Illusion

Chapter: 23

Today was the day.

I'm moving into my house. My own house.

"This one Ashlea?" Dad asked.

"Yup!" I answered. It took just a few days to get all of the things I own packed up and ready to go. My dad is driving his truck and trailer with the couch and my bed and a few other things in it. I have totes upon totes, upon toes of things. I have some in the back of the truck and some in my car, which Grayson is driving right behind us.

"I love the outside of it." Mom said as dad let her and I out of the truck. Grayson parked my car along the sidewalk. Violet pulled up with their truck to come and help as well. I was going to have Brenda and Justin come help but it was too much of a pain with Landon, my nephew to come help. I have plenty of help today so they said they'd come see it when it's all done.

Grayson and Ethan got out of my car and made their way up to the house, along with Violet, Johordan, Paul and Hunter. Dad backed up the truck and trailer up the driveway. When he was done, he got out of his truck and walked over to me.

"You gonna show me and ma the house first?" He asked.

"Oh yeah!" I laughed. I grabbed my key and unlocked the door. "So, this is my house." When you walked into my house, there was a staircase in front of you that lead upstairs and if you went to the right, down a short hallway, was the kitchen and dining room.

"So down here is one bathroom on the left right here." I showed my parents and Johordan before going into the kitchen and dining room.

"I love this kitchen." My mom said.

"I know right?" I said. Dad looked around for a few minutes before I lead everyone upstairs.

"So right here, I want my sectional couch and I want my TV on this wall." I showed my dad and the other boys how I wanted it set up.

"This is a nice area." Dad said. "I like the big windows." He walked to the right of the room and looked out the windows.

"Me too." I said. "So then down to the left, there's a spare bedroom and a bathroom." I led them to the room and bathroom.

"This is a big room. It's not the master?" My mom had asked.

"Nope. That's down here." I said as I walked out of the room.

"This is a nice house Ashlea." Johordan came up behind me.

"Thank you. I love it." I said as we came down the other hallway. "The master bedroom is down here at the end." I walked to the end of the hallways and opened the door. The room was huge. It had a big closet on the side closest to the door and it just had a lot of space.

"This is a big room." Dad examined the room with mom.

"Yeah, it's amazing." Mom brought up.

"Then the master bathroom is connected through this door." I walked over to the right side of the room and opened it. The bathroom had a big standing shower, a long vanity that was made of granite on top and the shelved and doors were wood. It was a gorgeous bathroom.

"I wish this was my bathroom." Mom gawked. I laughed. I walked through and out the other door. I walked across the hallway and into the other bedroom.

After I was done showing them around, we got to work.

The boys all starting bringing in my bed and the couch, basically all the big things first as my mom, Violet and I started putting things away in the kitchen.

"When were you planning on going grocery shopping?" Mom asked as I told her which drawer I wanted the silver ware in.

"One day this weekend. I'll do it when I got everything else done probably." I was putting the plates and bowls away in one cupboard.
