Evil Ways
Chapter 1: Move On
My mom and I needed to move on, we had to get away from everything and everyone in this town, especially the stares from neighbors and constant apologies from strangers on the streets are just way too hard to handle right now. We have lost too much. The bunk-bed that Ally used to sleep on is now empty, god it's crazy. Losing a sister is like going through hell without any pain killers. She was the closest person that I have ever had in my entire life, we grow up together and spent many hours pillow talking, and sharing secrets. If only that driver wouldn't have been drinking, she probably would still be alive, here by my side, laughing. It is not fair, he took her away from me and mom. Anyways, a month has already past and mom and I decided to move to another different place where we could start a new life. She has been offered a job in Trenton, New Jersey, it is going to be hard to leave my hometown and start a new life in another city but that is our only choice in hopes of a better future.
We packed many boxes and spent a lot of time reorganizing stuff, many of the things in the house we had to throw out because they weren't necessary and took up too much space in the truck. By the end of the week we were finally done with packing and were exhausted. Fortunately it was summer and I had a lot of free time to rethink things through, I had to mentally prepare myself for what is coming up in my life, it is a huge change moving to a completely new place. My mom was also worried, I could see it in her eyes, and the way she acted was unusual. She is a strong person and can handle anything, after all, she raised two teenage girls. Well, now there is only me.
The truck has arrived and we took off, I must say it is exciting and very frightening at the same time. Meeting new people and seeing new things, basically having a new life is a major change for me and mom. Hopefully everything is going to go smoothly as planned and no one is going to get into any trouble, more then what we have to deal with right now.
It took us a while to get to the city, it took an even more time for me to get used to Ally not being here with me, although she will always be in my heart. And there, I first saw our new and quite small house at the end of the road. It looked very cozy with many pretty flowers surrounding the doorway and trees at the sides, as if it came out of a fairy tale. Mom and I unpacked some of the smaller things because the truck with all the furniture and other stuff was not here yet. When I took a look inside the house I was rather shocked because with all its emptiness it looked very compact and gave out a very nice, comfortable vibe that made me feel happy. I guess this could work after all.
