EMILY

"EMMY, WAKE UP ITS SATURDAY! WE'RE GOING OUT FOR THE BREAKFAST!" Melly screeched trying to wake me up. I don't know why people love disturbing my sleep.

"Hmmmm hmm."

"You've been hmmming since like 15 minutes now! Get up or else you know what I can and will do." She warned me, I could see her smirk.

I groaned and turned away from her hugging another pillow.

"Okay then, don't tell me I didn't warn you." I heard her walk away, sighing in relief. I snuggled more into the pillow.

I felt something tingling on my feet, which felt like fingers. Its moving up to my calf and now my knee an-

WAIT WHAT!!!!!

"AAAHHHHHH!!! GET THAT SHIT OUTTA HERE OR I SWEAR I'LL SMACK IT WITH MY BED LAMP!!! MELLY!!!!!!!! MOM!!!!! HELP ME." I screamed on top of my lungs, when I realized her hideous spider was the thing on my leg.

I absolutely hate spiders. I asked my mom to warn Melly to throw it out but mom agreed with Melly when she showed how useful it can be to wake me up. Why am I even living here, when no one cares about me!

"Alright... STOP SCREAMING.. He isn't gonna eat you, he'll die before you kill him because of how horrific you sound when you scream." she shouted.

"He probably hasn't seen himself in a mirror." I said, she rolled her eyes and walked out with the creature.

Once my heartbeat was back to normal, I ran into the washroom.

I glanced at myself in the mirror, I had my tank and shorts on, looking like a retarded monkey.

I looked at my wrist which showed me almost healed bruises, which were endowed by James a week ago.

After getting ready for the breakfast, I grabbed my essentials walking to the living room.

"Oh my dear, Emily" My dad, pulled me into a protective hug and kissed my forehead. Its been a while since I've last seen him.

"Dad, I missed you" I replied, hugging him back. As we walked to the front door not leaving each other.

I know its hard for him to keep up with us and the work at the same time. I never complain about it to them but I do feel bad when mom and dad aren't around for long.

"Emily, my sleepyhead" My mom gave me a weak smile,waiting by the car. I resisted the urge to ask her if she was ok. She didn't seem to be ok.

"Let's go, honey" My dad replied sitting inside and I followed him and sat in between the oh-so-lovely twins.

We reached at the restaurant within the next 10 minutes, Mom and dad stayed silent except for us three talking about the college and stuff. I don't even know why mom and dad seem to look worried about something.

"Anything else sir?" The waitress asked.

"If anything, we will let you know. Thank you" Dad replied as she walked away smiling at us.

After we all were done eating the pancakes and over with our milkshakes. Melly and Danny engaged themselves to their 50 ball Pool or whatever game.

I have to ask them if everything is ok.

"Mom, Dad." I grabbed theirs hands in mine looking at them intently.

"Everything okay, Emma?" My mom inquired with concern.

"Yeah, are you okay? Someone tried to harm you or something?" My dad blurted receiving a deadly glare from my mom, gesturing him to shut up.

"No its not about me. It's just that.. You two look really stressed and worried. It's making me uncomfortable to see you guys like this, please tell me what's wrong?"

"Emily, you should be focusing on your studies and its your exam tomorrow isn't it?" my mom tried calming me by rubbing the back of my hand gently.

I looked at my dad, I felt like he wanted to say something but was holding himself back.

"Mom, but if you two are not gonna say what's wrong, I won't be giving my best performance tomorrow."

"Emma it's no-"

"It is. She is our daughter and grown up now. She can know." My dad spoke, interrupting my mom.

My mom gave him another glare but my dad ignored her.

"Daniel, would you and Melanie mind going out for a ride" he searched for the car keys and handed it to Daniel. They both looked excited and walked out saying 'call me when you want us back'.

My dad turned completely to my side.

"Ok, so me and your mom, when we came back from the meeting in Chicago last weekend. I had an emergency case, I had to rush to the hospital directly from the airport and look after the 55 year old man who got a heart attack but survived." he took a sharp breath whilst my mom wrapped her hand around his arm.

"yesterday, he got another attack and died on the spot. And now his son blames us for murdering him and filed a case against us. Though we tried our best. I never left his side for 2 days because his condition was critical.... But.." His eyes were moist while tears were rolling down my moms cheeks leaving me dumbfounded.

"People forget doctors are humans too and not God." My mom sobbed, I felt my vision go blurry due to the tears.
"What does he want from us." I said, wiping off my now falling tears.

"He wants Aaron, to surrender to something he haven't done, or else his family would have to face the worse consequences." My mom sobbed, receiving a kiss from my dad who was trying to stay calm and calm her down as well.

And now that hit my nerve.

"How dare he..." I felt like a fricking fire breathing dragon. If I was my dad I would have shut the daylight out of his life.

"Honey, please don't stress yourself... Your finals are here.." She trailed off and started crying again.

"I'm really sorry you have to face this with us. I'll make sure its not distracting you." She wiped her tears as I walked up to her giving her a tight hug when she hugged me back and dad engulfed us.

I will bring the smile and happiness back to their lives.
