Lost Home

Home sweet home

Days passed as I journey towards home, until such time deja vu struck me as I passed a very familiar alley. an alley I knew I passed everyday after school. Not noticing, I ran again but this time I ran faster than ever as if I have defeated the world record. Not long enough for me to reach my destination. I was now standing in a peculiar door and didn't realized I knocked three times. In a minute or two, someone opened the door, eyes on the floor.

" May I help you in such a late hour?" he said in a sleepy voice.

" daddy?" I answered.

By the sound of it, he shot up, at first he thought that I was crazy but when he looked me in the eyes, I could see in his face the joy of seeing his long lost daughter.

"Tiffany?" He gave the warmest embrace.

" Daddy I missed you so much!"

" I missed you too sweetie! I mean what happened to you? where have you been?" muffed his hands on my cheeks. but before I could answer, someone came down the stairs with her bath robe on. " What"s going on?" she asked and by the sound of her voice made my ears explode. " Its Tiffany she has come back." daddy exclaimed, half-dragging me towards the demon-like woman. " Lilian, its nice to see you..." I said sarcastically. she hugged me instead.

" we were worried about you! do you wanna' eat? i'll cook dinner for you" she suggested.

" no, i'm OK," i answered.

" you might put poison in it..." I mumbled.

" you were saying?" she asked.

" Ah! nothing. . . I'm just so so tired. i just wanted to rest because this past few days has been devastating for me." I said.

" is that so, sweetie? well then, i'll just accompany you to your room," Daddy suggested.

" thank you, Daddy," i replied.

Daddy and I went upstairs towards my room while Lilian offered to stay downstairs for awhile to lock the door and turn the lights off. I bet she gave me an evil grin as soon as we were out of sight, I thought.

Daddy tucked me in the covers as if I was a five year-old kid. but then you can't blame an eighteen year old girl to be young again because she misses her own father.

" Good night Daddy"

" Good night sweetheart, I promise we'll talk about everything tomorrow." he said as he gave a light kiss on my forehead. Daddy went out of my room and closed the door silently.

I sighed in relief thinking that my sad days are now over. Suddenly something began to move beside me and layed its hand above me. I tilted my head to my left with fear seeing a huge horrifying head. In a blink of an eye, it opened both of its eyes and screamed. she stood up still screaming and by the sound of her voice there was no need for me to be scared. She was my stepsister. . . Jenn. she ran out of the room immediately.

" Mom. Dad. there's someone in my room!" she called out loud. Your room, really? FYI it's still my room, I thought.

" shh. . . come down Jenn. It's just Tiffany," daddy explained.

" Tiffany? but she's. . ." she was cut off at the sight of me coming out of "MY" room.

" Tiffany?" she repeated. " i thought you were dead?" she shrugged at the thought of me not being dead.

" Jennifer thats a wrong thing to welcome home your sister" daddy warned.

" Correction! 'step' sister!" she exclaimed.

" that's enough! why don't you two get some rest and we'll talk about it tomorrow." daddy said.

"are we clear?"

he continued, glancing at both of us. Instead of answering, we both stormed out of the hall and went in "MY" room (i repeat, its my room)before i could lie down and dream of the happiest dream, Jenn blocked my way and began,

" since you smell garbage, i mean you are garbage. And i don't wanna smell like one so..." she threw me a pillow.

"... you sleep on the floor, OK?"

she dropped on the bed and fell fast asleep in no time. can you believe it? a sleep on the floor with only a single pillow and nothing more, in "MY" own room, i repeated again. But i was too exhausted to argue and I had no other choice so i just slept in the hard floor in "MY" own room.

When i woke up, I found out that Jennifer has gone to school already, i think. and speaking of which I wonder how the others are. Is Miranda still bossy? Did Cassandra got to be cheer captain? how was Amy now? how bout' I'll visit her later on.

I ran down the stairs and found Dad and Lilian in the kitchen eating breakfast. " Good morning, sweetie. Did you have a good night sleep?" He asked. I rubbed my neck, " I think so."

" Is that so? Well, sit down and eat your breakfast," he said.

" well, daddy i was actually planning to head to Amy's" i asked. but before he could agree, the devil spoke...

" Tiffany darling, mind if you could help me with the dishes?"

" Help your mother first." He siad with a grin.

'LIlian, under the title of my mother makes me wanna'  puke', I thought

" Well I've got to work." He said and kissed my forehead.

So daddy left the house and I was stuck with the horrible witch. What a day!

It took me to clean the dishes, mop the floor and clean EVERY bathroom before I could go to Amy's, While Lilian was just sitting pretty on the couch, watching tv.

Tsk Tsk Tsk

The award for best mother goes to....... Lilian Forbes....... 

I mentally clapped my hands...

I snuck out of the house and headed to Amy's. Today was a Monday. Even though it's a school day, I know my bestfriend too well that she hates monday's so- she's home.
