Chapter.2 A New Home

“Aaaaa, were finally out of that hospital!” Elexa said in relief. “Yeah, but where is this place that were going to live? Anthony asked Elexa, while stretching his arms in the sunlight. “Um, I think its about an hour and a half away from here, some place called Ashburry.” Elexa said lifting one of her suit cases into the taxi. “It’s that far away, that’s stupid, why do we have to move any ways? Dad left us more than enough money and the house is already paid for. So why? Ugh so why the hell do we have to move away?” Anthony shouted at his sister. “Why? Because dad lied he never paid off the mortgage, and because the money that he left us wont last us the rest of our lives, and because, because we have to pay for his funeral! That’s why! Elexa said now crying. “What, I thought that he paid the mortgage, he told us that he did.” Anthony said looking at the ground. “He told us he did but he really used it to pay for moms operation.” Elexa said and then sat into the taxi and shut the door. Anthony put his suit case into the taxi and he to sat into the taxi. As the taxi drove away, Elexa and Anthony took one final look at were they used to live and were quiet for the rest of the drive. As they pulled up to where there new home was Elexa was about to get out of the taxi when her brother Anthony pulled her back. “Hey what’s you’re problem?” Elexa asked in an angry voice. “About earlier, i'm sorry for yelling at you, I know its not you’re fault, so about earlier i’m sorry.” Anthony said pulling his sister into a hug, and then got out of the taxi. Elexa sat there for a moment and then smiled at her brother.

Elexa and Anthony walked into this apartment building that they would now have to call home. “Well maybe its better then what it looks like in our actual apartment.” Elexa said in a un convincing voice. “Yeah and maybe there wont be wholes in the walls like in this hallway.” Anthony said looking at the walls of the wet sour smelling hallway of there new home. The two of them walked slowly up the stairs towards there apartment. When they finally reached there apartment Anthony opened the door and walked into where they would now have to live, Elexa followed after him. They put there suite cases down and looked around. “So this is it, this is our home.” Anthony stated. “Theirs only one bedroom, and there’s only one bathroom.” Elexa said in an upset voice. “What? So I guess this must be our living room and kitchen.” Anthony said in a low voice. “I thought it was going to be a lot bigger.” Elexa said looking around there apartment. “Yeah and I thought it wasn’t going to smell as bad!” Anthony said sitting on his suit case looking around the room. When is our furniture going to get here? Elexa asked her brother, even though she new that he wouldn’t know but wanted to change the subject. “How the hell should I know? Probably soon. So what school are we going to? Anthony asked. “Its called Ashburry High. Its two blocks away.” Elexa said now sitting on her own suite case. Just then there was a knock on there door. Anthony got up and answered it. “yeah we have you’re furniture. A bald man with a pot belly said. “Oh, hey Elexa the movers are hear.” Anthony said to his sister. “We just need you to sign here.” The man said handing Anthony the bill. “250 dollars for you just to bring some furniture?” Anthony asked the pot belly bald man standing before him. “Hey don’t get mad at me I’m just the guy who brings you the furniture, not the person who makes the prices. “sorry, that’s okay, don’t worry its fine.” Elexa interrupted. “Uh huh, so where do you want us to put this couch?” the man asked in an annoyed voice. “Um right over there in that corner. After the moving people left Elexa and Anthony sat on there couch. “We have way to much stuff for this dump!” Anthony stated. “We will just sell some of this stuff, and you know we will have to get a job, right?” Elexa asked her brother. “Yah, yah I think I know that. Do we have any food, I’m starving?” Anthony asked Elexa. In one of these boxes, but then were going to have to look for the dishes.” Elexa replied. “Yah I guess we should un pack soon. Hey we should eat out tonight.” Anthony suggested. “Yea I guess we could do that but first we should un pack some of this stuff.” Elexa reminded. “yah, yah I know.” Anthony said.

Chapter1 part 2 Together

Elexa Looked at them completely shocked not knowing what to say. Her heart was now beating even faster. She started to feel a little dizzy. “Miss, Miss are you ok?” the other police officer asked. Elexa still feeling dizzy, didn’t know what to say, didn’t know what to do, her heart beating faster and faster, and no longer able to keep her balance, Elexa past out. The slim police officer caught her before she had fallen to the ground.

