Leaving Everything Behind
Chapter Number 1
Leaving everything behind is easy... probably not. But what can I do?
After my parents' divorce, I stayed with my mom. My dad cheated on my mom...
“Eira! Darling, will you please unpack this box?” my mom said to me with full hope.
“Okay, Mom,” I said with a sigh.
My mom gave me her cute smile.
I helped her unpack the things. She was beautiful, energetic, funny, and cute. How could someone cheat on her?
My ringtone rang.
I picked up the call. My best friend, Lisa, was on the other end. She sounded full of excitement.
“Thanks, baby girl, for this beautiful gift! I don't believe I am 18 years old. Eighteen! I am so happy! What about you? What kind of place are you living in? Countryside places are so beautiful! Are you there?”
I smiled.
“Yeah! I am here. I'm happy that you liked my gift.”
But because of the poor network signal, she couldn't hear my voice.
“Hello, Eira?”
Then the call disconnected.
Network issues.
What kind of life am I living?
Angrily, I went to my room on the second floor. It wasn't very big. There was a cabinet, a small bed, and a chair and table for studying. In front of my study table was a window. My packed boxes were still scattered around the room.
I sighed and sat at my table.
Then I looked outside.
In front of my house was a creepy-looking house. It was bigger than ours and completely surrounded by bushes and trees.
I could only see one window, partly covered by the leaves of a tall tree.
Creepy...
But interesting.
