First chappie right up...😁😁😁

Valerie's POV

"Valerrriiiieeee!!!" I heard a scream coming from downstairs, just by the sound, one would know it has to be my mother calling me. Seems like Nessa reported me to her, that has to be the only reason she remembers she has another child. I can boldly day for the past two days she hasn't spoken to me. I ignored the screams and laid back on my bed. This was until I heard loud, deafening knocks on the door of my bedroom.

I let whoever knocked open the door themselves without me replying. Nessa barged in.
"Are you deaf or didn't you hear mom calling you just now"

I ignored whatever she just said and strolled lazily out of the room to the kitchen where I knew mom would be. Honestly I had no strength for unnecessary talks and drama.

"So, we've turned to agemates that I'll call you and you won't reply me abi? Ok naw. So I just learned that you weren't in school today. Where the hell were you?" I saw the rage flash in her eyes. Only that little goody-two-shoes snitch would tell on me. So I turned to her and sent a cold icy glare past her. She got the message immediately and said,

"Heiii, don't give me that look, Mrs Martins, your class teacher called her." She defended

"And why are you looking at her like that? Chisom why are you explaining infact get out of here. I want to speak with her" I just stood and rolled my eyes. What does she want to talk to me about. Abeg ohh. Vanessa walked out of the kitchen and I just seemed to find something interesting on the cold marble floor.

"And you?? I ask again. Where were you today?" She held her hands akimbo. I muffled a few responses which she gave me a stink eye.

"Am I not talking to you? Ehn Netochukwu?! Have I suddenly started speaking Latin. Where were you?" Still kept quiet...

"Jesus!! Netochukwu! Am talking to you" she flailed her hands in a funny manner. I just stared at her transfixed.

"Are you even listening to me right now?" She pushed me a bit and I finally blinked. I don't even know what came over me but I didn't feel like responding. But I did when I saw a lone tear fall freely down her face.

"I went for a walk " I deadpanned

"You what? Went for a walk? When your mates are studying in school. Are you even normal" No, exactly, am not. But I didn't reply her.

"What exactly is wrong with you? Why you bent on making me crazy? Ehn? Why do you act the way you do? Where did I go wrong as a mother? I feel like I don't even know my daughter, I feel like am with stranger when I'm with you. I don't even know the things you're capable of doing. I don't even know you anymore" Obviously you honestly don't..not like you ever did.

"Can I go to my room now ?" I asked calmly.

"Ohmigawd, are you being real right now? I'm talking to you and you want to go to your room? Y'know what? Just leave" Thank you!! finally airrr.

I walked out briskly back to my room, slammed the door shut and rushed over to my bed, as I stuffed my face in my soft pillow sobbing loudly.

~~Few minutes later~~

I laid with my back on the bed looking at the white ceiling. I heard soft knocks accompanied by my twin sister's presence. She was standing akimbo.

"Why are you doing this? How d'you feel knowing you always make mom cry?? Just tell me how on Earth can someone be this cruel. What happened to you? " She shook her head when she figured my attention was still on the ceiling. She came to sit on my bed, dangerously close to me.

"What is going on in your life? What is happening to you? You can talk to me. This isn't normal anymore" Can everyone learn to mind their fucking business?

"Talk to me,you can't keep on keeping things to yourself, learn to speak up sometimes. If you let me in on your thoughts, who knows maybe I can be of help to you?" I scoffed..loudly

"What? You don't think I can? What happened to us? We used to be best of friends. Mom is going crazy, dad is trying his best to maintain calm, and me? I'm just trying to think of when everything went wrong." She looked at me as if waiting for me to start talking.
Omohh you go hope.. abi after you finish yarning nonsense you'll go back to your room.

She noticed I was still staring at the ceiling. She released a shaky sigh.

"I'm talking to you" Ignoredddd!! I guess she lost it here.

"The fuck?? I'm talking to you and you're staring at the ceiling. D'you think am here to play. Why are you this selfish? We're your family we can help you with whatever you're going through. Have faith in us. But no? You clearly don't want to. You can go to hell for all I care. I don't give a fuck anymore. You can go ahead to hit your head on the wall till you're bleeding to death. I don't care. Just don't mess my life with your already messed up, fucked up, life. Mtcheeww fool" With that she stormed off. Just like everyone, my twin walked off. She left. She did. She got frustrated and went away. I did that. Again . I did.

Torrents of heavy tears flowed down my eyes, my cheeks,my face landing on my clothes and lap. I can't do this anymore. I suddenly felt out of breath. I couldn't breath anymore. It was like the walls of my chests were closing in on me. I suddenly got out of the bed, my whole body quaking, shivering, shaking violently. I rushed to my bedside cupboard and opened the drawer and took out the pills from the sachet. Different pills for different ranges of happiness. I took out five tablets and forced them down my throat with water. It wasn't enough. I took out the powdery one ...poured it on the top of the cupboard and sniffed it through. I pulled back my head and smiled so happily. That moment I felt happy, ecstatic, filled with intense pleasure. For a moment I forgot everything. My bad grades, my mom's cries, my sister's scolds,my dad's miserable state, my shattered life. Everything. But for how long?? How long till the happiness fades away??

How was the chapter ppl?? 😁😁
