My 2nd V.C. Andrews story!! ::but this one isn't a mini series!!!:: I hope you like it!!!!
::
The school bell rang and I ran home. I didn't want to walk home with anyone today, because Mamma said she had something important to tell me and my sisters.
As I opened the door to the house, I heard my little sister Oda (o-d-u-h) humming. "Hey, Oda!" I said, walking into the living room. That's when I saw Mamma.
My eyes opened wide in shock. She had bruises all over her, her hair was a mess, and she was crying. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Your papa says we gotta pack up and go," she whispered.
Oda stopped humming and looked at Mamma, wide eyed. "Why, Mamma? What happened?" "Well, your papa and I had a fight, then he told me to 'get, and to take that brats with ya'."
"No!" I cried, "No!" But Mamma was nodding, "Yes, honey. We gotta go." My sister Youth came in through the front door. "Where have you been?" I asked. "My school gets out later!" she moaned.
I rolled my eyes, "Well, Mamma just told us the news. We have to leave." "To where?" she looked at Mamma, "where, Mamma?" Mamma shrugged, "I dunno girls. I dunno."
I broke down crying. Just earlier this morning I was the happiest girl alive. "What was the fight about?" Youth asked after Mamma told her the whole story. Mamma sighed, "I guess I should tell ya."
We all looked curiously at her. "Well, girls. Ya know how your papa wants a baby boy? Well I found out that I was pregnant a few months ago. But I guess ya'll never noticed." We all shook our heads.
"Well," she continued, "I went to the doctor's this morining, and he told me it was a baby girl." A baby girl! I was so excited! "Well, your papa don't want no baby girl. So he told us to get. And that's what we're doing.
"Pack your most valuable things," she advised, "and put them in the trunk of the car. But remember, one suitcase each." And she went upstairs to go pack. Youth and I exchanged sad glances. Oda cried.
We both took Oda upstairs to pack our things. "Maybe we should run away," Youth suggested. I gasped, "Youth Dame! How dare you say that! We can't leave Mamma here!" "Youth sighed, "She'd have Oda."
But I shook my head. I wasn't ever going to leave Mamma and my little sister alone. "Fine," Youth muttered, "we'll stay." Youth was my older sister by five days. Mamma said that Youth was gifted and talented, and she would go far in life.
I grabbed a suitcase and started to pack clothes and other things. Youth was already at the car. I closed the suitcase and ran down to put it in the trunk. A few minutes later, Mamma and Oda came down to put their suitcases in the trunk.
"I think we're ready to go!" Mamma said, trying to be cheerful. Oda was happier, I was sorta happy, but Youth wasn't. "I forsee dark clouds coming along with us," she predicted. "Oh Youth," Mamma scolded, "Please just try to be happy now, please?"
Youth sighed, "Fine." She looked over at me, "Are you ready for this trip, Blank Dame?" she asked, mocking me the way I called her. "I guess I'll have to be, Youth Dame!" I said.
We both laughed. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all, I thought. "I can't wait!" Oda said happily, "Fun, fun, fun!" This time, Mamma joined us in our laughter.
"We're off for a big adventure!" Mamma said, "You'll both see how much fun we can make this out to be!!" We all smilied, and tried to push those dark clouds away from us.
