Catching Us

CHAPTER 1

I stood up and started walking towards my mansion. I smiled inwardly.  Today I can't keep this smile off of my face. I always wanted to be an Undercover Cop. That's a lot of fun. For me at least! My dad was an undercover cop too. He used to work in SHED. It was my dream. Tomorrow I'm also joining SHED as a senior officer.

I don't know why they chose me as a senior officer. But they said I'm the perfect candidate for the post. Maybe its because of my training on different arts of fighting. Maybe its my grades. My grades were always pretty good. So I won't get surprised if its for my grades.

When I entered my house, loud music blasted from the gym. I stopped & thought for a second. Should I go & say hello? Maybe they won't like it.. but no harm in trying right?

I slowly walked towards the gym. The door of the gym was wide open. I walked into the room silently & scanned the room for two familiar faces. Then I saw them.

My elder brother Jayson Davis & my elder sister Cecillia Davis. Jay was lifting weights & Ceci was stretching. They're laughing about something. I smiled at the sight of them being happy. Though I'm not a part of it. Not anymore..

"Good morning." I said smiling.

Their head snapped towards me & their smile vanished. Ceci's expression turned into utter disgust & she looked away. I  swallowed hard. Jay stood up immediately & threw the hand curls across the room. It landed on the farthest corner of the room with a loud thud.

I winced as Jay approached towards me. His face red with anger.

"What are you doing here?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Jay its okay. Calm down, I'm going. I'm sorr-"

"Its okay? You mean to say what happened years ago is freaking okay? YOU caused everything. & now what? You want anyone of me & Ceci end up like that too?" Jay cut me off before I could finish.

I felt a heavy pain in my chest. I tried to avoid the pain. "Jay no, I didn-"

"What do you want?" He again cut me off.

"Jay-"

"Get lost or I'll smash you. Run before I lose control."

I stared at him, shocked. What happened Jay? Why did you guys changed? Do you really hate me that much? Don't you trust me? Didn't you ever?  I wanted to ask but couldn't form any word.

"Jay calm down. Let her keep her life. She's not worth it. & You-" Ceci said to Jay & then turned towards me. "-go away little bitch. You're making the air poisonous."

This time I couldn't hold back my tears. They rolled down freely. Why is that the people you love most always hurt you the worst way? I heard people say life is painful without a family. But do they know how awful is the feeling when you have your own family but feel like you don't? When they treat you like another piece of shit.. It kills you, everyday. & in the end, you lose count of how many times you've died. Physical death is the full stop of all pain. But when you start dying mentally, Nothing can be worse than this. Mentally you can die millionth time & each time, its more painful & intolerable than before.

No. They don't know any of it.

"Didn't you hear her? Why are you still standing here? GET OUT!" Jay yelled.

I dropped my gaze to the floor & nodded before running out of the room. I saw our maid Windy standing near the staircase. She gave me a sad smile.

"I'm sorry dear. I'm so sorry." She said.

"Its okay Windy, you don't need to apologize." I managed to give her a small smile. Then I ran upstairs & locked myself in my room.
