Teen Rebelz

A whole new world

Living with your father is never easy for a girl but for Shekinah it was the best thing to ever happen. Everyone could see that she was her father's daughter. She and her dad would run around the house even if she was seventeen. Shekinah could never get too old for her father's love.

One day her father had a heart attach and was sent to the hospital. Shekinah knew that he had a small chance of survival but she fought for his life and he also was trying. Her father, Michael called his second daughter Zoe to tell her he loves her but she started to shout about how she hated him and wished he would just die. Michael's heart could not handle it and so he dropped the phone call and died.

That was a week ago and they had his funeral too. Her mother and sister weren't there. Shekinah tried to avoid going to live with her mother but her mother was willing to fight. She was now on a plane to live with her mother,her husband and her sister. Shekinah wasn't mad,she was furious.

The car pulled up at her mother's house. Not even one of them came to pick her up from the airport but she is a big girl and she can handle herself. Shekinah got out of the taxi to pay the driver and thank him. Shekinah took her bags and knocked on her mother's door. Marcia,her mother opened the door and once she saw who it was her face lit up with excitement and so she quickly hugged her daughter who did not return the gesture and invited her in.

"I had no idea you were coming today or I would have prepared your room"said her mother as she went up the stairs to show her daughter to her room. Shekinah silently followed her over excited mother.

"Damian is not here. He is at work and your sister is out to who knows where"said Marcia as she opened the door to Shekinah's room.

This was horrible. This room still had her paintings that she grew as a child."Am going to cook now so we can all eat. Is there something you need?"Marcia asked and Shekinah shook her head.

"Just shout Mom if you do have something you want"said Marcia and Shekinah nods her head.

Marcia closed the door and Shekinah gets up to remove all the paintings from the wall. Carefully,so she does not shared them apart. Shekinah removed the sheets and replaced them with her's from her father's house. Shekinah put a picture of her and her father at the table near the bed. Shekinah throws herself on the bed and closes her eyes  getting into a deep sleep.

Knock ..knock....knock

Shekinah finally opens the door to see her mother."Dinner is ready. Come downstairs to eat."says her mother as she quickly goes down the stairs.

Shekinah changes her clothes and goes downstairs to see her mother and stepfather sitting down and waiting for her."Am so glad you could join us"says her mother.

Shekinah sits down and looks at her food and then at her mother."Shekinah this is my husband, Damian. Damian, this is my daughter, Shekinah.

"Nice to finally meet you, Shekinah."says Damian smiling and Shekinah just nods her head.

The front door opens."Mom,am home!!"yells Zoe and she gets in the room and sits at her chair in front of Shekinah.Zoe looks at Shekinah."You look familiar"says Zoe as she narrows her eyes at her sister.

"It's Shekinah"says Marcia as she smiles at Zoe."I thought she was coming next week"says Zoe."I thought so too but...she is already here"says Marcia.

"Let's eat"says Damian.

They start to eat but Shekinah just plays with her food. They all finish their food except for Shekinah.

"Shekinah,why don't you eat?"says Marcia.Zoe looks at her sister's food."Aren't you allergic to nuts?"asks Zoe.
