Hi all so it's been a awhile since I've posted a new story I hope you enjoy this one.
"Come in "Liz called when I knocked.
"Hey." But Liz was too busy starring out her window.
"What you looking at?" I asked
"These new kids that are moving in the end of the street." Liz pointed out while summoning me to have a look. It was two boys and one girl, one of the boys had blonde hair and average height. The other was very tall and dark haired he walked with his head down. The girl seemed just as miserable as the tall boy, she had short spiky hair. As she struggled to move the suit case out of the boot a older man stepped out and gave her a hand. He looked like her dad I was guessing.
The tall one suddenly looked up right at us Liz moved out the way but I stayed put. He moved slightly to the left as if he was trying to see through the bars on my window I noticed he had emerald eyes.
"And the sad part is where never get to meet them. "Liz shrugged then yanked the blinds shut.
"You never know!" I tried to have a bit of faith.
"Chloe we haven't spoken to anyone new In three years. And you haven't stepped out of this house in one year." Liz pointed out with a sad smile. She patted my shoulder and skipped off. Ever since my breakdown in school I've had to live here with my mum and met Liz and Brady although I don't see him as much.
"Doctor Davidoff will be here soon. So I suggest changing into clothes. Proper clothes. "Margret ordered.
It's rare that Davidoff visits but he comes in to asses us sometimes.
After I got myself dressed and brushed my hair I could hear the front door being unlocked. By the time I jogged downstairs Margret was still unlocking the door.
"He's early. "She grumbled.
But when she opened the door I was surprised to see the man I saw just a minuet ago. He's the one that was helping his kids with the luggage.
"Hello I've just moved in around the corner my name is Karl. "He introduced himself.
Would you excuse us dear. "Margret waved me away in a sweet tone which shocked me.
"Hello, sorry if I was interrupting anything." He beamed at me.
"Hi." I smiled back with a blush. Margret waved at me again so I walked off.
Why was Margret being nice to me? I walked up a few of the first steps to make her think I was gone but I doubled back quietly and listened in.
"We live just on the end of the street, if ever you need anything just shout." He offered politely.
"Yes thank you. But we usually keep are self to are selfs."Margret threw the gesture back in his face.
"Is she your kid?" Karl brushed it off and tried to make conversation.
"Yes my granddaughter...Beckie." Margret lied.
"How lovely, I have a daughter and two sons their starting at the high school tomorrow. "Karl tried again for conversation.
"Beckie attends boarding school so sadly she won't be seeing your dependents." She snapped.
Oh that's a shame, she seems like a nice girl my kids would of probably got on well with her." Karl replied with a sad tone.
"She has socializing disorders she can't be around others without losing her temper or hurting someone."
My mouth flew open at her words. Why would she say that? Temptation hit me to question her. She always lied about me but I had never heard that. But I knew if I was to ask she would keep me locked in my room for a month as a punishment.
"Goodbye." Karl bluntly waved and took off
Margret shut the door and locked it all back up.
I ran back up stairs.
"Mum?" I called
"She left Chloe...she said she will be back later on." Liz popped round the corner.
"Have you seen Brady lately?" I questioned.
"Nope. And I'm not complaining either." Liz shrugged.
"The family moving in just knocked." I changed the subject.
"I bet they regret that." Liz laughed.
"Just the man though his name is Karl He was really friendly as well, he seemed keen to get to know us." I smiled Sadly.
"We would be so lucky. The blonde one looks cute I reckon he would go all puppy eyed for you." Liz winked.
"He wouldn't want to know a crazy like me."I shook my head.
The sound of dr Davidoff's voice interrupted are conversation.
Liz froze she always hated dr Davidoff.
"Chloe." Margret called up the stairs in a fake sweetness.
As I walked down the stairs I smiled politely at dr Davidoff.
"Hello again Chloe." He shook my hand. "You've gotten taller since I've last seen you." He gestured as I smiled awkwardly.
"Shall we?" He opened the door for me into the kitchen.
As we both sat down Margret left.
"So Chloe how are you? "he asked.
"I'm ok I'm getting on really well." I tried to act positive.
"Good. So tell me have you had any incidents?" He pressed on.
"Brilliant, that's six months now. How has the medication worked?"
"I've been taking it more routinely based now and its worked. So I'm happy." I forced on a smile.
"Brilliant so I will lessen the dose, see how you adapt. So tell me what do you think you need to do now to improve?" I could tell he seemed pleased so far which is rare. a sudden glimpse of hope struck me.
"There is one thing...I know it's a lot to ask but I think I need to take a walk outside now and then. Maybe even once a day to get better and see how I cope." I began but the more I spoke the more desperate I sounded.
"I understand your feeling a bit caged in but it's for your benefit." Dr Davidoff's tone dropped.
"It's been a year since I've been outside. "I reminded him.
"How often do you come in contact with Liz? "he changed the topic suddenly as my heart sank. A lump in my throat grew thick I couldn't cry. I don't want to cry In front of him. That was my chances of leaving this place gone.
"I see her everyday. She leaves the house now and then, if you want to speak to her I can call her down." I tried to escape as I felt tears fillings eyes. I could tell by his expression he wasn't happy.
"I'm guessing you two talk a lot... What about Mrs Saunders how is she?" He carried on.
"She's ok, busy with work." That was all I could manage.
He went quiet all the sudden while taking sometime to write it all down with an unhappy expression. He never liked it when I talked about my mother. Liz thinks it's because he disagrees with the idea of her living here too.
"I could always just have one day a week of maybe a twenty minuet walk with.." But he cut me short.
"Thank you Chloe that's all for today take care."
Dr Davidoff snapped up all his things in a second and shoved all the paperwork back in his bags. Once he thanked Margret he walked out the door. I burst into tears uncontrollably; I was never going to get out of this miserable prison of a house. I would never be free like those kids next door.
