CAT'S POV""
.. I opened my mouth when my mother told me that we were relocating.
Mom please, I don't want to go."" I said with tears in my eyes. I had a life there. Everything I cared about were there but my mother had her reasons to move anyway.
She wasn't even listening to what I was saying, she continued packing her bags together with mine.
Mom" " I shouted. She held up her hand and said”” it's not up for a debate we're leaving.
"" Like a joke we got on a bus and moved""
"" we arrived and went to our new house. It looked expensive and we weren't rich at that moment so I asked how she managed to afford such a beautiful house in a short notice.
"
She looked at me without answering she went inside and I followed, you all probably be wondering where my father was.
"
Well the truth is I never knew him. My mother said he's dead but never took me to his grave. It's weird I know but whatever happened between them I still wanna know who my father was.
We went inside and I loved the living room but still I wanted to know how and why we came to California.
"
Take your bag inside, choose any room you want. They're three bedrooms"" she said
"
"" I took my bag inside without looking at the rooms I went straight to the first one I saw.
"" I set my bag down then I slowly sat on the bed, hmm that feels comfortable.
"
After the long journey I was tired so I slept off.....
"" the next morning I woke up and I went to the living room, there I met my mother with someone else. I was too late to hear what they were saying""
Hey good morning"" she happily said
Good morning” I replied
"
This is my daughter Catherine, Catherine meet Mrs Williams our landlady ""she introduced
"
You have a very beautiful daughter Mrs....
"
Call me Sarah, and thank you.
”
Alright Sarah I'll be taking my leave now. I'll see you soon
"
Thank you so much for everything.
"
No problem.
"
After she was gone I used the opportunity to ask questions, I thought I would""
"
So...
"
Not now Catherine, there's food in the pot, am going out and I won't be home till evening. Don't leave the house, we have a lot to talk about."" She cut me off.
"
Of course we do mom and I'll be very happy to listen"" with that I left angrily back to my bedroom.
