My Obsession

3 - THREE

*Anna's POV*

She threw a knife at me which cut my left hand. And I was bleeding.

Blood was everywhere. And that wasn’t the first time she did this. She kept beating me, bruises were all over my body. I wish this was the end. But it wasn’t. She blames me for everything. She says I ruined her life, I ruined her body. It's not my fault, is ir? She had the option to kill me before giving birth to me but she didn't.

I didn't do anything wrong. She kept blaming me for everything and I couldn't take that anymore.

Richard wasn’t home that day. He went to hangout with his friends and this happened.

I slept while thinking about all these, thinking how my mom's life would be better if I wasn’t born, how Richard could live his life the way he wanted and not taking care of me always.

★★★

I heard alarm on my phone . My eyes opened. It's 7:30. My daily routine. Got used to it.

Until I am done with my sleeping or it's my alarm ringing nothing else can wake me up from sleep. Even if the world goes upside down........

Today Richard went early as he had some extra classes. I reached school.

My eyes went to a group of girls. Popular girls of this school. Look at them. So pretty and delightful. They are the best-best friends I guess. They are always together.

They are everything I couldn’t be. They are pretty, they are confident, they are not socially awkward, they have friends.

Is there something wrong with me?

5 girls. Kylie, Divya, Cearra, Trixie, Marina.

But they were bad news too. No messing with them.

They were about to pass me when Kylie; the leader looked at me. More specifically glared at me.

"Oi girl, what you lookin' at?" She glared.
Other girls started laughing.
How was I supposed to tell them that I wanted to be like them?

Only Cearra had pity for me. She seems bit different.

I didn't say anything and left from there. You wouldn't want to be traumatised by them. As I want to be like them, I want yo skip their bad parts too.

Last time a girl messed with them was ended up being viral in nudes. There were posters of her everywhere around the school.

Even the Principal talked to her parents and said that their daughter was asking for boys attention. Out of shame, the poor girl left the school.

~ Time passed to lunch time ~

I was about to enter canteen when I saw Richard. He was with Charles.
Charles was Richard's best friend. 2nd best friend.

Black hair, amber eyes. Tall, strong and pretty. His dressing sense screamed I'm a billionaire baby. But all were fake. He was a normal middle class person.
And I always felt something wrong about him. Always. We never got along.

"Hey Richard." I waved at him and went near him.

"Here she comes between us again. You always stay with your brother. Let me live pleaseeee." Says Charles William.

"As if you're dying." I joked.

He is always jealous of I and Richard. He wants his friend and I want my brother.

Sometimes I feel bad for not letting my brother live his life. I'm always with him.

He knows I and Richard are siblings. This fake billionaire human being practically stays in my house.

"You are taking away my brother from me, you are the one who should stay away. Okay?" I shrugged off.

"Okay,guys please stop your fighting. That's your never ending fight I know. Why do you guys always fight?" Richard asked in angry voice. (Fake angry)

After that, I and Charles, we didn't say anything. We know Richard doesn't like us fighting always.

And just a few moments later I heard a voice calling out 'RICHARD'. I got scared. I turned around and saw Rylan running towards us.

Charles and Rylan did their bro- shake. (Like handshake).

"Remember I told you there's a party in my house and you are obviously coming. That's tonight." Rylan said to Richard. More like an order.

I was busy with my phone. I pretended I didn't hear anything.

I am not interested in any kinds of parties.

"Yeah sure I'll come." Richard replied.

"You could bring a date too." Rylan looked at me. Only if I had a date.

I also looked up at him.

"You are also coming to the party.And take it as my order. I know you don't go to parties. But this time you are coming." He ordered me.

He invited me to his party. Rylan.

"What? No. I...I am not coming. Obviously not." I replied.

"You are coming. See you tonight at the party. Sharp 7 p.m." He said and went back.

Since when we were this close? Huh?

"He finally did a good thing." Richard praised him.

I looked up at him and rolled my eyes.

After school,

I hopped on to my car.

My phone vibrated to a message from Richard :

Meet me at the city mall. Now!

Mall? Why?

I went to the mall without any further questions.

I saw him standing near the parking lot. I parked my car and went to him.

He held my hand and took me inside.

"I know my little babygirl doesn't have a party dress. I already chose one for you."

He handed me a dress which is way too pretty for me.

"Take this, go the trial room." He told me.

I was shocked. And my brother was excited for my first party. Oh God. Which brother does this? Of course,mine.

I went to the trial room and put on the dress. I looked in the mirror. Beautiful. I looked beautiful. Or I felt beautiful.

Maybe if I do makeup I'll look beautiful.

But I never do makeup.

I saw the dress. It's amazing. It's an iced blue colour dress. Keeps my shoulder naked.
It's exactly above my knees. It is designed with white pearls from chest to under stomach. And it fit my curve perfectly.

It's so pretty. But it must be expensive. We don't have any financial problem but seeing my brother spending so much on me. Something I don't want.

My brother got a good choice. Not that I can argue with him about anything. I changed back to my earlier dress and went out. 
Richard looked at me.

I went near him.

"I am buying this dress. And you'll see me wearing it only at the party. Not before than that." I winked.

He smiled. I bought this dress. Wondering how I will look in it.

I need to have if I have heels of not. And maybe I need to go through my mom's makeup items because I don't have much.
