I WAS THAT GIRL

Chapter two

       After my little episode, I had and the whole day of crying, I decided to go home and pack my things. I stumbled into my room tears still flowing down my cheeks, I didn't care if I ran out of tears or became dehydrated any more; it didn't matter it's not like anyone cared. Well except for Ms. Lavisteky.

       "Adelina, Adelina, where are you and stop ignoring me, because I know that you're here." Shouted, Carly, with her screechy voice, which just happens to be the last thing I wanted to hear.

    Unwillingly, I got up off the bed and slowly headed down stairs. I didn't want to see here now, but I still need closure before I leave, you know just in case she dies. 

       "What do you want Carly?" I spat once I was in her line of view. Just like always my sister had this perfect body that every guys, wanted to be with, and every girls wanted to be. I never really got why though. Why people so desperately wanted to be so thin, that if you a little wind came, they would blow away. Every time I see my sister skip a meal just so she won't ' have more calories, than she needs in one day' how do people even keep tab on how many calories goes in to someone's body if you're not a doctor. 

       "Why did you leave school, it's so unlike you to skip." She flashed her white teeth, smiling like she has something on me. I'm too old to play this game with her now so I ignored the smile and strode towards the kitchen, to get something to eat before I leave. 

       "Look, whatever you want to say, you have about thirty minutes before, my taxi get here to pick me up, so say what you want." I picked up the jam from the fridge and started spreading it around my bread once my statement was out there for Carly. 

      "Where are you going? And by that I mean you can't go anywhere, because I don't know if you noticed, but last time I checked, I was still your legal guardian," she spat taking, a threatening step towards me, that is in her case it is supposed to scare me.  

      "Ya, and last time I checked you helped everyone in my school, bully me while you watched, wait let me phrase that in a different way, and you laughed, while they beat me senseless," I said playing her game. I was never afraid of her just too naïve to fight back, and now that she's asking for it why not. 

       "And where exactly are you going, if I let you that is," she challenged obviously not ready to give up yet. She was determined to ruin my life, and I have no idea why, nor do I care anymore I just wanted to leave this town, and never look back, but either ways she obviously knows what she is doing.  

     "Wherever I want," I said challenging her. She wanted to play the villain right? Then I guess to beat a villain, you just have to be a better villain. She let out a dry chuckle and slowly proceeded towards me. I stood my ground to let her know, that I was done being afraid of her. Once she got about a foot away, she stopped and started giving me a deathly glare. If only she knew I was already dead on the inside; from all of the abuse here and all her friends endured on me; So this stare she is now delivering me has no effect, and I was not in a mood to remind her of that, If she was really willing to stop me from going, just so I could be her punching bag, than I have some little tricks up my sleeve. 

         "You can't go, so I suggest you go upstairs and unpack," she announced before tuning her fatigue figure around and taking a step back to leave the kitchen. She had a million dollar smile that every guy in our school fell for plastered on her face, when she reached the fridge and opened it. Waited, until she had some liquid in her mouth, which she could choke on, before I spoke. 

        "So, that means you don't mind going to court, when I call the police and tell them all the things you did to me?" I asked surprising both me and her by my bravery. I never was the type to say what happened to me, and maybe just maybe, I might be bluffing.  

                "YOU WOULNT?" she spat. I just smiled and went passed her to finish my things before the taxi came, "Oh, and since you are so concerned about my wellbeing," I added over my shoulder. "I'm going to stay with grandma, and if you even as try to do anything, grandma knows what you did and she will as hell sue you," I threatened.

So maybe, I was lying when I said that. There was no way my grandmother would press charges, but I had to say something. Carly did not bother saying anything after that, I mean not that I cared but I still wanted to see if she would try to stop me. I made it up to my room, and started the process from earlier. Once I was half way finished packing I got up to go into my closet to get some more, stuff to put into my bag when I came across a picture of me and my parents with Carly sitting on dads lap and me on moms. Tears started spilling out of my eyes without my notice. I didn't care at this point. Nor did I want to care ever. All that mattered now is that mom is gone,dad is gone, and I'm left with a sister who hates me. I get it, why shouldn't she? I'm all fat and ugly in her eyes so, why should she hate. Carly is all so skinny and the dead image of my dease4sed mother, gorgeous and lovable, I on the other hand is a flap jack who would, go in to a comma is if got an A- on a test. Non of those beauty things mattered to, nor will they ever, I loved being me the fat girl,with a straight A and a 4.9 GPA.

Wiping off my never ending tear, I got up the floor and went back to my suitcase and put the picture on the top of my clothes. My tears didn't stop though and I was thankful for that. I'm a tear pron in this world and that is the only thing that comforted me.

“Okay, I'm leaving my cab is here, and …........ I-” I dint know what to say to my own sister who's has been nothing but a mortal enemy to me. How could some one so cruel still have someone to care for them. I thought as some tears sprinted to my eyes. I didn't want to say bye to my sister. Sure she did abuse me for the past god knows how long and sure things were terrible between us, but the fact that she is my sister doesn't change.

“When are you going to come back,” she asked finally finding the courage to look me in the eye. I didn't answer. I didn't know what to say to her at this point. She got off the front porch and started coming towards me. I held my breath hoping she was going to say anything. I didn't want to hear any more.

“I'm really sorry Adelina, I know I should have been there for you when mom and dad died, but the pain of losing them was so strong and I shouldn't taken it out on you.” walking up to me, she concluded her speech.

I need to get out of her now, I need a proper mourn for my parents death and right now the best way to do that is to leave this place behind.

Thats when my cab pulled up and I headed towards it, with my mind racing with so many questions and thoughts. Carly walked up to me and wrapped me in her arms. I stood there stunned did she just hug me.

“I lost mom and dad, I don't want to loose you too,” she sobbed in to my neck. I guess they were right you don't know what you have until you loose it. I untangled myself from her and got in the car before I could regret it. However, I dint miss the tears on Carly's eyes.
