The first thing I do when I wake up takes a look around and realize I must have fallen asleep in mom's room. I get up and stretch then head to my room to shower and get ready for a day of packing.
As I make my way down to get something to eat I see dad in the kitchen making my brother and me pancakes.
He puts a plate In front of me and states "eat you didn't last night."
"Thanks, dad it looks great."
"No problem sweety eat up."
After eating I go up and start going through my room and packing it I'm saving moms room for last.
after several hours I get my clothes sorted into 2 piles keep and toss.
I carefully pack the clothes I want and bag up the clothes I don't. I then take my boxes of clothes to my truck and get back to work packing.
I carefully wrap all the breakables and my jewelry box .all that's left now is my bedding and my books.
After I'm done I stop and eat lunch my brother and dad are at the table talking.
"Well, I'm done with my room I just have to take the stuff to the truck and then start on the bathroom."
"I'll get it if you sit and eat we will do the living room and kitchen."
"Thanks, guys I appreciate it."
"no problem"
I sit there and eat a sandwich and chips then get back to work packing the rest of the house.
Now comes mom's room, the hard part.
As I enter I box up her bedding being careful to put her jewelry box in between the blankets and sheets then start going through everything. It was the hardest thing iv ever had to do but it's done.
I head downstairs and ask dad to take the boxes to the truck." no problem sweetie.
"Let's go to dinner we can go get some burgers then go back to the hotel."
"ok, I know some good places."
we sit in a dinner that has great burgers and shakes.
After we order dad says"your brother and I will drive back in the truck you will fly home we will meet at the airport."
"ok dad" I respond."
"I will also be introducing you to my girlfriend who is living with me when we get back."
" You mean the women you left me and mom for?"
"Please be nice to her sweetie for me."
"I'll try but I'm not calling her mom."
"no one can replace your mom."
"you sure did I'm tired I'm going to the hotel I lost my appetite."
as I get by the hotel I get to my room and lay down but sleep doesn't come. I get up and text my friend Jenny " hey you up "
after a few minutes, my phone goes off "yeah what's up"
" come to my hotel room and ill tell you all about it"
"ok on my way"
thirty minutes later we were sitting in my room talking and told her all about today including the fact that I'll be living with the woman who stole my dad from my mom.
" well damn that sucks wish I could be of help."
"it's ok it's just hard plus we sell the house tomorrow."
"It will be ok let's lay down I'll stay here tonight I already told my mom."
As we get to bed we fall asleep talking.
The next morning we get up and eat breakfast then my dad comes in with my brother.
"Im still angry I don t want to talk about it let's just meet the realtor and get this over with."
"sweetie I just wanted to let you know all the money is yours I don't need or want it so we will set up a bank account for you after the sale."
" Thanks, dad"
" Jenny wants to go to lunch today"
"Yeah, that sounds great."
So we all get into dads car and head over to the house. As soon as we get there I see a man in a suit standing by his car.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Johnson The realtor. Im Sara this is my dad Phillip and my brother Jacob."
"Hello yes, I am the realtor Mr. Johnson I'm sorry for your loss."
" Thank you so much are you ready to view the house ."
"Yes I am iv looked at the outside and yard and so far it's beautiful you and your mom did a great job on the garden."
"Thank you she kept up on it because my dad made it for her when she was pregnant with me."
"shall we go inside?"
"yes sounds wonderful."
so we take the realtor inside and show him the house and he loves it.
"This is an exquisite house your mom did an outstanding job maintaining it I'm impressed."
"As you can tell it's a 4 bedroom 3 bath house with a massive kitchen huge wrap-around deck it has an office with library space full basement and attic. What could we get for it?"
"You can get up to $800,000 for it ill list it today it should go quickly."
"Ok thank you so much."
"No problem we will be in touch."
As the realtor left my dad says " You did great their sweety The house will sell soon how do you feel?"
"I don't know yet dad I'm selling moms house it's hard to let go of the house I grew up in. let's just go get Jessica and go to lunch."
As we pull up to get Jessica I get a call from moms lawyer.
"Hello?"
"Hello, ms. freeman this is ms smith and I'm calling about your mom's will, do you have a moment to speak?"
"Yes I do Is everything ok?"
"Yes you get everything can you come by to get the details?"
"Yes, can I stop by in a couple of hours?"
