Love found me again

Waking up...

Chapter 2
Waking up...

Present day.............

Cherryl POV
Why am I seeing all this?
So that was how my dad was shot. I always remembered that night. I just didn't know how he happened to be shot. Well....now I know.
The past and future were hitting me. It was as through I was in all past, present and future at the same time.

Just then........a scream cut through my thoughts.
"Cherrrrrryyyyyyyyl!!!!!!"

"Ughhhhhh mum!" I said drowsily I still wasn't completely wake and I couldn't really tell, what was going on. Is this also a dream, a vision too?

But then my question got answered when I heard a very large and firm knock on my door.

"Mummmy!!" I said distortedly
"We have to get going soon" mum said.

"What .............. why?" I asked completely confused

Then I remembered we were moving house again
"Why is dad in trouble again?" I thought rolling my eyes

"Just get ready" Mum said exasperated

I grudgingly get up and go over to my things and starts packing. More like throwing them into the suitcase. At least we lived longer in this house than any other

"Cherryl Lester. Make sure you pack it well"

"Ugggggggghhhhhhh." Why does she know me so well? At least this time I was giving a chance to pack.

..................... A little while later............
I finished packing. And I did it well.

Waiting, for the time we would finally leave I decided to grab my favourite book. Waterfalls.
Lovely, just lovely.

"And my prince appeared. Sarah said smiling."
Well, would you look at that.
You have yours sis. But where is mine!
It's not fair!!!
I rolled my eyes and continued to read.

...................... doorbell rings..............

"Can someone please get the door?" Mum suddenly called.
"Ron?" I called out
You know since she said someone and did not necessarily mention my name I decided to call Ron.
He is not here now so I have to the door. He is never around when you need him. I was sulking because seriously I am older. I grudgingly walk out and reached for the door. I took a total time of 200 seconds to get to the door. Which is quite a lot considering the fact that my room is the closest to the front door.

And when I opened the door.........

*door creaks*

It was just dad. You know if you were wondering.

I hardly see him home so I was contemplating how to relate with this "stranger."
Finally, I decided to be as neutral as I could be and responded in the calmest manner.

"Hello dad." I said
"Hey pumpkin." He said.
"Today...." He said clearly trying to start a conversation with me.

Then....
"How's the packing coming along" He said
"Fine, just fine dad" I replied

"I know I am hardly here for you but I really love you. You know that right?"
"Yes, I do dad"

And then he hugged me.
It was almost time to go so I went to get my brother.
"Ron" I called about 3 times

Searching the garden........
When I almost gave up and decided I will move into the new house without him that was when...

"Hey sis" He said
He had suddenly appeared before me in the most annoying manner. He seemed to want to impress me with his muscles. Was he flexing. Seriously with which muscles? Me? Seriously? His sister?

"You know if you wanted a girlfriend, you should just tell me"
"I..." He started

I then left him there not bothering to hear him out. I really did not want to leave this house.
He then walked over.
"Hey, sis are you sad?" He said quite concerned

"Yeah, I am sad we have to keep moving." I said.

"I feel the same way but everything will be alright." He said
"Well, ..." I said unsure
"Trust me. I will always be here for you."
"Wow, bro. If I didn't know better I would say you are kind off sweet."

*giggles*
We both had a good laugh

"Thanks. You will always be my cute little brother." I said just waiting for his reaction to the cute

"Don't call me cute." He said slightly irritated

"Well, then let's get going" I said shrugging
Peter dad's friend came around to help us pack.
And soon we left for a place I hoped will change our lives.
And it did.
Like a lot.

After a while we were finally at our new home.
"Mum, dad this place is lovely."
"I just hope we stay here for long" I said pleadingly because you know our history.

Later......

"We have good news" Mum said eeringly
"Yes we do" Dad said
"I will go check on dinner" Mum said obviously trying to escape

"Dad, what is it?" I asked nervously

"You are going to school tomorrow" He said firmly without a blinking.
I was drinking water so I almost choked on it.

After coughing so many times... I finally found my voice

"But we just got here." I shrieked.

"We don't want you to get left behind in your studies." Mum called from the kitchen.

Ron as irritating as ever started to laugh. He's so carefree that sometimes it gets annoying

"You know your mum wanted me to say it so..."
"It's a decision you both made so don't blame her." I said shooting death glares at him.

I was just about to leave when ...
"Honey, where are you going? Won't you have dinner?" My mum called.

"Not hungry. Just lost my appetite." I said.

I then left.
I gave a call to Maddie to let her know I was coming over.

.......................
A little while later............

When I got to the door the house was ringing with laughter. I was so drawn to the unfamiliar voice that I heard speaking to Maddie. Well at least I know this stranger has a very beautiful laugh.

Then I knocked and knocked and then I barged in....
