A BROKEN MIND

CHAPTER10

Isabella and Dominga then get outside and see the different lines for boys and girls, Dominga waves to Isabella "see you at the orphanage", she waves back at him as they go to their various lines. On Isabella getting to the line, she is tapped at the back by someone, she then turns to see Ashley, "hey..." Isabella says, "hey yourself, are you a Dominga a thing?  Ashley replies, Isabella "eww no, i'm just doing this so he does not bother to take my brother too serious and to piss off my brother, why're you asking huh?, you like him?", Ashley sheepishly shrugs "people like me not the other way around", Isabella taunts her "sure", they then start to board the bus back to the orphanage.

While on the bus back to the orphanage, Jeremiah's asking Dominga "how was the first day of uni?", Dominga replies "pretty chill can't lie, i mean the professor changed me and Isabella's chair cause we were talking and  more surprising i saw my ex", Jerimiah shocked says "we'll get back to you and Isabella, what do you mean you saw your ex, how'd you feel, is she finer, d-" Dominga gestures him to relax saying "first i felt quite calm since the breakup was a while ago and yes she actually is finer and a bit taller too and her ey-, dammit", Jeremiah teases him saying "you still like her don't you?",  Dominga "maybe", Jeremiah tells him " it's fine to still have feelings for someone you dated, it's whether you think it's worth getting back together with the person", Dominga rests his back on his seat looking at the ceiling "i guess so". The bus contines making it's way to the orphanage. 

They then finally get back to the orphanage, Dominga and Jeremiah both get down  from the bus, making their way to their room as their room to change to their casuals, Dominga decides to go to sleep, meanwhile Jeremiah goes to another room. As Dominga is sleeping he has a nightmare, he is seated on the table with his foster dad and sister everything is going great at first, everyone is laughing and eating, Dominga then looks down to take a spoon of his food, he looks back up and sees bullet holes in the middle of both their head, their eyes empty looking, his foster sister then speaks saying eerily "this is your fault, if you were not such a hassle, I'd still be alive", his foster dads speaks too " if you hadn't show up at my doorstep, i'd still be alive, you should have died that day with your parents", the nightmare then shifts as it changes to the day his biological parents house were destroyed by the two superhuman beings and he falls to his knees again, he then hears voices that sound like his  parents saying "you should have died here with us!, we were meant to have moved out of this house!, it's  all your fault!", Dominga wakes up shouting "no! im sorry!!", he catches his breath looking around the empty room and he sighs falling back unto his bead staring at the ceiling.

Later that evening, Dominga and Jeremiah leave  their respective beds and make their way to their way to the dining hall, they sit on their seats, Dominga starts to look around, Jeremiah asks "who are you looking for?", Dominga replies "none of your business",eremiah asks " Ashley or Isabella? ", Dominga replies annoyed "none of your da-", miss Jessica then comes into the dinning room saying   "everyone keep quiet!", a teenage looking child then enters the room nervously, Miss Jessica "introduce yourself", the boy "m- my name's Jeminga ,  i'm 15 years old, my parents, uh they left me here, i'm  south African by descent, im greatful to be part of this big family", Miss Jessica pats him on his back saying "good one Jeminga, go and take a seat, you guys welcome Jeminga to our family",  everyone choruses together " welcome to our family", Dominga just looks at him as he seats down, Jeremiah notices Dominga staring and asks him "why're you staring like a weirdo?", Dominga replies with a bit of distain in his voice "he's i don't know, but there's something off about him", Jeremiah scoffs "leave the younglin alone man, he just got abandoned by his parents that's a tough thing to go through". Dominga replies " ours are dead", Jeremiah looks down at the table  saying in a low tone "i'd rather my parents be dead than being abandoned by them", they then get served their food as they then begin to eat.
