Broken Shadow Pieces

Chapter 1: The Big Change

       Mama  say's I'm dramatic but I don't think that at all. I mean I was apart of the drama club and I did graduate 2 months ago. I am pursuing  move to LA to become a film producer. I'm studying at the Los Angeles film school yes, I know you don't have to tell me not everyone is going to make it big but me.... I'm going to make it big! I am Braelynn Levine of course I'm going to make it or should I say I hope I do. Back to my big move .I was supposed to move about a week ago but mama kept switching her mind and saying I should just go but you know how that is I don't want to let her go. She finally decided yesterday that she will come but now we have to pay extra on our plane ticket because we didn't put it in advance. See this sucks I wanted to go a week ago because I wanted to get used to LA sure there is  famous people out there and is expensive and so crowded, but I'm going to become the next Tyler Perry.

       Enough of me I gotta pack. I'm so busy with working 2 jobs oh I forgot to mention I'm not rich I live in a house to rent struggling to pay 1450 each month. BRAELYN EVE LEVINE Get DOWN HERE! Says mama.  Coming I say shouting from the top of my lungs nervously.  As I walk down stairs to the kitchen where I see mama finishing up my favorite dinner meal before our big move tommorrow. I excitedly say mmm smells good in here it smells like your famous baked mac n cheese with some fried chicken and collard greens and cornbread. Mama chuckles with her beautiful reluctant smile. I havn't seen mama even smile since her and my dad  divorced and recently been locked up  it's been tough for us both mama havn't really talked to him except on every  saturday I don't bother tho. Mama resumes putting everything into pans to serve. Mama tells me to set the table in the dining room and call my sisters down to eat . I go halfway up the steps and call one of my sisters down BRIANNA, FOODS READY.  Briana is very quiet and calm and always watching anime and obsessed with bts I don't bother to come more up the stairs. "Briana calmly say's coming". To the next I call my other sister Brielle. "Brielle FOODS READY." Brielle is loud and energetic besides her ADHD and watching supernatrual shows. 

          As I'm finished putting everything on the table Briana and Brielle both run down the stairs to the kitchen. Mama stops them and  say's "slow down and go sit at the table."  Brielle sits next to me and Briana sits next to mama as always.  We all talk about our move to LA and Briana dosen't seem happy and shes picking at her food with her fork. Briana wants to stay in our current town Briana is happy an says we might get to meet Grant Gustan he stars in the tv show The Flash. I say this is a new change and it would benefit us. Briana includes with a snarky attitude well I don't want to leave. I have all my friends here and you know I don't do well with starting new this might kick up my manic depression. I say well if you take your medication then everything will be fine. Brielle intrudes Braelynn is right mama and briana this change could help. Briana gets up and screams as loud as lions roar. I shout and say well you have too. Mama includes we could just visit you Braelynn. WHAT!! You said you were coming and Brielle is excited about it why is it that when it comes to me you and Briana back out? That's not fair says mama we support you but LA is a big change. I end up shouting at mama which hurts because I have this big knot in my stomach. Mama says lets just talk this out. Ugh I say. Well I don't want to talk and I'll go by myself and don't even bother coming. I get up and throw the rest of my favorite meal in the trash, i'm to upset to eat with mama and Briana that I stomp upstairs so loudly that I slam my door and just  plump on my fluffy bed and just scream into my pillow. I grab my grandfathers obituary and tears just fall out my eyes onto the paper. All I say is I wish you were here.
