Rick had just finished unpacking the last of the boxes which had come from their old home. He looked around at the small bedroom and compared it to his old room. It's a hell of a lot smaller, but I suppose we should be lucky to have it...The insurance money that we got managed to get us this little cottage...and we have enough money to last for a few years...so I guess it's OK.
Rick thought of how much had happened in three weeks..first his parents being killed in the car crash,then dealing with the courts so that he and his little sister could stay together..selling the old house and buying this little one bedroom cottage to save money...and now,what do we do? We've got the whole summer before sis has to go back to school, and I'll have to stay here with her.
Rick had just turned 17, and that was the only reason that he was allowed to be emancipated.Well, with no parents, it could hardly be called emancipation.
His sister was 13 ,and although she acted prim and proper in public, he suspected that he knew her true colors. She was a good kid, really, and he loved her dearly, but he suspected that there was more to her than she let on, even at her age.
He heard her in the kitchen, and, judging by the sound of it, she was putting pots and pans away. She's held up pretty well, he thought. She would cry occasionally, and he would hold her until she cried herself out.
She's growing up fast. He had been noticing that a lot lately.This morning she was wearing shorts and a midriff top, and there were many times when he found himself staring at her firm young body. She caught him staring at her butt once, but she merely gave him an innocent smile.
He looked at the twin beds that were in the room, and he wondered at how quickly life changed. Tonight would be the first night in their new home...and their old home, and life, would be in the past.
Rick called out "Hey, sis, come and help me move this dresser a bit! " He heard her padding down the hall...
