Moving away again like I have been doing for most of my life. I frowned while looking at all the boxes that surrounded my room. Laying on my bed I could hear my mum shouting at the bottom of the stairs "Crystal, Star is here for you" Star has been a really close friend since I moved to this town 5 years ago. I really don't know how I'm gonna cope without her.
She has helped through lots of things. I sprinted downstairs to see Star full of tears. This was a moment that I just didn't want to go through again. I ran into her arms and hugged her tight, considering this may be the last time I may hug her. Damien my brother broke the hug up "It's time to go soon, help me with the boxes".
I sighed "fine, just remember to be careful with my boxes". Just to annoy me Damien nearly dropped my box.
Star has had this big crush on my brother, I think she may still have it but ew. The thought of Star and Damien just makes me feel sick, no way I wan't a close friend of mine dating Damien. Luckily my brother is taken, he has a girlfriend called Rebecca she's lucky to have him. He's a great guy.
Before Star was about to leave we had one last hug. "I'm really gonna miss you" I said while letting go of here.
"me too" Star said while wiping away her tears. "Well I guess this is the last time I'm going to see you"
I raised my eyebrow "No it's not the last time, just keep in touch yeah".
As Star left I helped my brother with all the boxes and loaded them onto the truck. Eventually, I and Damien were all done. This could have been done way quicker if my mum and sister actually thought of helping but no they've got better things to do like always.
Before leaving the house, I went around all of the rooms and said bye for the last time. This house was full of memories.
I was now in the car with my mum, brother, sister and brother's girlfriend. This was going to be one long car ride. My family always argue they're never happy. I decided to take a nap because of all the cleaning and carrying I did.
I woke up to the sound of a car boot being closed. I looked around to see the car empty. I was kind of freaked out because it was just getting dark. As I stepped out of the car the street lights turned on.
Weird right?
I noticed that we were at our new home. It didn't look appealing from the outside, in fact, it was horrible. The place we had moved to looked like a ghost town there were hardly any people or cars around. The area was quite dark because of all the tree's that surrounded the houses.
Not to mention the place looked really old. Stood next to me was my sister Jade she had her hand on my shoulder while we both looked at the house in front of us.
"It's shocking right?" Jade said
For once she was right"It might not be that bad from the inside" I said
"Sure" Jade smirked.
"Don't judge a book by a cover"
Jade shrugged her shoulders "you might be right". She went off towards the house.
The house had some cracked windows and cobwebs on the side of the windows. This place really needed renovating from the outside, I don't want to imagine how it looks from the inside. I looked above the door and saw a sign '1809'.
This place is like 200 years old. This house could totally be in some horror movie it's the perfect match for a haunted house.
I went to go explore the back of the house was the garden. The garden didn't have much hope, it was full of overgrown weed. I was walking when I heard a snap. I stopped and turned my head towards the direction of the sound.
I looked on the floor and noticed I was standing on something that made a crunch sound. "Damien" I shouted but there was no answer I ran back trying to get myself out of this creepy garden.
While I was running my laces had gotten stuck in some twigs, I bent over trying to untie the laces from the twigs.
When I looked up to see my ex-boyfriend, Joe, he was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Fuckin asshole, I really don't know why I dated him. I glared over at him "What are you doing here".
He stepped closer and I stepped back I couldn't step back anymore because I was now behind a wall. He had both his hands on the wall pinning me down. I was scared.
I was so scared because Joe was an abusive boyfriend. We dated for nine months, for the first 6 months we were so happy he treated me so good. I loved him. Until he became manipulative, he always rang me asking where I was. He wanted every detail of what I was doing. He always thought I was lying. He would eventually start to hurt me. After 3 months of him being like this, I had the courage to tell someone. I told my brother because he was the only one I could trust. This explains why Damien is so protective now.
I thought he was out of my life forever.
"I can be wherever I want," He said. I pushed him away from me with the hardest force I had.
I looked over at him "No seriously tell me why are you here?"
He grabbed my hand "I wanted to see you I know how horrible I've been to you but come on one more time"
I was getting lost into his manipulative hazel coloured eyes. I realised my hand was still in his " Joe you've been more than horrible. Do you even know how much you've scared my life?"
It had taken me a while to get over his emotional scarring that he left on me. I spent 1 year in rehab and it became difficult to trust people because of what he had done.
"Oh come on I'm not that bad" He said while touching my hair, which sent a shiver down to my spine.
I pushed my hair back "NOT BAD! YOU ARE ABUSIVE JOE" I walked away when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. This was the first time I had seen Joe since so long.
"Please, Joe can you let go I just want a fresh start," I said. I tried to stay calm but I wanted to scream and cry.
He laughed "What do you mean start fresh"
I bit the inside my cheek "Have a better life without YOU"
He grabbed me by my hips and moved closer to me.
"What do you mean better life! being with me was the best part of your life"
I laughed in his face"You! the best part of my life you must be joking"
He leaned closer to my face "Does it look like I'm joking?" He raised his eyebrow like he use to do when he was about to hit me.
I pushed him away with a harder force "Just go!" I screamed.
He covered my mouth with his hand. He then pushed me from to the ground where he stripped me of my clothes.
I couldn't believe what just happened.
