I Do Not Own Anything
Chapter 1
I walked into my room, setting my stuff down on my floor. I looked around the room and nothing had changed, my bed was changed but that was it. I took a deep breath and ran my hand over the guitar I use to play. I heard laughing outside, when I looked outside I saw new neighbors. There was a girl playing basketball with a boy, I'm guessing they were siblings.
"They moved in last year, they are good neighbors" I turned around to my sister, she was not the same as I remember.
"You met them?"
"I'm friends with the girl, her name is Spencer. That's her brother Glen who just got back from serving his country overseas." She pointed to the older boy who was really good at playing basketball, his sister could play too.
"Must be hard for them to have a son in the army"
"I never really ask" I nodded as I started to pull my stuff out of my bags, I slid everything into my closet and taking a seat next to my sister.
"You know everything in this room is the same, but you're not."
"What do you mean?"
"Your hair is shorter, you're taller, and you seem happier then when I last saw you"
"Well you were gone for 2 years Ashley what do you expect. As for your room mom and I decided to just leave it till you got home" I watched as she played with her fingers, I don't think either of the thought I was coming home.
"Well I'm back, and I just want to forget about anything before I left"
"I get it, I'm going to order some dinner for us"
"Okay, call me when it gets here"
After she left I stood up walking over to the wall with all the pictures of my life before I left. The friends that weren't really my friends, and the memories I can't remember. I started to rip them down, tossing them into an empty box. The life I lived before I left is a life I promise to never live again. It was a life that wrecked myself, and destroyed my family.
I walked into my bathroom and saw that everything was taken out, I only had soap and shampoo. I closed the door and walked over to my night stand, pulling out my box that kept all the drugs. When I found it empty I was relieved, I sat it back down. I looked out and saw the neighbours were gone.
"Ashley the food is here!" With one more look around the room, I knew my past was gone for good and I couldn't be happier
