☆Once Upon An Us☆

Chapter 1

Lilliana Adams

"Welcome back to unsolved true crime podcasts. In this episode we will explain the victim's dea-"

"Lilliana could you shut that thing off
I don't want to listen to how someone's throat has been cut off early in the morning." My mother says

"It's better than watching a play of Romeo And Juliet Again" I murmur not letting her hear what I said

My mother, a hopelessly romantic person loves watching failed love
Example-Titanic

My parents were high school sweetheart. They are lucky. Someone people don't even find love even after getting married

"It's 7:30 on a Sunday why are you awake so early?" She asks

"I couldn't sleep" It's true I have insomnia

"Well do you want to eat something?"

"I'm fine. I'm going out for a run I'll be back soon" I say and head out before she has the time to respond

I didn't actually need to run or anything.
It was an escuse because I knew my mom was gonna bring up my insomnia again and it will circle back to the incident why I left my other school.

I'm not really excited for school tomorrow. First days suck but I'll handle it

I didn't want to leave my earlier school or town. I liked it there but I didn't have a choice

Chapter 2

That night

It is currently 11:00, I'm pretty sure my parents think I'm sleeping.

I have to wake up early tomorrow so I need to sleep early but it's not as if I am going to get sleep anyway so might as well stay up

My insomnia wasn't always this bad, not before the incident

I hear the stairs creeking and I know I'm doomed

"Lilliana Adams what are you doing up so late" My mother says in a low voice in order to not wake anyone else up

"I told you already I couldn't sleep" Yep here starts the lecture

"Aw honey does it have anything to do with the scandal at your last scho-"

"Mom I'm fine it has nothing to do with it" she definitely sees through my lie

"We are talking about this in the morning for now go and try to sleep"

Fuck

Chapter 3

As expected I couldn't sleep. I check the time on my phone

5:30AM, Are you kidding me. School doesn't start until 8:00

Well I'm awake anyway so might as well go put for a walk

I exit the front door and close it gently so I don't disturb anyone's sleep

There aren't many people around but there are some

I walk until the nearby park, sit down and check my phone for any messages

There is one from my ex bestfriend. One I don't plan on checking either

I sit there for half an hour. I'm pretty sure I look dead before a decide to head back

I check the time on my watch before entering the house

6:16AM

Ok that's not bad. I walk in and see my mother on her phone

"Honey where did you go?"

Antarctica

"I was on a walk"

"Well when did you wake up?"

I can't wake up if I never slept you idiot

"6:00"

"Ok do you want something to eat?"

How about a slice of silence?

"Pancakes seem fine"

"Ok anything else"

Yea I actually want a rainbow unicorn, return to my old school and most importantly sleep

"No I'm fine"

"Ok hon, go sit down I'll make pancakes"

"I need to bathe first I stink" That wasn't true...well maybe it was but it was also an excuse to not talk about my insomnia

After bathing

I wear a tank top and a jeans. Yea I'm really not trying today. I did at my last school and look at what happened

I put on makeup. Did you expect that I'm one of those girls who swear they wear no makeup yet look like a godess? Well you're wrong.

I head downstairs for breakfast. I won't lie the pancakes look and smell good

"Good morning did you sleep well?" My dad asks

I don't know, maybe we should ask the black circles under my eyes

"Yea I did"

I start to eat the pancake

"Are you eating that" My little sister Elise asks

No, an identical ai robotic version of me is

"Yes"

"I want pancakes too"

Ugh this is annoying

"Well go ask mom then"

"Lilly be nice, she's only 13. Don't worry Elise I made pancakes for everyone"

"Whatever I need to go" I say

"I'll drop you hurry up Elise " My dad says

"I'm coming" she responds

In the car

"Dad can you please turn down the music we are not in the nineties anymore" My sister says

Damn I'm surprised

"What do you mean this is popular" yea, no it's not

"Anyway this is the school. Have a good day and don't get detention"

"Bye dad" I say before rushing out

Well this is...different

I enter the school and tell myself to calm down

I see people whispering and pointing. Well the same high school bullshit everywhere I guess

"Wait isn't that the girl who bullied someone nearly to death"

"Gosh I think she is"

"I haven't even met her and I can already tell she's gonna be a bitch"

Well they are true

"Hey, your right I am a bully and I am a bitch so I say stay away before it's too late" I say

I hear more whispering

"What your gonna murder us" some guy responds

"Oh honey death is an escape. I won't kill you instead I'll humiliate you so bad until you kill yourself but you won't be safe because I'll be waiting for you in hell"

I'm pretty sure the guy sheds a tear

"So anyone else?" I ask

More whispering and pointing

"Wait until Abhay shows up, he'll crush her to death" someone says

I was about to ask who the fuck Abhay is but the bell rings

"Saved by the bell" the same guy says

Oh yes the same fucking Warning every single pathetic person says when they can't fight back

"Shiver me to timbers" I say
