Delirium

Prologue

Having suffered separation anxiety disorder from the very age of 11 ,nightmares and panic attacks have become normal to me .through years of painful experiences I now knew what had to be done to escape my body's own defense mechanism in order to cower away from the scars of past that I revisit now and then .but I don't want to live such a life where every day I anticipate that someone dear to me would leave me or having anxiety that I might end up in some endless night of nightmares followed by insomnia or that I would faint in the most dreaded situations. Only my family and my three best friends know about my condition. To others I have learnt to put up a brave front

I had the best childhood any girl could imagine .being the daughter to a business magnet had its own perks and down roads .my dad loved my mom unconditionally. My elder brothers and i had grown up seeing the eternal love that our parents shared and it had all turned upside down when I lost my mother in an accident. The one who should have died is me and my mom died trying to save me. and in that tender age of 10 I lost my mother. I had witnessed her taking her last breath and she just kissed me on my forehead before her hands dropped from my face. Just my cries and faint memory of sound of the ambulance. Nothing else was registered in my mind until my dad and 3 brothers came there rushing .i had never seen my dad cry he was always happy and cheerful and always used to say that he was the happiest man in the world as long as his wife and his children were with him, it was the first and the last time that he cried. He was clutching her close to him and was crying out loud my brothers holding me and crying. That was the day I lost my happiness. My half, my mother. My dad was never the same .the day my mom died I had lost my mom as well as my dad.

My dad's corporation is now run by my elder brother Chase Salvatore although dad is still the CEO ,Chase is taking most of the major decisions .he is the closest of a father figure that I had after dad immersed himself in his work completely after mom left . He is followed by Chris Salvatore who is also working in the company as an intern .he and I are almost the same.we have the same tastes and I cannot hide anything from him even if I wanted to .he just finished his masters in business studies from Harvard. And the youngest of brothers is Cole Salvatore .he is training to be a doctor and has currently got into med school. Cole is the one who takes care of all my needs and makes me happy by his silly jokes and begging me to introduce him to my hot friends .not saying that my brothers would need an introduction in order to get a date .heck I cant even have dinner with them or go to party with them without interruptions from female populations,although Chase had set a no clubbing policy for me without any of the brothers.but I like the fact that they treat me as a princess even when I was the reason for our mothers death. and the youngest is me .my name is Cara Salvatore and im a senior in friends academy school in new York. I have three best friends Bethany Jennifer and Leah.without whom I would not have lasted a second in my school.

School to me is a place where I find myself closed off from others, knowing that im dying every second inside, I put a bold front in front of everyone. To them im Cara Salvatore the captain of girls cheer-leading squad ,the daughter of one the richest businessman in new York .and the sister to 3 hot brothers . people always wanted to be friends with me not because of my personality but all those things I said earlier. And I'm not that bad looking too.

The way that me and my friends met was during one of my panic attack episodes after my moms funeral .Beth and jen were besties at that time and I was new to school .they had taken care of me and had brought me to sick room since then we were inseparable. Leah had transferred her school from California to new York after her parents got divorced and is currently living with her uncle .Bethany's dad. Leah was pretty cool and we hit it off just as jen and her.
