Moving Day |
Inside a dark old room on a small worm out bed laid a petite girl lost deep in thought "Amelia" startled she rises from the bed holding her chest, with a thumping heart she replies "yes coming"
She mumbles " one of these days I might die of a heart attack" she puts on her slippers and rushes downstairs to meet her family at the dinner table waiting for her to join them eat. She takes a seat and dishes out her food and starts eating "mom? Is sister still mad at us?" A cute little boy with chubby cheeks asked his mother "no dear" she replies pinching her pinkish chubby cheeks "she is not mad at us she just needs time to digest the fact that we will be moving out soon that's all okay?" She adds " but she never sat beside me nor did she speak to me like she usually does" the little boy says with eyes brimming with tears about to fall the mother sighs and looks at her daughters direction and says " don't cry Kyle she is just tired eat your food u will speak with her later okay?" "Yes mom" Kyle replies and looks at his sisters direction dejectedly he looks down at his plate and starts eating.
"Amelia?" She turns after hearing her name being called " yes mom?" She answers " why are you giving us a cold shoulder my dear?"her mom asks with a confused expression on her face while putting her hand on Amelia's shoulder " I'm not mom" she replies "no u acted so differently today during dinner" " I didn't realize that mom sorry" she says looking at her feet " it's okay dear I understand how u feel but please understand with us please we have to leave this place since your fathers income can't cover the expenses since he got kicked out of his job, right now he needs us to understand him now and not cause him stress okay?" Amelia noods her head still looking at the floor " please dear please?"her mom Mrs Cylia adds in desperation " I hear you mom it's okay I understand please don't beg me I'm just a little sad because I literally grew up here and now I'm moving to a new environment, new school it's all just so sudden that I never knew how to react to the news so I'm sorry" Amelia replies with tears falling from her eyes " awwwn my baby don't cry it's going to be alright soon okay I promise" " it's alright mom I'll start packing up now" her mom rises from her bed and kisses her forehead saying " I have a feeling that this will turn out well" she smiles and wishes her daughter a good night
Amelia pov
I had the worst day today so many bad things happening in my life lately that I'm having a hard time keeping up, first my brother got into a fight because of me then I got suspended from school over something I didn't do then I fell in the mud at school after being pushed Infront of so many people and now the news of us moving out I can't keep up not to forget that I have been having weird dreams too " how much can a girl take" mumble to my self while pulling my hair in frustration
I hear 3 consecutive knocks on my door I yell " come in" and in walks my chubby little brother with pink cheeks, a blonde hair, fair completion and beautiful brown eyes. My heart just melts each time I look at my little brother he is just the best thing in my life right now, he is 4 years old and will be 5 in the next 2 weeks cool right
"What's up Kylie" I ask using his nickname, he looks down on the floor wearing a guilty expression on " what's wrong" I ask looking concerned as I get up from my bed and walk over to him, as I reach I crouch down to his level and takes his face in my hands and raise his head up to face me and I was stunned to see him crying I hug him and pat his back and ask again in a gentle voice " what's wrong Kylie I don't like seeing you cry " I tell him " I'm sorry Amie" he says in a barely audible voice" why?" I ask " u are sad because we are moving because of me right? I will not fight any more or make you angry I'm sorry I made u sad Amie" my heart breaks at his words in his childish voice and I break down crying too " it's not your fault Kylie" I manage to say between sobs" we are not moving because of you okay?" I say he releases himself from my embrace and says" but you ignored me during dinner today so I thought I was the reason and that you were angry with me " he says as he wipes away my tears, I laugh admist crying and say " I'm sorry I was just thinking about the new life that waits us ""really " he asks " yes really " I reply as I wipe his cheeks
" Now look at what you have done " I scold him playfully" you broke rule number 3 and make us cry soooooo" I say as I see him widening his eyes and says " nooooo Amie no punishment please" I laugh and get up on my feet and start chasing him around the room as he screams in laughter begging me "please Amie nooo" he says as I get a hold on him and laying him on the bed " time for the tickling monster kido" I say as I start tickling him with his childish laughter filling my room I stop when I see his face all red and I feel contented " now go I have to pack up" I say " let me help" he says as he picks up my well folded dress and shuves it into my open box " aaaah that's not how to do it, leave it I can pack on my own go to bed it's late" I say but he looks at me weirdly sitting on my bed and says " who will read me a bed time story then? And I want to sleep with you tonight" "okay lie down let me finish packing okay?" " Ok"