The next morning Elexa awoke from a bright light shinning in her eyes. It was a doctor examining her. She jumped back. “What’s going on?” She asked with a worried look on her face. “Where am I?” She asked. “Not to worry you’re in good hands. I am Doctor. Mackey. Do you remember anything from the other night?” The woman Doctor asked Looking and studying her closely. “I, I am not, sure. But my head really hurts. Why what happened?” Elexa asked. The doctor looked at her very carefully. “Are you sure you don’t remember anything?” The doctor asked again. Elexa looked at her puzzled. Then remembered. Tears began to fill her eyes. Then before she new it she was crying uncontrollable sobs. The doctor sat on the bed next to her and gave her shoulder a light rub and walked out of the room. After a little while Elexa calmed her self and wiped away the tears that she had cried, and got out of the hospital bed. She walked slowly towards the door and opened it. “Oh Miss. Taylor, Hello, how are you feeling?” The doctor asked. Elexa looked up. “Where is my brother?” she asked in a whisper. Not loud but just loud enough to hear. “Oh your brother Anthony, he is in the room down the hall three doors to your right. He may be sleeping but feel free to visit him. Elexa not saying any thing more walked away towards her brother’s room. When Elexa reached his room she poked her head through the door. The doctor was right he was sleeping. Elexa walked into the room and sat in a chair that was next to the bed. She looked at her Brother carefully, and noticed a big purple colored bruise covering his eye and part of his face. She then realized that she had not yet been told how this tragedy happened. Elexa was pulled out of her thoughts when a man walked into the room. She noticed he was wearing a nametag. It read, Dr. Johnson. The doctor walked over to Elexa. "Hello I am Doctor Johnson. The man said and held out his left hand. Elexa took his hand and shook it. "You must be Elexa, Anthony's sister." The doctor said with a slight smile. "Yes." Elexa said and turned to look at her brother. "Well I am the doctor that took the X-rays of your brother and I am here with the results." The man said with a calm and gentle voice. "I, is he going to be ok?" Elexa asked with tears forming in her eyes, holding her hands tightly in her lap. "Yes, the tests show no damage but he should take it easy for a while just to be safe." The doctor said in a reassuring voice. Just then another man walked in. Elexa new who this was. A man in a blue uniform stood in the doorway. "Excuse me, but may I talk to Elexa Taylor? I need to ask her a few questions. The man said with his hat in his hand. It was one of the police officers that were at her house the night she got the news. Elexa stood up and walked out of the room. The police officer followed right behind her. "I am sorry to bother you but is there someone you and your brother can stay with?" Elexa looked up at the police officer that was standing before her. "I, I'm not sure." She said then turned and looked at the wall. "I see. Do you know if your father had a will or not?" The tall police officer asked in a low voice. ""I don’t know." She said, starting to have tears form in her eyes. "Ok then I will find out for you. You just stay with your brother and everything will be settled for you. Ok?" The man said. Elexa, trying to stop the tears managed a thank you. The man bowed his head and walked away. "Wait sir!" Elexa shouted. "Yes miss." The man stopped and turned around. "No, no one told me what happened to my brother and, and my father." She said while looking at the tiled floor of the hospital. "Oh yes, Uh hmm. Well your father and your brother were on their way from the Lumber Yard when a drunk driver came into the wrong lane; hit your father’s truck on the driver’s side.” The man said while softening his voice. Elexa got up and walked away not saying anything else. Elexa went to her brother’s room. The door creaked a bit while she opened it. The doctor was still in the room. "Ah excuse me but how come my brother isn’t awake yet.” Elexa asked in a worried voice. "Oh he was up very late taking X-rays and tests to make sure every thing was ok." The doctor answered. He should wake up soon enough.” The doctor said while taking her brothers blood pressure. She watched the doctor carefully as he was checking her brother. The man was pretty tall. He had white hair but he didn’t look very old. “Do you know when we can leave the hospital?” Elexa asked. “Well it seems your brother is doing just fine and he should be up soon. So probably very soon. Oh and I do not think anyone has told him about your father. So you might want to break the news carefully. After all he’s been through a lot.” The doctor said. Elexa looked at the doctor hard with hurt and pain in her eyes. She didn’t want to be the one who had to tell her brother that their father died. She didn’t even want to believe it, that a drunk driver would kill someone so kind like her father. Her mother had only died a year ago and now her father. This was too much. She felt like she would never get over her mothers death and now she would have to get over both of her parents deaths. Elexa was pulled out of her thoughts when she noticed that her brother had finally awakened. “E, Elexa?” Her brother asked while rubbing his bruised eye with one hand. Elexa jumped up and gave her brother a hug. “I’m so glad your ok!” She said with tears rolling down her face. Her brother sat there puzzled and then gave his sister a hug back. “Elexa where’s dad?” Anthony looked at Elexa with wide eyes. “He, he is ok isn’t he? Elexa is he ok?” He asked starting to raise his voice. “Elexa answer me where is he, where’s dad?” He asked, now shouting. “He, He, He’s dead.” She said now crying hard into her brother’s shoulder. “What, No he can’t be, he can’t be dead.” He said clenching his fists tightly at his sides. Then with out warning he to was now crying. The two siblings hugged each other and promised one another that they would be all right and that they would get through this. That they would get through this together.

