LOVE BEYOND LESSONS (A Teacher and Student Romance)

XLII - BI. ANTIDOTE

Eli
"Eli" a voice said, and I opened my eyes and I was met with complete darkness, I stood up and looked at the figure who is standing right in front of me. He stood where the moonlight shine so that I could see his face

"How did you entered?" I cried but he just laughed at me and I saw a knife on his left hand

"Darling you know that Joe was caught? That idiot told everything about me, and I thought he was my most trusted and loyal member!" he screamed at me, he take a step forward as I step backwards.

"Jack!" My mom screamed, she's on the floor I did not even noticed her there, she stood up her eyes were swollen and her nose is bleeding

"Mom!" I shout back, then Jack pulled my hair as I screamed in pain on the way how hard he pulled it so that he can have access to my neck, he runs the knife to my throat

"You will see your father now Eli" he sweetly whispered that it made a knot to my stomach

"Jack, leave my daughter alone!" My mom screamed as she stood up her face is so determined. So with all the adrenaline I have I bite Jack's hand and turned to kicked his groin he pushed me and he started to scream in pain, but he was able to hold my ankle and I stumbled down

"No! Stop it! Please!" I shouted then I kicked him and went to my mom, I pulled her but she can't walk, Jack begin to stand up and pulled me pinning me down, I pushed him with all my might

"Get off me!" I screamed I slapped him so hard and went to my mom

"Let's go mom please!" my mom nodded and I wrapped her arms around my neck as we both walk towards the back door

"You two reached my patience!" Then Jack caught on us and pulled my hair once more

"Fuck You!" I screamed and he slapped me

"Your daughter have more guts than you Amelia!" Jack laugh, but my mom have a broken bottle on her hand and hit Jack's head and I could see blood dripping down all over his head

"You whore!" she pulled my mother and pushed her to the floor, I saw him raised the knife and started to stab my mom endlessly, as I heard my mom cries of pain

"No! Mom!!!" I cried as I try to pull Jack off my mom I could see blood splattered on the floor. I kicked Jack's back and head, he stumbled and I hover to check my mom, I check her pulse I can barely feel it, I hold her hand and I looked at her

"Mom.." I cried

"Eli, I..lo..ve you, I...am so sorry.." then she took her last breath and died in my arms.

I jolted up from my bed, my breath deep and heavy, and my shirt is full of sweat. I am just laying here a while ago thinking of the beautiful dream that I have about Rob, that I did not noticed I had fallen asleep again only to wake up from a nightmare.

I stand up and stretched my arms looking at the window again, people are walking some are laughing and others are just getting on their way, I wonder what problems they have or carry, how envious I feel. I bet their life is not complicated as I am.

Two years ago, I was wrapped in to this pain of losing half of my family, I endured all the things I experienced from Sean and Joe, I endured all the abuse I received, what will be my life right now if I did not met Rob? What will be my life if I did not met my grandfather?

I slumped my self on the floor and leaned my head on the wall, why it is so hard to have a normal life? A normal senior student who doesn't have emotional baggages, forbidden relationship and mess up family.
