My SISTER is a MURDERER

Chapter 7

"Hi! Sweetie." He put his head around the seat and a bright smile covered his face. "I think i have so much catching up to do."

"You think?" I mumbled under my voice and started playing a game my phone. Hale gave me a bump and a 'just-be-cool' look so i just kept quiet after that.
Zoda had a lot of questions though, she and Antonio wouldn't stop talking. After all he was her favourite parent. She was happy for once in her life.

When we reached home, i went to my room and closed the door. I thought about Hale and Hayden and dad, Zoda and Hayden, my mom and Antonio, Karim and myself being lonelier than ever.

I sighed as i heard a knock on my door, "Are you okay honey?"

"Yeeeaahhsss mooom." I answered lazily. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

"Honey i have to worry," she opened my door and came inside. "I'm sorry about your dad, i had no idea that he would show up at my office. I..." mom tried to explain but i cut her off.

"It's not about Antonio. I wouldnt ruin this for Hale."

"Is it a boy?" she curiously asked.

"Mom. No!" i looked at her.

"What is it about?"I didn't answer her. "Liberty, we used to be best of friends. What happened?"

"Maybe that happened!" I shouted angrily. "And i don't want to talk about it. I want to be alone, please?" i added before mom could answer.

There was a moment of silence."What's wrong in there?" I heard Antonio's voice. He opened the door when he heard no answer.

"It's okay." Mom said as i got up and to walk pass her and dad out of the room.

"Stop! Right! There, young lady!" He startled me. I turned and stared, confused by him. He continued speaking, "what's the problem?" Expecting an answer from me. I gave a grave look from him to my mother then to him and walked out without caring.

"Antonio, I'll handle it..."My mom said before he came after me.

They stayed in there talking after i left. There were still a lot of unanswered questions like why is he showing up now? I went to the bathroom to have some alone time. I texted Zoda like everything was okay though. She kept telling me about the guy she was crushing on but i was just too upset to pay much attention to the texts. 30 minutes passed and i was still in the bathroom. To me, it was the perfect place of privacy, serenity and a place where i could allow my thoughts to float..off the surface.

A few seconds after, i came out. "I had no idea that you were so selfish." Hale's voice hit me in the face.

I was shocked and more rage was building up inside of me.

"And you wonder why you wont ever be happy..."she said and added," it's because of your selfishness!"

I didn't say anything. Instead i went to my room blaming myself for no understandable reason, except the fact that i couldn't take it anymore and i never asked for help. I grabbed a towel out of my drawers, undressed myself and wrap it around me then went back into the bathroom. I took a long shower hoping all the feelings could wash away from my body down into the drains.
That night i cried, helplessly and silently.

I missed who i was before and scared of who i was becoming. (nov.26)

Waking up to the sound of music made me feel light and well slept. I roll over on my back with my eyes closed for a moment. A headache started erupting through my mind when i remembered what happened lastnight. "Forget, already Liberty." I ordered myself in my head which continued to hurt. I checked my phone. I hadn't received any messages but remembered Zoda and i had plans in the afternoon. The sudden urge of wanting to urinate forced me to get up to do so. It was about 5a.m. so i assumed that everyone was asleep or at least still in bed because of the stillness of the air. I decided to take an hour morning exercise. Changing into a track pants and sweater and running shoes, i then got my earphones and came out of the house quietly. I walked out into the drive way while plugging in my earphones and choosing a song.
