Old Creek Chapter 1 Rachel's pov Moving to Texas didn't bother me. What bothered me was that my father didn't even tell me. He just picked me up from work and we went straight to Jump city Airport. All my friends. Goodbye.
On the airport he told me he had lost his job so he gathered the money left over and bought these plane tickets and a house in Old Creek aka the slums of Texas. "So how exactly are we getting to the slums?" i say annoyed "Rachel ! I told you this is only for a little while until i find a job." He whispered harshly "And I'm renting a car so don't freak out" he added
Once we got there I took back every thing i said about it being a slum. It was a two story house with a basement and attic. Bad thing was that it was almost in the middle of nowhere and we lived on the end of the street .The closest was a gas station and a couple other houses.
On the doorsteps there are a lot of mail letters so i guess they are probably the neighbors. I put them in my bag anyways. As i take a look inside the furniture is nice and homey. The kitchen is also clean and organized. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in this house. The bedrooms are already furnished . I chose the biggest one because it has a balcony and a walk in closet and the walls are navy blue with black.
I walk toward the walk in closet and in the middle of the ceiling there is a string that looks like it is to open the attic passage. Curiosity killed the cat. As i'm pulling it open...
"Rachel ill be right back , seems that there is still no electricity so I'm gonna run to Eric's electricity company and see if they can try and fix the electricity from there" my dad says and i jump
" Dad you scared me and hmm okay ill walk you out ima head to our neighbors house to see if these letters are any of theirs." "Kay. Come on" He says "Dad?" I say "Was is it princess?" "Dad i'm 18 can you please stop calling me that? And anyways how could you afford all of this?"
"Well I had saved 5 grand i already spent half on the car tickets and house plus we need clothes and personal stuff so i need a job quickly"he said " Oh " i replied " Well ill be back see you later princess" he says as he hops in the car. How could my dad stand me sometimes alone when my mother died. I still love him . I smile and approach our neighbors.
