Shots Fired

Chapter 9

I placed my luggage in front of Juliet's door, I waited a few minutes before I rang the door bell. I felt like a charity case with people pitying me because my parents died and my brother became an alcoholic and kicked me out because he thinks that my parents died because of me, I don't blame him honestly I could've done something but I just hid and feared for my life instead of doing something. "Sophia, how long have you been standing there?" Juliet said as she opened the door. "I just got here." I mumbled. I didn't move a muscle instead I just stood there letting the cold air bite at my skin. I was only wearing jeans and a thin longed sleeve shirt, I left in such a hurry that I didn't care if I was going to be cold or not. "Sophia?" Juliet said pulling me out of my thoughts. I proceeded to walk inside without saying another word to Juliet. The warm air welcomed me as so did Kaitlin and Spencer, Juliet's parents. "How are you holding up?" Kaitlin said as she approached the living room where I was standing. How could she even ask that, she knew I wasn't okay. How could I be okay I just got kicked out of my brothers place leaving me to stay on the streets. "I'm fine." I snapped. I was acting like an ungrateful bitch, I should be grateful but I can't help feel like their only pitying me and feel bad for me that I was about to live on the streets. "You can stay in Alison's room." Spencer said as I followed him to the room. "Thank you for letting me stay here, it means a lot." I said before he left shutting the door behind him. I dropped the suitcases and say down against the door. I wish I was at home in my bed while listening to my mom complain about this girl at work to my dad. Why was this happening? Austin's right I could've done something but I was only concerned about myself, he hates me now and probably never wants to see or hear my name ever again. I was the reason he became an alcoholic and got kicked out of college. I ruined his life.
