Welcome to the U.K
2 - Moving?
After what happened at school I didn't feel like doing anything, but curling up with my small chocolate lab puppy and sheilding myself with my comforter, as if it made me vanish and disapear into another world. A world where no one would find me and use me.
I ended up doing just that. The blanket's corners were tucked beneath me and the warm furry pup wiggled up to my face licking away the invisable tears. I giggled quietly and placed my hand on her head running it down her soft fur. "I love you, Em." She barked a quiet bark and nuzzled closer.
Just as I kissed her head my door creaked open and loud thump's pounded onto the wood floor some one came in. "honey, you okay?" My dad's voice rang through my tiny room. I shut my eyes and faked a snore hoping he would leave me be. The blanket was tugged from beneath me and light peaked through the thin line between my eyelids blinding me for a moment. Although I kept up my 'sleeping' act, he took a deep breath and sat down beside me.
" I don't know how I'll tell you this when you're awake. But I got a job offer, and I can't refuse it. They are going to pay for a new house, and I'll be able to get a lot more cash... the only thing is, it means we have to move.. to the U.k." He spoke, as if I was awake. I lazily sat up and stared at him. "Wh-what?" He jumped back and put his hand over his heart. "Gee! You could have given me a heart attack young lady!" He exclaimed settling back down near my feet. "I said - when I thought you were asleep - that we have to move, so I can earn more money." He grumbled again and looked up from my bedding. "Oh..." My eyes trailed where ever. From my desk, to the wall, ceiling, anything that meant I didn't have to look at my dad.
"..okay then. Just one thing, when are we going to move?" He sighed and peered at me. I could feel his cold hard stare. "By the end of the week we have to be on a plane and headed towards the U.K. otherwise I wont get the job." I couldn't form words, I just nodded quickly and tried to figure out what I was going to do. Everyone I knew was here, even if they would never speak to me again. Or were too afraid they might get picked on by him as well.
"Dinner will be ready in a few, make sure to get your sister at the table." He quickly got up and left my room, door open a crack and the thuds of his footsteps became quieter. Ever since mom had died he became more stern, and quiet. And it didn't help when he had two daugthers, one only being three and depending on the help of others.
