I finally managed to come up with a back ground story for Stephanie that I like after tweaking it and writing so many versions. Anyhow, it's going to start out from Stephanie's point of view of her and mike's early lives then change into a regular story w

10. Chapter 10

A distant night bird mocks the sun

Chapter 10 Something inside of me died

A week after Stephanie had overheard the conversation between her Aunt and brother, the day had come for Mike to leave home and go start a new life in his own.

While her Aunt and cousins were sad to see him leave, Stephanie was just too angry with his betrayal, that she chose to stay upstairs in her room until he left.

As Mike was getting ready to leave, he wondered why his sister wasn't around to say goodbye to him along with the rest of their family. Before taking his two suitcases and guitar in hand, Mike went up the stairs to his sister's room to see why she wasn't saying goodbye.

Knocking on the bedroom door, Mike heard a voice telling him to just hurry up and leave already.

"I ain't going any where until I find out why you aren't telling me goodbye like Aunt Kate and our cousins. "Said Mike

"Isn't it obvious?"said Stephanie "You get to leave this place, while I have to stay behind."

"Now hold on a minute,I tried to get Aunt Kate to let me take you with me

But she wants you to stay here until, I can find a steady job and a place to live."said Mike

"You say that now, but I have a good bet you'll forget all about me."said Stephanie

"Trust me kid, I will be coming back for you I promise. "Mike sighed

Finally opening the door, Stephanie said goodbye to her brother tightly as she finally managed to say goodbye to him, which wasn't the easiest thing because, as much as she wanted to hate him, she just couldn't find it in her heart to have c so much hate for somebody she really loved.

Following everyone outside as Mike got into the car that Aunt Kate had promised him he could have for his eighteenth birthday, Stephanie held back the tears burning in her eyes and salt waved goodbye as Mike finally drove down the ranch house's dirt road for the last time.

Feeling like get world had come to an end first with losing her mother, and as her brother moved away to try and better himself, Stephanie knew that from here on out she needed to look after herself and try to survive living under her Aunt's roof and abiding by her Aunt's rules until she is okd enough to be out on her own just like her brother had done.
