Chapter 1: New Phone
"Finally"
I murmured reaching out for the red phone. It was finally fully charged. "I still don't understand why we have to wait for it to fully charge before using it" speaking to myself as I flipped it open and searched to see if my new sim had copied the old sims contact's, like the salesman said it would do, after whatever he did with them.
-mum
-dad
-bells
-gran
Scrolling down faster to the bottom to see the last name
-chole
Yep, it looks like they are all here blowing my blonde hair out of my face. Better start texting everyone my new number.
"Evi?" Hearing my sister shout. Getting up of my bed I make way to my bedroom door. Pulling it open I pop my head out looking down the white corridor walls littered in family photos to see my sisters head popping out her own door. My favourite photo of us two is just across her from her door.
We were about 6 and our grandma brought us to a photoshoot to get photos for mums birthdays. We were both in white t-shirts and blue jeans with little pig tails in our hair. It was such a fun day
"Yeah?" watching as she brushes her brown hair back behind her ear.
"Do you know where mum is? She said she was going to take us food shopping" ah, our mother.
She try's to be the cool, hip mum. Only give us a few chores. Such as; just make sure our rooms are clean and take bins out. But no rules, other than be nice to one another. It doesn't work well as she's very flighty and a bit dipsy. So she forgets to buy food in. We were always late to stuff if she drove us and she always forgets to tell us her plans.
It's just made us look after each other better. Bells and me against the world, looking after our mum. We do all the cleaning and cooking. Don't get me wrong I love my mum, but sometimes I just wished she was like my friends mum. Actually look after us... always feels like we are the mums and she's the daughter.
Looking into the same deep brown eyes as my own "she's gone on a date with Phil. He rang this morning saying he's back in town"
Phil our mums boyfriend. He's good for her make her act more mature around us and he's definitely great with Bells and I, but she's a young mum and Phil makes her feel younger. She's crazy about him and that makes her act like a love sick teenager, she forgets all her plans just to be with him.
I notice Bells face drop "I'll take you" I quickly replied "mum's left us some money for us to use. So I think subconsciously she remembered we need to do a food shop? Just let me get changed first, yeah?" looking down at my purple floral pjs.
"Thanks Evi. I don't know what I would do without you" she smiles at me.
"Probably break your leg, some ribs and crack your skull all while you some how lost a lot of blood" I sarcastically reply. "Right I'll meet you down at Bruce. Just give me a couple of minutes." Bells gives me a weird look but nods.
Where the hell did that reply come from. Shacking my head as I look at the photo across from my door. Which is bells favourite from that day.
Right better get dressed
Making my way down the steps fiddling with my new phone as I put it in my bag I see Bells leaning against Bruce.
"Oy! Stop leaning against my baby! I don't want your skinny ass bum print on him!" Who does she think she is scaring my baby like that.
"Eve's its just a car" just a car she says.
"I put my blood, sweat, heart and soul into that so called car. He is my baby and your nephew!" She just laugh's at me. "Don't listen to aunty Bella Brucy. You are much more than a car. You are family" I whisper to Bruce as whilst petting his bonnet.
Looking over at Bells I notice our next door neighbour looking at us like we are crazy. "Hi Mr Sanders!" I shout waving like crazy with a Cheshire cat smile on my face.
"Oh my god. Just get in the car!" Bella opens my door and drags me into the car, then quickly runs to the other side and gets in looking mortified. "Drive. Just drive" she demands. Laughing like a mad man I pull out of the drive.
Flopping backwards on to my bed with a grone. God. I hate shopping with Bells. Any type of shopping, all you get is 'too expensive, expire date ends too soon, it'll look better on you than me, what are you putting in the trolley' it never ends. This is why she goes with mum. I just can't handle it.
Glancing at my phone in my hand. I never got around to texting my new number to people. Ugh. I'll do it tomorrow I'm to tired now.
