I read over the paper I dreaded going back. The lady always asked if I could tell her stuff. She asked me to tell her the dreams I had. That's when the panic attacks started becoming daily. That's when I started to be scared of everything and everyone. But that was a months ago. Now I'm just scared of anyone who wasn't Justin, mom and dad. What an accomplishment right?
But I barely saw human life, I always stayed inside. It worried my parents so Justin took me out to the back yard a few times. Once we even tried the park which didn't end well.
"Good morning." Justin jogs in and puts something in the microwave. I wince when he slams it shut. "Damn. I'm sorry." He apologized. I give him a small smile. This is my twin brother Justin. We don't talk much but I guess that's because he goes to real school and has a life. I usually don't say much to him. It's not like he's mean. He is actually really nice and has invited me to many of his football games. I never went. Maybe it was my fear of the outside or fear of people. He takes whatever out the microwave and moves towards stairs.
"Wait Justin." I pretty much yell.
"Yes." He turns to me. I debate on asking him. He is my bother right? My twin! We're like one person. "You can tell me Lexia." He smiles.
"Would it um be ok to go to public school?" I asked slowly.
"Yes of course it is."
"I mean.. to your school. Would you be ok with that?" I asked.
"Yes." He yells. "Of course. I'll watch after you too." He excitedly smiles now.
"You think mom and dad would agree?" I asked.
"It will take some talking. I'll help." He says.
"Thanks Justin." I smile.
"No problem." He goes upstairs to his room. I look at the paper once more. This was in a week. Maybe I can get my mom to cancel it. I think it over. How would high school be?
-
My father walks in through the back door. His clothes wrinkled and slightly dirty.
"A-Are you ok?" I asked.
"I didn't even see you there princess." He turns to me quickly. Almost as if he was going to attack me.
"C-Can I go to Justin's school.. Please?" I asked before he can leave.
"Justin's school?"
"Yeah he said he would watch out for me. And I want to be normal instead of being home schooled all by myself." I mumble. I doubt he heard most of it.
"You know high school could be overwhelming. I know Justin will look after you. I'll talk to mom about it and I'll let you know. If you don't like it you can start home school again and leave the school that same day. But promise me you'll talk to us about your feelings." He says softly sitting next to me.
"I promise." I glance at him and he nods.
"Ok. I'll get you to go two days from now. You have to go shopping." He plans it out and I hug him. Slowly he hugs me back.
"Thank you." I whisper.
"Anytime princess. It's getting late. Go get ready for tomorrow. Your mom will take you shopping." I pull away and kiss his cheek he smiles.
"Good night dad." He nods as I rush upstairs to my room.
-
I hide behind my dad as we walk in the store. There must be a million people here! This guy's arm brushed against mine. I almost freaking passed out. There was a lot of people looking at me oddly too.
"Princess.. this is like everyday life at school. Especially high school. Are you sure you want to go?" He asked. My mom just walked around the store. That was a sign I bit my lip and looked around the store.
"You've upset me." His voice echoes my mind. He isn't here. I chant in my head. Then he's there.
"Sorry." I whisper. He stands in front of me.
"You've be bad. You hurt your dear mother." He shakes his head. I glance at my mom. She looked at me worried.
"Princess please calm down. He's not here remember." My dad says calmly.
"Yeah I'm not here." He steps closer to me. I swear I felt his cold hands crease my cheek. "Run." He whispers. I run out of the mall to the parking lot. I hit past a lot of people until I'm in a hug. A full hug that consumes my whole body.
"I'm here." Justin pants. I cry into his shirt. He rubs my back until I calm down. Justin never really been a person to comfort me but I know he is capable of doing so if the time came.
"Mom is mad." I said burying my face in his chest.
"It's not your fault. She just doesn't want her bird is leaving the nest." He comforts me. If it wasn't embarrassing enough my mother screams my name, probably looking under cars and asking people. Would she? I blush deep red at the thought.
"Alexia you almost gave me a heart attack." I feel her join the hug.
"I'm so sorry mommy." I start crying again.
"It's ok. I'm not mad. I'm just a little sad. I'm very happy that you want to try something new. I love you too much to be mad that you want to grow." She kisses my head.
After everything calmed down we got back in the car and drove back home. I really needed to get my act together. He wasn't here. He was just in my head. I'm starting school in a day and I just proved I wasn't ready.
When we got home I went up to my room ignoring their calls and lock my door. How can I possibly be anymore useless?
-
I open my room door and walk out. I've stayed in there for the whole day yesterday preparing. Today was my first day of high school. I wasn't about to miss this. I see the bags of clothes on the couch and pick a simple outfit. A long sleeve black shirt and blue jeans. After I change I make breakfast for everyone. My mom comes downstairs and squeezed me into a hug.
"Nice to see your out of the cave." My father says. I just nod.
"Can you speak sweetie? Do you need to stay home?" I look at her in horror.
"Mom she's a teen not a baby stop it." Justin comes to my rescue.
"I can speak. It's my first day I'm not gonna miss it." I hand everyone there plate before sitting down.
"Finish up. I'll drive you." Dad says finishing his food. I looked around the table. My mother nods. "Breakfast was perfect. Go finish get ready I'll be in the car." He kissed my head and walked out. I grabbed my converse and walk down stairs. My mom was standing there.
"I'm sorry if I worried you." I hug her and she hugs back.
"It's ok." I said. She pulls away and gives me a book bag I picked out at the mall. I slip it on. "Have a good first day. Stay by Justin at all times. I love you." She yells as Justin pulls me out of the house.
"Love you too." Justin and I say in sync.
