Hello everyone! I'm Elizabeth. I have been a huge writer of this material for a long time manly making prompts however I wanted to take my wring to the next level and try something new, think of this as a pilot I want to try to make more of this but if it become too difficult I will probably drop it. it has taken a lot of hours just to make this but you aren't here for that let's get on to the material!
now since this isn't my unusual writing style I'm going to need to slowly build into it lets take a moment to introduce our cast of characters.
Elizabeth: sister Age 20, white skin, green eyes, wavy brown hair cut short, 5'3'', 150Lbs, 34C, average build, 2nd year at Community College.
Cassidy: sister Age 18, white skin, green eyes, long black hair, 5'6'', 185Lbs, 36D, not fit, on a gap year to do online learning
Grace: Mom age 52 (non important character will add more if the story demands it)
Roy: Brother age 25, white skin, green eyes, short brown hair, 6'4'', 210lbs, vary athletic build, forth year of University
now with that out of the way how about a synopsis of the story!!
synopsis: after the death of her husband a lost Grace struggles to regain control of her life with her three kids, who all still live at home doing some form of Education. no longer know what is right in the world she makes a decision that would change her family forever.
one more thing before you get into it I want to do this in first person with the perspective switching between our characters as the story calls for it!
OKAY ONTO THE STORY!
Pov: Elizabeth the four of us return to our house all dressed in black urn in hand. Roy closes the door behind as we enter into the kitchen and sit down, my sister sitting next to me both of us wearing identical sleeveless dresses completely black. our mother sits at the head of the table nobody dares to speak the emotional weight of the room setting in as our brother sets the urn down on the fireplace mantel and joins us Roy says
"well that seems to be the last of funeral events now what do we do" I quickly interrupt him "Roy read the room".
he swiftly shuts his mouth as our attention turns to our mother who clears her throat "well it's no surprise that I have to return to work in 3 days however I can't return to the office Elizabeth." she says bluntly at me
"I'm going to be working from home and starting now, I need some semblance of control in my life again. I'm converting your room back into an office so I can continue to support our family you are an adult now all of you are"
this being the first time mom has spoken in days that hasn't been crying and inaudible words I nod my head
"sure no problem"
Roy begins to crack up both Cassidy and I kick him in the shin from under the table he flinches and pain before he can say anything mom speaks up
"Roy to encourage you and your sister to move out she will be moving in with you. Grace on the other hand still hasn't decided on what she wants to do with her life and I need to support her. You guys have a vision and need to learn Life on your own I will still be there for you as your mother but we need to start setting these boundaries so the two of you can be successful I expect this Arrangement not to last long.
she says as she starts to choke up at her Brash decision, tear starting to form in her eyes as Roy again opens his mouth
"Mom you cant be serious I'm in the most important part of university you're being so"
in unison my sister and I slap him across the face prevent him from saying anything stupid as i yell
"are you an idiot or something don't you see this is hard for her shut your mouth and go to our room how about you start making some space and do what she says for once can't you see she's in pain"
just as I finish a sentence mom begins to break out crying again whispering her sorrys to herself over and over again. Cassidy stands and quickly Comforts our mother Roy feeling embarrassed walks off to our room Cassidy mouth something to me as she takes mom to her room to comfort her.
I don't even try to make out what my sister said to me as I put my head down and start to tear up myself, I whisper.
"talk about Changing Times"
after about an hour I get up from the kitchen table and go to my own room for one of the last times. I reach my arms around behind my back and undo the zipper for my dress I let it fall to the floor and quickly unhook my bra Throwing It All into the darks section of my dirty clothes bin. I breath a sigh of relief as I open my dresser and throw on a White Nike sports bra with some long red checkered sweatpants and I top it off with a long black T-shirt.
I walked out of my room, going down the hall to what will soon become our room i knock on the door after some shuffling around Roy calls out
"what's up"
feeling a little nervous I say "May I enter "
in a very bold tone he says not "like I have a choice anymore"
feeling pissed off I do my best to contain myself and open the door to Roy laying down on his bench press in the cent of the room in shorts and a T shirt
"okay I'm going to make this quick you are going to comply with everything mom said she is in pain and is trying to deal with the loss of her husband it might only be temporary who knows but until then we do as she says when she says it don't be you"
I say trying to assert my dominance to him. Roy stands up and walks close to me his height towering over me as he looks down I start to feel intimidated as he speaks
"Elizabeth I'm not going to fight you on this I get it my behavior was bad I don't know how to deal with this either but just because I'm being sympathetic doesn't mean I want to roommate with a girl so just try not to get in my way"
I roll my eyes at him "glad we can mutually coexist for the benefit of everybody we start moving in the morning"
END OF CHAPTER NOTES
thank you everybody who took their time to read this I have a lot of it already written up however I just want to release it in smaller chucks so I don't run out of material. the next chapter we'll have a lot more risque moments as our characters learn to navigate this new household dynamic!.
