The Truth About Night Shade

New Town

Pov~ Hope

I woke up on this hard ass floor. With my back and neck killing me. Great this is going to be a amazing day. I got all the way off the floor to head to the bathroom. I look in the mirror and see myself. I look like I jut went 20 rounds with a squirrel those things are evil. One minute you think there your friend the next they are waiting in there tree ready to throw a acorn at your forehead as you walk to school. I snap out my thought t a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in." My mother walks in. To be honest she didn't look any better then I did she look like she went through a war. "Good morning I was just coming to see if you wanted to go shopping with me for the stuff for the house and your room." I thought about this I really don't want to go out the house looking like I went 20 rounds with that squirrel but I also didn't want my mother picking out all my stuff for me. So going it is. "Yea sure just let me find something to do with my hair first." Think god I always wear a scrunchy on my wrist. I wet my hair till its straight enough for me to pull up. I look at myself in the mirror and see a normal human being.

I walk down stairs to see my mother standing by the door. She did something to her hair to at least she doesn't look crazy. We walk out the house and get into the car. I look at my mom " Where to first?" She starts the engine "Well I was thinking we should go to the store first to get some supplies." I shake my head and look out the window. The town looks totally different in the morning then at night. Now there is a lot more people walking the streets going to stores talking to there friends it kind of don't look like a small town. 

We stop at a store that says "All In One". We get out the car and walk to the front door my mom gets a cart and I get a cart. I look at my mother confused then she says. "Well unless you want nothing then you can put it back." I turned and started walking. I walked up and down a few rows and grabbed some stuff like shirts and pants some shorts. They even had a area full or underwear and bras. Now I know why they call it All In One. This place have everything clothes, shoes, PJ's, school supplies, construction stuff, food, and even just your regular everyday home needs. I think I can live here. By the time I met up with my mother I had a cart full of stuff from just about every section except for construction I don't know what I would need from there. I look at her cart and it looked just like mine full of stuff. I look at her "Well I hope we can afford all of this." S he looks at me confused. Then realization hit her. "Ooooooooh. You think I don't have money cause what happen between me and your father." I just nodded. " Well I actually do. Thanks to your grandparents A.K.A. my mother and father. They left me a lot of money when they died I just didn't say or do anything about it because I knew what kind of person your father was and if he found out he would try to keep it all for himself." When I tell you that I was in shock I mean I was completely surprised. 

We finally make it to the front and the cashier looked at our to carts full of stuff. I can swear she was ready to quit her job right then and there. Like she was pissed like she wanted to kill me and my mother for even getting in  her line with all our stuff.  By the time she finished ringing it all up it came up to $500.67. Which isn't bad considering back home if we did this it would be way more. But for this little town it was still a lot. 

We start walking out the store to the car with our many many many bags of stuff. When we walked past the group of people they was talking a little loud but when one of them spoke it was like music to my ears I turned around to see who it was but by time I looked back the was already in the store. Could of been my imagination there's no one voice in the world that can sound that good.

We got back into the car after putting all those bags in. "Next stop the warehouse." Great now I can pick out my bed room set. I already have ideas on what I want it to look like. I was thinking something like gray or black maybe a mix of both I don't know. We pulled in to a parking lot to a place called "Dream House". This town got some weird names for stores. We get out the car and start walking over to the doors. "Alright for this store we going to stay together." My mom say I just nod my head. We walk in and I look around this place just looks like a off brand Ikea. Literally everything is the same just not the name. They even got that little place for you to leave your kids while you shop.
