Serenity's Desire

° Dreams and Nightmares °

Today was Wednesday. I've been stuck in my room since yesterday and i would hear my parents talking mad shit about me. About how much they hate me, hope i get killed or raped and that if i die, they would burn my body.

I blocked them out most of the times but other times, i would cry about it. I wanted to come up with a plan but i don't know where to start. I was currently on the phone with Adam and he was telling me about his job. Basically, he creates simple yet amazing technology to complete hard task.

"You ate already?" he ask me.

"Yeah. I was reading a book before you called."

"What's it about?"

"How to escape from a bad situation."

"Sounds like you're thinking about something." he chuckled.

"I am. I just don't know where to start."

"How about i hel-"

"No Adam. I wanna figure this out by myself. You've been a big help to me already."

"Alright baby. You want any advice?"

"I would love that."

"My number one advice is, wanting less, feels like getting more and dreams don't work unless you do. It might not be useful now but it will be later on. Trust me." he said before coughing.

"Thank you. Are you okay?"

"Yeah." he cleared his throat. "I'm fine."

"Okay." i sighed. "Good."

"Baby I'm gonna call you back. I wanna prepare for this meeting."

"Okay. Love you."

"Love you too babe."

He hung up and i sighed.

I laid back and thought about what i was gonna do because pretty soon, my parents are gonna come up here.

I was currently out in the city finding some place i could live. I thought about buying a home but i would need extra documents that i really don't have and i would have to be of certain age to get them so i settled on a condo.

I walked in the streets of downtown Chicago and looked up at the buildings, just then, Jasper called me.

"Hey." i answered.

"Hey. What's up."

"Searching for an apartment cause sooner, mom and dad are gonna search my room."

"You want help buying it?"

"I'm good."

"How much you want?"

"Jasper i said I'm okay." i spoke.

"Send me your account number so i can send you some money. I'm living with you too."

"Who told you i want you to live with me?" i crossed the road."

"I said so. So make sure you buy something nice."

"Whatever." i rolled my eyes.

"What if we get married?"

"I don't wanna get married. I gotta go." i hung up.

I felt like i was a bit too harsh with him but that question came out of nowhere. It scared me. I was focusing on getting my life together and making money and he was talking about marriage already. This is ridiculous.
