"Eat," He nudged a plate consisting of a burnt grilled cheese,with the cheese pratically falling off of the bread(Which wasn't cooked all the way), a little heap of pretzels, and a small handful of a cut up yellow apple. "Ok," he admitted,wipping his hands on his pink apron before sitting down. "My cookings not the best," She snorted. That was an understatement."But I'll work on it," he insisted. "Meanwhile, try to eat some of it." He gave it one last push towards me.
My name's Ameliah and my life sucks. It all started two years ago when my Sister died. She was going to His house and in a rush to get home got into a car accident which on impact killed her. Since she was my legal guaridan,I had no where to go. Eli had stepped forward,which was good,I guess,but before I barely had time to comprehned what happened,i was whisked away to his house where I now live wth him. Legally, he's my guardian now, or even my Dad,but i'm not calling him any of that, his name is , as it shall stay forever.
We live in his parents second house which they dont use because its so "Old and crappy" when really, its a three story house,four bedrooms and three bathrooms, I dont see how its "Crappy and old," the house Julia and I lived in, we shared a room and a bathroom. I don't have a reason to hate Eli,not at all.I'll admit it,most of the time,I just act like I dont like him, I mean, He treated my sister great,and always use to make her happy, and right away he adopted me, the same night, probally with little thought. I think it was his new girlfriend-Clare,that I didnt like. She was the complete opposite of Julia, thats probally what bugged me. Julia had short,choppy black hair,and Clare has blonde short curly hair and is short in height , and i know for sure this was the top reason I didnt like her: Eli loves Clare. Its only been a year after Julias death and he's throwing around the 'l' word and not wearing Julia's guitar pick necklece("She would want me to move on,and be happy,and I am: with you and Clare in my life." then hed give me some big smile and a hug and try to be buddy buddy the whole day which never works)
Which brings me here now; Eating a barely edible burnt grilled sandwhich. "I was thinking you and I could meet Adam and Clare at the library today. You could get some new books,and i could study" He shot me a smile, and I accidently smiled back. "Do I have to?" I whined. He shrugged,"You could stay with CeeCee and Bullfrog." he cut another piece of an apple and plopped it into his mouth as I thought it over. I loved CeeCee and Bullfrog, but, It's not how I'd idealy like to spend my WHOLE day. My shoulders drooped forward,"I've been meaning to get the first Harry Potter book anyways," I muttered,stabbing a piece of apple with my fork. He smiled,"Clare loves those books,im sure she'd love to help you read them." I made a fake gagging noise; I'd rather pull my teeth out one by one. "Finish eating and we'll go,ok?" He spoke up. I nodded and tried to eat what was saved from Eli's horrible cooking(Which wasn't much.) After we were done,I grabbed my black converse(A gift from Eli,) and my pink coat(CeeCee likes the colour pink,ok?) and the next moment "Problem" by the job was blasting through Eli's car(appropriatly a hearse, even named Morty,Julia would be proud.) ever since Julia died, I don't like driving in cars-I'll admit it,ill try and be tough. Killing spiders? no problem. flying? childrens play. But being in a car? You could see my knuckles turn white. My Pyshcologist said it was normal to have fears after someone you loved was killed in an everydaything, and prescriped me some antidepresents and anxiety medicine which didn't help at all. Even a car ride a few miles away,like to the library,was like a living hell. My fingers griped the bar attached to the door and i squeezed my eyes shut. "Hey," Eli put his hand on my leg."it's ok." this was routinue, and i would love to say that him telling me it was going to be ok made it better-but id be lying. The whole car consisted of only one minor panic attack(Which is good for me!),white knuckles and a few tears,but we made it there. The building was an old one story red brick building,with a bike-rack on the side, and old wooden doors. "You just gonna sit in here the whole day?" Eli teased me. I groaned. I'd rather be in the car then have to spend the day at the library with the two people I hated the most/
