Demons In My Head

Chapter 2

Leati's POV

I was sitting on the couch waiting for breakfast to be done & for my lil sis Abby to come downstairs so I could give her a surprise.

Abby hasn't been out of the house in weeks let alone leave the property,  this curse kills her cause she cant do really anything.

As I heard dad call from the kitchen for me to go see if Abby was awake, I hear a scream come from upstairs, then the sound on glass shattering.

I run up the stairs to Abby's room,  opening the door,  seeing she isn't in there. I hear crying coming from the bathroom down the hall.  I run to the bathroom door,  pounding on the door.

"Abby! You okay!" I scream.

"Abby open the door sis"

As I start to hit the door with my shoulder it doesn't wanna budge so I kick it in breaking the lock,  as I look I see Abigail sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her legs & her eyes shut tight.

I kneel down in front of her,  grabbing her face gently & lightly shake her head "Abby!" I say,  she opens her eyes,  shaking,  looking like she can't see me,  just looks like she's looking right through me

"Abigail!....Abby, look at me!, focus on me sis!"

"Leati....I....I saw them. I saw two of them this time. One was trying to wrap his hands around my head." She says as I pick her up & put her in my lap, hugging her as tight as I can,  I start to say a prayer in Samoan... 

"faamolemole ia tausia atua saogalemu lona, fesoasoani ia te ia e ala i lenei, fesoasoani ia te ia maua le malosi e maua e ala i lenei ma taofia lenei faamolemole atua, amene" 

(This is the prayer that Leati says in Samoan. "please god keep her safe, help her through this, help her find the strength to get through this and stop this please god, amen")

"Your gonna be okay Abby, I promise, I will help you get through this. I'm not leaving your side through this. I'm gonna keep a close eye on you & you need to tell me when you see or feel the episodes starting okay?." I whispered as I kiss her head & pulled her closer to me,  while rocking her back & fourth

"I will Leati" she whispered back as she hugged me , & slowly started to calm down. "I hate when this happens Leati, how do I make em stop?" She whispers "I know you do Abby... I don't know how,  maybe just try to keep your mind at ease,  stay positive" I say while still rocking her back and fourth. 

I heard Abby sigh "It's not that easy though Leati, you know how it is, you've seen what this thing does to me, it drags me down, I mean i could be doing anything and out of nowhere I see something or I get an episode and it scares the hell out of me. I just want it to leave me alone, I've had this stupid fuckin thing for years since i was little and it never leaves, it follows me everywhere I go, I can't even get fuckin close to anybody i care for or want to care for!" she said, well starting to get worked up.

I put my hands on her face, turning her face towards me, "Ab stop, take a breath and look at me, easy, you're gonna make your anxiety go up if you keep getting worked up about this" as she looked at me and started breathing slowly and deep, through her nose and out through her mouth, i started doing it along with her, she started to relax more. 

Abby has always been able to relax more and quicker when I was with her and helped her calm down from one of her episodes. she had laid her head back on my chest, wrapping her arms around me tighter, giving me a tight hug, i hug her back just as tight "Uh Leati your squishing me a little to tight" she says i laugh saying sorry to her as she laughs with me standing up she reaches her hands down towards me helping me get up, I look down to her, she was only 5'5 and me being 6'2 made quiet the difference which was quiet fun, but she was light as a feather. I wiped underneath her eyes wiping the tears from her eyes. I hated seeing her like this, it always killed me seeing her like this. 

"Let's head downstairs Abs and get some breakfast, dad's making it too" I say smiling "Okay let's go" she says, as we head downstairs and into the kitchen to the table I see mom, dad, Colby, and Jonathon sitting there talking. as Colby looks over to us he gets up walking towards us. "there they are, hey beautiful, you okay?" he asks Abby as he hugs her and picks her up "Hey Colbs, yeah I'm okay" she says hugging him back. going and sitting down beside Jon. 

Colby and I look at each other, giving each other each questionable looks, we must have both been surprised when Abby didn't say anything bout Colby calling her beautiful, she's always thought she was ugly and such and every time, the boys, mom, dad, myself or anybody in the family called her beautiful she would freak out on us, i guess she finally got over the fact that no matter how many times she freaked out on us bout it, it wouldn't stop us from calling her beautiful. 

We all sat down for breakfast, dad started dishing out everyone's plate, starting off with mom first then Abby, then Jon, Colby, myself and him last as always.

"Pe ua e afaina laʻu pele?" (English version "Are you okay my dear?") Dad asks her. I look at her and can see her smiling, anytime she had one of her episodes in the morning dad would always talk to her in Samoan, made her feel better, i don't know how, i just know it does from what she said. "Ioe tama Efaraima afaina" (English version "Yes dad i'm okay") I looked back at dad and saw him nod his head and smile. we all looked at each other smiling and finished our breakfast.
