My Story, My Life

CHAPTER 5

*ARIANA'S P.O.V *

I woke up this morning feeling sore all over my body, I struggled to walk. The pain I am in is unimaginable, I did everything very slowly and I was so tired from no sleep yesterday and all the crying I did, very silenty. I woke everyone up in order, after I took a shower. During breakfast I didn't eat since I had no appetite and there was lack of food today, which could mean less food for a month. I did my morning routine. I didn't want to go to school today but I very much didn't want to stay with my father so I chose to go to school even though I was in a lot of pain.

After everyone had finished eating the little breakfast they had, my father woke up. I couldn't even look him in the eye or look at him at all, I could feel his gaze on me and it felt very uncomfortable, so I just left the kitchen with the Cory and Zory and helped them brush their teeth.

At school I was super quiet and still in pain August kept talking to me  in class but his voice sounded like a distant buzz in my ear. I was thinking about my life and how useless it was, only filled with fear, sadness and unhappiness, yes my siblings and Sarinna make me happy,  but I still felt more fear, sadness and unhappiness than any feelings that make my life worth living.

On the other hand I still had Tory to worry about. Cory is all better now but he has some bruises on his body. The kids won't stop asking about Tory, I haven't told them she is coming out in a approximately a months time, I decided that I wouldn't because that would make them worried and deppresed.

"ARIANA!!!" August got me out of my trance and thoughts. "What?" I asked sounding super annoyed. "Jeez, I just wanted to tell you class is over, what's wrong with you today, you know you can tell me anything."  That was something I would never do because I don't want people to know about my personal problems. "Oh no, I'm perfectly fine. You don't have to worry about me, I'm good." I finished off with a fake smile, that I hoped looked not too fake, even though I wanted to burst out right now and cry, "I'm not fine, I'm sick and tired of life, okay, but there's nothing you could do to help me so never ask me if I'm fine!!!!!" "Ouky but that doesn't mean I believe you, call me if you need anything." "Sure."

After school I went to the hospital to go check on Tory. When I got there, ther was a detective that came to ask about Tory's injuries. I told him that she fell down the stairs, hoping he believed me I crossed my fingers behind me. "So you are telling me this happened because she fell down the stairs?" Nodded my head yes. "There are no problems at home, like an abusive family member?" I wanted to tell him the truth, this was my chance at finally being free from my father. "No, there are no problems sir, we are a big happy family, Tory here was walking when she missed a step on the stairs and she fell." What?? Why did I lie? I didn't mean to, my mouth was just saying anything but my brain wanted to expose my father.

He said he would be coming back with more questions, this time for my mother and father too. I wished I had just exposed him, now what am I gonna do???

Tory was no better than yesterday but at least she was still breathing. She didn't open her eyes or move at all, I was beginning to freak out so I called a nurse. She said Tory had a chance of being blind and never seeing and, I felt like my heart had been taken away from me for ten seconds. "Why did you not tell me this when I got here or when the policeman went away like half an a hour ago. What is your problem, what is everyone's problem. You didn't even bother to tell me this?!!!"

"I was told not to tell you first, I was supposed to tell your parents. But since they haven't come, I decided to tell you. I'm very sorry, but there is still a chance of her seeing again, okay? Don't lose hope."

Why had this not happened to me, Tory is just a child, how will she react when she woke up and saw nothing, the pain she is going through and she will be going through is unimaginable. I then broke down into tears, I couldn't keep them in anymore, I had to let them go.

The nurse was trying to soothe me but I couldn't stop. "Darling how old are you??"

"I'm fifteen" I said trying to stop crying. "Where are your parents, they didn't even come once to check little missy here?" Should I tell her? No, I lied to the policeman so I should also lie to the nurse. "They are still going to come but not now, they are on a trip to somewhere far and it will take them a long time to get back since they are not taking a plane back, they are afraid of planes after three of my family members were on a plane and it crashed, one survived but lost his leg and arm, the others.... You know, they died." I had to make something up on the spot and that was all I had.

"Oh, what a shame, who are you living with now??"

"My aunt."

"As long as you are safe, I'm happy, now stop crying, go home and clean yourself up." I did as I was told and left her with a big hug and a thank you.
