Life upside down..

     Chapter 1

“I’ll miss you so much”I said pulling my bestfriend into a bone crushing bear hug and pretending to burst out in tears.

“I’ll miss you too”She replied wiping my non-existent tears away,and with a mock british accent “Oh dear,don’t you be upset,it’s only for two months and we’ll talk everyday on the phone as usual.Huh I know you cannot make it through life without meeeh!”

Rolling my eyes,I scoffed at her “It’s your modestie my darling ,I’m gonna miss the most”.

Laughing at my lame sarcasm ,Megan throw her arms around me for a last time ,before heading to her mom’s car ,and kept waving at me until she was out of sight.

 

“Spenceeeer!”My mom called my name from inside the house.I was deep in thoughts standing,gazing at nothing in particular,and fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall,that it took me a while before a “What mum?” escaped my lips.

“Come and help me!”She shouted back at me.

I found her sitting on the stairs,surrounded by one,two,three… seven suitcases ?

“Mum”

“What?” She sighed.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes honey,just tired”

“No,I meant,are you out of your mind?”

Mum looked at me as if I’m the one who lost it here.”You’re one to tell Spencer”

“But mum,really?Seven suitcases?What are we, Shreik’s children?”.

“Haha,I wish I’m Fiona but no,there’s two for you,two for me also,one for you little sister ,and two for Alex.”

“Great”I mumbled under my breath “Not only we’re going somewhere I don’t wanna be,but that jerk will come with us.Picture perfect summer!”

“Don’t talk about your big brother this way”Mum hissed at me “Behave when he’s around,okey?”

“What for?”and before she could interrupt me,I said “And please,do not say it’s not his fault again,both you and I know it’s just some lie you keep telling yourself. I blame dad for leaving us behind without a second glance,as much as you do.But you can’t blame everything else on him though.Alex is the one who wanted to ditch us and  decided to to forget that he have a mum and two little sisters.I know that however dad is harsh sometimes,he’ll never force Alex to stay with him-“

“Spens!Let’s forget about this can-“.But before she says another word,I cut her off.

“And after nine years,he finally remembers that he actually have a family,and decides to come and visit ‘em and spend the whole summer with them,as if nothing ever happened. No mum!I’m not one to forget about the past!» I shouted fuming.

I usually never get mad at mum,and we practically never fight. We’ve always gotten along well.But of course because of him. and dad, such a thing has to happen.

I made my way to the kitchen,looking for something to eat or drink as mum climbed the stairs without a word, to wake up my four years adopted sister.

I clearly had hurt her feelings and pissed her off, but I resisted the urge to apologise and comfort her because I don’t have. She has to see things the way they are no matter how much it hurts.

Once she was back, I said my voice softening “Mum, are we really obligated to go there?you know I can stay here at Megan’s place.Please!”I begged,giving her the puppy dog face “Don’t I have a word in all of this?”
