Half-Siblings

After a few more pages, I was finally in our freshmen. Where I remember. I slowly  began to distance from her.

#227 Hey Journal!

It was our first day!! I was almost late. When I encountered him and there, he kept stepping back. Honestly... Grandma said it's a part of adolescents.

" Wait... what?" I asked.

Anyways, Journal, I finally made a female friend her name is lexie. She's known as a bookworm in our class.

To be honest, she defended me against the bullies being surrounded by guys. Especially, William is so famous . I think they mistaken our relationship as a lover or made an issue. We are always together.

William Freyon... his the heartthrob in the school, and some guys called him a player. A candy apple to women's eyes.

His only friend to me and girls always threatened me to stay away from him. What's the deal with that? It's  not that I have feelings for that guy.

" She's being bullied because of William?... tch- his really good for nothing." I said, getting annoyed.

#444 Hey Journal!

My grandma passed away in my second year of high school. I thought she'll make it by my graduation, but I was wrong... I always wanted her to me all the rewards. I had like I did on my 6th grade graduation. But now I realize it will be only in dreams.

Journal, I lost my parents, who have always been my  grandma. It hurts.  Yet, I still need to smile and greet the people at her funeral.

I even heard my mom was married to William's father. William also confessed to before that he loved me, not as a friend, but more than that...

I didn't respond to him, but the look on his face. When he heard our parents were married. That made William more distant from me. He told me he would find a way to not be related to me.

There, I thought William hates me now. Although, he warned me not to tell anyone about it. Especially, him.

" Wait... so Errien and William are sibling by marriage of their parent?" I asked myself.

We started to get distance, and Lexie asked if I'm  feeling ill. Yet, all I remembered is collapsing in the library and waking up in the clinic. I saw a glimpse of him ,but only seen William.

There, I remembered Lexie was calling out to me and told me about Errien fainted. Yet, I immediately carried her all the way to the clinic. I knew that time she was light as a feather, losing weight and overexhausting herself.

She also has black circles under her eyes. As if she never rests peacefully. I thought it's  because of her grandmother's death.

#469 Hey Journal!

My mother took me with her and lived under the same roof with William as half-sibling.

Help me! My stepfather raped me countless times now!... he threatened me not to tell anyone... please, someone, take me away from this hellish house.

Please... I wanna go home to my grandmother's house. I feel so dirty and corrupted over and over.

There, I clenched my fist and punched the wall beside me. No wonder Errien was more odd that time.

She lived in a hellish environment that adult kept harassing her. She was helpless and powerless against them.

There, I can see the pages completely drenched and imprinted with tears writing these kinds of things.

She is an optimistic person who's more secretive than anyone just to hide her traumas and surpasses her pain within.

#521 Hey Journal!

I found out my crush finally had a girlfriend. All these years, I always thought it would be us, but  in the end.

I saw him smile more warmly and genuinely with someone else other than me.

Maybe now, I understand what lexie said, "Wishful thinking." And now to let go of those happy memories with him.

It hurts inside than I thought, and yet, he kept distance from me because of William when I overheard them talking.

" What, William knows the guy?" I asked.

#538 Hey Journal!

I figured out his girlfriend was cheating on him with William. There, I confronted him, but he didn't believe me and William was even pretending to get close to me.

"Twisted personality" is the same as him. He whispered to my ear as I pushed him away from me.

Like father like son... my mother is more blind than me. I never wanted to live the same way as her getting manipulated blindly and being naive.

"Wait..." I said

#569 Hey Journal!

I got kicked out of that house even slapped and dragged by my own mother away. Calling me a slut for seducing William's father pretending to the victim.William even looked at me with disgust, not letting me explain.

There, I went back to my grandmother's apartment. I managed to provide on my own. I kept seeing a glimpse of him, and his avoiding me.

Journal... why is it always cruel, and I will always be the one to be misunderstood.

William even pinned me against the wall. When he called me out to the rooftop and confronted me about why not him and be with his father.

There, I asked him if he would believe me,but as expected, his face was the same as them, even back away from me.

I left him and ran up to the near apartment after school. But stopped as it began to rain, and I managed to see him. Handing the cat his umbrella and running away after.

I managed to take in the cat and to be honest. It is playful and adorable.

It made me feel that it's the one who comforted me the most. The more that I thought, I stopped liking that guy ,but I couldn't help falling over and over again.

Lexie told me I could still love him from after. Yet, I really wish he would look the same at me maybe someday.
