Chapter 12

Keeping my eyes fixed on the car window, we were currently driving down the road to the house that Thorm had shown me earlier. It was discussed earlier that we will live there with Florine and Tyron so that we can all get to know each other better. Thorm is driving while Florine is next to him, I decided to sit in the back while Tyron follows us with his motorcycle. I heard Florine talking to Thorm asking what is Thorm wants and favorites. I'm not interested in listening so I amuse myself with the beautiful view outside. A few more minutes passed and we finally arrived at the house that Thorm just bought, I didn't wait for Thorm to open up the door because I had already gone down first, I thought Florine would come down too but he waited for Thorm to open the door for her. "It's very artistic..." I said weakly. A few seconds later, Tyron also arrived, he immediately got off his motorcycle and immediately went to the back of the car to help Thorm unload the things. I insist on helping to carry the things because Florine doesn't seem to have any intention to help, if I don't help them it might be night before we finish here. A few minutes passed and we finished arranging our things. This house has four rooms and we are all alone. Out of nowhere I decided to go to the yard. They have a large yard here and a large garden, because this place is far from the city, only the chirping of birds can be heard. I slowly stepped closer to a big tree. I sat on the hammock and started swinging it, while I was not swinging myself, I suddenly stopped when I suddenly felt a strong wind that suddenly passed behind me, I immediately stopped and looked behind me but there was nothing. It was as if someone quickly passed behind me because of the force of the wind that suddenly gathered behind me. While I was looking behind me, suddenly someone spoke. "So you're Rebecca right?" I slowly turned my head and I saw Florine in front of me. Why she's staring at me like that, just like she's scanning my whole being with a disgusting look in her face. "Yes, Rebecca Wilson." I offered my hand for a shake but she didn't bother to take it. "Ow I think I know why Thorm needs a second wife." She said while looking at me from up and down. This girl is really getting on my nerves. I didn't reply and smirk at her either. I decided to go inside the house so I got down from the hammock and passed her without looking. But we were only a foot away from each other when I suddenly stopped and spoke. "You don't know who I am darling..." I said and continued walking. She left with a disgusted face. ***** After arranging my stuff in my new room I decided to sit on the side of my bed and I took the small picture frame of my family. It was captured when I was 7 years old, I smiled why staring how genuine our smile. If I could turn back time, I'd rather stay young because I don't think about anything else but playing, eating and sleeping. I really missed Feona and Mom, I hope I can visit them often. "You are the only one who will be blamed for what happened to me right now," I said while staring at my dad photo. Little by little, the anger returned to my heart. I turned my attention to the door when someone knocked. "Rebecca... Can I come in?" I heard Thorm's voice. I immediately opened the door for him. "Hi. I just finished fixing things, I just wonder if you need help or something," he said. "I just finished too." I answered and forced myself to let him in. He slowly walked towards the big window. 'I actually chose this room for you because I know you like to observe beautiful surroundings. He was right, I really like the view, and the window is just right because the view is right there when the sun sets. I slowly walked towards him and told him while we both looked into the distance. "Do you miss them?" I turned my attention to him when he suddenly spoke. His eyes were still focused in the distance. "Yes, I really miss them so much. Back then I couldn't imagine being away from them because I thought being away from them was too painful." "Do you hate your father for what he did?" I swallowed deeply when he suddenly asked that. I hate him for what he was now, dad has changed so much since he became addicted to gambling. I really miss the old one, he treated me and Feona like a princess. He did nothing but work and provide all our needs, he spoiled us even mom but I don't know why he suddenly changed. "I hate him for what he did, I never thought he would do that to his own child. But I admit that once, he has been a good father to Feona and us, we love him very much because he gives us almost all our luxuries, he also never loses time for us. I just don't know why he gradually changed." After my last word it was as if I suddenly felt heavy, I bowed down and it was as if sadness was slowly enveloping me again because of what I said. He slowly raised his hand and rubbed my back. "It's okay, we all have our own situations that we face in our lives and I know for sure that there is a reason for everything that happens to us. Did you ask him why he's acting like that now?" "I didn't have the chance to ask about that because since then, he seems to have distanced himself from us and it seems like he doesn't treat us as family anymore," I replied.
