From Rags To Riches: Chapter Thirty-Nine

The visualization soon showed that of Anna seen staring up towards her ceiling wall, with a bit of a concerned look she was waiting to hear back from Matthew, hoping he would call her soon; but she didn't honestly know what she was going to tell him, most of her life having troubles when she dealt with him, he was a great source of bitterness for her; even despite being her brother.

Anna closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, she tried to tell herself that if Matthew REALLY was wanting to start over; she should give him the benefit of the doubt, after all, he was the last family member she was aware of that was still alive; that she knew, she grew up with- and even despite their wrongdoing in the past, he's the only family she had.

She then began to think to herself, well Jessie was a close friend of hers; she did help Jessie get Destiny back into her life, so technically Jessie and her was as close as family- but despite that, there was still that lingering feeling inside of her that Jessie was only a friend and Matthew was family! Matthew knew her as a kid, Matthew knew some things she never even told Jessie about, and Matthew knew some of the thing's she went through growing up first hand with Jessie only being told the stories about it, so there was a difference between friend and family, and even despite feeling bitter towards Matthew; he was her family.

Before long Anna found herself recalling an event from her childhood it seemed, not noticing that the time was starting to become night out; she just kept staring towards her ceiling, closing her eyes- with a deep breath of air, she tried not to dwell on what was going on in her life, however soon enough the visualization flashed to a memory of hers while she had her eyes closed and her hands behind her head.

=======================================================================

Soon enough the visualization showed that of what appeared to be an unfamiliar bedroom, but this was quite familiar to Anna as being her mother's bedroom, with a much younger version of Anna coming into view peaking her head out of the doorway that was somewhat closed, a much younger Matthew came into view rooting throughout the dresser in the room, both appeared to be about their teens, Anna seeming to look around as though making sure nobody was coming towards the room while Matthew was searching as much as he could, but seemed to proving not to find what he was looking for.

The room itself was quite simple, with a small bed enough for one person; a closest, and a bathroom, along with a dresser- and some fancy looking wallpaper; but this didn't concern either sibling, as Anna shook her head and soon looked over at her brother.

"You learn anything about dad?" She asked as Matthew shook his head.

"You think if I found anything about dad, I'd still be searching mom's dresser's?... urg, it's ridiculous to keep looking if I had any information." He said as Anna shook her head.

"Sorry, I was just asking...I hate having to sneak around- mom could come see us at any time!" Anna said.
