The story of my life (wattys2019)

Chapter 30

After the little incident, Margaret and Charlie became more responsible about the kids and the created time for them, no more coming home late, more family time and prayer. Each time they gathered to pray, I always refused, I didn't want to waste my time praying to a non existing God.

Everything was going well, except for my occasional nightmare and the feeling to cut, but I was okey. I took part of the responsibility over the kids, like been a role model, a perfect example for them when they were around, I use the appropriate language and behave correctly.

The house was in peace but I was not fully obedient though, and was still a brat.

We were at peace till that night I had a vision.

I got ready to go to bed that night, the roof was pretty windy, people could hear the faint roar of the sky announcing the storm. I hated when it rain, it was always a bad time for me, it reminded me of Anthony's beating, some how when it rain Anthony is more scary and brutal towards me. I never knew why, maybe he wanted to act more like the beast he was.

I slip in my cover facing the closed window, I watch as drops of rain, slid down the window and the blue light from the lighting flashed.

I closed my eyes and drift to darkness. Everything was perfect, I was in an endless darkness, no dream, nothing.

Then I blink my eyes and began to see a faint light, all of a suspend, I saw a small black figure in the deem room, it was curled in a ball sobbing. I tried all my possible best to see the figure's face but I couldn't. The lightening strike at the same time the door was bursted open making the smaller figure flinch and cringe to the wall, a bigger figure matched in with something in his hand, it looked more like a rope, but I wasn't sure. I tried as hard as I could, and caught a glimpse of the bigger figure's light brown eyes. Then he hit the smaller figure who screamed out.

I jerk awake in confusion, who was that figure and who is the bigger figure? Brown eyes? Light brown eyes, it can't be Anthony, oh no, it can't be him. It is a vision or a dream? I was deeply confused and scared. Will Anthony find me?

Three days after my dream, things took a different turn, like someone was after my happiness.

"Alex!" Margaret called from downstairs.

I was all ready for school, I jogged the stairs to the kitchen where she was preparing breakfast, we weren't best of friends, there was still a big barrier between us.

"Can you help me with the kids?" She asked.

"I guess," I left for the kids room they were already dressed, just needed some little help.

"Hi, Lexy can you help me with my hair?" Dania walked to me with her ribbon.

"Of curse princess." I set her on her little dresser, I combed her hair and tied it in a neat ponytail. I wasn't a girl but mama use to tie my hair in ponytails when I was younger. I then helped dani with his hair and shoe after a big fight. We all walk downstairs, for breakfast in which Charlie was present.

Margaret dropped me in school and my day started. I grab my stuff from my locker and there was Jeremy trying to talk to me, but as always I slam my locker and walked away. I attended all my classes not before having some little dispute with some dudes, finally my detention.

I Walked in the silent hall planning about my evening, I opened my locker, put some stuffs in, and was about to leave but a little paper sticking out of my biology book caught my attention. I reach for it with curiosity.

"You can't escape your fate, I'll always find you, and you shall be punished."
