A lonely little girl

//chapter two//:|coming home|

Since it was the first day we just went to classes and we're introduced to our new teachers.  Then we ate and had study hall.

God I hate study hall.

Well now I do anyway, I was sitting down in the hallway, no one was around, it was good cause I wanted a quite place. But I was just minding my business studying ahead for future classes and that boy from homeroom had come up to me.

What do I do?

He's just staring at me, do I say something? Before I could really think logically he kicked me in the gut.
I couldn't think, I couldn't speak. All I felt was a jolt of pain in my abdomen. I held my stomach tightly from the pain. It brought back a memory I wished was gone from my subconscious.

"Papa?"

"Yes?" He sighed.

"Where's mama?"

"Why? So you can bother her with the fact that her only daughter is a demon?? Troublesome little girl." The sound of venom in his voice.

"B-but I'm not a demon papa-"

Before I could finish my sentence he had kicked me, so hard that my back landed against the wall.

"Don't EVER, talk back to me again. Got it?"

"Yes p-papa.."

Even though I am used to such pain now, I didn't think that memory would be triggered by this boy. It's been a while since then..

I just looked up at the boy and smiled.

He looked at me in disgust and started to speak.

"What's wrong with you?!?!? Are you diranged?? So stupid.."

I spoke softly not wanting to upset my stomach more.

"No.. I was simply told not to cause trouble and treat people with the same respect I want to be given."

I had to remember the rules I was given by my parents. I can't cause trouble here. It may get me killed.

"So please let me get to my next class, I mustn't be late" I wanted to try the voice mother used one more time.

It was soothing. It may not be to most the way she talked to me, but it was soothing to here in general when she talks to papa.

"Tch." He had huffed and walked away. I waved a little, not for him to see but just to give some respect. At least my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. And I continued to my other classes.

I walked home, mostly because it gave me time to think about what had happened today. I had already taken the bandage off of me head caused it had healed and didn't hurt. I finally had gotten home and unlocked the door and stepped inside.

Mother was at the table and my little brother was sitting on the floor with some of my old toys. When he saw me he looked up in awe and walked towards me, he was only one so there wasn't much he could do but walk. And say 'mama' and 'sissy' papa is never around much for him to say papa yet.

"Hey, Amare"

"Greetings mother" mama was a little nicer when papa isn't around but still a little cold.

The name Amare was given to me because of my eyes. They're pink and it is mostly associated with love, so in Latin Amare means love.

"Dinners in the chiller, just heat it up on the stove and wash your dishes after."

"Yes ma'am"

I pat lux on the head and go cook my dinner.

Lux name means light in Latin. He got his name for being the light of my parents life. I have nothing against my brother for his name though. It's not like he chose that himself.

I wash up lux and put him to bed with his teddy named strey. And I wash up myself. Mother already fell asleep hours ago on the couch so, to the best of my abilities I take he to papa and mamas shared room and place her on the bed. Then I lie down for slumber as well.
