I Don't Want to Be a MURDER
Chapter One
"Bella, dear? Could you come down here for a moment?" Renee had yelled up the stairs to me. I sighed, and put down my skate board. I knew what this was about. I had been caught writing my father. I don't really see what was wrong about it. She's never told me where he is, where I came from. So when I saw a letter from him a few months back I had hid the letter from her and continued writing him, with my friends help of course.
"Yeah?" I stood right in front of her, I could tell that she had been crying. My mother and I never got along with each other, but that does not mean I enjoy her pain. I could tell something really wrong was happening. I could also tell that she was going through some type of conflict.
She handed me a paper. It was from my probation officer.
Dear Isabella Marie Demouth,
The sample of urine that you have provided us with, proves that you are no longer forced to live in your current state. The urine also has provided us with evidence that you have stayed out of trouble in the past six months. True to your word, I shall say thank you. It is now your choice whether or not what you want to do. If you do not wish to stay in your current residence, please call me.
Congratulations Isabella.
-Todd
"What do you wish Bella?" I looked up to my mother's heart stricken face and realized where I had wanted to go. And it was not to stay here. I defiantly did not want to stay in this crappy trailer park. I mean, every morning I woke up I tried my hardest not to smell like manure, unlike my neighbor. But unlike everyone else who had resided in this town, I had a job and plans of moving far away. I just couldn't believe I could so soon. I turned 18 in a month and my mother knew what that had meant.
"I think we both know what I am, what I have planning to do, for a while." She just shook her head, but her eyes had shown weakness, and hurt. And I knew that I had delivered this to her. What hurt most was that she had no idea of where I was planning to go. But when I tell her I just know that the pain in her eyes will show everywhere else, too.
