*Your POV*
We arrive. I take the food and he follows me. One of the workers gets the bags filled with stuff in. I keep not talking to him. Actually I didn't really want this all to end like this. It started so good and I thought it would keep going like that.
Today was almost perfect. I had so much fun and I felt amazing until one simple subject had to ruin it. I don't know who's right. I don't know if I should just listen and try and give up or if I should keep being stubborn until they give up.
I mean I do understand that they are doing this all for us and especially me but it's going too fast and I need time. That's what they don't understand. Good I understand them as well, they want to get me into school before it's too late but I think it's too early.
I just came here and everything is already destroyed. Everything is already planned. My life and how its going to be has a strict plan and I'm not allowed to not follow this plan. They made a line and I'm not allowed to cross that line.
They could at least ask if that was okay or how I feel or what I want. I know they do care but these kind of things are just too important for me. This may is going to change my whole life and it feels like that's exactly what they want.
I walk into the big saloon that leads too the big stairs with the windows that I like and found my mother standing there and talking with a man.
Unfortunately she sees me until I can even hear what they are talking about or understand why she looks so worried and afraid of being caught. I furrow my eyebrows.
»Sweetheart! Finally!« she greets me with a smile that's not real. I can recognize that. I know something is going wrong again and I really don't want to think about it but as her daughter I have to. I look at that man.
He looks very nobly.. elegant.. like he has a lot of money.. like he is someone important... looks like he's from the government or something. Someone serious with a not so serious face. I can't really tell what he looks like but he looks weird when he sees me.
He looks like his heart just stopped and his stomach dropped and I'm the only thing and the only one around. He looks at me like he was waiting for me all the time. Like I'm something special and the only thing he can see is me.. like he feels relieved when he sees me.
He puts his hat off and holds it onto his chest. He looks really happy and obviously he doesn't really know what to say. I furrow my eyebrows a little bit more.
»Welcome..« he finally says. His voice makes me feel weird.. like I know him. Maybe he is a creep or another cruel person that sees us as victims. Mother smiles at me very guilty. I wait for her to explain who he is.
Why do people always wait for me to ask them? Why won't the tell me by themselves? But this time she doesn't wait for me.
»This is William... one of our friendly neighbors.. no need to worry.« she keeps smiling but I give him a death stare. If he's our neighbor then I know this is about to get boring with stupid and unnecessary visits.
With tea and cookies and welcome presents and other stuff. I roll my eyes with my own thoughts. I don't know where he's coming from or who he really is but I also don't care and only want him to disappear.
I'm in such a bad mood I don't even want to eat anymore. I look around and see my mother did already a lot. Many of the boxes are emptied and it looks more like home now.
A few pictures on the walls. Decoration and spiritual stuff.. thats okay and makes me feel more comfortable.
I didn't even realize that Ethan was standing behind me all the time. That makes me even more uncomfortable because I'm somehow mad at him and things between us are weird after we screamed at each other. It feels really weird. I wish this all never happened. I swallow.
