Hales House

I stare out the window as I see the forest. It is a breathtaking sight, so quiet and beautiful. The raindrops fall perfectly in the windows, as they should be there to gather after they fall. I have always found it peaceful, the way they always seem to gather. I can see the driver looking at me in the rearview mirror of the car. I smile as we pass the Beacon Hills town sign. I have not been here in a while. I wonder if anyone remembers me.

I watch as we pass the Hales' house. "Pull over," I say, looking at the house. I get out of the car and tell the cab driver I'll be back. He just nods at me.

As I walk up to the Hales' house, I see that it's completely destroyed, like it burned down and it's just this abandoned house. I look around as the morning breeze from the woods makes me shiver. I walk through the house and watch it closely. I have the feeling that someone is looking over my shoulder. No one can live there, certainly not the Hales. I am walking back into the cabin when I hear the crack of a piece of broken wood.

I look back as soon as I hear the sound. I do not see anyone, so I just keep walking towards the cab. When I get there, I take one last look at the Hale house before telling the driver to keep going.

I finally reached the house where my family lived before we moved away. I pay for the cab before it leaves. I look at the house because I feel so many emotions, memories coming back as if they were buried deep in my mind. The house looks new, my family made sure someone took care of it. I still do not understand why they did not sell it after we left. I notice that it has been renovated. The house was gray before it was painted white, the entrance is adorned with beautiful roses and nicely decorated. The air is as clear as ever, and there is this wonderful new aura. I walk in my blue dress slowly slipping back in the morning breeze. I smile as I walk a little way into the entrance. Finally, I reach the door, my hand reaches out for the doorknob and the door opens.

I guess someone forgot to close the door, I go inside. I look at the white-painted walls as I walk through the living room, looking at each piece of furniture. There are these three big black sofas, an ensemble with a gray cushion. There's also a gray fluffy blanket hanging over the couch. Between the sofas is a table, in front of which is the television. I get the remote control while turning on the TV. The TV is still working, I walk through the living room and see the kitchen. I almost forgot how beautiful it is. There's this big table that looks like it's attached to the floor. With four black chairs that almost look like the ones in a bar. I smile at the sight.

I walk up the stairs as my fingers go through the walls. I walk into my room and it is still the same. It has dark walls and a bed twice as big. I giggle and jump into my bed like a little kid, God I missed this. My bed, this house, the garden and this town.
