Exploring The Universe

4. A disaster

2 years later

During the past two years, I've still been able to communicate with Bill and many other people from different dimensions. So far, I've met 7 people in other dimensions. The first person or demon I met was Bill, then it was Sasuke, next was Yor, another was Aizawa, after him was Gyuu, then was Shadow who was a hedgehog, and finally was Hobart or Hobie for short.

Meeting them was life changing. I feel so at home when I'm with them. I don't feel pressure when I say I have powers or even talk about them. They know I'm from another dimension and that I'm not necessarily normal or perfect. Honestly, I feel like we're just one big, happy family.

But anyways, besides meeting people from other dimensions. Right now, currently, I'm in the principles office. I got in trouble for not paying attention in class like always

Truth be told, I don't even know why they're complaining. I mean, I'm still passing my classes. I feel like they just want me to get in trouble with my parents or something.

After about hours of being in the office, mom had finally arived. Having a quick talk with the principal about my behavior. Then we left into the parking lot where her car was.

I could tell my mom was disappointed in me. Her eyes showed it all. I looked away from her, knowing that she would want to have a big talk with me when we got home. Once we arrived home, I was going to go straight to my room but she stopped me.

"Why must you make things so difficult, isabell," Mother had asked. I was silent. I didn't want to bring up anything about me having powers since the last time I brought it up, I literally almost got slapped for it.

I sighed, knowing if I ignored her, I'll be getting grounded, and I didn't want that. I turn to my mother, preparing myself. I was about to bring up the one thing that could break the only piece of connection we have.

"I keep thinking about the people I meet in other dimensions," I said wearily. "Isabell, we've talked about this. You can not be making up these kinds of things at your age. It can cause problems, especially since they're not true, " she said, huffing in anger.

"But I am telling the truth, I swear im not making anything up. You've got to believe me," I said, voice sounding desperate. "I -" I stopped talking, I saw him, Nick. He's here.

My vision became blurry as I ran up the stairs to my room. I was scared more scared than I should be. Whenever Nick caught me talking about my powers, he would become a little violent. He would scream and insult me until I cried he would even hit me sometimes, but my mom didn't know this. It always happened behind closed doors. Im too scared to tell anyone.

I whimpered silently when I started to her my mom argue with him. Not wanting anything bad to happen to my mother, I quietly went downstairs hiding behind the kitchen wall where they stood arguing with each other.

Then it happened. It was too quick for my brain to process it. I was suddenly knocked down onto the floor. I had taken a hit.

He was about to hit my mother...

Getting up slowly, I stood in front of him and SLAP.....

I slapped him. "Don't you DARE TRY AND HIT MY MOTHER!!" I screamed at him. I  glared at him, staring into his eyes. He huffed angrily, being unbothered by my hard stare.

He reached into his pocket slamming paper onto the table, and I flinched. He looked towards my mother, "I want a divorce. Sign these papers now. I don't ever want to be associated with this family again. You can keep the kids, too. I don't want them."

I froze. He wants to separate from use. Leave us behind. I inwardly smiled, but I looked towards my mom and frowned. She was crying, but nevertheless, she grabbed a pen and went to sign the papers.

Once the papers were signed, he left and didn't look back. I looked towards my mother. I went to her slowly and hugged her, apologizing. I knew this was happening because of me.

I let go of her leading her toward the couch once again, bringing her into my embrace. She let out a loud cry, hugging me tightly. After crying for a while, I saw she fell asleep.

I laid her down, gently putting a blanket on her and left to go to my room. But I stopped. My brother was there and it was then I knew he heard everything. He was glaring at me.

I could tell he thought it was my fault that his dad had left. Honestly, I don't blame him because it was my fault. If I hadn't just kept me having my powers to myself, just maybe Nick would have stayed. Maybe...

I turned towards my brother about to walk towards him, but he ran off into his room. I sighed for the hundredth time. I just know that things are going to get harder from now on.

Turning, I went to my room. Had had to figure out a way to help mom. She has a job, yes, but not one suitable enough to take care of three kids.

Taking out my laptop, I began searching...
