Shattered Queen

~One~

“Krys, the last box was loaded in the truck. Dad is waiting for us in the car” my sister informed me. I
can’t wait for us to reach to our new home, 5 hours away from this place. I surely will miss Brie, my
bestie, but I have no other choice than moving from here mainly because my family wants to, but also
me wanting to escape the hard reality in which I live in. I just hope for a new beginning, a new life, a new
me. While I hop into the car, I turn back just to stare one last time at the house we’ve been living in
since forever and the balcony of my room, a room that has seen all my cries. I immediately shake all the
thoughts and memories that were about to flood my mind. I fasten my seat belt and as I was about to
grab my phone from my pocket, I look at my small brother’s saddened face. He is rarely upset. Even
when he is sad, he doesn’t show it. “Stop staring at me” he said. With concern, I answered “Look, I
know it’s hard for you to start over in a place where no one knows us. I know you’re leaving all your life
behind. Your school, your friends, everything. But we have to do this for dad. You know he can’t keep on
living here, don’t you?” He looked annoyed “Well he shouldn’t have done what he did” He said looking
at dad’s eyes in the rear-view mirror. Dad looked sad, shame clear on his face. “Brian, you perfectly
know why your father did that. No need of bringing that back. You better keep quiet if you don’t have
any other topic to talk about” mom retorted. Brian turned his attention back to his tablet. I gave a quick
knowing look to dad in the rear-view, try to comfort him. He smiled at me and turned his eyes back to
the road. I shoved my earphones in my ear, trying to ignore the tension that filled the small car. Nicki,
my elder sister didn’t say a word. She wore sunglasses so I didn’t know if she was asleep or not.

...

As I was about to open the mansion’s door, I heard Brain calling me. I opened my eyes and stretched out
my arms. He looked at me with wide eyes “Do you know how long I’ve been calling you?” “I was
obviously asleep, so I couldn’t hear you” “Anyway, we’ve arrived to our new house”. I was too dizzy to
realize that the car wasn’t moving no more. The rest of my family were already out of the car. I quickly
got out of the car to scan the place. It looks pretty cute. As I climb the stairs towards the front door, I
remember the dream I had in the car about the mansion. It was the biggest, finest house I’ve ever seen.
Too bad it isn’t the house we were about live in. When I finally reach into the house, I look at the already
furnished interior in awe. The furniture, decorations and the dispositions was just awesome. I went to
the kitchen and it was cute as hell. Just the right size for a kitchen; not too big not too small, and the
island in the center was perfect. I started tracing the design on the surface of the island.
A while after, I heard Nicki calling me from upstairs. I started climbing the stairs, trying to know where
Nicki was calling me from. I finally reached a door. I turned the knob and entered the room. I saw Nicki
sitting on a desk with a wide grin on her face. “Guess who’s room this is” she said, excitement clear in
her voice. “Yours I guess” I answered. “No. It’s ours” she said. I wasn’t expecting it. “You mean you and I
will be sleeping together?” I asked. She came towards me and said “I know. This house doesn’t have
enough rooms for each of us to have our own rooms. But this room is cozy and big enough for the two
of us, don’t you think so?” “I guess you’re right. Anyway, when will the truck get here?” “I don’t know.
Mom said it was behind us. I think it will be here in the coming hour. “I’m so tired ugh” I said falling on
the bed. “Who isn’t tired huh” answered Nicki sitting next to me. “It feels weird. I never thought we’d
sleep together” I said. “Chill, it won’t kill us” she said smiling. “I can’t wait to get used to this place” I
said. She stood up and went towards the desk she was sitting on earlier and said “Krys, how do you think
life here will be?”

I'll be updating the second part. Thanks again. Love you guys.
