Teach me how to trust again

Mum where are you?

***7 years later***

“Maria get your lazy bum off the couch and come help me clean the house” Mum was out again and I was left at home with my 12 year old sister. I don’t remember much of my dad but what I do remember are my other siblings. The most important one of all my twin, my other half for almost 8 years till that dreadful day dad took them all away and left mum with the cancer child and the “Accident” child. Yeah right.  Mum has been gone for almost a week and our tiny 1 bed room house was a disaster, I know that she is out there with one of her many boyfriends doing who knows what but I can’t live like this I get sick easily and she should know that. We don’t have the money to pay for another hospital visit, and food, and housing. We needed help so I called child protective services on my own mother.

“Gianna there is a police car out front and it looks like they are coming to the door what do I do?”

“Keep calm and let me get it, can you please go and clean up the kitchen then bathroom well I deal with this please?” I try not to be force full with my sister but at times like this I have to. You see we are only 3 years apart and she doesn’t remember our siblings or dad at all and what she does remember is what I have told her since he left.

Knock Knock.

“Miss, Gianna Waxberry I presume?” Yes they came to our door, and luckily Maria actually did what I told her to. The police officers were both around 6” 4 and looked about 35 years of age. I was intimidated to say the least.

“Yes, that would be me.”

“Do you know where your sister Maria is at the moment we need to talk it seems we have some bad news for the two of you.” This is not a good sign I mean no police officer comes to your door and then tells you that they have bad news for two minors. I just hope it doesn’t involve mum and her addictive personality. I learnt about it when I was 10 and was running out of my medication faster than I should have been I was taking it for my cancer and mum was taking it for fun. I got sicker and sicker then I found out that she was a user of my drugs or any drugs that she could get her hands on.

“She is in the kitchen let me go and grab her then you can tell us both what the news is.” I waked the 10 feet to the kitchen and called for Maria to come back to the living room with me.

“Girls when was the last time you saw or heard from your mother?”

“Umm, last week some time. Why?” Keep calm you will be fine, I had to keep telling myself this and it still didn’t help with the nerves’ why were they asking me this?

“Ok, then some time in the past we your mother went missing we found her body early this morning and we would just like to offer you our condolences in the fact that your mother over dosed on drugs and then was beat to death I am very sorry but your both going to have to come with me.” My mind froze where would they send us? Would we move in with dad? Or sent to foster care? I had so many questions but at that moment I just had to stay strong for my sister she has been and always will be my number 1 priory.

“Where are we going?” leave it up to my sister to ask the questions I can’t. She was more out spoken than me and with her long brown almost black hair and green eyes no one could resist telling her the truth.

“We are not sure yet, do you have any family other than her?”

This time it was my turn to answer because Maria simply doesn’t remember them as well as I do or their names.” Yes, we have our dad and siblings.”

“Please tell me where they live that way it will be as smooth as we can transition as you already know them. And how many siblings do you have?”

“That’s the thing I don’t know where they live I haven’t spoken to them in 7 years, and there are 5 others. Adrian, Nicole, Alexander, Reece, and Dacota are their names.”

“Ok, I still need you both to come with me, pack what you have and then we will be off.” Yes because our 3 shirts each and 1 extra pair of pants is really worth packing. We went to pack anyway, it’s not like dad can be living any better right? How very wrong I was.

If this is crap like I think its not let me know and I will either stop writing it or take some suggestions in to fix it, this is all wrote at almost 1 am so it may not be that good. Please comment so that I want to continue~B
