After my shower, I had to go back home. That is the last place I really hate going. I would rather get bitten by a snake than going back to that house, but I only go back for my little brother. As I sneak back in the house I lay down next to my little brother, and start to cuddle with him. It was all for him I am still in this world because I don't want him to suffer like me. He starts to wake up, but it is adorable when he starts to wake up because he shakes his leg like a dog.

"Good Morning handsome, how did you sleep tonight?" I asked as I looked into his tired eyes.

"Good, did you wake up early again?" he asked.

"Yes, but I think I am going to go back to sleep I am tired. I am sorry I won't be able to play with you Disney Infinity," I apologized as I yawned.

"No, but you promised me," He said with his adorable puppy dog eyes.

"Okay fine, fine you win I will play with you Ray." Once I said that he got up out of the bed and ran to the living room.

"Ha, I won this time," I finally won after who knows like the hundredth time I

have tried.

*Buzzz Buzzz*

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Ray asked all curious.

"Because I want to spend time with my handsome young man," Just kidding I know who is calling me and I just want to avoid people who are all 'caring about me.'

"It is okay you can answer I don't mind," he looked at me seriously this was all too suspicious to me it didn't feel to normal for my brother to let me answer a phone call. I looked at him for a long time until he would feel very uncomfortable.

"What do you want? All I said was you can answer your phone," He was starting to feel very uncomfortable he was fidgeting with his fingers.

"Tell me why are you actually letting me answer my phone?" I said in a very serious tone.

"Because your phone is annoying me it is very annoying can you please just answer it-."

"HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT WASN'T BECAUSE YOU WERE OKAY WITH IT," Ray's face was so red he looked like a tomato.

"So how can you answer the phone? It is still buzzing," He looked so annoyed.

I finally caught my breath and walked out of the living room and to my room as I started to check my phone. I had ten miss calls from Samuel and twenty different messages. I still didn't want to answer the phone with all the different messages my brother sent me.

*Buzzz Buzzz*

Okay, maybe I should answer it, "Hel-"

"WHAT THE HELL DUDE DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES DID I CALL YOU AND TEXTED YOU? WHY THE FUCK DON'T YOU ANSWER THE PHONE I MEAN THAT IS WHAT IT IS USED FOR I MEAN WHY ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE A PHONE?"

"Are you done? Do you really want to start this conversation screaming? I mean I am pretty sure you know what happens when someone screams at your TWIN you know what happens," I was clenching my teeth.

"I am sorry it is just I was really worried. I mean you are my sister why else would I not be worried you didn't even answer my phone call nor my texts. So can we talk like two normal people who have feelings even though one of us is trying to be a strong person even though they do have feelings somewhere down there," Samuel  was trying to convince me but why would I tell him? Just to keep him more worried?

"No... I am sorry but no I don't want to talk, just forget." I said in a serious tone.

"Fine, but today just don't run away okay?"

"Fine," I hung the phone and went to sleep.

"She has anger in her eyes and she pulls my hair so I could see her face. It is all blurry I can't get all her facial features, oh wait it is my sister? 'You want to eat you pig okay well here is your food,' she said as she dragged my head to the floor where the plate of food was at. 'Come on this is all you know what to do. Lick the floor clean too since you can not even eat well, all you can do is eat like a pig.' I had to do what she said if I didn't then there would be consequences. As I was done liking the floor clean she grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the restroom. 'Come on pig get in the shower,' she said still holding on to my hair tightly. I got in the shower and she started to turn the faucet to cold water only. I am not complaining it felt nice the freshwater dripping on my skin. Then she turned off the water and dragged me to the only room we have in the apartment. 'Change your clothes and hang the wet ones in the restroom.' She said as she left I felt relief that she was gone."

Finally, that dream was over I don't want to remember it anymore. I looked for my phone and checked the time. It was early enough for me it was six o'clock at night.

I go out to the living room and I see my dad hasn't come home yet, so I go to the room and start to draw. When I was drawing I realized I was drawing the man in the black clock again. I can't believe how much I try to push it away it comes to my mind. I still can't picture it a man with no face to be seen just a black cloak floating around like if there was a ghost in it.

"Finalmente, ya no estas dormida o echada en esa cama. Y ese milagro?" (Translation: Finally, you're not asleep or lying in that bed anymore. And that miracle?) My father was being sarcastic, as he was walking to the restroom. I just couldn't wait till everyone fell asleep so I would be able to get out of this house and go to the other house.
