The Power Within: A Rose Full Of Emotions

22. The Guardians from Hell

❤️Ambers First Person POV❤️
As Andi falls, my mom grabs my arm. I try to flee but her grip doesn't budge. I hate my mother, with everything in me. But I can't fight her. I never won with her, so I just...stopped fighting.

I let people think I was the push over in school and a nerd because that's who I wanted to be. When I stayed in Lizzy's shadow, I wanted to be there so I would not get hurt in the end. But....you see how that turned out. Ever since Lizzy...passed, I did the only thing I knew how to keep from getting hurt. I shut the world out almost completely.

Everything happened so fast I didn't even get a chance to check on anybody before my mom opened the car door and basically shoved me in the passenger side.

As we drove away, I showed no emotion towards my mother. That's what she wanted. She wanted me to flee so she could call my dad when he gets out of prison today. She knew he was getting out today and so she came for me. But I know her way of thinking.

Lizzy had it too. But Lizzy would usually tell me her plans unless they involved me. Don't get it twisted. Lizzy was the best sister I could have when her friends weren't around or when she was in school. But once the first bell rang, she would act like she didn't know me.

I often had little fantasies where me and her would be strolling down the halls, side by side, looking like the queens we should have been but...my dreams were never meant to come true.

Even though she didn't treat me well all the time. I still miss her. As I roll down my window I see her face in the mirror like she's in the backseat. But she's not her. She's blind, her hair all ratted up, blood dripping from her mouth as she smiles at me.

I got so freaked out I covered my mouth and gasped loudly at the horrific image I had seen. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Why can't you be more like your sister!?" My mom said, glaring at me and turning her head back to the road as we pulled into our driveway.

As I got out, all I wanted was my friends to drive down the road and come save me from this crazy ass woman.

But I know that's not gonna happen because they have bigger things to worry about. I hope everyone's okay. Especially Andi and Mary.

As I look up to the windows of my mother's fancy house, I see my big brother looking straight at me. His glare gives me chills all throughout my body. He scares me. Worse than my dad.

My dad and my brother, Adam, have the same thinking process. Me and Lizzy always had to keep quiet about what Adam and dad did to us but I think you already know. The Mayfield's didn't know Adam but they've heard about the things he used to do to Lizzy and me when mom wasn't home.

She didn't do anything while she was there so I didn't really get the point of waiting until she left but guess he felt better about using his sisters in a sexual way. It made him feel better about himself.

My dad did the same thing. My brother had to learn it from somewhere. Its bad enough my dad did the things he did but my brother is a whole other level.

10 years ago from today, my dad went to jail and my brother fled so he wouldn't get caught but I always knew he was there. Watching me and Lizzy.

He's a fucking creep. As I walk into the house and up to my room, I quickly run past his room to get to mine. I close my door quickly and run to my bathroom.

As I close my door, the emotions I didn't show flood my entire body and all I wanted to do was scream. I should have just screamed when I was with Jake in those woods. I should have let out everything right there.

I wish he was here. I wish they were all here. I feel way safer with them then I do with my family. I really wish Jake was here though. He would cure everything. Even when we didn't really talk to each other back then, I know he would have done something to help me.
