As i sat in the passenger seat i reclined back and put on my headphones, i didnt really want to talk about the situation nor did i want to re-open wounds that took alot of time, effort, and strength to close. My dad wasnt great when it came to his words
so he spoke with his actions. My mother on the other hand was swift and knew just what to say.

I took my headphones out pausing the and putting the car seat back up. "Dad. Where are we going." was all i said.

My dad took his time answering and i didnt mind. "A family friend that i grew up with offered for us to stay with him in his, well, mansion. and for work i can help him with his company since i come up with pretty great ideas" my father said trying to
lighten the mood. i had to crack a smile at that, i know hes trying.

"Plus, Him and his wife have two sons, one thats your age and one thats a few years younger. i hope you guys get along" He finished off.

Hmm, living in a house where theres only one other girl and four boys. i guess we'll see how it turns out.

A few hours later we arrived at the mansion, he was right, this place was HUGE!

as i looked out my window i noticed a family standing at the front door. they looked so happy, suddenly my face heated up with pure shame at the realization that we live with a family who has their shit together.

The parents began talking as the three of us teens stood awkwardly waiting for instruction, all i wanted was to shower and sleep since sleeping in a car isnt as peaceful and comfortable as it would be for an infant.

Soon my dad allowed me to get my bags and we were shown to our rooms, Mrs. Riggs bringing me to mine.

"Im so glad another girl is around, its nice to get away from the regular boy drama" Mrs. Riggs said with a sigh of relief

I smiled. She was so sweet. "So, I know you just got here but maybe later i can take you shopping, we can get to know eachother and its been forever since ive i had girls day out." Mrs. Riggs said enthusiastically

Although i was tired i couldnt just say no, plus i would love to get some new clothes and get out of the house, even though i wouldnt be able to get out of this house without a trail or something to help me. its a damn maze.
