My life used to be full of energy. I went to all the party I could go to.
I enjoy the company of others. I welcome new people to my life.
I can never be away from my close friends for more than a day and I love being around my family.
then one day all things changed.
*phone ringing*
I looked at the screen of my phone and saw that one of my close friends is calling. well she is a close friend I consider her as my bestfriend.
*Annie calling*
I debated with myself whether to answer it or not. the last time I talked to her was after the party we attended last month. well we txted but that is only for me to confirm that i'll be attending her nephews birthday party.
I told her i'll be going to the party but ended up not really attending it. after that we never talked. but she still text me whenever she could. She is busy with work. well yes she is working. since she is older than me.
*third person's POV*
Emily suddenly looked at her phone as she realized that the phone stoped vibrating.
means that her friend ended the call since she is not answering.
she felt sad because deep inside her heart she wanted to talk to her.
"emily! dinner's ready!" her mom told her after a light knock from her door.
"ok"
her mom went inside her room and sat beside her.
"panga, what happened? it's been a few days since you left your room."
("panga" pronouced as *pang~ ga~* is a nickname from a province in the philippines given to someone by there loved once meaning "love")
"i'm ok ma"
"*sigh* ok. if you don't want to talk about it then I won't push you to tell me"
her mom decided to leave her alone. but before her mom totaly went out her room.
"ah! by the way Em, I talked to your cousin thea and we made a decision that it might be better for you to study there. it might help you on whatever your going thru."
she looked at the door while her mom closed it. now she is left wondering what is happening.
*Em's POV*
WHAT THE FUDGE!
this is it! I totaly ruined my life! THEY HATE ME!
they hate me so much that they are going to send me away!
*aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhggggg* i shouted thru my pillow.
I decided to go outside and head to the dinner table to eat with my family.
the last time I ate dinner with them was a couple of weeks ago. now it felt so weired.
upon entering the room I saw my whole family talking and laughing with whater they are talking about. My family is fun to be with and carefree.
there is my mom, seated beside her is my nephew tam(2years old), beside him is her mom "shell" next to her is my other sister, "nicky".
"EM!" shouted by the little monster tam
"hey tam-tam" I looked at my beloved little nephew then gave him a small kiss in the cheeks. his the only on I kept close to me though out my change.
everyone looked at me a bit shocked to see me.
I guess there no longer used to see me eat dinner with them.
"ohw hey EM! finaly! You decided to eat with us again! " shell said
I just smiled at her as my answer. I don't know what to say anymore.
"i'm happy you finaly decided to eat with us!" my mom said, she looked really happy
"haha. yeah! finaly you decided to get out of your own cage!" nicky said while laughing
I looked at her a bit shocked, this is the first time I heared someone telling me i'm inside my own cage. I did closed all my doors to everyone.
"nicky!" my mom warned my sister
"sorry! but come on mom it's true she locked herself up to her own cage and it's about time to talk to her about it!"
"it's ok ma, i'll need to at least eat my last few dinner with you since your sending me away."
I half shouted half whispered. to my mom with a bit of bitterness in my each words.
no one spoke. guess they are shocked with how I responed
"em, we will talk about this after dinner. now eat up!"
*after dinner*
I'm inside my mom's room. she sleeps hear all alone now since my dad is out of the country for a business trip. most of the time my mom's with my dad but since I locked myself away from people she decided to just stay here.
ohw yeah my dad's a businessman. his american and my mom's a pinay. so yeah i'm half american and half filipino. my sister married one of my dad's friends son. they leave in the US but they are here cause his husband's business. they will be staying for a few more moth's and that's why i'll be staying with my cousin.
I got another nephew. but his with his dad. he liked going to his dad's trip since his old enough he was allowed to go. that's why his not here.
"EM!" my mom said gently disturbing me from my toughts.
I looked at her sadly but giving her a sign to go on with what she want to say.
"em, I don't want to send you away. but i think it's best for you go there for a fresh environment." she looked at me with full of concern.
"I don't know what really happened but you never told anyone of us here or even your friends, you never talked to them or to anybody. it scares me but I think if you want to say it you would but it's not yet the right time"
"NOTHING IS WRONG! I'M FINE!" I shouted at her and run back to my room locking my door.
this is how I reacted to anybody whenever we got to a serious talk.
this is how I avioded people around me.
RUNNING AWAY.
