I rush over to my mothers side, who was nearly unconscious. "Javi call 911!" We were both in shock but we had to do something. I grab a towel and wrap it around her side which was slashed. As the paramedics arrived, I stayed to clean up the house. Yes I know, why would you clean up if there was an intrusion? Well in the kitchen it seemed like someone staged her as cooking which could be believable. But it was 12:45 when we arrived, and my mother eats breakfast early and lunch around 2-3 p.m. Since there wasn't enough evidence of someone being there they took it was the knife slipping or she was intoxicated while cooking. My mom doesn't drink and she is very cautious so I just couldn't believe it. And not like someone tried robbing anything cause nothing was missing.
Javier got me the cleaning supplies as I cleaned the hallway, the walls, and the kitchen. The living room was surprisingly clean, so I went upstairs. As I made it to the top of the stairs, my room was a complete mess. I was shaking in fear but I had to go in, so I did. I found everything scattered. I decided not to call Javi up here because he needed space. What he walked in to was nothing he signed up for. I saw a piece a paper laying on my desk, it said:
Aw did mommy get hurt? Hah pathetic. I'm always watching Dani. We are all, around watching. Keep it interesting xoxo - Us
Okay this is getting annoying who the hell is us. My thoughts get caught off by someone lunging at me and holding something close to me. Once I saw the face I was in pure shock. "Aaron?" I gasped.
"Shut up." He glares at me,"One more word I'll slice your throat."
"Daniella you okay?" Javier shouts from downstairs. His tone in voice was mixed with stress and sounded a slight bit worried.
Aaron gave me the sort of look telling me to lie or he'll hurt us, maybe even kill us.
"Y-yeah." Please Javier know I'm lying, please...
"I'll be right back okay?" I hear him exit the building. Aaron gives me a smile I wish I never saw. Next thing I know I'm tied up, with Aaron pacing around. "Why Aaron. I was always there for you. I always took care of you. Why." I was close to tears.
"You left me with hell! All alone!" He obviously thought I abandoned him.
"It wasn't my fault! I didn't have a choice! I wasn't allowed to see you!" I shouted.
"Liar! My mother-"
"You're mother was the one not letting us see you! She LIED!" I interrupt him. He shuts his trap. As he dropped to his knees,"She said Dad left us."
"Dad still tries talking to you doesn't he." I whisper.
He nods,"But I ignore him since he left."
"He left me and my family... Not yours." Harsh memories flowed through my mind as tears flowed down my cheeks. I was only 13, and I managed to escape hell. I was 13, I shouldn't have even gone through hell at the age. A question lurks through my brain,"Why are you doing this."
"My Mom wants my Dad to suffer. He hurt us."
"She's wrong. She hurt him! You're living a lie!" I didn't mean to shout,"Aaron help me. Help me stop her."
He stops talking for a while,"I can try. But they're always watching. Every single one of them."
"Who..." Before Aaron could tell me anything Javier walked through the door.
"Later." Aaron jumps out of the window, and was gone.
"What the hell..." Javier untied me and was already jealous, my brother I guess was an attractive 15 year old. Looked older than he was so I wouldn't blame him.
"It was Aaron.. My brother."
"Oh... Well I'll go lock the doors, oh yeah they say you can see your mom tomorrow. Night." He starts walking out the door.
I grab his shirt,"Can you stay the couple of nights here. I feel safer with you." I didn't notice I was tearing up, I was scared to death.
"Of course." Wrapping his arms around me. I opened up the bed and got in and turned on the TV. We just laid there talking, keeping each other warm. Just plain loving each other. But I knew my story wasn't going to have a happily ever after that fast, or have one at all. I just enjoyed the moment while it lasted. I fell asleep scared last night, I didn't know what to expect next. I didn't want anyone else getting seriously injured because of me.
