Moving in

Hi my name is Maria today I'm moving in with my dad because my mom can't help me anymore and when I say that I mean in and out of my wheelchair. I'm only stuck in this because of a group of boys but I'll get to that later right now I'm sitting in my dad's truck in my mom's driveway. My parents split up when I was little they said it was because they lost their love for each other but I think it's something more.

"Maria are you ready to go" my dad asked getting into the drivers seat. "Yeah as ready as I'll ever be" I said with a small smile. "Don't worry about the school just yet just worry about getting settled in" he said cheering me up a little bit. "Thanks Dad" I said reaching over to him and giving him a hug.

"Your welcome sweetie well let's get going it's quite a drive back to my house where someone is waiting for us." My dad said starting up the truck. I was confused but brushed it off "I'm sorry Maria that I couldn't help you as much as I wanted to." My mom said walking up to the door.

"It's ok mom I understand I still love you no matter what and don't forget to come visit" I said and she smiled. "I will as soon as I get everything sorted out I'll be right over." She said opening the door to give me one last hug. After the hug she backed up and closed the door. "Bye sweetie." She said blowing me a kiss. "Bye Mom" I said doing the same.

"Alright let's get going." My dad said backing out of the driveway. I waved to my mom one last time and we were off. The drive was going to take a long time so I guess I can tell you what happened with that group of boys. (Flashback) It was only a few months ago when it happened. I was at my old school minding my own business when the group of boys came up to me.

I had no friends to talk to so I guess that made me a target. They approached me and looked like they were going to do something horrible. "Hey you what are you doing looking like a loser" one of the boys asked but I ignored him which made him mad. "I asked you a question loser" he said starting to annoy me. "I'm reading my book if you don't mind" I said but that was a mistake.

He knocked my book out of my hands and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt pulling me up to his hight which lifted me off the ground a foot or two. "Listen loser you have no idea who we are so I'm going to tell you. We are called the bbs crew and we are the most popular guys in this school so your going to acknowledge us like everyone else" he said menacingly.

I was to scared to argue. "Do you understand?" He asked dropping me. "Yes I understand" I said gathering my stuff. They finally walked away but that was just the beginning of my troubles. As weeks went on it got worst and the whole group started beating me up. I tried to keep it together but sometimes I just couldn't.

The worst part finally came into play. I was walking home after getting beat up and I heard tires squealing down the street. I turned around just to see a truck coming straight at me. I recognized the person in the truck he was one of the boys that beat me up. He hit me straight on and sent me flying about 50 feet. That day was where I became disabled.

Being hit partly paralyzed me from the waist down. I can still move my legs but very little. Hints why I'm in a wheelchair. (End of Flashback) As I end my story we pull into my dad's driveway. "Welcome to your new home Maria" he said as he turned the car off. I looked at the house and saw that it looked almost like a mansion compared to my mom's house.

"Dang dad what are you rich" I asked shocked. He laughed as he got out. "You could say that a good job does wonders" he said closing his door. He walked around and got my wheelchair off and came around to my side. He opened my door and picked me up. "Here we go" he said stepping around my wheelchair and sitting me down.

"I had a elevator installed since most of the rooms are upstairs." He said pushing me inside. "That must have cost a lot of money." I said as we were now inside. "It was nothing just wanted to make it easier for you to get around the house." he said pushing me around. "I'll give you a tour but first I want you to meet someone" he said as he stopped walking and locked my brakes.

"Hey Mark we're home" my dad yelled looking up to the upstairs balcony. "Coming" I heard a boy call from upstairs. I then saw someone walk on to the balcony and down the stairs. Walking down the spiral staircase he got to the bottom.

A boy at my age maybe a little older walked up to us. "Hi Maria I've heard a lot about you in so little time he's been nothing but blabbing about you." The boy said with a smile. "Hey I didn't say to much" dad said walking around me to the boy named Mark. "Maria this maybe a little shocking but this is Mark he's you brother" my dad said shocking me to the point where I couldn't speak.

"I'm sorry I never told you he has been living with your aunt this whole time while I've been working hard to support both of you and I finally did it." He said but I was still speechless. "I think you shocked her to the point where she became a statue" Mark said and I snapped out of it. "Why didn't you tell me I had a brother?" I asked confused and conflicted.

"Your mom wanted you two to grow up in a good environment and the way we were living back then was not good so I gave Mark to my sister and your mom took you to her parents. We didn't want to tell y'all till you were older but that has changed." He said and I sighed. "Ok so I have a brother anything else you want to spring on me." I said and he chuckled.

"No that's it" he said smiling. "Ok can I see the place now then?" I asked and he nodded he pushed me around the house if you want to call it that while I talked to Mark and getting to know him better. Funny thing is that we both like most of the same things. "And finally this is your room it's set up to help you recover. There are things you can use for therapy like this physical therapy walking bars." He said pointing to them.

"I think you went overboard with all of this but I guess those bars can help me walk better." I said looking over to him. He looked extremely happy to hear that. "Well I guess since it's late I'll order dinner for the night. So we can eat and y'all can get to bed for school tomorrow." My dad said pulling out his phone.

After he ordered dinner it took about thirty minutes for it to get here and we ate in the kitchen. After we were done my dad pushed me to my room and helped me in my bed. "Goodnight sweetie I'll help you out in the morning" he said pulling the covers over me. "Thanks Dad and thanks for helping me move my stuff." I said and he smiled. "Your welcome." He said turning off the lights and closing the door. A few minutes later I fell into a deep sleep.
