New Beginning by K.A.M :) (the beach read TXT) 📕

"Alexa, come downstairs please" My step-mom yelled from downstairs. 

"Why, what do you want?" I yelled annoyedly downstairs. I didn't want to get up so I just ignored her. 

"Alexa, come please" She yelled again. Ugh, I don't feel like it. 

"NO, I don't want to" I yelled back. 

"Alexa, come downstairs now please" my dad asked. Just because he asked so nicely I'll go. 

"Sure dad" As I walked downstairs I saw another family on the other couch in front of my dad. There was a Man and Lady who looked they were in their early thirties, and next to them was a boy around my age. He had light brown hair and cute blue eyes. 

"This is Mr. and Mrs. Foster, and their son Derek." He gestured towards the family on the other side of the couch. 

"Ok and what are they doing here?" I asked annoyed. I want to go back upstairs. 

"You will be leaving with them, tomorrow and live with them from now on. You will go to a different school somewhere." He said sadly looking down. I wanted to yell NO at him, I don't want to live with someone who's hand feels like holding an ice cube. 

"WHY, I DON'T TO GO LIVE WITH SOME RANDOM STRANGER!!!" I yelled at him. 

"Don't yell at your father!" My step-mom said to me. 

"Shut up lady!" I yelled at her. She turned her head away. 

"The reason why is because we don't have enough to provide for all three of us so I made a trade to Mr. and Mrs. Foster, and now you have to go live with them." He said Now I am upset about the whole solution. A random family comes into my house saying they're going to talk me away from my DAD, just so that my father and this lady can live together. NO that's not happening. 

"NO, I'm staying right here," I said sitting on the couch away from everyone. 

"No your not you are going to go upstairs and pack your clothes and get ready to leave in the morning." I could tell he was upset. Did he want me to leave that badly, that he would give me up to some strangers? I am as upset as he is. "So go now," He said pointing to the staircase. 

I saw Mr. Foster tap Derek's arm and whisper in his ear something. Then Derek stood up and followed me up the stairs. Once we got to the top I turned around and looked at him. "Why are you here?" I asked furiously. 

He looked confused at first then said "My dad told me to help you pack your things" I said confidently, that was not what I was asking.

I chuckled at myself for a second, then recovered and said: "No I mean why are you and your parents here?" I asked. "I don't want to live with some random strangers. I don't even know you." I said pointing down the stairs. 

"I don't know why but I do know that its because your father needs the money, and could not provide for all three of you guys. So now you will be living with me and my family" He also said confidently. 

I rolled my eyes and stomped into my room and started packing. I already had two suitcases under my bed in case of some type of emergency. "Why do you already have two cases?" Derek asked. 

"For emergency," I said in a DUH tone. He just nodded and looked around the room.

When I was finished I had five suitcases and two duffle bags. I carried the two duffle bags and a suitcase and asked Derek if he could hold the other four suitcases downstairs. 

When we got down them I glared at my dad for making me leave and went into the kitchen to get something to eat. When I was finished eating I stomped up the stairs and went into my room and slammed the door and turned on my speaker and blasted some music. I heard my dad yell for me to turn down the music, but I didn't want to so I didn't. 

I laid on my bed listening to music but sometime in the night, I went to sleep. 

I woke up in the morning with someone's cold arm around my waist. I turned around and screamed. Derek was in my bed so I pushed him onto the floor. "Why are you in my bed, Freak!?!" I yelled at him. He shrugged. "Well get out NOW!!!" 

"Nope," He said popping the "P". "I will stay right here," He said sitting on my bed. 

"GET OUT NOW!!" I yelled. He just laid down on my bed. UGH. 

I got up and went to my dresser that had the outfit I didn't pack. A white tang-top and black ripped jeans. I want to and got in the shower and wash my hair. I got out and brushed my teeth and washed my face. I went to the other side of the bathroom and brushed my hair, and curled the ends of it. I put my clothes on and made my way back into my room. Derek was not in there so I just laid on my bed until my dad called me down for breakfast. 

IT WAS WEIRD. nobody was talking until dad asked me to tell Mr. and Mrs. Foster what I like to do. "Um, I like listening to music, reading, and texting my friends." 

"What do you read about?" Mr. Foster asked me. 

"Mostly mystical characters. and other things that fall into that category" I said bored. I finished eating and was about to get up when Mr. Foster asked "What types of mystical characters" He asked. It was really weird how he asked it like he wanted me to say something about it.

