Old town


Seeing the waves of ocean taking away the sand on the shore leaving beautiful trails behind ,a breathtaking sunset and the air striking my hairs this feeling is just another level of peace.This view has a special place in my heart but now that I have to leave this city and go miles away from here just thinking about it is breaking my heart. My dad gave his best to provide us good education all the things that we wanted in our life and now one of his biggest dream of buying a home is coming true.We were living on rent for 10 years and now my dad bought a house in california.He gave his every single penny to buy that house and I am happy for him to be honest I am happy for all of us because now we will have our own house which we can call our home. My mom isn,t as happy as my dad because she wanted me to graduate first and get independent as my elder brother Jacob  he is 5 years elder to me is I also have two younger sister Marie and Tyla they both are chaotic just as every naughty kid is,Marie is 2 years younger to me and tyla is 5 years younger and I am 19 years old so you can now guess each of our ages. My parents named me Jennifer but mostly my friends call me jenny.I like my name though because it's after my favorite actress jennifer lawrence I am her big fan so I in fact I love my name My mom is named after her grandma Nora and my father has his own unique name Tyler,They both fell in love when they were in school and then my dad managed to get his marriage successful he is a real hardworking man to be honest he is my inspiration to keep going in a lot of things.I have limited friends all of them are good at their work and so somehow i am going to miss spending time with them ,I am going to miss a lot of things about this place.Its already 7 now I should head back to home.

At home

Nora:"Where have you been?"

Jenny:"Just on the shore watching the last sunset before leaving".

Nora :"Aww honey ,we all are going to miss this place".she said hugging me with sad voice.

Jenny:"Yeah mom".

Nora:"But don,t worry we will come her on your vacations."

Jenny:"Okay mom, we,ll see that".

Marie:"Mom when are we leaving?".

Jenny:"Tomorrow morning".

Tyla:"But I haven,t said goodbye to my friends yet,mommy".she said in a sad tone.

Tyler:"Its okay honey ,we will go by 10 in morning you can meet your friends by then".

Tyla:"I love you dad "she said hugging him.

Nora:" jacob isn,t home yet ,you should call him "she asked dad.

Tyler:" Okay I will".

By then we heard a knock on the door it was jacob standing fully drunk, his shirt was filled with puke and he was smelling so terrible. Dad took him to his room ,I know he is going to get a good scold tomorrow morning before leaving from mom and dad.Anyways I was hungry I went to dining had some fresh beans and a bowl of chicken soup,mom and me were zoned out while eating I was in the thought that this is our last dinner here which is bringing tears in my eyes but whatever happens ,happens for good and I should just move in with this feeling and should be more focused in feeling happy for each of us as now we are going to spend our next night in our home.

Morning...

Dad was getting the car out of the garage ,everything was packed  up we are all set to go to our new house even though we all have a feeling of sadness in our hearts as we are leaving this place but somewhere we are also happy that we are now finally going to our house our new home.While travelling through the way I was asleep halfway I don,t even know when we reached our destination,it was really quick.

I opened the car door ,the first look of the house was just as same as I saw on the photo, A white house with corridor running on all the four sides of the house.The front door of the house opens to a living room with a fireplace that warms the room in cold nights. To summon the beauty of the house I would say it is a house,it had a big kitchen,5 room on the ground floor and 5 rooms on the first floor with a basement and balconies a screened in front porch the kind in which most american kids dream of growing up.I chose the room on the first floor next to the store room as my personal room it had a balcony and a big window adjacent to balcony.

Nora:"Did you like the house?"she asked.

Jenny:"I like it mom".I said with a smile.

Then she left me with all the cartons in my room so that I can adjust everything according to my way and decorate it.I went to the balcony it has a beautiful view ,you can see a pond from my balcony but and trees covering it.While watching the pond I saw a dead bird next to it I don,t know if its a crow or a pigeon but its dead for sure because its been five minutes and it hasn,t moved at all ,its lying on its back mouth open and feathers scattered around her well I,ll have to bury it because it doesn't seem nice when you look at it so I thought to give her a burial.

I went downstairs to see the bird ,the view outside my house is pretty beautiful so I just got distracted while going down the stairs and I fell on my knees from the last third stair.Jacob helped me standing up but fortunately I got no injury it was just a little bit of scratch on my knees and elbows,I stood up and went outside but what I saw was pretty disturbing as there was no bird I searched for it everywhere but I could not find it because I was very sure it was dead because it was not moving at all her wings were wide open and feathers were scattered around but I couldn't, see it but when I turned around to see my balcony is when I knew that there is something wrong with this place because the bird which was not moving at all is now sitting on my balcony railing.
