Chapter 2

I can't but feel like I'm going to screen every time my mother opens her mouth. Because every time her jaw flaps open, its ripping me apart. On how I'm too much like my father. How I don't take anything seriously. I am a very serious person. I have a 4.6 GPA. I'm a straight A academic Honor Student. All of my classes are AP for Christ sake. I don't see why she hates me so much. Maybe its because I have my father Stubbornness when it comes to Doing things the right way. I do things in a quick thorough way, and she can't stand that. I hate it. I don't hate her, I hate that she hates me as much as she does.

"I didn't do anything!" I screamed into my mothers face for what felt like the millionth time " I did my home work! I did my chores! I did everything you asked me to! what more could you possibly want!"

I was starting to lose my breath. I was seeing red for the first time out of a very long time. Things were going to have to change, and fast. Im so tired of never being good enough.

"You always seem to think you're never doing anything wrong when you're always doing something wrong you little bitch!" my mother screamed at me "I want you out of this house. I'm going to the bar for a drink, and I swear. if you're not out of this house when I get home. I'm going to call the cops and have them remove you from this property!"

was she serious? I may be a senior, and 18 but I don't have any where to go. Im not that well liked at school. My girlfriend is back In England for the holidays, and bree got a late night call from her dad wanting her to go to New York for the next couple of days. I had nowhere. Was I really being forced to be home less, because my dead beat mother wants me gone?

"FINE ILL BE GONE WHEN YOU GET HOME. AND DON'T EXPECT ME TO COME BACK!" I screamed as she was walking out of the front door. God, how I wanted nothing more then to shake that woman. To hear what she really has to say about me. For the next couple of hours, I sat down on my bed room floor with my fluffy green frog, and thought of what to do, where I could go. and then it hit me, right as I was about to give up. Morgan Rowlands. She was home I knew she was, that girl never leaves Widows vale for anything. So I got up, and went to the kitchen to call her.

On the fourh ring She picked up

"hello" she said in what sounded like a sleepy irritated voice

"Hi Morgan?" I asked, just to make sure

"Yes raven. What do you need?" She asked me

"how did you know it was me.." I said in a nervous tone

"Caller Id. What do you need, its 4:00 am"

"Oh right, I'm sorry to be calling so late, but I had a fight with my mom.."

this is going to be embarrassing, I thought. Having to ask the one person who truly does hate me, to take me in for a couple of days.

"And i was wondering if you could" I stuttered off, I was going to chicken out until she said

"Could I could what Raven?" she said irately "Please cut to the chase. I'm getting irritated, It's 4 am."

man, do I feel like a bitch I thought. I shouldnt have called. but my mother was serious.

"I was wondering if I could stay with you..?"

"Why?" she said oddly "Why me, why not call sky or Bree?"

"because they are both out of town, Bree got a last minute call from her dad in New York, and Sky went back to England for the Holidays"

"Sure Raven, just come over and Ill set up the guest room for you, my parents and Mary K are out of town for the rest of this week, So you won't be bombarded with questions"

"OH MY GOD! MORGAN THANK YOU SO MUCH!" I gushed into the phone "You really don't have any ideal what this means to me!"

"Its perfectly fine, just come on over. take a taxi if you don't have a ride, and Ill pay the fee. So pack up, and Ill see you in a little while"

"Oh Morgan..!"

"Its really fine Raven, just hurry up. I'm tired"

"Ok!"

As I hung up the phone I was walking back up the stairs towards my room, to find my duffel bags. To hell with folding any clothes, I just threw them all into 3 different bags. I'm OCD when it comes to colours touching whites and dark. As I set back down the stairs, I decided that I could walk to Morgan's. She lived 3 blocks away. and its 6 now, So it was safe to walk. Even though it was alright to walk at any time of night. but it seemed a respectable hour, Besides. I didn't want Morgan to pay some ripped off fine for a taxi because I was too lazy to walk. Besides. She was taking me in when I needed it most. And I was going to be for ever grateful to her. So I set off at a brisk walk. My god, I forgot how could it is in the winter time.

--

About 2 hours later I came up her front steps and knocked 4 times on the door before resorting to the door bell. She must have fallen asleep on the couch after getting things ready for me. This is going to be interesting, living with Morgan Rowland's for a week, oh god.

"Hey" She said opening the door "come this way before the cat gets out."

"Hey Morgan" I said stepping to the left and setting down her duffel bags "thanks again for letting me come over and stay for a couple of days"

"You're quite welcome, come with me, and Ill show you around" she said taking one of her bags and walking up the stairs.

she took me to the far room on the right hand side and opened up the door. the room was an OK size it wasn't huge like some people were used to, but it would do.

"this is our guest room, where you're going to be sleeping. Everything is free reign in the kitchen and any where else, just be sure to stay out of my parents room and Mary K's. they have this sixth sense when some one other then them selves had been in there with out their permission." she said " So, you can use the hall bathroom. Everything is stocked up. I put fresh Linens on the bed. and some new towels out on the vanity. You can use that wardrobe" she said pointing to the huge mahogany double doored wardrobe. "and this dresser, So, if you don't mind, and if you feel comfortable, Im going to go back to bed for a couple of hours. I'm feeling a bit under the weather"

As I was looking around and taking in her surroundings she said

"Thanks again Morgan, so much. Ill see you later on today, get some sleep and feel better. Ill make breakfast"

"alright, if you need anything let me know"

and with that she left the room back towards her bedroom.

--

As I unpacked belongings and placed them into the wardrobe, and dresser, I decided to take a quick shower, and then I would go down and start one some breakfast. Then I was going to go to the only occult book store in this area with Morgan.

End chapter 2.
