I woke up expecting to see Mel's bright face but was met with nothing but an empty room, it took a lot of convincing for Mel to finally let me sleep, they must have gone after I slept, I was hoping they would stay with me, I feel so alone right now. The door opened and I stretched my neck to see who it was, a lady in a suit and she was holding a pad or something I don't know."Good Afternoon, the doctor gave me permission to see you." Wait its afternoon already? For how long was I asleep. She greeted me with a bright smile on her face but I could tell it was fake, she grabbed a chair and placed her huge behind on it."My name is Laura Michaelson from the Save the female child agency," I just stared at her with an empty expression, what does she want? She should go away "last night you did something that almost took your life, you attempted suicide." 'Oh geez thanks for telling me, I truly had no idea, please tell me more' that's what I would have said if I could speak, well I can I'm
The doctor left and the lady from the agency walked in right after and I groaned internally. "Good afternoon, I'd like to talk to Alexia in private please." I quickly picked my paper and pen and wrote down on my paper."Please tell her to leave." I showed Mel's mom."I'm sorry but you can't." She said with a small smile, what's there to be sorry about?!"I'm Laura Michaelson from the Support the female child agency—" "Alexia is not a victim of abuse or rape or violence so you have nothing to talk to her about." She interrupted her, Mrs Laura looked quite upset."My job—" "I know exactly what your job is, she was depressed and that's why she did what she did and we are going to handle it." Mel's mom stated firmly."And what made her depressed?""That's none of your concern with all due respect, you should go....now." Mel and I shared a look and we suppressed a grin."Excuse me ma'am but do y—" "Please just leave, you're not needed here, she was depressed and we'll sort it out what'
"I'm starving." She held her stomach, me cooking in this house is like a sin, I'll go cook noodles for her quickly while I'll take oats."How about some noodles?" "Sounds delicious." She grinned."Wait here, I'll be back." "Okay." I got up and made my way to the kitchen, Adam and mom were no where to be seen goodie. I made noodles and oats, I placed the two bowls in a tray with two bottles of water, I also stole two bags of chips and started walking towards my room trying not to drop anything. "Who gave you permission to enter the kitchen?" Adam's voice stopped me in my tracks, I was about to try replying but instead I just ignored him now he'll know how it feels to be ignored, he's such a loser.I reached my room and I kicked the door with my foot, I was unable to open the door because of all I was carrying, the door opened and Mel took the tray from my hand causing the bag of chips to fall to the ground. "Ugh!" I don't like broken chips, why did they have to fall, I picked them
I felt someone shake me vigorously, I woke up sweating like crazy, my throat hurts and my chest was heavy, I looked around suddenly and met the familiar sight of my room, everything was alright, I took deep breaths and tried to calm my racing heart. I was met with Mel's confused and worried expression, "what was that about? Was it a nightmare?" I was about to reply her, I opened my mouth but nothing came out, not a single sound, I placed both my hands on my throat and tried harder to speak."What's wrong? Please tell me what's going on?" She sounded confused, worried and terrified. I desperately tried to speak but I couldn't, wasn't she seeing that I was struggling to speak."You can't talk? Please answer me!!" I felt like giving her a tight slap as she said this, how will I answer her if I can't speak?"Hold on I'm coming." She rushed out of the room, if she rushing to go call mom then she should rush back mom wouldn't care less, I kept trying to speak but it felt like the more I tr
I finished my breakfast and I belched "excuse me." I wrote on a paper and showed her."Ok." She returned my bowl and came back quickly."I've been meaning to ask you, isn't there school today?""Some people are using the school for something so no school till Monday.""Which people?" "Don't know don't care." She got up and started rummaging through my wardrobe."What are you looking for?" I threw a pillow at her to get her attention so she could read it."Tomorrow is your birthday, you need a beautiful outfit or should I say outfits." "I don't have any gorgeous clothes." I typed into my phone and ask Google to say it, I think this way is more efficient. "I can see that, you know what that means?" She turned to me slowly and grinned widely."What?" I asked with a raised brow. "Shopping!!""No way, hell no!!""Come on Ally, you're doing this for yourself not for anyone else, you need gorgeous outfits to slay your day in, please, pretty please." She gave me her effective puppy eye lo
Four Hours LaterI turned to my side and opened my eyes grudgingly "you're finally awake." Mel said, I turned to lok at her and shut my eyes back, I reach for my phone."When did you wake up?" I typed into it and asked Google to say it as usual."About thirty minutes ago, I woke up hungry.""I'll go make dinner," I don't think making noodles will be a good idea I don't want it to look like it's only noodles we have at home "will spaghetti and meatballs do?" Mom can't really do anything to me since Mel is here."Yeah, I'll help you." She offered."Okay but first let me wipe off my make up and change into something comfortable." "Alright." I grabbed my baby wipes and started wiping off my make up, after I was done I changed into a big over sized shirt and didn't wear anything under aside my pants, it's so big its reaching my lower thighs."Let's go." We went to the kitchen and I brought out the ingredients for the spaghetti and meatballs, since it's just her eating I'm bringing out lit
