Fallen

Chapter 22

I got out of the house as quickly as I could. I went for a walk because there was no way I could deal with everything I was going through. I needed to clear my mind from all those thoughts I was drowning in.

I got into a club that I didn't even know it was there but I couldn't care less. I ordered a drink, the strongest drink they had. Luckily, that guy didn't care much about my age so I was given the drink I had asked for.

I sat there thinking how everything got fucked up. It was dark when I decided to get the hell out of that club. I would swear everyone in there was drugged but I didn't give a damn fuck about anyone but my stupid interest in the people who had destroyed my life, including Liam.

I took the way home. I just needed to get some sleep wishing to forget everything, push a button and turn back time the next morning.

Finally I was close to my home. This was the longest walk in my life. I entered the building I lived in and decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator. As I was walking up the stairs, I checked on my phone for any calls or text messages but nothing. It's not like anyone would call me as no one had never cared about me and I realised it the past few hours.

Deep inside I knew it but I didn't want to admit it. Nobody could care less about me. I was a big nothing to everyone, even my very own family.

I lifted my head because I felt like throwing up but when I did, I wasn't sure If I was dreaming or not. Maybe it was the alcohol rushing through my veins.

There was standing Jane.

"Well well well! What a surprise! Kathie! How are you feeling, honey? Are you fine after the accident you've been in, love?" The sarcasm in her voice was irritating.

"Don't call me any of these! I'm not your child! Alisa is. If you want to kill someone, kill her. I don't give a shit. And if you're free now, she's home. Kill her now or tomorrow or whenever the fuck you want." I was so pissed. I couldn't think clear.

"Don't try to pull that game on me. You're just saying this because you don't want me to kill you. You are my child."

"I am not. See though me, read my mind. Do something. Aren't you a witch anyway?!"

Her eyes turned into a shade of pitch black. She got closer to me, leaving a very small gap between us.

An inch separated our faces. I had to admit that I was a little afraid but I couldn't back away. I couldn't move. I realised that she was reading my mind.

After a while she backed away and I let out a deep breath I didn't even know I was holding in.

She was clearly upset. Maybe she understood that I was only telling her the truth.

"You're telling the truth!"

"You'd say so?! I cried for her when she died but then she came back to life. Kill her if you want. Do whatever you want!"

I looked at her with so much hate but I couldn't stand there forever. I turned around walking away.

I couldn't go at my apartment as I knew Alisa was there. I went to Liam's. I had no choice.

"Liam?!"

"In the kitchen!" His voice was so angelic. What?! No! Why did I just say that?! I'm not drinking again.

I went straight to the kitchen.

"Hey." I tried to smile but when I saw him cook I couldn't do anything but stare at him.

"Hey. Who were you talking to outside? I heard voices." His smile was visible.

"I was talking with Jane!"

"No you weren't. C'mon really?!" I could tell he was freaking out.

"I was. Really."

A giggle fell from my mouth at his reaction.

"Are you drunk?" I wasn't sure but I noticed a hint of concern in his voice.

"Nooo! Why would you say that?! I'm fine! By the way, Jane is going to kill Alisa. Not a big deal, though."

"What?! What did you say to Jane?"

"Everything she had to know. I told her that Alisa is her child. I don't care if she kills her anyway."

"You know that's not true! She's your sister!"

"Liam! You don't understand! All these years, I've been growing up, knowing that my mother has died. And all this because of her! Because they wanted her to be happy. Nobody cared about how I felt. Still! Nobody cares about me." I couldn't control my anger nor my voice at that point. I knew I didn't have to talk about Alisa like that.

"Yeah okay! But you don't have to talk about Alisa like this!" Damn right Liam. Tell me what to do one more time and I'll shove your head into the sink and leave you there to drown.

But of course I can't do that. You see, you're a vampire and I'm just me. A nothing.

"Liam! You don't understand! None of you does! Nobody cares anyway!"

I wanted to say more and his silence encouraged me to continue.

"Since we were little, Alisa was always the centre of attention! I was just a big nothing to everyone. Even my own family. Why?! What do I do wrong?!" I was on the verge of tears. No I couldn't cry in front of him. He would think I was just an over dramatic school girl. A pathetic crazy girl.

But wait. Since when do I care about what Liam thinks of me?! I don't, do I?

"Kathie.."

"Don't wanna hear it. Leave me alone!"

I went straight to Liam's bedroom. There was no way I could take any more fighting with Liam.

I closed the door behind me, determined to let it all go and let my head clear by getting some sleep...
