I still didn't know what to do. I was at a crossroads in my life and I just wanted to go back. I was haunted by my past, but that was the only place that felt like home. Here, now, I was a stranger in society. I was worth nothing and would accomplish the same amount.
I was freezing cold in the car, though Aunt Tina seemed warm and comfy in the drivers seat. I stared out the window for the entire drive, though I don't know why. Here the view was the same. Trees, forests, rain. Nothing changed, it was green and blurry. Sometimes it was like the car wasn't even moving.
The drive seemed to take forever. From the airport to my new "home" was alone 4 hours. But with the rain and my aunt's slow driving it took 5. Every minute was torture, no every second. Every second that my mind wasn't occupied it went back to a few weeks ago. Life was perfect then, or at least to some amount. I didn't have a worry in the world. My friends were my family and they knew me inside and out. It's strange, how life can change in a matter of minutes.
My muscles relaxed a bit when we passes by the "Welcome to Eden Village" sign. Eden village was the smallest, most isolated place I have ever been. I'm surprised I was aloud to move here (they're not big on my type, goths, emos, punks, rockers, whatever you call them).
As we began passing houses, it seemed like perfect little America, only it never rained as much. Each house was the same type, there was a flower garden in the front, vegetable in the back. It made me want to gag. This is my life for the next year and a half. Shoot me now.
We finally got to Tina's house and I couldn't wait to get out of that car. I held on to the car as I made my way to the trunk, my feet were numb from the drive. Two suitcases and a backpack, the things from my old life. Was keeping my things suppose to make me feel better for leaving my friends without a goodbye.
I reached the front door and Tina was struggling with the keys. She looked up at me and smiled, like any minute a camera crew would jump out and say "Got Ya". It still rained and Tina was taking her time with the keys. The house had no porch so I was basically taking a shower without the soap.
Finally, Tina got the right key. She unlocked the door but wouldn't let me pass. Okay, now this is definitely a lame reality show.
"Nova, you have to talk to me sooner or later," Tina said as she blocked the door with her fat ass. So that's what this is about, getting me to talk. I have not said a word to anyone in the last two weeks, and keeping me in the rain was only getting me furious.
I tried to ram Tina to get through, but as I said before, her fat ass was in the way. If she wanted me to talk, she better be ready.
"GET YOUR FAT ASS OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!" I screamed at her. I hope the neighbors heard that. "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW. MOVE!" Tina was still in shock of what I screamed, and my throat stung with the words I yelled. Tina still dumb founded stepped to the side and I walked into the dry house.
The house just as cold as it was outside, but at least it was dry. I stepped in and I sneezed with all the dust around. The kitchen was to my left and it was filled with take out and fast food. The only thing store bought was a box of cereal bars. To my right was the living room, but it seemed more like a dying room. Everything was covered with an extra layer of dust, and it was all grey, black or white.
The house looked exactly like I expected, a house that homes a 47 year old single lady. Poor Tina, it's not even as though she's ugly. She looks like the lady next door that all the dads have fantasies about. The long blonde hair, flawless tan skin, and A booty that makes sir mix-a-lot's head spin. She's single because she's too picky.
I turned to see Tina waiting by the front door. She had closed the door but the rain still drummed at full speed. Her face was ful of relief, relief of what? Being out of the rain, that's the only reason I can think of. Or maybe she's just mental. My money is on the second.
"Why are you so happy?" I asked getting a little creped out when her relief turned into a scary clown smile. And to more of my surprise, she started laughing. And not just giggle giggle, long sigh, but it was a laughing riot.
"Oh, nothing," Tina just laughed some more, and it really was getting on my nerves. I wanted to shake her 'til she told me what in the world is so funny.

Short and simple, yet may have been complicated to others to understand.
As a reader, I saw an angry bottled up depressed person, yet with family who doesnt understand at the moment.
The details of ouside the car was beautiful, as a reader, keep sharing those details in short or long stories.
This was a great story to keep reading. Thank you