Chapter.1Part1/3 Together

Her leg was hurting as she walked slowly up the three flights of stairs. There was a bedroom with a window open at the top landing and a slight breeze ruffled the curtain. There was a burnt out bulb in the light that swung gently back wards and forwards, it was dark, but the moonlight shone on the top few steps coming from the room. She looked around the room that was there before her. It was her room. It was neither small nor large but she thought of it as a quaint little room. She walked into her bedroom and sat on the firm bed with the smooth fluffy comforter that her mother had given her before she passed away. She then again looked around the room deciding whether or not to go and get a bite to eat or go to bed. She pondered for a moment and decided that she should make some tea. As she made her way down the three flights of stairs she noticed that there was a loud commotion coming from the living room. But when she got to the living room she found only the TV blaring so she walked over and turned it off. She turned away and made her way towards the kitchen. When she got to the kitchen she reached for the teapot in the top wooden cupards. She pored some water into the teapot and waited for it to boil on the stove. She sat down at the table and then realized that her father was not home and neither was her brother. She quickly looked over at the fridge that was standing in the right hand corner of the kitchen and sure enough was a note from her father. She got up from were she was seated and took the note off of the fridge. It read, Dear Elexa, your brother Anthony and I went to the Lumber Yard to pick up some supplies for the shed. We will be back soon. Love Dad. She then placed the note onto the counter and walked over to the teakettle that was whistling like crazy. She took the Teakettle off of the hot element and pored the boiling hot water into a teacup. She put a tea bag into the teacup and let it sit for a while. After she was finished her tea she went up the flights of stairs and into her bedroom. She noticed it had gotten a little chilly so she closed the window and the curtain now remained still. She flicked the switch for the light to come on but then realized that she had not yet replaced the light bulb that had burnt out the other day. Elexa feeling exhausted decided not to worry about it until the morning. She changed into her flower cotton pajamas that she had gotten for her birthday. She liked her pajamas because they were cozy and kept her warm at night. Elexa flopped onto her bed and pulled the covers tight to her chest. Elexa looked over at the clock that stood on her nightstand. It was nearly 1:30am and she was starting to get worried. She new her father and brother Anthony had gone to the lumberyard, but they should have been back by now. All of a sudden the doorbell rang. Elexa jumped out of her bed, and stumbled in the darkness of her room, quickly ran down the flight of stairs and opened the door. Standing in the doorway was two policemen. “Hello Miss.” One of the police officers said. “Hello, how may I help you Officers?” She asked with a slight quiver in her voice. “May we come in?” the other police officer asked. “Y, yes.” Elexa led them into the house, worried about what they had to tell her. “Um maybe you should sit down.” The slim police officer said waving his hand toward the living room couch.
“No I’m fine were I am. What is it that you have to tell me?” She asked, her heart thumping faster and faster. “Um, well, Miss I hate to tell you this, and I am very sorry but your father Mr. John. A. Taylor is dead.” The officer said while removing his hat. “And your brother Anthony Taylor Is in the Hospital with a severe concussion.” The other officer said, looking at her with sorry eyes. “Are you ok Miss?” the slim police officer asked making his way towards her
