Jade watched as Carlos,drove away speedily. She could açtually feel the anger oozing,out of him and couldn't feel any more sorry.
Maybe I overreacted,afterall..She made a mental note to apologize to him properly,anytime she gets the chance.

As wisps of stubborn hair entered her eyes,she climbed the few stairs that led to her room,and immediately thought of her brother.

Ah that cunning boy,gave her such joy..
A smile gently travelled across her lips,and she reached for her phone.

Mmmhhh...maybe he was in class,and she didn't want him to panic because of her,and get into trouble.

He's okay..No need to worry,about an almost bearded young guy right?She kept on reassuring herself.

Urrrgghh I need some meds..Jade suddenly realized.
Brushing,her hands through her hair, she felt her body perspiring.She knew all too well..

Getting unnecessarily upset, made her sick everytime,and arouses bad memories,that were stored in her mind.Slapping Carlos,had awakened an anger vein in her,and it's repercussions were ugly..
Memories..a sharp pain shot through her,and she grabbed the end of a closer sofa,for support.

She could see the memories. Feel them actually..All rushing in at once,battered and hurting.
They were threatening to rip her head apart.

Jade had her eyes shut closely now,trying to bar the images from eating her up.

She felt a slice of pain,as she saw the image of her dad,when he'd  come home drunk once,and slit her arm,with a knife,he was using to stomp the floor.

"Thump..thump..thump!!
'Stop it Daddy!She'd shouted at him,as he walked in from town all soaked,and baptized with the all too powerful smell, of equally strong gin.

His hands were bleeding,and he had a knife tucked between them.This he was using to stab the tiled floors,in a sick attempt to root them out.

Jade had been up at night,waiting for his return . She'd Kerry safely laid up,in bed when he arrived.
It was amazing,the love she showered on her lil brother,even though she had no one,to show her even half of it..one would have thought,Jade would only know hate,and treachery..but Kerry made her heart,softer.

As she approached Milan,in an attempt to stop his drunken  madness, he shoved her away and slit her arms, with the sharpened knife.

Her head winced,as she remembered crying out,and swallowing the sound,for fear of waking Kerry up.
"Dont ever come near me!Milan had screamed at her,as he stumbled,fell, and hugged the damp floor.

"Your mother was a wicked witch,and her kids are bound to give me badluck too! Jade's  tears were welling up,like tumours,as she heard her dad's hurting words.

Biting her tongue,she'd gone quietly into her room,to complete the
teary war, that was beginning to fire up inside her.

During her Dad's last days,Jade started to feed on meds,to cause her brain to relapse,so she could have a good night's sleep.

Such a shame,that one's parents would be the cause of their child's mental breakdown..

As if that wasn't enough, Milan had done something..something only Jade could fix..A sickening memory,that made her stomach churn,and turn..
But someone had to do it..and that someone was her..
