"Jesus Christ! Where have you been" Chris asked when I entered inside . I don't answer him.
"It's past 7 and school closed around 4 so do you care to explain?" I still don't answer him. I tried to go upstairs but he pulled me back. "Answer me!" He yelled
"And why should I?" I yelled back.
"It's raining cat and dog and I was worried...."
"No. You weren't worried because if you were, you would have come to look for me." I decided to walk home. At least I know the road that leads to the house. I came home under the rain. People were looking at me like I was homeless even Hailey passed and splashed me water. She didn't help me.
"I would have but Taylor..."
"It's always about Taylor. Taylor this, Taylor that. I'm tired of hearing her name okay?" I tried to move again but he pulled me back
"I told you to come with Hailey so what happened?" He doesn't leave my hand.
''Like she wanted to drop me home" I frowned
"She said you refused to come with her"
"Really" i clasp my hands. ''i didn't want to come with her huh?" I laughed. "She said she wasn't gonna drop me at home" I shouted and he laughed
"My sister will never say that. She's a nice girl" I fold my arms and look at him. Don't know why he can't see that she's a bad person
"Do you believe me or her? Do I look like someone that'll want to walk home alone? Under the fucking rain"
"You act like a lunatic so I won't be surprised or I am not surprised" I act like lunatic. I didn't see that coming
"I act like a lunatic! And you kissed me" I looked at him in the eyes
"See, I believe my cousin so much. You're saying nonsense" he frowned
"And when we talk about trust. Just trust" I laughed. ''i thought you had littlevtrust for me and you want me to fucking trust you with all my secrets huh? I'm glad I know better now."
"Hailey is just not like that. And you shouldn't say nonsense about her" he yelled
Right
"I am not saying nonsense. I lied the last time. She didn't drop me home. Becca did. She asked me not to tell you" I yelled
"Just shut the fuck up. I'm tired of hearing your lies. You're such a liar. You're just jealous of her"
Jealous? Where is this coming from?
"Why will I be jealous of her?" I frown
I'm beginning to get really pissed
''You should ask yourself"
"You know what? Fine! Hailey is a good person. I am the bad one here. I know is not easy accommodating me in your house" I step back.
"It's not!" He yelled even more. "And yes! You're just spoiling her name" I stepped back again and run out of the house
This is too much. I thought I meant something to him. I thought he could trust me. I'm just a nuisance. Family first. I don't have a family so maybe I don't understand that saying. I search for my phone but I realize that I dropped it at home, along with my bag, on the couch. I sit at the door step. I don't want to get inside. Infact, I want to get sick. I walk outside towards the gate and leave the house. I walk on the dark, lonely street. The security lights ain't on today
Flashback
**********
"Ever since your mother died, I find it difficult to love you. I am sick and tired of you" dad yells at me
"But it's not my fault dad" I cry
"Oh shut up your mouth. You're only allowed to eat twice in this house and do not load the plate with food"
"How will I survive?''
"Are you asking me that? I provide shelter, clothes to cover your ugly, stupid scar and you're asking me that? Have I not tried?"
"But I am your daughter" I yell
"You said what?" He holds my hair tight and I cry
"Lay down there" he points the couch and I obey. "You" he flogs me with his belt..."are" he flogs me again..."not" he flogs me again..."My daughter!" He throws his glass cup at me and it breaks and cuts my skin. I since in pain with tears flowing freely
**************
A car honks so hard and I realized that I would have almost been hit by a car
"Sorry" I whispered
Mind 1: sorry for what. That he didn't kill you
Mind 2: or sorry that you're not looking
Yeah. Maybe that
Mind 2: just get home already
Please not now minds. I see a bench and i sit in it and watch the rain fall on me, mixing with my tears. I have suffered a lot and I'm still suffering. I sit there for an hour or so before going home. By then, the rain is no longer falling cat and dog. I stand for the gate to scan my card before opening. I open the door gently and wall inside. I pick up my backpack and phone and go to my room. I go to shower and then change into a big top and baggy trouser. I lay on my bed and memories of dad hurting me keeps playing in my head. I let my tears fall, I didn't even know when the room door opened
"Can we talk?" Chris voice echoes in my room but I don't say anything. You can only hear my gentle sob and sniffing
"Please Ana" he said, calmly
"I'm not mad at you. Please let me be" I said with a shaky voice
"See you tomorrow and I'm ...."
"Bye" I cut him off and he shuts the door.
I don't need your fucking sorry! I'm fine.
