So there I sat in my room, in Shaina's house, where I stayed again that
week. I wondered to myself if my life was always going to be like this
running from danger and doing nothing about it. I sat on the bed I was
given. In the room that once belonged to another.
"Cho, dinner's almost ready," said Shaina's mother after knocking on the door and peeping in the room.
"Okay then, I'll be out in a second." I said, I turned away as she left the door I stared out the window and I saw the one thing I wanted the most a caring relationship with my family. Just like the little girl out side. Her parents looked so happy together, mines didn't. One dead the other drunk, I hated my life, I just wanted to die, it's not worth living anymore.
I came down stairs and found them all eating already; Shaina was lucky to have a family that cared.
"Hey everybody" I said placing myself next to Shaina.
"Hey," said Shaina.
"You know what guys I'm not feeling very hungry today so I'll just pass." I said staring at the food feeling disgusted, not cause of the food or anything it just that I didn't want to eat.
I was excused from her mother's nods and grunts from grandfather. Her family was so cool; I wish mine where like that.
It's been a week since I've seen my father and news spreads fast in the wizardry world, It seems my father found a new spouse already, probably some hooker on the street but whatever ever I didn't care anymore, I also heard news that he has a search warrant out for me. Oh god I hope he doesn't find me.
"Hey," Shaina said coming into my room. She plopped herself on the bed.
"Hey what's up?" I asked tossing my book on to the table.
"Nothing I just now your really still upset about your mom, and the fact your father who doesn't want to have anything to do with you in the first place is after you." She said picking up one of my magazines and looking through it.
"Yeah, my life is a living hell, so what's new? How are you and Orlando?" I asked.
"Peachy perfect can you believe it?" she said
I nodded my head because everything around me but me was perfect.
"Hey Cho, don't worry that bastard will never find you here" she said
"Well you don't know him very well then, watch he'll find me, once he sets his mind to something he'll get it. Whatever it is." I said looking down.
"It's okay just be happy we're going back to Hogwarts next week."
"How can I be happy about that? I mean the train station is like the perfect place where he kind find me and get." I said. "I'm safe no where"
"God Cho, stop being so negative, what if your father forgets about you, or what if he changes." She said
"Huh, changes" I said looking up at her, "He'll never change, I'll be dead before he changes, Hell will freeze over before he changes,"
"No you're wrong, hell will freeze over when Antoinette is skinny and pretty." She said.
And thinking of that put a smile on my face. I walked over towards her and whacked her with a pillow.
She whacked me back, "well its true you know it and I know it."
"Yeah I know, but it's not our fault and poor Josh has to suffer with it, I feel so sorry for him." I said
"Yeah that's true. Oh well not our problem" she said.
"Yeah, well its his and its kind of sad, but at least she's not after Orlando anymore." I said sitting down on my chair.
"So have you heard about your step mother yet?" she asked me as is I really cared.
"No, why?" I asked not really looking at her, kind of more wondering why he already has a new wife when my mother, his recent wife, passed away last week ago.
"Well I'm sorry to tell you this but you know you favorite Aunt?"
I nodded my head and wondered what she was going to tell me now.
"Well you aunt, is his new wife." She said.
My eyes just opened wide I couldn't believe it, why would she marry a guy like him? Did she think she could change him? Or was she a fool?
My aunt was smart; she was on her way to becoming a muggle lawyer. She was young and pretty probably why my father wanted her, God knows his only been cheating on mom ever since I was born. I just don't understand why she wanted him.
My focus on my aunt for whatever reason she wanted to be with my father, even though she saw the abuse my mother went through, was interrupted as Shaina waved her hand in front of my face and called out my name.
"Huh? I mean what?" I asked snapping back to reality.
"Nothing you just kind of zoned out a little." She said.
"Oh ok then, and um ugh is the only way I can put that news." I said putting a disgusting face on. Besides I would have done it if she didn't ask my anything but told me that.
"Cho, dinner's almost ready," said Shaina's mother after knocking on the door and peeping in the room.
