A New Start, chapter 2

Silence filled the room, eyes were out of there skulls. Roxi was having a little trouble with the words that were just said. She couldn't make them get in order. She always did have some difficulty's in math when her mom would try to explain something about a big some of something. But soon, Roxi came to understand that ninety thousand dollars was a very large mount of money. After a long time of silence Roxi spoke.

"Ni.. Ninety thousand do... Dollars?"

"Yes, thats right but I must tell u that..."

"Ninety thousand dollars"? Interrupted Roxi's mom.

"Yes, but I'm sorry to say that..."

"We have ninety thousand dollars!"

Roxi went running towards her mom, leaped up into the air and swung her around and around. Roxi could not believe it, she now has ninety thousand dollars because her father had just died. When she said those words in her head, she tried to make it sound more happy. 'My father just died and we have inherited ninety thousand dollars. ' It still didn't sound right.
At that moment, she felt a large lump get caught in her tight throat. Roxi let go of her mom and sat down on the couch. 'My father had just died, and I'm ready to replace him for money' thought Roxi.

"Um... Now," said the man. "There is one important thing you two must know about."

By the way he said that, Roxi's mom sat down next to her with a worried face on. Roxi dropped the thought in her head and sat up strait to be ready what he had to say.

"You will have to move out of this house, by tomorrow."

Roxi shot her self out of her spot.

"What?"

"I'm sorry but..."

"No. I'm not going, you can't make me!"

"Roxi, please..." Said her mom.

"NO! This isn't fair. I'm not moving, this is the only place I know, and where would we move to?"

"It says here that you two will be moving to... Oregon."

Roxi could not believe she was being told that she had to move somewhere that she has no idea about. This was her home, hers. Not anyone else's. Roxi ran up stairs to her room and slammed the door. She needed to be alone. Roxi sat on her bed for what felt like 5 hours until she finally went to sleep.
That night in Roxi's dream, she saw a man. Just a man and nothing else. She had never seen him before, but it felt like she was looking into the eyes of a long lost friend. In her dream all the did was look into each others eyes. But when she would smiled, he'd smiled; when she laughed, he laughed; when she stepped close, he would do the same. When they were close together, Roxi felt a sudden moment of safety. From her mom, the man, moving, and the rest of the world that would cause her harm. He leaned in a little and so did she. He opened his mouth and spoke.

"Hi." With that one word, Roxi shivered. For it sounded like his voice put them in a box of love.

"Hi" Roxi replied

He spoke again. "My name is... Roxi"

"What?"

"Roxi get up."

Roxi opened her eyes to find that there was no longer a man standing next to her, but only her mom.

"Roxi we have to leave now."

"What, where why are you whispering?"

"I'll tell you in the cab."

"The what!?"

"Shh... Hurry up, get dressed, and keep quiet."

Roxi still wasn't sure what she should do, but it was to early in the morning to argue. So she quickly did what her mother told her, ran down stairs and hoped into the cab that was out front waiting for her.

"Mom what is going on, where are we going, why are we sneaking out of our own house, who was that guy?"

Roxi was getting angry and wanted answers now.

"Roxi, I'm sorry but I have to tell you something."

"What?"

"That man last night he stayed the night and... And..."

"And what!? Tell me what is going on!?"

"I slept with him."
