FLASHBACK CONTINUED || 14 YEARS OLD.
the day had finally came, my mother was really sending me away. i thought she would change her mind, but she's really serious. i finish packing the last bag that i have when i hear faint footsteps coming up the stairs and stop in front of my room, knowing who they were, preventing confrontation i answered.
" i'm on my way down, five minutes please. " i stated to my mother, as i heard her leave i stand up, putting my phone charger in my bag and my phone in my back pocket. i look around my bright baby blue room and tear up a little. i quickly pick up my luggage and walk downstairs, out the door to my mothers car.
" let me help you with those, indigo. " marcus, reaches down taking my bags from me forcefully. i scoff in disgust, but allow him and open the car door, swiftly getting inside.
the car ride is very silent, no-one's saying a word to one another. the only sound you can hear is the radio playing " trip " by ella mai. i pull my phone from my pocket, checking the time ' 1:15 p.m. ' a few minutes later we pull up to this big building that has " chesters group home. " in big bold letters on the front of the building.
i get out the car ready and anxious to get out of my mothers presence. as she pops the trunk, i grab my two bags and follow behind her into the building. as we walk in we're greeted by a lady, and she and my mother go into a room. i sit outside the door, scrolling through instagram on my phone.
thirty mins later my mom and the lady came back out and my mom walked out the building without saying a word to me. the lady whose name tag stated " andria f. " looked at me and motioned for me to follow her up to a room where three other girls where in there.
" girls this is indigo blu, make her feel welcomed. " ms. andria stated, before walking off leaving me and the girls looking at each other.
" hey, i'm jaylee ... and that's star and this is ibria. " i look at all of them, and nod my head slightly before opening my mouth to introduce myself.
" hi , i'm indigo ... y'all can call me indi. " i spoke softly, and waved at them before putting my stuff on the empty bed and sitting down on it. all three of them sat down on their beds and begin to stare at me before the one named star said something.
" why you hea' for ? " her lousiana accent was very easy to pick up. i laughed softly and sat criss cross on my new bed and played with the hem of my shirt.
" my mom's boyfriend was doing stuff to me, i told my mom and she didn't believe me. so she sent me here. no big deal. " i started tearing up, but quickly wiped my eyes, pulling my phone out, checking the time. ' 7:52 p.m '
suddenly we hear a voice come over the intercom stating " almost 8:00 kids, time for bed. lights out in 10 mins. " i put my stuff under my new bed, and put my phone on the charger and pulled the covers back , getting underneath closing my eyes, hearing our doors lock and the lights go out.
" goodnight mama , i know you hate me. but i still love you. i will forever and always. you'll realize i was right one day, and regret your decision. until then i hope he makes you happy. " i whisper to myself, and softly cry myself to sleep. thinking of an escape plan to get away from this place.
chapter two! i hope this is pretty good. i tried. it wasn't simple coming up with a way to bring in the other 3 female characters. but i thought having them meet in the group home would be a good point. so i hope you guys enjoy, please comment, like and share. thaanks! - khalia & sephorical
