I got everything I owned in to the bed of my truck. I drove to the bank, withdrew all of my savings than closed the account. I drove and drove and all I could think about is the fight me and my mom had before all of this.
***
“You’re worthless just like your father. When are you going to get of your lazy bum and start doing what I tell you?” She yelled at me.
I screamed at her “ME WORTHLESS. I DO EVERYTHING. I GO TO SCHOOL, I go to work, take care of 4 cats, 3 dogs, 2 fish, and a bird. I do all the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning and the raising of my two little brothers. Without me here you would not know what to do. And how am I like my father whom I don’t even know and whom you won’t talk about.”
Mom reached over and slapped me yelling “YOU ARROGENT, UNGRATEFUL CHILD. If you don’t like it here you can walk out right know and not come back.”
“Fine, I’m gone” I told her

So now that is why I am driving. Driving to where you might ask well I am driving to Aimer. It is a small city or large town I’m not sure what to call it. My aunt lives there so that is why I’m heading there. Her and my mom don’t talk at all. Auntie said if anything happened that I could go to her. My aunt Izzy is a wonderful person. She has a big heart and is very caring of others in need.
I had arrived at my aunt Izzy’s at 11: 37 p.m. she was up and waiting for me to get there. When I got out of my truck auntie came running out
“Serena, are you okay?” she said grabbing me and checking me over
“Yes, Auntie I’m fine.” I said trying to shake her off.
She took my arm and pulled me into her house. When we were finally inside her house she grabbed me and started hugging me.
“I just can’t believe my sister would ever do this to you” she said “Why is she so cruel to you, you look just like him from your white blonde hair to your blue eyes.”
“I look just like who auntie?” I asked
“Your father Serena”
“MY father?? I look just like him?” I asked
“Yes very much so” She replied
“Ms. Izzy, I’m done fixing your sink.” Came a male’s voice out of the kitchen before I could ask any more questions about it.
I looked at my aunt in confusion; a red headed boy came out of the kitchen drying his hands.
“Oh, I totally forgot you were here Ceil” Said Auntie clapping her hands together.
“Uh-huh…” He said staring at me
“Oh, this is my niece Serena she just got here.” Auntie said looking from him to me and back.
“Your niece??” he looked at me questionably “You’re too young to have a niece her age.”
“My eldest sister had her at 17; I was only 7 when she was born.” Auntie said blushing
“Oh, it’s nice to meet you.” He held out his hand to me as if all questions had been answered.
“Nice to meet you too.” I said flatly shaking his hand
My aunt thanked Ceil for fixing her sink and paid him 30 dollars for his work.
He walked out saying “Have a nice night, ladies”
Now all he needed was a cowboy hat and a southern twang. I could see him tipping his hat and saying Night y’all. I just had to smirk at my thought.
“Night, Ceil” My aunt called to him as she waved good night.
“So what did you think of him.” My aunt asked
“Hmm, think of whom” I asked as I came out of my daydream.
“Ceil silly.”
“Oh, him he’s ok.” I said “Uh he seems very helpful…Um handy as one might say.”
“Are you okay Serena?”
“Yah I’m fine. I said, it’s just that I’m sleepy.”
“Oh well if that’s it I’ll show you to your room.”
“Okay I’ll just follow you.”
I followed my aunt up the stairs and down to the end of the hall to door that would be my bed room until I probably graduate. It was a plain room with a full size bed under a big picture window. A nightstand on each side of the bed the nightstand on the right side of the bed had a lamp and the left nightstand had a photograph of four girls and one boy. It also had a sliding French door that led to the terrace. I walked over to the left side of the bed and sat down I picked up the framed memory. The photo was my mom and my three aunts. But who is the boy? He looks the same age a mom could he be… I put the photo back. My aunt walked in as I had lain back on the bed. She walked over and put a pair of her Pjs next to me.
“Here you can wear these for tonight.”
“Thanks auntie.”
“You’re welcome, well good night Reni.”
“Good night.”
I got off the bed and changed in to the pajamas my aunt gave me. I walked out on to the terrace, were a warm spring breeze greeted me. I could see the stars from here. I also could see next door, there was Ciel standing in the middle of what I believe was his bed room on the phone with someone. Why on earth was he on the phone with someone this late at night? Was it family or a friend who was in need of consoling? There was pebbles on the terrace so I trough one at his window to get his attention. He hear it but ignored it so I through another one. He finally looked over to see me waving at him. He waved back.
