And the award for the best singer/actor goes to grace! grace!grace! Graccccceeeee!!!!!.. And immediately I heard someone scream my name ,
I fell off the couch only to release it was a dream and my crazy big brother Jake was the one screaming my name from outside. What!!! I said,
I was so mad at him because I was really enjoining my dream,
okay correct me if am wrong, but winning those kinds of awards is a huge honor for anyone, and trust me I was so furious at my brother ,I love him like a lot but MTV music awards.....
I have been having the same dream over and over again the past two weeks ever since I watched the mtv awards ceremony,
it has always been my dream to sing and act ,but being a shy girl its kind of hard, a lot of you may get it..
But hey a girl can dream right?
Am coming!!! I said ,getting up and heading outside to my brother .when I got outside he was busy helping dad load up the car .the movers forgot some boxes so we had to carry them with us ,it was very hard leaving the house I grew up in .
As i stood outside trying to say goodbye to the old place, memories came rushing in my mind of the amazing times we had in that house ,my parents bought the house after they got married.
Me and my siblings were all born in that house , i never wanted to leave the house ,
tears started to fall on my cheeks and my brother came out of the car and gave me a warm hug, it felt like we were leaving a big part of ourselves,,
for like 30minutes we stood there watching the house until finally my brother sighed making me turn and head to dad who was in the car waiting for us ....
mum went ahead with the movers because she wanted to be around when they unload ...
We were meeting her there at the new house,did I mention it was in a new town I don't really know...
Dad started the car .
I looked back to the house that I grew up in,the house that held a lot of wonderful memories for me ,
I didn't know if I will ever see it again, and I thought to myself..
Is that the last time I will ever see my home...
The trip took forever ,I was seated in the backseat watching trees go by while listening to linken park's song( roads untravelled) .
I looked at my brother who was seated in front making conversion with dad,
I noticed them laughing at something one of them said but could not make out what it was since yeah I was in headphones..
All my life have kept to myself ,I never had real friends, the only friends I had were my cat patches and my teddy bear Mr Starr .
Igot patches a year ago when I found him roaming around the backyard I figured he was lost and decided to keep him,,besides them the only humans I ever hanged out with were my brother jake and sister Alisha, she was the oldest of us ,,
She moved to Rio after college, that was were she always wanted to work from..
So mainly ,I was kind of a loner.
After ages of seeing forest after Forest ,I finally saw a name written on the sign welcome to claws town ,
it was a weird name for a town I thought, but as we passed the sign post I then saw a big wall not like the great wall of china but it was huge and had a massive gate at the front ,
on the gate it was also written claws town.
I was curious to what made the founder come up with that name, as we got at the gate ,a man in a security suit approached the car and asked for our information.
Dad was the one doing all of the talking ,I then saw the man write down something in his note book then turned back to dad and waved us in, the big gates opened and we got inside,,
it was a short distance we travelled ,if you wanted you can even walk .
then I started seeing buildings, I was was happy to see anything other than trees and lakes ...
I got up from were I was leaning to have a good vision of the new town we were moving into.
We passed shops,dinners,the cinema, candy shop,saloon, barbershop. It didn't have a lot of shops but it was a beautiful, quite town,, I even saw a park with little kids playing in it.
The houses were very beautiful and were painted in different colours,,we finally got to a sky blue house which was at the end of the street and as we got closer i saw mum on the front porch,
it was around three in the afternoon and as i stepped out of the car i looked around the neighborhood.
then when i was about to turn and go in the house, i saw a strange guy watching us, i could not tell his face because he was under a tree and the shed was keeping me from trying to make him up .
I blinked and the figure was gone, i tried looking around thinking i will see him but nothing ,he was gone just like that,
i must be too tired to start having visions or seeing illusions i thought to myself.
I got in the house everything was already arranged by mum to look the same as the old house,
but it wasn't home , 'grace your room is the one at the end of the hall! Mum said, as i was walking upstairs. okay mum.
My room was different from my old one, this one had it's own bathroom with those fancy toilets,
there was a huge window like door which led to my own balcony. The walls were painted in lavender which was my favourite colour ,
i threw myself on the bed and closed my eyes to take all this in.
A week later ........
'get down here young lady! Mum called from the leaving room, and i came running downstairs and into the kitchen to have breakfast,
today i was going to a new school and i stayed up all night thinking of a thousand ways my first day at a totally new school will go like,
Okay i came up with crazy scenarios which can happen.
So yes i was scared and nervous, but like my dad always says do not fear fear,yes he says exactly that.
So when i was done i got up washed my bowl i was using for cereal and went outside to meet jake who was waiting for me in the car to drop me at school.
It wasn't that long from home it was a 30min drive, once we got to school, my brother huged me and said 'if anyone troubles you call me,if any guy says hi ,ran away.,
of course he is being my overprotective brother, i just hugged him back smiled and stepped out of the car and headed to the door were the other kids were heading,
i looked back and my brother was still watching me ,i gave him an angry stare and he just smirked and drove away.
Update coming soon.............