"Why," I asked slowly. Confused why he wanted to know.

"I just want to know," he said 

"Mostly about wolves and vamps," I said, I finished my breakfast and went up the stairs.

I walked up the stairs and laid on my bed. I started texting Leah one of my best friends, about the situation.

ME: Leaving not coming back :( :( :(

LEAH: WHYYYYY!!!

ME: Dad says I have to move with some weird family. 

LEAH: Well can I come over until you leave????? :) please

ME: YESSS PLZZZZ!!!!!!!

LEAH: Coming right over 

Leah and I live on the same street just like four houses down. In about five minutes the doorbell rung I ran down the stairs, my step-mom was about to open the door when I pushed her out of the way and opened the door myself.  Once I opened the door I gave Leah a big hug and we ran into the living room. 

"Hey, dad you don't have a problem with Leah coming over?" I asked him. 

"No, I don't have a problem, but can Derek come up with you guys." I gave him a weird look and looked at Leah she shrugged. WHYYYYY. I thought to myself. 

"I guess," I said annoyed. I grabbed Leah's arm and told Derek to come up the stairs with us. When we got in my room we both looked, Derek. 

"Yes?" He asked confused and uncomfortable. We just keep staring until he asked again "YES!?!?" Me and Leah just started laughing. Derek rolled his eyes. 

"So Leah this is Derek, Derek this is Leah" They shook hands.

"Alexa why are you leaving" Leah started wining. I seen Derek winced, I chuckled. 

"Honestly I don't even know, my dad told me that he didn't have enough to take care of all three of us so he made a trade to his family" I pointed at Derek. "So now I have to stay with his family and do whatever," I said rolling my eyes when I finished talking. 

"I feel so sorry for you," Leah said. I heard Derek snicker at what Leah said. We both turned to him. 

"Yes, do you have a problem with anything being said?" I asked. I stared into his eyes. It's like having a staring contest know that you will lose at any second. 

"Well, I mean, you shouldn't have a problem with it, it's not like we are keeping you, hostage stuck in a house. And you will learn more about yourself while you're there." I looked at him upset for a second and yelled. 

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!" I was extremely upset at what he had said. I don't even want to go with his stupid family thing or whatever. Leah looked at me scared, but this is not the first time I did this. 

I remember when me and Leah were having a sleepover with some other friends. One of them said something I did not agree with and was highly disrespectful. So I yelled at her to get out of my house, her parents had to pick her up at the front porch. 

"Dang I'm sorry to make you upset, I was just saying," Derek said defending himself. I cooled down a little. 

"Can you just be quiet for the rest of the time? " I asked calmly. 

"Sure I can-" He got cut off by the sound of my phone ding. 

DAD: R U guys ok, I heard you yelling?

ME: We R good just had a little disagreement

DAD: Tell me if U need something :) 

ME: :) 

"Ok, what were you saying?" I asked Derek. 

"Nothing" 

--- 1 hour Later ---

Me and Leah were talking about all the things about people at school and mostly on our phones. Derek was not much of a problem either. He was mostly on his phone most of the time also. Until dad called us down to eat dinner. 

"Right after dinner Alexa, you will be leaving to go with them," Dad said which, just ruined the whole mood at the table. I and Leah were talking about something and he just says that all of a sudden. 

"Way to ruin the mood dad," I said sadly because I would miss Leah and all of my other friends. 

"Sorry just telling you what's going to happen after-," he said. 

"Whatever," I said cutting him off. When everyone was finished eating I walked Leah back home, I told her mother what was going on and that I would be leaving. We gave each other hugs and I left to walk back home. 

When I walked up to my porch a limo pulled up on the curb. I ran into the house and went where everyone was, "Why is there a limo outside of the house?" I asked. 

"To get up to the airport, sweetie," Mrs. Fosters said kindly, that was the first time I heard her speak. 

"Where are we going specifically," I asked her. All I know is that I'm leaving away from my dad for who knows how long. 

"You just have to ride and the limo and see where it takes you" She smiled at me, I tried to smile back. 

I still don't agree with this whole thing but if I must go I'll go. 

 I hugged my dad and was about to walk out of the door when she said: "Aren't you going to give your step-mother a hug?" He asked, Really, he thought I was going to touch that lady? 

"Um, her not really, love you!" I said running out the door.
