where is Aaron?" I asked Ann who was sitting in drivers place. Adrian was busy looking at the map. He didn't really trust phones.
"Hi Alex, he went for a walk. He'll be back soon so we can start driving again." "Okay, thanks". Couple of moments later Aaron was back and we started driving again.

This time instead of sleeping I decided to put on my headphones and listen to some music while I read my favourite book.
We had few more stops for the toilet and also Ann had to throw up.

After an hour we were finally in Pennsylvania. First thing we did here was to go to Zoe's Ice Cream Emporium. The place looked really nice and it had great ice cream but there was one thing that was really odd. Behind me next to a fire place was a creepy doll. She was wearing a white dress and I noticed a few more dolls around here. While I was eating I swear I saw it looking at me and no one else in the family was paying attention to her. After ice cream Ann went to buy food and we all went to toilet. We were back on the road and I asked Aaron if he noticed the doll. I'm not sure if he was trying to scare me but he said that the doll even blinked.

We were in Iowa and it was 11pm when we decided to get to a Davenport Motel. It looked really nice from outside and inside. We got the room with 2 beds and Aaron ended up sleeping on the couch while Ann and Adrian slept on the big bed and I slept on the smaller one.

Next morning we woke up at 5:34am and after we ate we started driving.
In Nebraska we stopped to eat pizza at Little Caesars Pizza and in Wyoming we stopped to get gas and we even went to Fort Steele Rest Area. Amazing, I know, I'm so lucky that my parents had this "great idea". Would you belive me if I told you I saw a snake and it almost bite me? Probably not because it sounds so unreal. Sarcastic much?

Anyway our next destination was Utah. When we got there it was almost midnight so we went to Salt Lake City and at this hotel called Ramanda by Wyndham Salt Lake City. Next morning we were finally gonna get to California. We woke up early and went to eat. We saw Mexican restaurant but Adrian and I didn't want to go there so we went to Del Mar al Lago which was a sea food restaurant. 
We were finally out of Utah and our next destination was Nevada. In Reno, Ann and Adrian went to McDonald's but I went to Taco Bell with Aaron.

FINALLY!! After so many hours we were in California. When we got to our house in Monterey it was 8pm and we were really tired. Our stuff will come tomorrow so we will just have to sleep on the floor or in car. We took all our stuff from the car and placed it in house. I'm sleeping inside on the floor but everyone else decided to sleep in the car.

Next morning....

First thing I saw when I opened my eyes was that doll from Zoe's Ice Cream Emporium. I started screaming and Ann came up to me hugging me. Aaron was laughing and Adrian looked angrily at him. My scream wasn't loud and long it was just a 2 second scream and hopefully our neighbours won't call the police.

Our stuff came this morning and we started furnishing the house. I took all of the boxes with my name on it to my room. After many hours our house was furnished and it looked  good.
My room had white walls and one of the walls had white bricks. Mirror was in the corner of the room and next to it was my guitar, even thou I don't know how to play it.
My bed had white sheets and same color pillows, there was also two black pillows. Next to my bed was little night stand (also white) it had a lamp and pictures of my family and friends. Above the night stand were black shelves with all kinds of stuff. On the other side of the was my table with my lap top there.

This was my room. Other parts of the house also had white walls and mostly everything was either white or black.

That's it for this chapter.
Long? Yes.
It took me a long time? Yes.
It was worth it? Yes.
This is much better then the other version. Thank you for reading.
