The crisp cool air was wiping Bailey's long dark chocolate curls wildly. All the windows were down in her 1967 black Mustang. The music was blaring and they were all singing along with the song, it was Bullet for my Valentine's 'Tears don't fall'. Even her mother who was in the passenger seat next to her was bouncing around singing loudly. Her mother was hilarious, she was laid back and calm.
Then When the song came up on the screaming part she turned to look at her mother who was in turn looking at her because her sister Elspeth who she called Ell, was screaming along with the song. Bailey was laughing as was everyone else in the car. Even Adora who was almost two years old was laughing.
Bailey concentrated on the road ahead of her trying to picture her new house and her new town. At first she wasn't sure about moving but decided it would be better for everyone, they all needed a fresh start.
"Turn down this road Bailey." Her mother instructed pointing the way.
"Kay. Are you ready Adora to see our new house?" Bailey asked Adora looking up in her rear view mirror to see her.
"Yeah." Adora said nodding her hair making her small chaotic curls bounce and tumble in her face. She smiled showing her beautiful dimples. Another song blared out of the speakers. It was Bailey's and Ell's favorite song and they sung together.
"Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February." They were both bouncing and laughing. She glanced back at Ell, she was staring out the window. She was skinny around 5'6 and had big boobs. Which she hated because every guy had to make a stupid remarked. Ell was a little shy around other people but had a fiery personality.
Bailey focused on the scenery outside of the car. There were so many beautiful colors everywhere. Bright oranges, greens, browns. The leaves wiped up around her car as she drove over them making them swirl and dance mixing the colors. She thought that she would really like it here.
"And here we are." Her mother informed her as they came up on a beautiful two story house. It was white with cream shutters and a balcony overlooking the yard. Bailey turned in the driveway and shut the car off. She quickly jumped out and grabbed Adora and told her mother and Ell that she was going to pick out her room.
She unlocked the door and walked hand in hand with Adora staring at the big house that was very elegant inside. There was so much room. They walked up the steps and she quickly found the room that had the balcony and stepped out to look around. She was mesmerized as she held Adora in her arms.
Adora was a little two year old who had beautiful dark curls that reached to her back. She had the most dazzling green eyes that were big with innocence, which was amplified by her adorable dimples. As they gazed out at the expansive yard Bailey saw a huge tree with a swing on it. Now she knew that she would love it here. It was so beautiful and quiet, just what she wanted. As they came back down stairs they were greeted by Ell and their mother lugging in some boxes.
"Are you going to help or just look stupid?" Ell said sarcastically looking at her with her head cocked to the side making her messy bun sway a little. Ell was 16 and was witty, sarcastic and made everyone laugh. But she could also be very irritating. She had a thing for bad guys. She loved a guy with a cocky attitude and a bad mouth. And wasn't afraid to say something if
She thought she was right, which she always thought she was.
"Damn! I'm coming, geeze." Bailey said mocking her and laughed as she ran outside and grabbed a big box.
Bailey sat on her bed and stared out of the open balcony doors when her door flew open making her jump.
"What the hell?!?" Bailey yelled when she saw Ell laughing in the door way. Her heart was beating so fast. She slowly took in a couple of deep breaths.
"I just came to talk." Ell said sniggering as she sat on the bed next to Bailey. Ell was wearing her favorite Cookie Monster t-shirt and light wash, slightly flared jeans. She fidgeted with her nose ring looking around the room, spotting Bailey's uniform.
"Hey have you seen the ugly uniform we have to wear to that weird school? Why would anyone want to wear those?" Ell looked irritated grimacing at Bailey's uniform laid out on the back of her chair. She clicked her tongue ring against her teeth in frustration.
"Yeah I saw it. It is ugly but oh well." Bailey sighed and threw herself back on her bed looking around her room. She had a couple of band posters hung up on her wall and some movie posters. Her bed was a small half bed that had a black and emerald green comforter. And in the far corner she had a laptop on a desk and a chair sitting in front of it. Across from that was a huge dresser with a big mirror stacked on top of it.
"Out, I'm gonna get ready for bed. Go." Bailey said standing up and opening the door with a hand held as a gesture for Ell to leave.
"Fine, I'll be up and ready in the morning." Ell said walking to the door and stuck out her tongue. Bailey mocked her and did the same.
"Now Batman!" Bailey said laughing. Ell squinted her eyes and said,
"Dude! You're a bitch." And walked swiftly out of the room. That was Ell's nickname but she never liked it. She got it because one night they were sitting in her bedroom and they were talking and Ell said 'I'm like Batman, I hear everything.' And that was it, the nickname stuck.
She walked over to her closet and grabbed her Breaking Benjamin t-shirt and grey stretchy pants. She quickly changed and turned to her CD player and pushed play. She quickly threw her hair up into a bun not caring out it looked.
It was her classical CD. Beethoven's Love Story gently streamed out of the speakers. The intricate melody filled her ears and lulled her into a relaxed and peaceful mind frame. Walking out onto the balcony and sat in a wicker chair that looked aged, yet comfortable. She scanned the yard and let the elegant piano blanket around her.
The night sky was dark yet inviting as the twinkling stars shined back. The soft breeze whipped along the yard making her chocolaty tresses sway in movement.
The large oak tree stood tall. The long branches reached outward as if trying to escape their holdings, to break free of their roots that held them to the ground. The swing gently rocked back and forth as the wind blew and Bailey smiled. She could picture Adora on that swing.
The moon was full and illustrious. The light from the moon danced around casting shadows over the ground. She closed her eyes sighing eternally and played mindlessly with her lip ring. She let her mind wonder thinking about what tomorrow was going to bring. She wasn't sure but hoped that it would different. A slight chilly breeze blew over her causing her to shiver. She rubbed her hands up and down her arms. Everything was changing and she didn't know what to expect from the future.
