Chapter 5 Macs new look

Before I could get up off the floor my mom came in. "Bella what did you do now?"

I simply said, "I fell down."

Saying my name in frustration she put the bags down, walked over to me and picked me up off the floor. She placed me on the first bed.

She spotted the hardcover books, as she picked them up she asked: "What's this?"

Mac answered for me in an isn't it obvious tone. "They're books."

My mom rolled her eyes. "I can see that. Why are they here?"

Mac gestured toward me. "So she can read them. That lady from the front desk, Merry, Maggie, Mae, I don't know something like that. She dropped them off for her."

She sighed dramatically. "She's only four years old. She can't read. That old lady was just being nosy" My mom took the book's and threw them in the garbage.

"NO!" I screamed, I ran over and took the books out of the garbage hugging them to me.

"Bella you can't read."

"I'll learn. Please, mommy."

Before she could say anything else Mac interrupted. "You got everything on the list."

Mom seemed to forget about me and the books. "Yes, and a few extra things."

Mac looked annoyed and said "That didn't take long. I figured you'd have to go to a few different stores."

They busied themselves with going through the bags. My mom explained. "There's a shopping center down the block." Mac took a few things and put them into one bag.

After shoving cheese doodles in his mouth he took the bag and returned to the bathroom. My mom handed me a paper bag with a hamburger and fries in it. While I ate, Mac called her into the bathroom. I could hear a buzzing sound. Then soon after I heard the water start running my mom came out. A while later Mac came out too, but he looked different. His hair was short and blond. He put sunglasses and a cap on his head.

He took a quick look around and demanded. "Start packing"

My mom looked surprised. "We're not staying?"

"No. I don't like this place. The quicker we get out of here the better."

Mac and my mom started throwing things into the bags including the crayons and coloring books. I hugged my reading books. Mac took the bags down to the car and mom and I finished getting ready to leave. After my mom returned the keys. We all got in the car and started on a very long drive. I guess this was the start of our adventure.
