Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 2

Diary Pt. 2

As the sun rises the storm was finally over. A lot of trees and lampposts were knocked down because of the rainstorm that visited their town last night so Ciera's neighborhood was so busy cleaning up except for her, which is still asleep at this hour.

A woman who's in her mid 30's suddenly walked in inside Ciera's house that looks so wasted. Messy hazel brown hair, tomato red face, and a very uneasy walk. From the looks of it, she must be drunk. Slowly, she walked past the living room to get some water in the kitchen. The way she drinks the water out of the water bottle looks like she hasn't drunk any water for years.

After closing the refrigerator door she noticed a paper sticking on it--it was the note written by Cielo, Ciera must've forgotten taking it off. The lady has gone so angry after reading it, she crumpled the paper then threw it on the floor.

"Ciera!" The lady shouted while walking towards the living room and what she saw made her stop. She held on to the couch to remain her balance because she was still feeling so dizzy. She really never have thought that a black labeled drink could make her look like this.

"What the fuck happened here? Ciera! Come down here now!" From angry to furious, seeing all those messes makes her head hurt even more, and her face is turning more reddish than before. It just makes her want to hurt someone right now and by someone, it means her nephews.

Ciera on the other hand just woke up because of the noise. But she just rolled on the other side of the bed and covered her head with a pillow because it's too early for her to wake up.

"Ciera! Come down here now or I'll drag your ass all the way down here." Ciera quickly opened her eyes because that voice seems so familiar to her. She quickly galloped down the stairs and there she saw her aunt standing near the couch with her hands on her waist. She also noticed the unusual aura of her aunt.

"So you're home already... and drunk," their aunt always never tells them where she goes but she always says one thing and that is to never tell their mom about her, drinking and going to parties, "where have you been to though, mom asked about you."

"First of all do I look like I care? And second what in the world is this mess all about?" Ciera realized that their living room is still a mess. She looked back to her auntie which is still waiting for an answer.

"It was raining hard last night... looks like a storm passed by." Her aunt just stared at her and got confused by what she just said because her aunt hasn't noticed that it rained last night.

"Then why haven't you cleaned this up?"

"The power was out last night so I decided to clean this mess today an-"

"But you woke up so late, do you even realize that it's already 11 in the morning?" Her aunt cut her off with her voice getting louder so she just shut her mouth and hurriedly went back to her room because she just can't talk back to her aunt. She locked her room and threw herself on the bed then suddenly she can feel her face getting warm.

She stood up and tears fell down her cheeks so she just wiped it off with her shirt. Suddenly a loud continuous bang was on the door that made Ciera flinch.

"Open this door! I'm not done talking to you, you bitch! How dare you walk away while I was talking huh!" Her aunt looks so furious right now and she knows that the moment she'll open that door a bunch of bruises will be added again to her body. She remembered the last time her aunt beat her up, the large bruise was still in her back. Even though she can fight back, she still won't because it makes her feel bad. That's the reason why Cielo never had been beaten up by their aunt, she always talks and fights back.