Alexia's POV I was in a garden of water lilies flower, it was white and beautiful, there was a waterfall nearby and the air smelt amazing, I was dressed in knee length white flowing gown, I was skipping and humming, everything was peaceful, the birds were chirping rabbits were hoping everything was normal, it was like paradise but then something infected a flower.Instead of me plucking it and throwing it away, I left it. The infection grew and it corrupted the flowers, lilies turned to black roses with barely any petals, they were filled it thorns even their stems, I was confused and surprised, I felt a shiver down my spine, the birds stopped chirping, rabbits started flying, everything was upside down, I saw a familiar figure and ran to it. "Lilith." I smiled and moved closer to her."Sweet sister." She smiled lovingly at me, I smiled back, she placed her soft hands on my cheeks, I was about to forget all my worries when I realised something, lilith never liked me, she's always ha
We were about leaving the house when I spotted mom. "Bappy birthday to you, happy birthday happy birthday, happy birthday to you." She sang with a huge grin on her face, she was holding a plate of three pancakes with syrup, strawberries and a candle on it. I wasn't surprised 'cause this is what she does every year on my birthday but Mel sure was surprised, she had a shocked expression. "Happy birthday my dear daughter." She walked over to us behind the couch."Thank you." I typed into my phone and google said it outloud. "Here, I made this delicious pancake for you that you love so much as I do every year on your birthday, take a bite." She cut a piece with the fork on the plate and wanted feed it to me, that's the only odd thing about this, in my whole five years that I've been celebrating shitty birthdays she has never fed pancake to me not even once."Mrs Miller, Ally can't eat solid food." Mel said with a smile and that earned her a glare."You can't tell me what I can and canno
"What did you just say?" Mom turned back glaring at me, my confidence shrunk and I turned away from her."Apologise! Now!!!!" I looked at her and all I saw in her eyes were immense hatred. Adam just watched silently with a small smile on his lip, he was enjoying this a little too much."I'm sorry....happy?" I glared back at her."I'll be happy only after you leave our lives." That hit a nerve, it hit it hard. I couldn't believe that came from my mom's mouth."Yeah right, looks like you'll never be happy cause we are stuck with her forever." Lilith Snickered."I'm so unfortunate." Mom said, she started the car and we were moving again.I felt Adam's gaze burning the side of my face, I turned to him and snapped "what!" He looked at me amused and that further infuriated me.I felt an intense urge to get out of this car, I felt very suffocated staying in the same car with them.******We got home several minutes later, I was the first to exit the car and made my way to the front door. It
"So you see it wasn't my fault after she went into the state she was in everyone blamed me for it, I was taunted and called a murderer for years despite not doing anything wrong, my childhood was a nightmare and it messed with my head a bit, I visited the hospital where I was told I had schizophrenia," I paused and looked at them, I can't believe I'm lying to them but I don't have a choice."When she came back around I was overwhelmed and filled with joy, I told her about all the things that happened after she went into that state thinking she'll feel pity for me, and together we'll tell everyone that I didn't try to kill her but she said all the rumors were right that I dod try to kill her, I was upset with her and we had a fight that's all...I didn't tell anyone that I'm schizophrenic because I thought that the hate talks would just get worst." I looked at Lilith and her mouth hung open I'm sure she's surprised at how I turned things around "I understand her thinking that way, we d
The last class for the day ended and I waited for Lilith and my so-called friends at the door, I'll confront Lilith and ask her what lie she told."And where are you going?" They exited the class and tried to walk past me completely ignoring my presence, aunt was right after all now she has turned my friends against me and befriended them by winning their sympathy."What exactly is going on? What exactly did you tell them?", I have to act smart they saw me talking to a flower so even if I tell them I don't have a mind they won't believe me " why are you so silent? Y–" "Don't do this here." She said calmly."Oh so you can create a scene but I can't? Tell me what exactly you told them I want to know." "Al–" she started but Sarah cut her off."Since you want to know badly then I will tell you." She walked moved closer towards me, and shot daggers at me, "she told us that you're mentally unstable and all because you couldn't bear to see her out of the horrible state she was in after you
