3 Chap 3
Bob, Merriam I'm home. Hello is anyone here! Crimeny, you'd think that they atleast be HOME on my birthday. I walked into the kitchen and there they were. Bob and Merriam on the floor... dead. A puddle of blood around them. I screamed so loud that the whole neighborhood heard me. I was so loud that the neighbor came running into my house minutes later. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw them. All she could do was stare at them for a while. Then she realized I was still in the room. She took me by the arm and pulled me into the living room, and then she called the police. When she was done I went to the phone and called Lita. She said she'd be right over. My neighbor looked at me like she expected me to cry. Well she'd be waiting for a long time because I wasn't going to cry for my parents. They never cared about me. They didn't even remember my birthday. The police came in about five minutes later and took my neighbor aside to question her. A minute later Lita came in and gave me a big hug. We sat there for some time while the police questioned me. Then they took Lita aside and questioned her. She came back and told me to get packed. I WAS GOING TO LIVE WITH HER. I don't know if this was the worst or best day of my life. I packed a lot of my stuff. It took about an hour. There were about four boxes filled with books. We loaded it all into Lita's minivan and headed to her mansion. Yes her mansion. During the time she was disowned she got married to a wonderful millionaire. He was cute, handsome, sweet, and rich. What could be better? I was the bridesmaid in their wedding. We reached their mansion in about 10 minutes. I then realized that I could get to Arnold's house (not to mention all my other friend's houses and the park) on my bike in about 5 minutes. We entered the mansion that would be my new home. I found out later on that in my parent's will my parents said I should go with Lita if they ever died even if they had disowned her. That was the best thing they had ever done for me in my entire life. "Come on Helga let me show you to your room". "My room? You have a room for me already?" "Of course I do. Michael and I have always hoped that Bob and Merriam would let you visit us one day. We have a room already for you." " Really!" "Really." She led me upstairs and down the hall and into one of the biggest rooms I have ever seen in my entire life. It was painted pink, purple and blue in a really cool blend of artistic color. There were posters of my favorite bands and my friends on the wall. There was even a picture of Arnold. There was a canopy bed, beanbag chair, and a cordless phone the same colors as the rugs and walls. A big screen t.v. with a gamecube and games to go with it. There were also two doors on each side of the room leading to somewhere. There was still lots of floor room too. "Do you like it?" "WHOA!" That's all I could manage to say it was so wonderful, so artistic, so... me. "There's more" " There's more?" That was all I could manage to say. "Yup." She lead me through the first door (the one on the left) On the other side of the door there was a bathroom the size of my old bedroom. It even had a shower and hot tub and a bathroom dresser complete with makeup, brushes, and the basic bathroom stuff. "Yes! No more having to wait for people to get out of the bathroom when I'm trying to get ready for school." Lita smiled, relieved that I liked it. " We still have one more room to go." " What more could you possibly do?" " You'll see, close your eyes." I closed my eyes and she led me into the next room. " Are you looking?" "Nope" "Good." " Ok open." I opened my eyes and I looked around. I was in a meditating room/ library. There was hundreds of books in there. There were places to burn incense and steam water fountain with straw rugs and comfy chairs. I couldn't stop the tears. I was so happy. "Thank you Lita, thank you. I'm going to love it here!" " Well I'm happy to hear it." Later on we had dinner. It was my favorite meal. Michael was so nice to me too. They really love me I realized. Later on when I was settling to go to sleep Lita knocked on my door. " Come in!" "Are you ok Helga?" Yea Lita I'm fine." " Helga, I know how awful your life was before, I hope I can make it ten times better." " You already did." I smiled. She smiled too. She kissed me on the cheek and went to her room. Thinking about it today may have been one of the best days of my life even if my parents died. I'm happy now, and safe with Lita. I know it sounds awful that I didn't care about my parent's death, but they really hadn't loved me, and I hadn't in return loved them.
End chap.
Author's note: Hey it's a bit longer right? I hope you like it. I hope you review. In the upcoming chap. There will be more about Whispering Pines and Arnold. I felt as if I needed this chapter, it's the family part of my story. The romance is coming up soon. PROMISE!
