Amnesia

CHAPTER 15

"WHERE WERE YOU?! " mom screamed as soon as I reached home.

"Just having dinner with a friend. " I answered in a monotone.

"With a guy?! Late at night?! "

"A girl, mom. Cassie."

"Yeah, right. " She flinched.

"Mom, I'm in no mood to bicker with you tonight. Let me get some sleep, okay?" It's true. I am tired and I barely cover my swollen eyes. I hate crying so much.

"Sleep? You're tired? I really don't think you we're going out with a girl. What are you now? A whore? Please don't bring shame to this family again! Having you in this family is already embarrassing for me! " she screamed and woke dad up. He went outside of the room and stared at my plain face. But, he didn't said anything. In fact, he smirked at me.

"What did I ever do to you? " I lowered my breath.

"You?" She stepped closer to me "You were born in this family. That's what you did. " her chest rose and fell and I could feel the tense from her. She was angry. I met her eyes and all I could see was...

Hate.

She hates me. So much I couldn't explain it. Her light brown eyes became dark and there was no light. Only flame.

"Goodnight. " I said as I ran upstairs and locked my door.

"Always lock the door! I regret having you! In! My! Life! " mom screamed at my door and I slid down to my knees and hugged them tight. I cried again. Again, again and again until I feel the pain in my chest.

No, not at this time. Please.

But my prayers wasn't answered by God and maybe he just keep it as a draft.

I cringed.

It so painful. I couldn't get up and all I could do was cry. My tears fell like a smooth river and my body fell on the floor. I looked out to my opened window and I saw a figure climb in from the opposite room into mine. He looks like James.

He went in my windows and caught his breath. Though, I think the distance between his room and mine was just a tree away.

He was kneeling beside me and put my head on his chest. Then, he turned his position to cup my cheek while I'm lying down.

"Baby, I know you're hurting and I'm sorry because I'm one of the reason why. Breathe and sleep, love. You're strong. "

And by his voice who I thought was just dream, I started to control my breath, the pain still stabbing me mercilessly and my tears still falling out. He planted a kiss on my cheek and forehead before lifting me up and setting me on the bed.

"Sleep tight baby. It's been a tough day for you. "Softly he said before he started to sob softly. But by then, I already fell asleep.

*morning*

I woke up with a headache.

Ouch.

I grunted and pushed myself out of the bed.

Wait, bed? I thought I passed out on the floor?

I went to the spot where I passed out last night and there was nothing there.

Of course there was nothing there, Roe. What do you expect? Blood?

But when I checked my clothes, I was in my pajamas. I don't remember anything about changing my clothes.

Oh my God, yesterday was hella weird.

So, I took a cold shower in the cold morning because I want the coldness to send chills down my spine so that I could forget about everything immediately. It works every time.
