Chapter 8 Things like that shows how lucky I am!

Start from the beginning
                                        

A though minutes later I eventually let her go, crying like mad. She hesitantly got in the car with glassy eyes as well and drove off with her hand out the widow in farewell.

"Come on in Rachel"said Sue. When she saw my face she gave me a hug an squeezed me tightly. "Come on, we can get take out and me and Leah got some ice cream and chocolate for later" Takeing me by the hand and pulling me inside.

We had an awesome time that weekend after about five minutes, when I forgot about her and dad going away for the weekend. I had most of the fun because of ant Sue and uncle Harry, letting us do all that.

END OF FLASHBACK FROM MEMORY

After my mum's death the Clearwater family became our second family to the Blacks. Coming around a lot to make us tea at tea time at first, than they wouldn't come around as often. But they still rang up a lot and we always came around a lot to see all the Clearwater's. Me, Becky and Leah were really close and even when I left she and her family where the only people I could bear to talk to and not breakdown about my mother [ other than my family of course] .

As I picked my head from looking at the ground. I realized I was just a though houses away from the Clearwater's house. It looked just the same. Yet more weeds around the house as if someone hadn't had the time to pick them out and just leave the beautiful flowers alone. But other than that the white to story house, looked just like it used to be. I walked up and went through the same memorable polished navy blue front door.

"Ahh Rachel you're here!"

I didn't have time to respond because suddenly arms engulfed me hugging me tight and as they pulled away I realized it was aunty Sue.

"Hey it's good to see yah again"

"Oh yes me to, oh look at you still so beautiful, still so much like your mother " she said touching my hair and looking at me as if she was seeing my mother instead of me.

It made me want to cry. Like it always has and does and I wonder sometimes would I ever stop thinking of it as a curse since my mother's death and eventually think of it as a gift. Like it was lucky that I inherited nearly all my mothers features and parts of her personality. Like I would stay as a memory of her so no one could forget her. I should be looking at that like it's a miracle, since not many people after loosing someone they love can have the chance to be the memory of them. It should not make me move out to get away from all the people my mum ever knew so people could stop reminding me of all our similarities. Each time they say something about me being like my mother in a appearance, personality or maybe just something I said. It always did and does makes me want to leave as quickly as I could from my old home town.

"You okay" Sue's asked shaking me lightly bringing me back to the present.

"Sure, sure" I said.

"Alright your Dad and Charlie are in the living room and everyone else is around and about" she smiled brightly.

"Who's everyone else" I asked trying to be casual. But wishing in my head repeating over and over again please don't of made a big deal out of it.

"Oh you know nearly everyone" She said casually.

"WHAT" panicked I said, startling her."sorry I didn't mean to startle you"

"It's fine don't worry, come an meet everybody " she said leading me into the living room where to my unpleasantness [ not in a mean way of course] there was everyone I knew and even some people who I had never met be four.

"Rachel ahh you're back" Katie Hedger yelled excitedly holding my hands, than jumping up and down in joy, forcing me to awkwardly jump to.

Katie Hedger is my oldest best friend, when me and

Sandra Halous stuck to being enemies she moved to lu push and we became incredibly close since she was my only friend in school [ if you exclude Leah]. When I left home to go to Washington saté college, she also went to college their as well. But in her second year, she got a call saying that her mother was in a car crash. Unfortunately he didn't make it. She had to quit college to get a job and look after her baby sister Luna and younger brother matt, since they didn't have any other family members and she didn't want them to go into foster care.

It was one of the times that I very rarely came home. I came home for her to help her out on her first month, than I had a proper cry and she told me to go home. Since I had done enough for her already helping her with the funeral and getting her a job for the bills and just being there for her. I felt so bad leaving, when she had done so much for me. When my mum died and I was going through a hard time she was always there and I don't know what I would have done with out her.

At 8 o'clock I had managed to avoid my dad, and to hold the tears in. I was making my way towards the back garden after talking to old friends and new people.

"Rachel can we talk"

I looked up to find dad next to me and with a serious expression on.

"You know I gotter get some fresh air I er see yah" I quickly ran out the door not wanting to stay long enough to have the talk about what we were talking about be four.

Not looking were I was going I ran straight into something as hard as rock but luckily they caught me just be four I hit the ground.

I looked up just to realize the person who I ran into was ….

That BLOODY angry, arrogant asshole again.
