Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 1:MEMORIES

LISA P.O.V

""Lisa,you should always focus in most situations,you need to fight with your mind and not your fist,do you understand ""I heard dad's voice scolding me...

""Dad!!""I mumbled and flickered my eyes open,the first thing that came to sight is my hands that is cuffed,I sighed softly and looked to my left and right,still acting unconscious...

I am sitting in between two police officers,I cranked my head a little to the front of the truck and saw two police,one was driving the police van and the other seems to be dozing off....

from the look of things,they were probably sending me to jail""Lisa always remember to think well before making any move,don't make haste decisions because you are scared""Dad's words rang in my ear again,and I smiled,I could picture him with a straight face giving me instructions...

 I smirked as an idea suddenly popped up in my head,i could use my unconsciousness as an advantage to get the keys for this cuffs.I thought and smiled again praising my brain cells for a wonderful idea..

I opened my eyes and looked at the police officer on my right and saw the keys to the cuffs on his belt holder...

I smiled and groaned, throwing my body to him still acting unconscious,my dad thought me how to use any situation I'm in to my own advantage....

I kept throwing my body at him,while pretending to be unconscious,the police officer leaned closer to steady me,and I used that opportunity to grab the keys and also steady myself...

slowly and quietly,I uncuffed myself while still acting unconscious,I smirked ""let the game begin""I mumbled and finally looked up....

""you all are probably wondering how I got myself into this shit hole,well it all started here""...

*********A MONTH AGO********

""Lisa,why can't you be happy for me for once in your life""my mum said.....

""Mum,how do you expect me to be happy for you,when your getting married to a total stranger that you met a few weeks ago,that claims that he loves you""I yelled out of anger.....

""watch your tone young lady,he loves me and he is not a total stranger,he is your new father and you will follow me to his house,cause that's where we will be staying from today,and if you won't go with me,then that's fine,you can go ahead and get a job, because the rent for this place has expired""Mum said and went into her room,she probably went to pack her things.....

I sighed and ruffled my hair,my mum is so unbelievable,it hasn't been up to two months dad died,and she has already moved on,she is even ready to get married to someone she just met a few weeks ago.....

I sat on the couch and picked up my phone,i dailed my best friend's number and she answered after two rings....

""Hey girl,wassup""she said in her usual cheerful tone....

Mira has been my best friend since I was 10,she has been there for me in my most worst and miserable days,she was the one that consoled me when my dad died,my mum couldn't care less.....

""I'm not fine Mira,nothing is fine and alright""I said with a groggy voice...

""Hmmm!!!,what's wrong lis,I have never heard you sound like this""she said in a worried tone.....

""can you believe my mum is getting married,and we have to move in with this new husband of hers,I hate myself for being a minor""I said with a frustrated voice...

Yes I do hate myself for being a minor,if I was up to 18,I would have gotten a job and be able to take care of myself,and the rent,and not live off my mum....

""Wow,so your getting a new dad ,being a minor is not all that bad,at least you wouldn't have to worry about rent and all other stuffs teenagers have to think about,just go to school,get good grades,eat,bath,watch t.v,and browse through internet""Mira said sounding less damned concerned...

I wondered what she was blabbering about,I wouldn't blame her though,Mira's parents are rich and they are super caring,when my dad was alive everything was perfect,even though mum never cared for me,dad always gave me everything I wanted,but now that he's gone,I have to start thinking like a teenager....

""I'll be damned if I call that man my dad,fuck this country rules,how is it possible that a minor can go to jail,but can't get a job""I said with anger evident in my voice....

""now that's one more thing to add to our list of being a minor, staying out of trouble""Mira said and giggled....

I sighed""I just wish that dad was here right now, everything would have been so much easier and I won't have to worry about anything""....

""You know,my doors are always open to welcome you in lis, there's always room for one more,and my parents will be over excited to hear that your coming to stay with us,they might even adopt you as their daughter""Mira said...

""Thanks love,but you know I have to stay with my mum,I still don't trust this stranger,and besides I don't want to be a burden to anybody""I said....

""I understand girlfriend,but if it ever gets too hard,you know where to find me""she said with her cheerful tone....

""Alright Mira,thanks a lot,I'll speak to you later,I need to pack my things"I said and ended the call....

***********************

it's been exactly three weeks after my mum's wedding with Diego,her new husband and my step dad,and I've been living with them since then....

something about this man seems to be off and I'm yet to find out,I've searched everywhere in this house,but only two places seems to be not accessable....

There is a particular room in that house that is locked and I must find out what he's hiding in that room....

I've already mapped out a plan to get the key for that room,and today I'm going to find out what he's hiding in there.....

There's a particular place in his room that needs a passcode to open it,it's some sort of drawer,but it can't open without a passcode....

I've noticed that he always carries a little journal with wherever he goes,he never lets go of that journal,and I'm suspecting that the passcode must be written In that journal....

so my first mission today is to get that journal,and how are my going to do that,Dad always says that a person's favorite food can kill him...

so I'm planning to bake,Diego loves fresh homemade orange juice with cookies...

""I have to play nice daughter today""I muttered to myself and started working....

one of my skills is that I'm a very good baker.....
