"Abba Wake up"My mom nudged me. Opening my eyes and removing my sticky cheeks from the window I was met with a clear view of tall green and brown pillars surrounded a black road. The trees as large as they were did not block to sun, becauseit wasn't there, cloaked in a fog the sky was an empty grey.
"Well what do you think?"she smiled.
We are in a forrest for Pete's sake
"We aren't in Kansas anymore"I gasped. Figuratively I lived in Kansas all my life and you would think when your mom wins the lottery she would want to get out of there as soon as possible and go to somewhere like Washington or Los Angeles or even New York, my dream home. However she choose Rain Falls across the undead sea I think and in the middle of no where.The name itself sounded depressing, but the scenery was not that bad. I would give my first and only experience moving to the United Kingdom a nine out of ten.
"Yeah now get your butt up and help me unpack"My mom said,and then I heard her car door shut. Trying to feel my legs from driving for hours I didn't notice the house until I was right at the foot of the patio
"Mom this house is huge"I gasped. This house could have eaten a twenty of my old houses for breakfast. It reeked if old money and if we weren't in the uk I'd say it was resembled a plantation. Beforewe lived in a small house and this was a huge step in another direction, one I wasn't sure I was willing to take.
My mother in the other hand always did her best to support me and even in our little house she created a home, and even without my dad she raised me, and I thank whoever's up there that she won the lottery, because I won the lottery when I got her as a mom. Being a small town girl means that we take what we've got any and every chance. I didn't want to be stuck in Kansas forever. And as sad as it may sound this was the first time I left Kansas.
"Can you stop day dreaming and help me"She huffed.I grabbed another box and stacked three up.
"You only got three"She huffed coming out the front door.
"Wouldn't want to lose muscle."I scoffed
"Shut up"she chuckled.I walked past the threshold and into the house.
Oh my god
It was beautiful hard wooden floors and white walls.It was an empty type of beautiful."Take a picture it last longer"My mom smiled she had about eight boxes in her arms
"Where are the rooms?"I asked
"Upstairs"she said nodding her head toward the stairs
"Which room?"I asked
"Well I got the biggest room so that means you get anyone besides the big one"She explained. She looked at the house lovingly. I always thought it took a while for someone to make a house into a home, but the way my mom smiled, she knew this was home.
"How many rooms are there"I asked
"Five. Two down stairs, and three upstairs"She said
"Why aren't we in downstairs"I questions
"They're pretty small"She said and walked back outside.
"Oh"I said
"Be careful on those stairs you have school next week and I don't want you to break your arm"She said
"If i did it would probably be healed in time"I stated
"Yeah but....."She trailed off, she looked away thinking about something else. I continued walking upstairs.By about ten steps I was exhausted
I really need to get in shape
"Still be careful I don't want blood on the floor"She said. As if my well being wasn't important.
"Love you too mom"I smiled.I looked at the rooms. My mom luckily put her boxes in front of her room which eliminated that room for possibilities.I still peaked into her room.It was huge,probably the size of our house and then some.I almost dropped the boxes looking in the room.I closed it
if her room is that big how big is mine
I walked to the next room.It was huge and had a small window. So much space i didnt know what i would do with it i slowly closed the door,but not before peaking to look at it again.The boxes started to get on my nerves so I set them down before entering the third room
Sweet black baby Jesus
It was gorgeous it had a huge window and you could see the green tall trees. My wolf howled in desperation. I stepped closer to the window touching the cold glass, I opened the window. I have never seen so much green in my life. It was breathtaking. Back in Kanas where I lived, you'd be lucky if you were rich enough to buy fake green grass but authenitc real green grass and trees all the time smelled beautiful I had my mind completely wrong about this place"I knew you would like this room the best"My mom said.I turned around she was leaning on the door.
"This all for me"i smiled with tears streaming down my face.Growing up I didn't get a lot of things and getting this room is just I don't know overwhelming.This room is way bigger than the room is ever expect to get.I am so grateful for my mother,and all the sacrifices she's made to raise me,and this,this is just a dream come true.
"Yes and sweetie we dont have to worry about any more problems."Her voice choked when she said that.My mom was work all day work all night and sleep between breaks kinda mom.She works hard for her money,and the only reason she get the lotto ticket was because a stranger said to.
"I love you mom"i hugged.She has given me so much in my life and i am so grateful and all of this was shocking
"I know but you know that we need to fill this room"
