Chapter Twelve: The Girl Who Lived Across The Street

Finally it was Saturday and Katie was grounded to her room. Not that she had anywhere else to go. She goes over the conversation with Dom again in her mind. He had been pissed at her for getting in trouble but like Mia predicted as soon as she told him what a creep her principal was he directed his anger towards him. Katie had just barely managed to convince him not to go over there and beat him to a bloody pulp. Even though he was pissed at the creep he still grounded her for wearing what he had originally worn, but only for the weekend. Katie didn't mind, she had no friends to hang out with anyway. She was currently lounging on her bed, IN THIS MOMENT'S Big Bad Wolf blaring from her speakers and repainting her nails black. The sound of a large truck rumbling to a stop across the street perks her interest and she goes to the window. It over looked the street and at her old house. She watches as a huge moving truck parks in front of her old house, the driver hops out and opens the back door just as a red ford pulls up behind it. Katie watches as a man, women, and a girl her age piles out of the car. The girl had bleach blonde hair that fell half way down her back and was pushed back form her face with a bright red headband. Katie could only describe her outfit as Vampire Gothic. Black shirt with thumb holes in the sleeves, red and silver skulls running the length of the sleeves, a silver skull with red blood pooling from it on the front. Her pants were black cargo pants with chains hanging from it that Katie assumed made noise when she walked. When she turned her head Katie got a glimpse of her face, Black and red lipstick stained her lips and heavy black eyeliner under her eyes with black eye shadow giving herself the look of a raccoon. Katie couldn't tell her eye color form her window but just the outfit alone peaked her interest. This girl looked like someone Katie could get along with. The Family takes stuff out of the moving van and head into the house, making Katie's breathe pick up. That was her old house. Katie stares at the house a little longer, trying to work up the nerve to go say hi to them. Finally she manages to tear herself from the window and head down the stairs.

"Where do you think you're going?" Letty says behind her. Katie turns around and sees Letty emerging from the bathroom, her black hair wet and glossy. Her hands crossed over her chest as she looked at Katie, her eyebrow raised waiting to hear her excuse. Katie just flashes her a smile, she had forgotten that Letty was home while the others were at the store, Han at the garage where he now worked, (after Bryan had given the owner a good recommendation)

"New family moving in to my old house, Wanted to say hi." She says and heads down the stairs. She can hear Letty following her and waits to be told to get the hell back in her room, but Letty doesn't. She turns to see Letty looking out the living room window to check out the house across the street. Seeing that Katie was telling the truth she just nods her head indicating she could go and goes over to the TV. Katie watches as Letty plugs in the PlayStation and put in a fast and the furious game, the one Katie had gotten her last Christmas, She was a sucker for fast car games, not that Katie blamed her. "Heading over now," She calls. Letty just waves at her and goes back to the game. Katie snickers and nods her head, opening the front door and slipping out.

The September air was only slightly less hotter then August and a cool breeze brushes against Katie as she runs down the front steps. She crosses the street and stops short at the chain link fence to her old house. Staring up at it She suddenly looses her bravado and is rooted to her spot. Memories of the 10 years she lived there creep their way into her brain. Her old room, the dingy living room, the ratty curtains that were always drawn, never letting the outside light in, the dirty dishes piling high in the sink until her father would kick her to do them, the fridge that barely had enough food in it to feed them. She shakes off the memories and for once they retreat into the shadows of her mind before they could give her a panic attack. Closing her eyes she takes a deep breath and opens the gate. Walking quickly up to the front door she notices for the first time that her hands were shaking badly as she lifts it to knock on the door. Quickly taking her hand away she takes a few more deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves. Why was she so afraid? it's not like she was about to knock on the door and have her Father open it. He and her mother had moved maybe a year after she was rescued, her mother not even bothering to try and get her back, not that she blamed her, She was just as afraid of her father as Katie was. She probably thought Katie was safer at Dom's then coming back to live with them. When she was finally calm enough she lifts her hand again and this time it was steady. She knocks quietly on the door and steps back, waiting for someone to answer. Movement inside lets her know that someone heard her and a moment later the Gothic girl opens the door. This close up Katie could see that her eyes were a clear bright blue and that she had at least some Latino in her, her skin a smooth tan. The girl just stands there staring at Katie, a look of irritation on her face.
