Fallen angel

Chapter 5 Fleeing

"Don't pack toys or stuffed animals just clothes, a blanket and pillow"

He scurried around the house trying to find stuff we need to bring, including the tiny savings that we had for my college fund.

I made my way to my room and grabbed the biggest lugged I thought would be necessary.

I threw in my clothes, blanket and pillow and walked back passed my dad and went outside to the car.

I threw my luggage in the trunk and looked back at a the house that I will never see again, the house that was once filled with happiness and now filled with a empty sad darkened void.

*FLASHBACK*

Its the middle of summer the grass is green and the sky is blue, everything so bright, colorful, beautiful. I ran over to the tire swing. "Mom! Mom! come push me" She's smiling ear to ear at me with her stunning smile while she strolls towards me. I hop on the swing then she starts pushing me I feel like I'm flying as though I have wings like a angle and can fly away, I thought I would be able to take her with me so we can fly through the sky and nothing can stop us. My dad comes out with a water gun and starts spraying us with it, we run around the backyard getting soaked. He finally runs out were all laughing he tackles us to the ground and tickles us and were just there non stop laughing away.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

I sighed and opened the passengers door and slowly slide myself in.

I really hoped that things are going to be better... And we can move on from this maybe that's all we need is a simple change of atmosphere. Things can go back to normal. Or at least half normal.

Just the hope that were not fully broken.

I hope when we get there we get this cute nice small apartment and I can go to a good school where everyone likes me and life can be happy again.

I laid my head on the cold glass window and I found a smile appear on my face.

Maybe this is a new Beginning for us, maybe its not the end.

My dad finally came out and threw his luggage next to mine in the trunk and slammed the back and quickly made his way to the driver's seat, he whipped the door open threw himself down and slammed the door closed then started the car.

The enginge roared and he skid out of the parking lot.

I took my last glance at the house again reliving the good memories over and over in my head the memories before everything fell apart.

First lesson in life nothing lasts forever.

My memories were paused when my dad put his hand tightly on my thigh and started rubbing it slowly up and down.

"Dont worry Brook this might be our new happiness, our new Beginning"

He smiled while he said that I havent seen him smile in awial. But I hope hes right because I'm thinking the same thing as he is.

I spoke back hesitantly. "I hope so daddy I want you to love me again"

The ride then fell silent.

I decided to put my earphones in and at this moment I listened to Nightmare by Halsey.

*Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
If I shall die before I 'wake
I pray the Lord, my soul to take*

*I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind*

*I've tasted blood and it is sweet
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet*
