Our World (GirlxGirl)

BackStory/Introduction

I wrote this story a few years ago but lost it when I got a new phone. I'm re-writing it now and I added more details to it. I hope you like it. It's my first so im.sorry about any spelling errors or bad writing.

Nadia walked downstairs eagerly to sit and listen to the band. Mrs.Jones (Nadia's mother)was having a band practice at her house. She had every musician from the neighborhood at her house. Nadia looked at the shiny bronze instruments. Some had scratches but that just added more personality to it for Nadia.

Every instrument had a mute which lowered the sound from the instrument. Mrs.Jones was the lead singer. She could play instruments and sometimes she would. But she would prefer to sing. After a few songs there was a knock on the door.
Mrs.Jones walked to the door and opened it up to a police officer.
He introduced himself.

"Hello. I'm officer Jones. I'm here because of a noise complaint from your neighbors. I'm just her to tell you to keep it down."

Mrs.Jones responded "I'm so sorry officer. We'll keep it down from now on"

Officer Jones looked behind Mrs.Jones
"One last thing. I would like to come in and interrogate the man with the trumpet. He looks very identical to a suspect we've been searching for."

Mrs.Jones was confused
"Im sorry but thats my brother and he hasn't been out for the last two months because of a sickness he's had. He can't possibly be the suspect"

"Well, let me just see" officer Jones said.

"No. You don't have permission to come in my house" mrs.jones said as she tried to close the door.

Officer jones put his foot in the doorway and grabbed the gun on his holster saying "ma'am please let me in or ill enter by force"

Before Mrs.Jones could respond he shot her in the side. Causing her to fall down. He pushed the door open and shot her 4 more times. Two in the body, one in the chest and one in the head. Nadia stood there behind the kitchen table terrified.
The band dropped all of they're instruments and put they're hands up.
Officer jones called for back up.

Five minutes later Nadia's mom was being carried into an ambulance and her uncle was being arrested.

Her mother was pronounced dead on arrival and her uncle was sentenced to 48 years in jail for a burglary that left a white man dead. Nadia had no other family. Her custody was giving to a close female family friend who she called Aunt Dreya.
Aunt Dreya was a nurse. She tried to give Nadia support and somewhere to feel loved but she could never get through to her.
Nadia wasn't the same bright loving girl 6 years ago. Something changed in her. What do you expect? Seeing her mother killed in front of her is traumatizing and emotionally scaring.

Officer Jones was given no jail time and was suspended for five years.

When Nadia was 14 she met a girl named Arlo. Arlo was a year older than Nadia. They connected fast and became bestfriends almost immediately. Arlo made Nadia feel human. Like there was some good to life. Arlo spent the night multiple times. She was passed from neighbor to neighbor. She never had a "real home" but she did have a woman who loved her. She called her Grandma Liz.
Grandma Liz had taken care of Arlo since she had....escaped her family. Arlo and nadia remained friends for the next four years.
Then Grandma Liz passed. It sadded Nadia but it devastated Arlo. Grandma Liz left everything she had to Arlo. The house, the life insurance, everything. She didn't have any kids.
On Her last year of school Nadia moved in with Arlo. She said goodbye to Aunt Dreya and thanked her for everything.
Aunt Dreya cried and told her to visit once a month. Nadia promised she would.

Grandma Liz house was beautiful.
When you walked up the steps it was a closet in the hallway and one room on each side of the steps. The one on the right was Arlo's and the one on the left was Nadia's. There is a room across from Arlo's but that was Liz's room. Arlo only goes in there to sit and think for an hour or two. She never touches anything and leaves with red eyes.

Now that we're done with the back story and details, this is where the story begins.  Please leave any constructive criticism in the comments and any suggestions also the next few chapters will be pretty calm untill the 4th chapter I think
