Teach me how to trust again

Dads world is a shock to me.

When dad came to get us from the police department I could hardly believe it was him, what really made me believe it was him was when my twin brother alexander came around him and called Gia, that was what Alex called me when I was little and we lived together. He has changed since then he’s now tall and really quite muscular and his blue eyes were shinning with happiness.  Alex was wearing a pair of black pains and a nice new looking red shirt that fit him perfectly compared to my ripped up t-shirt and blue ripped jeans you could say it looked strange. My dad had grown his hair back from where it was when I was little and was wearing a suit? My dad never wears suits or at least you usually didn’t when I was growing up. This sure has changed.

“Gianna, Maria lets go home. It’s been a long time since all of us have been together and it has been a long day for you two girls.” You have got to be kidding me, I dough he even remembers my birthday or how old Maria is and he thinks that everything is going to be ok. Is he crazy or something? I don’t really care as long as he has running water and a comfortable floor, maybe some food and I’ll be all right.

“OK, Maria lets go, although it’s not our home it’s a house.”

“Grab your bags and everything that you packed I brought the large limo so that it all fit.”

“Limo? Really you brought a limo to pick us up?”

“Yes a limo, and I thought that’s how you were used to traveling with the money your mother had.”

“Whatever. Like mum had money.” Maria finally spoke up after seeing the short conversation between the man who brought me up and me.

“Yes she should have had enough money to send both you girls to university and a nice privet school, and have a decent house, clothing.” He finally looked down at what we were wearing and scrunched up his nose like it was the dirt under his shinny shoes.

“Drop it. This is not the place for it, just grab your bags ladies and we can get you both some new clothing tomorrow. I’m sure Nicole has some hammy downs that should fit before I take you out shopping. I’m sure the boys and Dacota would like to see you again. Why didn’t you ever visit us or answer the mail we sent?” Alex was in full on big brother mood and I have to say that I missed him the most.

“Letters? Visit you? Why didn’t you visit any of the times I wound up in the hospital getting treatments and all that fun stuff? I don’t want to see Nicole or anyone else again. I’m going home” I stood up and started to walk out of the department I am sure I shocked everyone as I continued down the road to the bus stop. Letters what is he talking about? I mean sure we moved a lot but still I want to go to the only place I have ever called home, the place that we were all together and happy before dad walked out and I got the cancer cells. All I have ever wanted was my family back together but not forced like it is now.

I got on the bus to our original house and I sat a few feet away and took my note book and pens and wrote what I felt. It was a long day and honestly I wasn’t feeling the best weather it was the shock of finding out my mum had OD or if I was getting sick I am not sure. When the black limo pulled up behind me and Maria got out and started running for me I saw the tears on her face and automatically blamed my father and brother.

“Why are you crying? What happened?”

“You said that you were going home so that’s where we went but you weren’t there so we started to panic when I remember that whenever you have had enough of mum or me you always go to your “happy” place. And that place is here. You ran away on me and left me with strangers even if they are my family.”

“I’m sorry Mar I didn’t mean to scare you like that you’re a big girl and I just had to get away. We used to live in the house across the street, it holds all the good memories of my child hood before the cancer and dad took the others away.”

“Gia, Maria please come we want to feed you girls and get you into your beds before sun rise.”

“Fine.”

The car ride was silent and no one spoke but I must admit that the limo was nice and big and I had no problem falling asleep in it, I think that’s the first time I have ever laid down in a moving car and slept. We didn’t have a car and I have no friends at school because I’m that freak who lost her hair in her 7th grade and I’m in and out of the hospital so often that people always think there’s a new girl in the school.

When we got to my dad’s place it was large to say the least I would call it a mansion. It had around a thousand differently shaped windows and a widows’ walk, and a rap around porch. In other words my dream house plus it looked like only some bedrooms had balconies, I was secretly hopping for one with a balcony it would be the best spot to work on my writing and dance. I had no idea that my farther had this kind of money maybe living with him won’t be so bad?

Hope your enjoy this so far, im just setting it up for a little bit of drama in the coming chapters please comment or vote if you like it and let me know what you dont like about it. Thanks~B