She stopped right in front of our table and slammed her hand on it hard, we just stared at her expecting the worst, everyone had their eyes on us. The cafeteria grew quiet moments after all that could be heard was the soft whispering of our audience."How does it feel to be pretty?" I took a bite of my sandwich and ignored her."Didn't you hear me?", I glanced in her direction before turning back to my food " now that you're pretty you've grown some balls, you have the nerve to ignore me!!" She taunted."What do you want exactly?" Sarah asked impatiently."For a one-legged baboon like yourself to stay out of my business!" That's harsh!! I could see that her words affected Sarah as she quickly sunk back into her seat."Hey!!" Ben yelled, getting up from his seat in an instant."What's wrong with you, you're sick in the head," Chad pitched in glaring daggers at her "why are you always out for her? Looks like you're jealous of her or something.""What exactly is there to be jealous of? I
We got to class and took our respective seats, I got a couple of stared but it wasn't the usual look of disgust and pity, they stared at me with a smile on their face, someone even waved at me and I waved back, of course, a small smile formed on my face knowing that they are now accepting me, it felt weird and strange but I'll get used to it.The teacher entered at the same time as Lilith, her eyes scanned the room and I waved lightly signaling that I'm over there, she relaxed when she spotted me and gave me a small smile. She stood in front of the class waiting to be introduced."Why are you standing there?", the teacher asked, she opened her mouth to speak but he didn't let her " are you the new student?" "Yes sir." She answered with a smile, realization dawned on him and he turned to the class."Tell us your name." He instructed."I'm Lilith Miller, a victim of full-body paralysis." Of course, she had to add that, what better way to be liked than to be pitied."Oh, so sorry about
I watched her slowly get up, I wanted to ask her what she was doing but aunt beat me to it."What were you doing behind the door? We're you eavesdropping on us?" "No! Why would I? It's not like you two are saying anything important." She shrugged. It's obvious she was eavesdropping and she's still lying even when caught."So how come you fell when I opened the door?" "This is my house I can fall wherever I please, besides why are you interrogating me?" "Wh-" "You've been here a while," she cut aunt off "what were you two doing, what were you talking about?" She's being so rude to her."And how is that any of your business? Just get out of my room." "What if I don't want to get out?" She folded her arms and smirked. She's so annoying."Y-" "Stay then, Alexia get changed you need to be in school in a few minutes." Aunt beat me to it again."Alright." She left the room and I went to grab my uniform from my wardrobe."Won't you have your bath first?" Maybe if I just ignore her she'l
The first thing I did was shield my boobs with one hand and my lower too, I looked around trying to know where I was, I took a couple of steps before yelling."Hello!!" Oh my God! Where am I?"Is anyone out there?" I called out and heard a whisper in reply, my eats picked it up and I stretched my neck to listen closely. "Hello!!" I called out again, I heard the whisper and went in the direction of the voice."Is anyone out there?" I couldn't go any further as the path was blocked with roses and one thing I know about rose bushes is they are filled with thorns, walling through it will be stupid especially while naked."Help," the voice said faintly."Who are you? Are you in danger?" I looked around, it was so dark out. The only source of light is from the moon."Please help me." It seems like the voice is around here somewhere but how will I pass through?! I moved closer to the rose bush and got pricked, this isn't gonna work. "And where do you think you're going?" I heard a whiny v
"Out with it already aunt." I was drained emotionally, I don't have the strength for the suspense."My mom who is your grandma used to tell your father and I stories about your great great great great great great grandma and that despite the fact that she was ninety seven she still looked thirty, she was stunning beyond measure, she loved and cared about everyone around her. She used to tell us alot about fairies and one day she finally spilled the beans, and her death was unfortunate—" "Wait!! Hold up!!! So you're saying my great great great.... grandma was a fairy?! That's not possible!! Fairies aren't real maybe I'm just schizophrenic and I need to visit the hospital.""My dear, you said it yourself you're portraying signs of a fairy and I'm sure the pain you were feeling earlier wasn't yours—" "So you're saying because I turned beautiful overnight, started loosing my mind and talking to flowers I'm a fairy? I don't mean to be rude but can you hear yourself? And what do you mean
"What!!! How is this possible!" Aunt asked Stepping forward, she looked just as shocked as I am. So many emotions were running through me, I felt so overwhelmed."What do you mean? You should be happy, you should jumping up and down in joy that your elder niece is—"In my state of shock I was able to utter just one thing "How?" A single tear escaped my eyes."Oh I see! You look so shocked and sad that your efforts have gone down the drain, that you didn't succeed!!" Mom walked towards me but aunt quickly blocked her path."What rubbish are you spewing?!!!""So you're taking her side huh?! She is a murderer, she tried to kill her older sister but God didn't let her and you're taking her side meaning both of you are in cahoo—" "Oh please!! We all know you're saying rubbish..." "If what I'm saying is untrue then you will go over to Lilith and hug her, after so many years she is finally okay, she can walk, talk and eat—" "Do you mean...that's Alexia." Lilith got up from her spot on yhe
