Shadow of Secrets

Bethany's POV “Were leaving!” I grabbed my phone off the brown box in my room on the floor into my back pocket of my shorts.“I'm coming!” I yelled back at my Mom downstairs picking up the box in my arms walking out my room closing the door going down the stairs carefully in my heels trying not to fall. When I was about to go out the door my mom came out from the kitchen and I turned handing her my box full of pictures. I sighed taking a deep breath in and letting it out through my nose running my hand through my hair. Getting inside the U-Haul truck my phone buzzed when I sat down. I picked up without looking who it was and my Uncle turned the truck on. “Hello?” I heard laughing and it sounded just like Peyton's.“I know it's you Peyton.” I laughed watching my mom get in the truck next to me.“Oh Hey Beth,Sorry I think I butt dialed you.” my mom put a sandwich up to my face and I swatted her hand away from me.“know your making me think you don't really care if I'm leaving.” I said seriously staring out the front window watching all the buildings pass by us. “I'm Sorry,I wasn't gonna call you till later because I'm going over to Josh's house.” my mouth opened agape and I was wide eyed.“why are you going to his house Peyton?” The phone muffled and it hung up.“Oh my gosh.” my Mom looked at me gasping down at my phone that said call ended.“what's wrong?” I huffed at her.~“well, I love you Beth.” I nodded at my Mom and hugged her tight in my arms not wanting to let go but she had to.“ill see you on Thanksgiving and dont forget to tell your dad your friends are welcome,OK?” I smiled nodding at her take her bags and walk with the rest of the crowd loading a plane to Brazil.“I promise,and have fun in Brazil!” My Uncle came beside me.“don't worry she'll be OK.” I smiled looking up at him.“let's go or we'll miss our flight to London.”he took the heavy luggage and iI took the light stuff and we sat down waiting in the airport till they called our flight. It took about half an hour but I was just fine because I had my phone with me. Once I stepped on the plane I was already feeling sick and claustrophobic sitting near so many people.~ “Oops.” I felt like we hit something but I opened my eyes inside the U-Haul truck.“what happened?” I yawned and my Uncle parked the truck and got out leaving me inside. I got out also looking at the huge two story house in beige brick with Chocolate roofing and a perfect chocolate door with a reef made out of twigs on the outside.“Beth!” my dad opened the door and ran out the house hugging me lifting me off my two feet. “It's been forever hasn't it?” I nodded and he put me down.“c'mon Beth I can't wait for you to see your room.” he went inside leaving the door wide open and I asked my Uncle if he needed help unloading my things but he didn't mind. The living room was huge with a 80" TV and mini bar area and there were small shot glasses lined up in a straight line going across the glass counter. There was also a couch that was the shape of a circle made out of leather and a throw back blanket over it in fur.“dad.” I called his name walking around the living room admiring everything that was there.“Yeah honey?” I saw him open the small fridge full of vodka and alcohol pouring some clear yellow liquid in some glasses with 2 cubes of ice. “How did you get this mansion?” I laughed and he smiled ringing a shiny silver bell on the counter sliding the drinks forward while I sat at a stool in front of the counter taking the glass in my hands watching him drink his with a towel over his shoulder.“sweetie it's called working hard for what you want.” I swirled the strong smelling liquid around staring down at it with a sour face.“before I forget come and see your room.” I hopped down from my seat and followed my dad into my room.“tada!” I jumped up and down wrapping my arms over my dad's neck hugging him.“Thank you Thank you Thank you dad!” He laughed in the crook of my neck.“do you like it?” he asked letting go of me looking down at me.“do I like it?” he nodded.“I love it!” he jumped at the sound of stuff breaking at the front door leaning outside my door peaking down the hallway.“ill be right back honey.” I fell on my bed flipping over with my head hanging off the edge with my phone in my hands texting Josh.“how's dad?” I smirked thinking about Peyton going over to Josh's house.“great Hey why is Peyton at your house? :(” “She has a crush on my friend that's sleeping over Beth!” I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand.“I'm Sorry Josh it's just that I miss you lots.” I sighed.“I miss you more but don't worry ill be there tomorrow morning pinkie promise OK sis?” I held my phone into my chest imagining that I was hugging my brother instead of my phone.“I love you.” I kissed the screen just hoping he would text me back unlike last time he said he doesn't like when I tell him I love him cause I'm his sister.“love you to Beth go to bed and get some rest.” I got all excited inside“OK nite big bro give Peyton a hug for me.” I waited for one last text.“I will goodnight my khola.”~ “lights out sweet heart.” my dad kissed my cheek turning the lights off in my new room full of polka dots and glitter.“goodnight daddy.” he smiled at me closing the door and I lied down on my pillow listening to his footsteps get farther away. My eyes shut and I fell asleep concentrating on the silence.
