Not my Home
Chapter 1
I clutch my siblings' hands as we walk towards the baggage claim. "Riri when am I gonna see mommy again?" I try not to look Sarah in the eyes as I say, "not for a while Sarah. We're gonna stay with Aunty Clara for a while here in America okay?"
"But when can I see her? I wanna see Mommy!"
"Sarah can you please stop? I'm trying to think." She is silent. My head is filled with concern as I run my tongue over my straight teeth, glad that my mother spent money, money that we didn't have, to make sure I'm not another Irish stereotype. I should have known something was wrong when she would spend money we didn't have, or when I had to stop trying in school to keep our house running, or maybe when she would just ignore me for days at a time after Sarah and Brendan's dad died.
"Their father died as a hero Irina." She would say to me every night while I made dinner. "A real hero. Firefighter, why did I fall in love with him? He was nicer than your dad was Irina. I mean their dad wouldn't beat us around right? They're such good kids, look at where they came from" I would just nod to hide the hurt she was causing.
I see a familiar person in all black running towards us. "Oh Irene! How are you three? I'm so sorry you had to stay with your neighbors but Jessi was in the hospital and we just couldn't-"
"It's Rina." I interupt. "My name, it's Rina or they call me Riri and mom called me Irina. No one calls me Irene"
"Of course I'm so sorry! Let's go to the car okay? Some of your stuff is there already. But you can borrow Jessi's clothes for school tomorrow. Everyone will be kind I promise. I spoke to that principal and if anything happens there- well it won't." I don't respond as I lead my siblings to the car.
"Oh Rina, Jessi used her birthday money to buy you this." She hands me a white iPhone in a pink case. This was something Mum wouldn't even bother trying to buy.
"Thanks Clara."
"You should thank Jessi, not me."
"Why was she in the hospital anyway?"
"Oh well she has epilepsy and well that's when we found out. She had a seizure and it was just so scary for all of us. She's so excited to see you. It's been too long. Five years? She says she only remembers your accent. Oh she was fascinated by it when she was younger."
"Great a freak with a weird accent will only be friends with the freak who vibrates." I mutter.
"What Dear?"
"Nothing. I'm tired I'm going to take a short rest okay?"
"Of course. And Rina, I'm so sorry you had to find Terri-your mother. I can't believe my sister could hang herself." Her voice cracks. "I'm sorry. Just go to bed okay?"

Not my Home
Chapter 2
"Hey Irine! I got your text are you sure you don't want to come home with us? I mean no offense to them but-"
"Jess shut up. They're better company than you. Tell Clara and Jeff that I'll be home whenever. Okay?" She looks hurt and walks away.
Van motions for me to come sit down with her. "How are you planning on living with her?"
"I dunno. So what exactly is happening at your house today?"
"Well you can't wear that. Just come straight over and I'll let you borrow something okay?"
"I understand you want me to show some skin, but this is underwear not shorts." I hold up the denim 'shorts' before her.
"Trust me I just went shopping and you will not be wearing that type of underwear anymore." She tosses me a thong and I laugh. She just points to a plastic shopping bag. "And try this tube top. Luca's gonna love you in maroon."
I roll my eyes. "Um how am I getting home by the way? Or should I just stay here?"
"You do not want to come home smelling like booze. Text saying I'm helping you catch up with work. That's the doorbell! Don't worry you look hot!"
"It's official. I'm moving to Ireland" announces Luca. "I'm gonna get something to drink you want?" I hesitate.
"Nah I'll just have some of your's" He laughs. I check my phone.
'Jessi can help you with that. I'll be there in fifteen minutes.' I check the time it was sent.
"Crap you guys! Clara's gonna be here in like 2 minutes" Everyone looks shocked. "Jess is a little rat." Van laughs.
"We'll make her pay. Don't worry."
"Hey Luca so Irish blow jobs are good?" says a guy.
"Hell yeah!" I blush.
The door slams open. "Is that alcohol young man?" Clara looks furious at Luca. I feel ready to die.
"Calm down. If parents don't mind then it doesn't matter and we're all sharing like a total of three." Van is calm.
"What is your name? I'm calling your parents to let them know"
"Sorry but we're not telling you. Bye old lady." Everyone laughs after a girl says that. I shamefully follow Clara out the door.
"Jeff they were drinking! It's her first day what will people think?" Clara and Jeff are whispering, but I can hear them.
"Clare she's my sister's daughter! You don't know what she's going through."
"Her father offered to take her in. He's been through treatment."
"How can you even think that? You want to send our neice to the man who beat her mother, my sister, and her?"
"Honestly your sister was crazy we don't know what was true that she said."
"Clara if you love me, you'll never say that again. I trust what she said and I always will."
"Fine but you don't know how rude she was to me. Jessica said she was bullying her and siding with those girls."
I cry as I open my computer and start out an email.
Dear Dad,
They don't want me here at all...

We met in kindergarten. We were best friends.
She always told me she loved my eyes. I didn't quite know why.
I was in love with her, so of course my face lit up immensely whenever she said it.
She was beautiful, kind, and extremely funny.
We'd be talking about nothing, and she'd turn to me and whisper,
"I like your eyes."
One day, I was playing basketball,
waiting for her to drive over to my house to have a game with me.
Suddenly, I got a phone call.
It was her mom. She was in a panic.
I couldn't quite understand what she was saying. It sounded like,
"Aaron, come quick! Kelsey, accident, Main Street! Blood. Come now!"
I had no clue what happened,
so I ran to Main Street with my basketball shorts and a tee shirt on.
I saw Kelsey's mom helplessly crying, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
I saw a totaled car, blood everywhere.
Then I saw her, Kelsey.
My heart stopped as I frantically ran over to her.
"Kelsey? Kelsey!" She was unconscious. I started crying.
I know it isn't very manly, but I couldn't help it.
Before I could say anymore, the medics took her away,
the main source of blood coming from her head.
I went to the hospital that night,
I went every night.
in fact, the only time I left was to go out to eat, but that's it.
The doctors tried getting me to leave, but I refused.
It was all my fault.
If it wasn't for me, wanting to play basketball with her,
she wouldn't be going through this.
It was already four days, and she hasn't woken up.
On the fifth day, I saw her eyes gently open.
"Kelsey?" I called.
She wasn't quite awake yet.
Suddenly, doctors came rushing in, telling me I had to wait outside.
I did, for a few hours.
One of the doctors finally came out saying,
"I understand that you're Kelsey's friend, Aaron?"
"Yes," I whispered.
He bit his lip.
"She woke up, she's fine,
but I'm afraid she has long term memory loss."
"Are you serious?" I almost shouted.
"I'm afraid so."
I didn't meet his gaze. I couldn't.
I wasn't going to say anything, so he spoke again.
"You can go see her if you want,
but she doesn't remember anything, not even her mom."
I walked in, trembling in horror.
I saw her. She looked helpless as she slept.
I waited a few hours, until I saw her eyes opening gently again.
I expected doctors to run in, rushing me out.
Instead, she looked me straight in the eyes, and whispered,
"I don't know you, but I like your eyes."
