A New Identity.

"I've Had Enough"

It was December 20th 2022, it was the day where I, Aiyana Wills had enough.

I woke up to about 10+ messages on my phone. I didn't care at all, not one bit. I noticed it was from my parents, that's the reason why  I ignored it, I wasn't raised in the best home you could imagine. But anyways I put on some slightly rusted up clothes and proceeded to walk towards the bathroom in my decent sized apartment. Then continued I brushed my teeth in a forceful manner.

I was interrupted by a knock at the door that had a familiar pattern going like..

"BAM, BAM, BAM"

However, it went so fast I couldn't even process who it could be. My heart was beating slightly faster after the knock occurred. I thoroughly washed my mouth before approaching the front door exiting my apartment. I speed-walked to the front door and opened the door with a noticing shake in my hand.

Right when I opened the door, I immediately knew who it was. There I was, standing there looking like a young girl who had just broke something in her parent's house. My heart was pounding like never before. In the consistent beat of..

"BOOM BOOM, BOOM BOOM, BOOM BOOM"

You may wonder.."Okay it's your Landlord...so what?" The issue is, I've been procrastinating to pay my rent for this hard-earned apartment, despite it being rusted up.

i wasn't 2-3 days late.. I was a MONTH LATE My landlord looked at me with a very disappointed look.

"You should already know what this means.. No more time Wills." My landlord said, then sighing . My eyes watered right after he said those 2 words, but I wiped them dry right away. I couldn't really explain but blurted this out.."I can explain, I've been busy with-" before I could say anything else, my landlord said, with a very grumpy look "Busy with what? You're overdue by a month!" I was speechless...

By force, he got movers to carry my stuff out and..basically evict me! Sooner or later..Hs plan was done. I was evicted. Sitting about 5 yards away from the apartment.. I sat there with only 20 dollars to my name. I already started to look homeless. After all, I was in the first place Well I had nothing else to do but look at my phone..

"17 new notifications"

When I opened to notifications, it was just messages from my family members. I kept their number in my phone, just in case..Although my faith was already gone that they would text me again.

"Where are you!?!, Have you seen Eliana??, answer!"

Although it looks like they are concerned about me, they're not. They're actions may seem genuine, but their actions prove its not. To be honest, I didn't Know where Eliana was, and for them to ask me was weird because I haven't spoke to them since I moved out the house which was 5 years ago.

I don't respond to them because of a traumatic event that happened a decade ago..I've held on to the event for so long. It plays in my mind about everyday, just like a video tape. It's like i have PTSD. I remember this event clearly. It's hard to explain. I have a twin sister named Eliana, she was the favorite. My parents didn't see the value in me, or my long lost brother.

It started to get cold, and guess where I was. Sitting on a patch of grass, with an old shirt and shorts almost approaching my knee. I should've been more aware about the weather, on a count I do live in a town that's usually cold. I knew I couldn't sit on a patch of grass for the next couple of hours ... therefore, I got my lazy-bottom up off the ground and started to walk to the nearest home to see if they knew any shelters around Maryville. I would knock on the door of a white and gray designed house with brick material on the front.
