The Race

Chapter 1

Two years ago

Finally school is over. As I was walking home from school listening to my favourite songs on my iPhone I had a feeling in my gut that something was not right.

After giving it a lot of thought I left it at that because I mean come on it was October 31st which means.

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

My favourite holiday of the year. With that thought in mind i had two more houses to walk to each time
I walked I could see how spooky and cool  all the houses were decorated it reminded me of when I was younger  and much happier.

As I walked up my drive way something felt strange my mums car wasn't parked up front and today was her day of from work. I didn't think of it to much all I thought was that she may have left to got to the store to pick up more candy.

As I inserted the key in the Key hole and pushed  the front door open. I was in total shock to move from my spot from the front door, but what I saw was that  everything was gone, I mean everything paintings on the walls to furniture , TV , even any childhood memory with any object I some what I may have had with is all vanished. It's like I left my house this morning to everything and cause back to nothing.

As  I entered and walked further into my house I saw that all of dads paintings were left behind but ripped apart even photos of us on holidays scattered all over the wooden floors. As I wandered more and more into the house I decided to up the stairs is see if there was at least something left behind.

I walked into my mums room and saw everything was gone like most of the house even the bedding. I left that room to check on the guests room , in there everything was gone except the bed.

As I exited the gussets room and made my way down the hall to my room , prying that everything was still in there , as I walked further I knottiest how cold the house was and it just seemed like it was all just a dream.

As I entered my room safe to say everything was just the way I left it this morning.

But I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was standing in my now empty house with only one room the exact same.

Being the curious person I am I made my way down stairs to look for some close as to why there's nothing here. As I stepped on the last step of the stair case I went to the closest part of the house near me which was the living room and thought this would be easy since the house it now empty.

But I found nothing there so I decided to head to the kitchen. And the first thing I spotted was a note from the top of the  kitchen counter.

As I walked near it a sudden energy was pumped through me as my heart beat increased by 100.

With my now shacking hand and with my eyes now started to water I picked up the note and read what was written in front of me.

Dear Bella

I'm just gonna cut to the chase because I know you don't like long letters. Truth to be told I don't love you anymore and I never will. Kyle has promised me a better life without you. We were getting sick and tried of beating you when ever you did something wrong so we thought it would be for the best to leave. So don't ever contact us in anyway shape or form. We took everything because we wanted to leave you with nothing it was more fun that way.

Love your mum xx

By now I was already on the floor crying my eyes out as to why me. How could a mother do that to there own child.

I just wish my dad was here to protect me from the world but no. I have no one.

Sure she's done this to me and left me with nothing but she was still my mother and I still loved her. But my love for her needed to die down after everything she's put me through.

Every time I used to come home 1 minute late I was in for hell with Kyle he would beat me till I was black and blue once I couldn't go in to school for a week it was that bad. He even raped me .

And she was ok with it.

After what felt like years of being curled up on the floor crying which was probably only for a few hours I hear my phone go off signalling I had gotten a text.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone and read the text from my friend.

Sabrina- Hey b. There's a Halloween party at Noah's tonight it starts at 9 but I'm picking u up at 7  and there's no way out of it this time u need a break.
Ps by picking u up I mean ur walking  ur self to mine cause ur sleeping over at mine my parents r out again. Xxxxx

After reading that I let out a laugh/choke. Knowing my best friend she wouldn't let me out of it this time.

Reading back what she said I did need a break from this shit called my life. But yeah I know I can't just drink all my problems away but I did need a distraction so with that I texted her an ok back.

Me- Ok

So with that I Headed  upstairs and grabbed the essentials I needed for the night.
