Sue's diary

*childhood*

Dogs could be heard barking down the street,Philip had fallen asleep watching his favorite anime,mom was still on a call with one of her customers;i could hear her trying to make a point and also shouting in the process...I stood up to ease myself when I heard dad pulling up the driveway,I sighed,I wasn't a big fan of my dad,but Philip was; I and dad argued a lot as he treated me like my opinions didn't count even though I was 15....

"Your father is back" mom announced like didn't know," go set the table for his dinner"she continued. I left to do as she said and then went into my room as I had school the next day.

I closed my eyes trying to sleep, I couldn't,then I tried thinking about things I wanted to do the next day,that helped as I drifted off to sleep.

It was dark, I could hear muffled screams and someone crying in distance,I moved towards where the sounds were coming from, could feel this dark presence around me;I looked back,the was no one behind me,I was getting scared yet I kept moving forward,then I noticed a kind of liquid dropped on my cheek,I moved my hand to feel it, turned out to be thick and smelt like blood, raising my head to look up;I saw a figure hanging down the ceiling from what looked like a rope,at that moment the dark presence had gained up on me,as I turned to see what It was,I screamed and woke up sweating profusely.... I had had a nightmare.

Growing up wasn't particularly easy for me,I was a quiet kid, always minding my business;I never talked too much or acted out like most kids my age,my brother philip was my only friend,he was sweet kid; always bustling with life,I am three years older than he is but we were quite close.
School was no fun for me as I didn't have anyone to talk to...all I did was study and attend classes, I've always envied Philip who had a lot of friends hanging around him...we were the exact opposite.

I wouldn’t say my family was rich or affluent, we are average; my father was a business man who dealt in cars and several parts of them, people referred to him as Big bill In the neighborhood, he was always ready to listen to their problems and help them in one way or another, thus he was cherished in the neighborhood just like my brother. My mother on the other hand was not much a talker like me, she prefers staying indoors as she also worked from home, she works for this plastic company though I really don’t know exactly what she does for them.They made money just well enough to put Philip and I  through high-school,at that time I was two classes ahead of Philip.
Everything was just perfect until……
