DESERTED MANSION
PROLOGUE
He is the meanest person on planet Earth.
Why did he ruin me for other men?
Why did he make me fall in love with him?
Why did he even come into my life if he knew he was going to leave me?
If only I can rewind the hand of time, I will over and over again so I can see him, feel his touch, say I love you over and over again, hold onto him tightly and never let him out of my grasp.
I would have been selfish..............
oh! if only I knew.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN.
Freya
My life is pretty much the same ordinary life.
I am freya , 18 years come from a family of 5 , my parents i and my 2 brothers.
As an only girl, I have the much needed protection from my brother although sometimes they can be very overwhelming.
I attend a private high school, my parents always invested in quality education even if we are from the average family.
My 2 brothers are currently attending a private university.
My brothers Fred , flank are twins. Yes, you got that right our names start with the letter F.
My parents john jones and Juliana Jone must have an obsession with the same first letters ( wink)
Our neighborhood consists of the middle class and extremely rich.
Big magnificent houses surrounds the environment. Don't worry we don't live in any of them. Remember we are middle class lol
In our neighborhood there's one house that stands out due to it's structure, decor and mostly lack of living inhabitants there. The house is literally deserted.
No body has stayed there for 5 years. I know cause I was born and raised here and our town is a small town so gossips spread around.
The house is out of this world...... Well out of the world I know. I have never left Bisbee although I love it's simplicity, that at home feeling but I still crave to explore. to view the world. Only If wishes were horses.
The House has waterfalls magnificent structures. I know all this because it has a transparent gate. Although the house looks deserted it's always clean like literally sparkling. I guess the owners pay people to maintain it.
I know I know I just can't help falling for that once.
I wish I could go inside and really see what it looks like, feel like. Wish I could touch those structures. (sign)
As an art student I deeply appreciate anything art.
Stars please let my dream come true.
Weeks later
I had already packed my lunch pack” my parents command, I don't know if they think am still a little girl. I can sort my lunch out but let's allow peace to reign “
I stuffed my back with my textbooks, kissed my mom and dad Goodbye and headed out. I don't want to be late for school hence Mrs morris will talk my ears off.
A few blocks down I heard a sound.
“ truck horns” I quickly stepped out the way. The moving truck was moving to the deserted palace. Just the name I gave to it.
“Freya” my friend alex called rushing over to meet me, Ria and kiki following behind.
Alex, Ria and kiki are my best friends. We all attend the same high school and live in the same neighborhood.
We are all childhood friends, we grew up together.
Alex is a 5’6 blonde, with a slim figure. Her hazel eyes compliments her oval shaped face. She's very beautiful. Ria is a 5’6 brunette, she has brown eyes, creamy skin and a model like body. Slim but fit. Kiki is a brunette like Ria but has a natural steak of blonde mixed with her brown hair which makes her stand out. She's brown eyed and 1 inch taller than Alex and Ria at 5’7 .
Alex, kiki and I was born in the same month.it was as if our mother's all held a meeting and discussed our coming out to the world day. But we all met when we moved to this neighborhood.
“Hi beautiful ladies, “ I said smiling when they got close to me .
“Guess what hon” kiki squeeled
“What “ we all asked eager to know the new gist because kiki was the queen of gist, she's the gossip mill in our group. Literary nothing gets past her. She's our private journalist like we fondly call her .
“Are you guys aware a family is moving into the deserted mansion? “ she asked
“No, I just saw the moving truck not too long “ I said and the rest girls agreed neither of us were aware.
“And............ A new family is moving in, according to my research they just bought the house some weeks back from the original owner and they are moving in today” she said smiling
“ ok so what has that got to do with us “ we chorused .
“Common guys aren't you eager to make new friends “ she asked pouting like a cat eager for his milk.
“ kiki how are you so sure the new neighbors will have our age range child who will want to be our friend?” alex asked sarcastically.
“Well..........due to my insider source, I know they have an only son around our age “
When kiki makes mention of the word “my insider source” she's referring to her mom. Her mom is the queen of gossip she deserves a trophy. I find it fascinating how some of these rich people find other people's lives fascinating enough that they have time to know about them. Well her mom is very rich and social so she rolls with the big shots so maybe that's where she gets her top hand information from. If kiki mom wasn't an executive manager she would have perfectly fit the role of a journalist.
Kiki and Alex are cut from money while Ria and I are from the average side but it doesn't affect our relationship. Our parents are very good friends. Whenever they hang out you can't even differentiate their social status. Special bond they share indeed.
“Okay if you say so ki let's see how it turns out, can we head to school now remember we don't want to be late,” she said smiling.
“Okay fine but I won't rest until I get all the information I can get, about the new neighbors “ kiki kept on blabbering and almost talked our ears off till we got to school.
We walked down to school sometimes cause our school was not very far from our neighborhood but we mostly used Uber. We usually went by cars to school but we pleaded with our parents to let us go ourselves. They only allowed us because we were in our final year in high school
We are kind of diplomatic when dealing with kiki. She's been through a lot from her parent's constant fight while growing up. Most of her holidays were spent with us because of her parent's banter. her childhood was the messiest out of us all. She had seen her parents divorce a couple of times. Her parents mr jumil bank and Mrs brenda bank have been divorced and remarried 4 times .they would fight, divorce then reconcile and hold a small wedding again .that's what poor kiki had to go through growing up , I sometimes wonder if her parents had bipolar cause what normal parent would put their only child through that hell hole .
Kiki stopped chattering when we got to school. I held her shoulders and looked at her lips to check if they were slackened from talking that long but no her pouty beautiful lips were still intact.
Hand in hand we walked into our school smiling, what a perfect fit we are.
