White and Black
Chapter One: Stranger
We found her lying on the cold cement; Blood was rushing out from a wound in her head. It was gross but my mom, who is a doctor, just couldn’t help but stick her nose in someone else’s business. She asks the woman “What happened?” but then the woman just moaned showing us that she’s in so much pain. My other mom (Oh yeah I forgot to tell you… I have two moms… which means they’re both lesbians) ask the woman again and this time we got an answer; She said “Please I don’t want to go in a hospital! He’ll find me! He’ll kill me!! The look on her face sent chills down unto my spines. It contains a lot of emotions… Fear, Pain, Sadness dominating her eyes. I kind of felt it travel from her eyes to my skin but all I can do is sigh. Then, all of a sudden Dessy-mama told me to help her carry the woman in the car. “Are you insane Dessy-mama?! That woman is a COMPLETE stranger! And she sounds like she’s in trouble! Look at her wound! We don’t want to get involve in this!!! TRUST ME!!!”
Dessy-mama looked at me in the eyes and said in a commanding voice “Clover you better help me here NOW!” I looked at Mama Jess and she stared at me like she’s urging me to go ahead and help her. I sighed and have no choice but to obey my mama and helped her get the stranger inside the car.
********************
*Sigh* ‘I can’t believe this. After Dessy-mama treated this ‘stranger’ she told me that she’s going to be sleeping in MY room.’ Another sigh came out from me and I looked at the wounded girl beside me. ‘She may be pretty be I don’t like her for invading my family. Wait. Should I call it invading?’ *Sigh* ‘Who cares? All I know is I don’t want her here, inside my house and sleeping beside me in my bed! I looked at her again and this time I noticed her heart-shaped face. She also have a short hair that fits with the structure of her face. She also has a cute nose that looks a little tiny and those lips… Ah! Those lips are red and she doesn’t even have lipstick on. Wait, what on earth am I thinking?! I may have lesbians as parents BUT I know I’m straight!!’ Those were my last thought before I felt sleepy, with all those things that happened tonight, I may sleep a little longer tonight.

“Hey sis! I heard we have a guess,” said Jake(my brother) I looked at him angrily and he looked away. He knows I’m in a bad mood but he still continued teasing me. When I was about to give him a punch Mama Jess came in with our breakfast and we both stopped what we’re doing and sat down in front of the table. Mama Jess looks like she was about to say something to me when Dessy-mama came down from the stairs. “Isn’t it a nice morning today?” She said with a bright smile, I answered “Really? I didn’t sleep well last night so it’s not a nice morning for me.” I silently replied. She looked at me with sincerity in her eyes “Clover, I know you don’t like sleeping beside someone but we don’t have extra room for her. Of course I can’t let her sleep beside Jake because he’s a boy.” Argh..Why won’t you let her sleep in the floor but of course that only stayed inside my mind. Jake looks at me with pity and I got this urge to throw the pancake I’m eating right to his face! Mama Jess tole me, since it’s summer vacation, I will be in charge of the stranger upstairs. I felt like my jaws dropped and I thought to myself ‘ARGH…There goes a fun summer Clover!’ After finishing our breakfast, it was my turn on washing the plates. When I was about to collect the plates from the table, I heard footsteps coming down I thought it was only Jake but when I turned to look it was a stranger eyes that was looking back at me. Dark Brown eyes that looks so deep I feel like I’m going to drown in them and then she ended our eye contact and looks around the room. Then she suddenly blurted out, “Where am I?” I was impatient but I can’t do anything, I told her to sit on the chair and I’ll tell her what happened last night. She looks at my eyes again like she was thinking if she can trust me not to do something to her. When she finally took a sit, I told her where we saw her last night and what she’s doing inside our home. I gaze at those eyes while she was trying to process the information I told her. Then a question comes to my mind, “By the way, what’s your name?”
She looked and me and said “Vivian” When I ask her where she lives , I saw confusion in her eyes. She suddenly blurted out, “I don’t know. I don’t remember anything except my name.” I told myself ‘Great, now I have to take care of a stranger named Vivian and she has Amnesia!’
