Twisted Hearts

Chapter 1

"Oh what the fuck? ", I groan stretching my hand to stop the alarm blaring right beside me, I roll to the side to continue my disrupted sleep when it all hit me "oh fuck,its my first day!! " I exclaimed before rushing out of bed but as terrible as my luck is, I stumbled and fell, yup face flat on the hard floor *cue the eye roll and tons of cuss words*.

Ok,so today is the day I finally leave home for college, been waiting my whole life for this day, the day I finally gain my freedom.. Why am I so happy? Its cos I've never really been out, I'm always indoors no time to party and all high school fun but now I'm getting the chance to so fuck yea I'm happy even though I'm gonna miss my mom and my lil brother if I think of the beating and kicking his cute 3year old gives me, maybe not much but I still love him and my DAD, don't get me wrong I like him but we don't really get along well.

You might be thinking "a 3year old brother? " yea, my brother and I have a huge age difference because mum had some delay.. It sucked to be the only child, no one to play or talk with.. It was worse to see my friends with their siblings and all but my loneliness ended when my brother was given birth to three years ago, I must say it was wonderful having a sibling and I couldn't take my hands off him. It was all cute until he started growing up and he sorta became the villain, I know what I mean, that boy has lot of strength you see and he puts it to good use. Let him hit you and you would think you were hit by an iron rod." I'm definitely gonna miss the kicks, jumps, slaps" cue the sarcasm, there's no way in hell I'm gonna miss that, I've got tons of scars to show for it.

I brush my teeth and take a quick shower before putting on my cute dress I already picked the day before.I head out my room to the kitchen to meet my mum already cooking, Oh!! How I'm gonna miss her and her cookings, mum's a really good cook and I guess its generational because almost everyone in her family do know how to cook and yea I got it in me too but add a basketful of laziness because I'm one lazy ass "Good morning mum", I greeted before hugging her. "Morning sweetheart, hope you had a good night? "
"Yup, where's dad and Craig? " I asked looking around not finding my brother and dad.
" They are outside, ur dad's putting your stuff in the car and your brother being himself followed to help"she laughed air quoting "help". I chuckled at her response because if my brother decides to help, uhm God be with you. As if on cue, I heard my dad screaming at my brother "oh well, dad doesn't seem to enjoy craig's kind gesture"I said laughing, peeping by the window and seeing how frustrated my dad looks. My mum just shakes her head smiling and I hear her mutter "that boy".

After breakfast, everyone got dressed up and as I couldn't wait to get out of here, I raced to the door, just a few clicks and "wait!! "My mum yelled, I mentally face palmed myself, I should have known "Oh God!!"I whispered angrily and cue "we have to talk before we leave the house"mum said.
And here we go again, I turned back and we all gathered. After what seemed like ages, mum put an end to her TALK which were advices and counseling on how to behave in school "yay!! Finally, now ROAD TRIP!!" I said to myself but my happiness was short lived when she said to my dad "why don't you add something, dear. I'm sure you have some fatherly talk for her" if only looks could kill!!!.

Dad being himself had to beat around the bush trying to do some counseling and with the look on my mum's face I could tell she was regretting her action.Well, serves you right and I mentally stick my tongue to her. Mum couldn't take it anymore and I know because she interrupted and said it was getting late, *its fucking about time!* I rolled my eyes and dad wrapped up.

******
We all trooped out of the house and into the car, my brother all excited and hyped, nothing unusual there. Me? well I'm bubbling with joy, anxiety, hell, I have lots of emotions going through me right now. As my dad wanted to start the engine and I wanted to start daydreaming, "wait!! "
Ok, woman what is it again?? I glare at her
"What is it?"dad asked looking tired
"We should pray before we start the journey, you know put everything in God's hand " mum explained. Did I mention mum is quite religious??Ohhh, she is.... Pretty cool yeah?Nope.
Mum started the prayer and after what seems like eternity, she ended her prayer and handed it to dad. *again, why the heck would you do that* Dad surprisingly finished up quicker and I thanked God. I was already trying to get my body relaxed for the journey until "Mona, you should pray for us too" I heard my mum say. I almost choked on air
Uhm, say what now??!!

She said you should pray dimwitt

I heard her, idiot

Well, I'm your subconscious so technically you just called yourself an idiot which you are.

Hey, don't look at me like that! I was lonely for a lot of years so of course I have a subconscious I talk to besides everyone has it... Right?? But she's so annoying, always butting in and always having something to say.
"Mona? Can you hear me? "
"Mona!! "
I snapped out of my thoughts, staring at my glaring parents *shit, I zoned out*
"Yea, I heard you.. I was trying to start the prayer "I lied, look its not like I hate praying but I'm not exactly good with words,I always ended up embarrassing myself.
"Well, you both have already prayed for all I could think of, but I pray we have a safe journey. May God be with us"I said, see? That's what I mean.
"Amen"they both chorused, meanwhile my had been playing with his toy is already dozing off, guess he's already tired of being in the car for God knows how long.
Dad started the car and we drove off. finally!! I hear my parents discussing and I zoned out, watching our neighborhood as we drove by. *so long*

I drifted my mind to life in college. Cypress university is not really the easiest university to enter so when I was given my admission letter,*fuck, I just rhymed.. go girl* I was head over heels in joy. I'm also majoring in literature, shit I can't wait to start the new experience.
And maybe see some cute boys, eh??
How pleasant, my subconscious has to butt in again. I roll my eyes then mentally slap myself because I'm talking to myself. Oh, I'm fucked up.
I can hear you, you know?
No shit, sherlock
Answer my question, lady!
What??
I said there would be cute boys too, right?
How I'm supposed to know that *shrugs*
I hope its not a girls only apartment tho, I need to feed my eyes
*I shake my head* stupid, all you know is boys
But I'm your thoughts, so.....
You literally have a mind on your own!!!
Boo hoo!
Fuck you!!
Love you!!
Hate you, now piss off.. Gotta take a nap.

I took a peep at my sleeping brother and kissed his forehead "gonna miss you, metal". And then I drifted to sleep. Its gonna be a long ride and the start of a new journey
