I'll Fix You (EDITING)

chapter 5

Ari's pov

"ARIANA!!"aunt Mariah's voice literally booms around the house which shocks me, and she sounds really mad, so I run from my room where I was just trying to do some of my school assignments.

"Ariana get down here right now, don't make me come up there!!"she shouts again, her voice is very scary right now, and the fact that I have no idea what this is about makes me more nervous, I wonder what I did wrong this time.

When I finally reach where she is by the stairs, I slow down once I see her bright red face filled with so much anger and hate that it sends a bad shiver down spine.

"I-is everything a-" I don't even see what happens next coming

' Slap! '

It comes so hard that I'm sent rolling down the remaining two steps, and I know I'll definitely get a bruise from how hard the fall is. When my rolling, which to me took an eternity to finish but actually only took seconds, finally comes to an end and I feel the harsh impact of the final landing on the tiled ground, I'm finally able to register the fact that I have been slapped, really hard, and I have no idea why. But I guess I'm about to find out as she immediately grabs me rather harshly from the floor and begins dragging me towards the children's play room.

"A-aunt M-mariah, W-Why, What's g-going o-"

"Shut up girl!!, And I am not your aunt, you hear me!!" She screams to my face her grip on my arm tightening, but I bite my lip trying to to prevent me from crying or screaming from the pain. But she doesn't wait for my reply as she throws me into the opened play room, sending me to the hard floor once again with so much force.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS RIGHT HERE!!" She yells at me pointing out towards what seems to be yellow liquid on the floor, her face turning a darker shade of red. I stare at the spot she points at, confusion growing in my head as to how and when it got there, I swear I cleaned this room, it was the last room I cleaned, then how and when did that get there?.

"A-aunt i-i swear, i-i c-cleaned this room just m-moments ago-"

"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THAT."She cuts me off once again.

"I-i d-don't-"

"YOU WHAT HUH!!, Is this how you repay me for helping you, for taking you off the streets getting you a job, putting food on your table, only to be rewarded by this huh!!, ANSWER ME!!" she screams at my now tears filled face with my position not moved from the ground.

"N-no i-im s-sorry" I say the twitching in my fingers already turning to a full on vibration already has me knowing what comes next. Panick attack

"This better be the last time this occurs you hear me, because the next time, I'll send you back to the streets where you belong, Ok!!" It's more of a warning than question, so I just give a a sharp nod as my breathing becomes heavy making it hard to speak.

"Now clean this up quickly and get the hell out of my sight and don't come out from your room till tomorrow, and you can forget about dinner tonight." She says, then she turns and leaves me there begging God that the panicking passes with ease.

I spend the next thirty minutes trying to multitask and by multitask I mean, trying to control my breathing, control my tears and clean up the mess at the same time. Once I'm done with the cleaning, I survey the rest of the room just in case there are any more surprises as this one, and when I'm sure that there are no more, I Sprint back to my room as fast as my badly aching body is willing to take me, and once I get in and successfully lock the door I find my place on the ground and I finally let myself break down.
