"Jade, honey. I've had enough of your behavior." My mother sighed. "I know having a mental disorder can be traumatizing, but I'm afraid I can't take it anymore. Your going to a mental asylum."
"No! Why mom? I-I-I'm telling the truth! I'm not crazy! Please mom! Anything but that! Give me another chance I'll keep my mouth shut! I promise!" I cried out frantically. Tears started to form in my eyes. My nightmare is coming true. Again. Though it's not like anyone would've believed me.
"Mom don't make her go to a mental asylum. Don't you think you're going a little over board? Plus everyone at school would eventually find out that my little sister went to a mental asylum! They would treat me like a cancer patient." My older twin brother Gabe said."Then I would have to deal with annoying questions."
I glared at him and punched him on the arm. He just looked at me like I was an annoying fly.
"I'm trying to help you, Jade." He said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, by "help" you mean not having to deal with annoying people. " I angrily replied.
"Look you two, my mind is made up. Jade your going to a mental asylum to get the help you so desperately deserve. I can't have you running around letting people know their death dates! Or worse, how they are going to die!" My mother yelled at me.
"But mo..." I tried.
"But NOTHING, I'm sorry but I can't be known as the mother that has a daughter who has a mental disorder." She shouted in my face.
To say I was taken aback was the understatement of the year. I think I actual heard my heart drop. Then break into a million pieces.
Seeing my face she rubbed her face with her hand. "Great, now I'M the bad guy. Look Jade it's called tough love. I love you but your going to have to leave, it's just better for your family and most importantly, you."
"Don't make it seem like your doing this for me mom. I heard what you said, you don't want to be known as the mother with the kid who has a mental disorder. I mean you're already known as the mother who's husband left her. You can't have another bad reputation around here. I got it." I babbled without thinking about what I was saying. Once I heard it come out my mouth I didn't regret it. Which was weird because I regretted everything. Oh well, she needed to here the truth anyways.
A heavy blanket of silence held in the air. No one said a word. Gabe eyes widened and his eyebrows flew up.Mom just stood there and held my gaze. Her expression wasn't clear enough for me to read it. Her death date still the same, and so is the way she's dying.
A knock on the front door killed the silence in the living room. Mom hardened her glare on me before she left for the door. I instantly let my guard down and slouched into my favorite couch. The one where I made a permanate butt print in.
"That took guts." Gabe admitted to me. "Maybe a little to much."
"I don't want to go. I know I'm not crazy. Do you think I am?" I asked him.
He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Look cookie, I wouldn't use the word "crazy". I don't think your lying, I mean maybe you watch to many horror movies, that's a possibility."
"You don't believe me. You could've just said so. No point in sparing my feelings." I sighed. I got up and walked out the room but not before I said, "And stop calling me Cookie. I know you love watching Empire but the name doesn't suit me. Plus that show is so 2015! Get with the present Gabe it's 2033!"
"Jade! I will never stop calling you that. And don't tell anyone about that! Jade!? " I heard his deep voice yell behind me. It was too late, I made up my mind about him too. He joined the dark side. The dark side being everyone who thinks I'm crazy.
Gabe not believing me cut deep. He always believed me when we were kids, he was always there for me since we were in diapers. Whenever someone picked on me he would keep me under his wing. Since he got popular in school, and had the reputation of the "bad boy" in school, he never forgot about his sister. Though one thing that always bothered me was how tall and handsome he got. Plus the fact that he's only 30 seconds older than me. He always made sure I never forgot that. He still loved me anyways, and I thought I did too.
"But I don't know if I can ever forgive him for that one." I said thinking out loud.
Someone knocked on my door, and I didn't answer it. The person came in anyways and revealed herself.
"That was one of your little school friends, they wanted to hang out with you." My mother said leaning against my wall. "I sent them away, you need to pack. Your leaving on Monday." Her mind still unchanged about the situation, she walked out my room.
I sighed loudly and threw myself on my bed. I smothered my face with my pillow and let out a scream.
I made a decision and decided not to pack.
I'm not crazy. I don't have a mental disorder that's just what they call people when they are unusually right about everything. What am I going to do? No one believes me anymore. Then when it happens they're so surprised. Dumbasses.
"Stop thinking about how you screwed up and start packing Jade!" My mother screamed from downstairs. Funny how she was calling me honey a half hour ago.
I laid there not caring what my mother said. I stared up at the ceiling and thought about how unfair everything is. How I started to see death whenever I looked someone in the eye. I thought about how dad left mom when my brother and I were 8 years old. He said he was going to the store to get some milk. Though he seemed super sketchy. He was going to the "store" with a suitcase stuffed with clothing. Plus he kissed my forehead and said goodbye as if he was never gonna come back. And he never did.
When he left us our mom took it hard. She started drinking and smoking. She also let herself go, she was obese for a while, until she pulled herself together and lost weight and quit smoking. She said she did it for us but it was clear she did it for herself, when some random guy looked at her with disgust on the street and called her fat. She still drinks now and then but not as much as she used to.
I decided I didn't want to be here anyways. So I got up and packed but with no intention of actually going to a mental asylum.
There's the first chapter! Hope you guys liked it! 😄😊😃😝😜
