Chapter 1-Why does this happen to me
Steph point of view>>>
I look at myself in the mirror and frown at the bruises on my arm. I could of probably cover it up with long sleeves, too bad, it’s the middle of summer I am just going to have to find another way to cover it up.
I hear my mom call my name. I sigh and put my sleeve down. I will have to find a way to cover the bruises later. I walk in my room to the living room and see my three older brothers. This is weird and at the side, I see my mom they all look very worried. When one of my brothers see me everyone started to stare at me then I finally speak
“What the heck is going on,” I finally say.
All my brothers look at my mom to talk and she finally does taking a deep breath, she speaks," Steph, I and your brothers talked and think you should go live with your grandmother for a while.”
The room goes quiet meanwhile I try to process what my mom just told me. My grandmother the person I have never seen in my life, my mom wants to throw me with someone I don’t know.
“Why?” I ask her.
“Steph my decision is final, I am sorry you can’t change my mind.” She says.
My mom walks out of the room and I look at my three older brothers.
“Who’s idea was this?” I say.
My older brother gets up from the sofa “It was mine but it’s the best for you Steph and you know it too.” He answers.
I look at my older brother Michael. Then at my twin brothers Shawn and Ashton. Mich was 18 and was going to college and the twins just turned 17 which leads to me being 16.
“So it's only me who’s going?” I ask.
Michael shakes his head and sighs “You should go up and pack, the plane you leave in is in three days.”
I just sigh and go up to my room to pack being the smallest means following the orders of your older brothers. I pack all my stuff which trust me are not a lot, I look around my room. It’s very little but am going to miss it. Some knocks on the door and I tell them to come in, it’s my mom. She comes in and sits on the bed.
“I know it’s very hard for you buts for the best.” She tells me. "Look Steph I am going to tell you this my life was different from the life you live here, I got in an argument with your grandmother before leaving when I was younger and I recently just called her. She said yes that you could live with her for a while but with certain conditions, they being only you could come and another also but that will be told to you later okay."
I just nod my head I mean like what else could I do. When she leaves my room I pull at a suitcase and start packing up my stuff most of them are jeans and shirts. I mean the plain shirts, not the girly girl ones and some of my shoes. Well and some of my boyish clothes. That’s me am the tomboy in my school I play two sports, volleyball and my favorite soccer. Did I mention I am a geek too. So what does a tomboy and a geek add up to well let me answer your question just plain weird.
