Teach me how to trust again

Alexs Past

 Why did I have to answer the phone? It would have been so much easier than hearing that mum is gone. My mind immediately went to my sisters and where they were, I can’t believe then never answered a single letter or visited that is so completely unlike Gia she was my other half till I went with dad. The only thing is I don’t remember him giving her and Maria the option of coming with us. I wonder how that felt to Gia as Maria was too young to understand what was going on.

The phone rang once again and I answered it as I was the only one home the others like Adrian and Nicole have their own places and the Dacota and Reece had a party that they wanted to go to. I just enjoy my alone time in the house reading so when it was my dad telling me to meet him outside in 10 minutes dressed nicely but casually I was confused usually dad took Lucy out on Fridays and why would he want me to go with him and not her? I soon found out that we were getting my sisters from a police department in a town two hours away from us.

I was happy to get to see my sister but when we got there and she was sitting there talking to the baby of the family in torn up clothing I knew that it would take a while for her to warm up to our house and way of life. We don’t have to do anything at all, I can be as lazy as I want and never get in trouble sure there are some things dad frowns upon but never enough to ground one of us.

I saw her before she saw me. She had her long brown almost black hair with the blue and purple strikers pulled into two braids and her t-shirt was worn and tattered, pants were torn up and a faded blue color I would say they were a size too small and she looked beat up and bruised I have no idea how this happened but I planned to find out.

Gia and my dad started to get louder as they continued to talk, but once Maria stepped in I knew here was not the place for a conversation. I stepped in a told them all to back off and that Nicole would have some old clothing that they could wear, instantly I saw the look of relief come across Marias face but all Gianna did was tell us that she was going ”home” I hope she is ok till we find her.

“You can’t leave me!” Maria screamed at her older sister as she left the building. I knew how scared that little girl was she had just lost her mum and now her sister and probably the only person she told everything to walk out on her leaving her with complete strangers. I would be scared too.

“Maria, where is home?” I tried to ask her as calmly as I could master but it was hard, Gia left. I now wonder if this is how she felt when I left with dad. Torn up, blaming one’s self, and just not in a good mood yes that’s how I feel now.

“Tell me, or you will be grounded when we get home young lady.”

“Wow harsh much dad? She is only a child who has lost her mother and then had her sister walk out, put yourself in her shoes they have probably walked a harder terrain then you can even image since you haven’t been in there lived for 8 years dad. We have to find her I agree.”

“w…w..we livedat10002ndavwest.” I watched as Maria burst into tears and ran out only this time she stopped and fell to the ground causing me to run out to her and picked her up. I may not know how her life was before but I’m sure I found worry on her face.

We finally found her she was sitting by our first house and writing what I’m not sure but when her sister started to yell at her I saw the look of regret cross her face before dad called them back to the car. He’s a bit harsh at times. Both Gianna and Maria fell asleep on the way home, they both looked so comfy laying down and sleeping that it was a regret when I had to wake Gianna up I decided that I would carry Maria into the house as dad got there bags. The look of amazement was clearly written all over Giannas’ face it was quite comical really. Maybe they did have a rough life.

What do you think of Alex? He will be key in this whole thing so make sure you aske questions if you dont understand why he says or does things. Next chapter shall be back in Giannas veiw.

Gianna also goes by Gia.~B
