Chapter3
Ryan felt like his heart was being ripped out of him as he watched his sister drive away.
"Where's Trey?" asked Ryan, 'He should be here.'
"He already left." Replied Dawn.
"He didn't want to say goodbye to Kay?"
"I don't know. I don't know what that boy is fucking thinking anymore." Said Dawn. "Not go get your stuff. We're leaving in a few minutes."
Her now house wasn't much different from her old home, just a little cleaner.
'I think all the houses in Fresno have the same setup.' Kayla thought looking around.
"You can have the room on the 2nd left, down the hallway." Linda said.
Kayla nodded. Everything was all too familiar. Gary took his usual place in his chair in front of the television, reminding Kayla of her father when he was drunk. Drugs were stashed in corners and drawers around the house. The only difference was that she was all alone now.
Kayla dragged her boxes to her room and looked around. There wasn't much, but it did have a bed. She immediately flopped on it, dropping her belongings on the floor. Hearing the sound of broken glass, she stopped and looked through the box to find an old picture frame. In it was a picture of Ryan, Trey, and herself a year ago, on her 13th birthday. Her brothers had taken her out to the park for ice cream and it was so nice not having anyone there to bother or punish them.
Kayla smiled at her thoughts and laid down to sleep.
Ryan looked lazily out the winder and blocked out his mother's babbling voice.
'How can she be so normal? She just abandoned her daughter!' Ryan thought, repulsed.
Dawn noticed Ryan's mood and the tense atmosphere in the car and kept trying to push it out of her mind. 'I did the right thing…I did the right thing…'
"Listen Ry, I know that you're upset with me now, but in time you'll see that I did the right thing for all of us."
"How can you say that mom? She's your only daughter and you just dropped her like she was nothing." Said Ryan.
Dawn shook her unwanted tears away and stared forward. Ryan looked back out of the window in anger.
"It's gonna be different now. You'll see." Said Dawn.
"Yeah, I bet it is." Scoffed Ryan, sarcastically.
Sorry about the short chapter. the next one will be much longer, promise! REVIEW!
