Still Here

Our new Home!!

"Neenee, can you help me with this box?"
My little brother Sebastian yells the nickname he and my father both call me.
First is was just because ,when he was very young he couldn't pronounce Ronnie, so he would say Neenee instead. The thing is, it stuck.

My name is Ronnie loretti. I'm 18 years old, in my last year of high school.
I should have already graduated but something happened in my past and I had to take a year off, but we'll talk about that later.

We usually move every year for my dads job. He works with computers, and he travels alot updating companies systems.

We move to be closer to whatever area he is getting the most business so he won't leave me and my little brother alone. Our mother died when she gave birth to sebastian, so it's always been just the three of us.

This new town is creepy to the max. Just as we arrived, the town was covered in a cold fog.
Its only October 5th and it's already freezing here, major change from Houston Texas ,where we lived last.

Welcome to our new lives here in Black Mist Harbor,Connecticut.

Standing on the porch with one hand on my hip and another wiping the sweat beading on my forehead.

Looking around from the wrap around porch, I see a house in the distance to the right side. The lights are shinning bright in the sunset of the evening.

Bringing my attention back to my little brother,"sure seb, im coming to help."

"Thanx sis!" He shouts in an over exaggerated grunt.

"Hey since im getting these bigger boxes why don't you go and give pepper some water and food. Shes been running around the back yard none stop, shes gotta be thirsty by now."
Grabbing the box and watching my brother give me an sarcastic salute then running towards the back of the house to check on our German Sheppard, pepper.

Holding the box carefully , the box read dishes ,so i watch every step i take to make sure there's no way im shattering the glass , again.

"Neenee, here let me." My dad runs up to me and takes the box from my arms. He lifts it up with ease.
"Honey. Why don't you take a break and order a pizza for us?"
He shouts behind him as he heads towards the kitchen,leaving me in the living room.

"Ok dad, you want your usual BBQ chicken?"
I hold in a laugh knowing he loathes this kind of pizza. every since he got food poisoning and was stuck in a bathroom for three days straight.

"Thats just nasty and you know it! You're no longer my favorite!" He yells from the kitchen poking his head through the door way to give me the "dad scowl".

"Of course she isn't your favorite. You can't have two favorites and we all know its me, right dad?" Sebastian asks while hoping on a bar stool and spinning him self around on the chair.

"Of course squirt, you know your the favorite!" Dad explains while messing up Sebastians hair and pulling it back to make him stare up at him.

"Now go unpack some pjs and your bath stuff so your set for the night." Dad tells him and grabbing a towel to dry off the sweat dripping from his nose and chin.

"That was the last big box, we only have a few miscellaneous items in the back of the truck." I Explain to my dad as I plop down on the floor letting the cold breeze coming from the open windows hit my sweaty skin.

I'm going to be sore tomorrow I know it.

"Okay, ill get the rest. You find the paper plates and cups. The pizza should be here within the hour right?" He asks nudging my leg softly with his boot.