"No problem I'm in the office all day."
" see you later."
"Is everything ok?" dad asks.
"Yeah, I get whatever mom left me in her will I got to go pick it up after lunch."
"Ok, sweety let's go get lunch."
We stop and eat at my favorite all-you-can-eat buffet after Jessica gets in the car.
After lunch, we head over to the lawyers to find out what I get.
" Hello, Im Sara freeman here to see ms smith."
"Yes, she's been expecting you right this way."
We follow her to a large meeting room.
"She will be with you in a moment would you like a soda or coffee?"
"A soda would be great thank you."
"Anything for anyone else?"
"Sodas all around please." my dad states.
"I'll be right back with those."
It took about 5 minutes then she was back with the sodas and ms smith.
she passed out the sodas and then left.
"Im sorry we have to meet under the unfortunate circumstances."
"Thank you I wasn't expecting a call I didn't think my mom had anything to leave me."
"Well, your mom transferred everything she had into an account in your name that you were to get upon her death."
"OK, so how much did she leave?"
"She left you $200000."
"Oh my god, I didn't know she had all that money."
"She has been saving it for you"
"Well thank you how do I get access to the account?"
"Nothing I have all the stuff you need here."
She hands me a paper to sign then hands me a large envelope with banking info and an atm card.
"Thank you so much."
"No problem."
As we leave I get a call from the realtor saying it's sold and needs account info to deposit the money so I give her the info and within minutes the payment has gone through.
"Well, I and your brother are leaving tonight your flight is tomorrow night we will meet you at the airport in Nashville ok sweety."
"thanks, dad I appreciate it."
"No problem."
After dad leaves, I head to bed so I can get up early and say bye to Jessica dad took her home on his way out. I head out early the next day so I can say goodbye to Jessica and have her take me to the airport. Even though the flight was only 2 hours it felt like forever.
AS I walk out of the terminal my dad is standing there with my truck which has been unloaded.
"Hi, dad how was the drive?"
"It was good how was the flight?"
"Long or at least it felt like it."
"Well let's get you home."
"ok, dad let's go."
As we pull up to the house I'm in shock it's huge it made my old house look tiny.
"oh my god, dad it's huge."
"Well let's give you a tour you will like the inside better."
as we walk in there is a huge staircase that leads up to the bedrooms there are seven bedrooms in total up there all with their own bathroom. as we walk to the first floor there is a huge living room a game room a dining room and a kitchen. there is also a media room which is more like a movie theater. then we get to the backyard which has an outdoor kitchen and a pool.
We walk into the backyard to find misty out there sunbathing while Jacob is swimming
My dad walks up to her and says "Hunny I'm home with Sara."
she gets a sickly sweet smile on her face and says " Welcome to MY home." Putting emphasis on the fact that it was her home.
"Thank you it's a beautiful home."
"well thanks, I have worked hard for it don't mess it up just because he accidentally knocked up a human doesn't mean that I will tolerate you messing up my home And you can call me mom that's what ill be anyway."
I lost it at that comment. " I didn't ask for my mom to be killed by a blood sucker like you the only ones I will tolerate are my brother and dad. secondly, it was not an accident my dad loved my mom he left for her and mines safety. third I didn't ask to be in your home my dad brought me here not you, and lastly, you will never be my mother, she was killed shes dead so piss off. Stay out of my way and ill stay out of yours. Dad where is my room."
"misty for one that was uncalled for two I loved Sara's mom and three it's my some I paid for it so get in line it is now my daughter home back off her and you are not her mom."
"Let's get you to your new room sweety so you can relax I also have brochures from your new school. I have your room set up already and have a surprise for you."
As we walk up to my room he tells me " Im at the end of the hall but your brother is right next to you if you need anything, ok sweety?"
"Thanks, dad."
He opens my door and my room is perfectly made in different shades of purple. I have a walk-in closet and my own bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. Then he brings me my surprise a kitten named Binx.
"Everything you need for him is in your bathroom."
"Thanks, dad."
"No problem sweety get some rest."
As I lay down with bink and look at the school brochures I know a few things I hate misty and I hate going to a paranormal high school I don't think I'm going to like this school I graduate in a year I hope I can survive that long. This is going to suck but at least I can swim all summer and dad works from home so maybe it won't be too bad with misty around.
