FLASHBACK
Rebecca and I were playing with our dolls when I snatched Rebecca's fool from her hands and when she tried to take it back I held unto it more tightly and refused to let go as she cried and called mum,I was 5 then and she was 6 years but I was always the strong one that would never cry.
"Mommy! mommy!". Rebecca called tearily but I refused to let go of the doll.I like seeing her upset and crying.
Mum came running into our room when Rebecca cried more loudly,mom glanced over to my doll beside me and then at me dragging Rebecca's doll with her and walked up to us and knelt in front of us and took the doll from us and gave it back to Rebecca,she took my doll from beside me and gave it to me but I tossed it angrily on the floor.

I waited for a long time before I concluded that Paul wasn't going to show up even after Felix screamed,I guess he has no compunction for his colleagues.He is indeed a heartless man.I think Paul only cares about his brother who I killed so I guess he isn't bothered.My body was still hurting and my stomach felt as if it's insides were twisted. It was an uncomfortable feeling and I didn't like it one bit.I limped closer to the house since my body refused to function properly since Felix gave me the beating of my life so when I was limping back to the house I followed where he lay and spat on him and continued limping to the house,he beat me up pretty badly and I didn't like it my
I was so nervous as I stared at the office that mom and dad had brought me to,my 7 year old self didn't like it one bit,I was not comfortable with the woman who crossed her leg sitting with her legs crossed."What is your name?". The woman asked me in particular and I had to state up to my mom and she smiled at me."Jessica". I replied to the lady who smiled in return."That's nice to hear Jessica,my name is Miss Sarah and we would be seeing each other often so I look forward to our meeting,now let's begin…..how did you feel when you stabbed your mother?". She asked and I narrowed my eyebrows.I didn't say anything because I saw no need to know who this stranger was that mom and dad brought me to."Jessica dear, please answer". Mum said."I didn't feel anything". I replied and that was the truth I felt nothing.It felt as if it was t
It was dark in the visitors room but I didn't hear any footsteps anymore and then I opened the door and tried knocking on my door again this time the door opened and I went in."Thank goodness you are alright". Mom cried out as she hugged me.I won't say I was alright because all parts of my body hurt but I could still move so it's alright I guess.She and Rebecca pushed the wardrobe on the door,guess they grew smart enough to know that they should just leave the door open.I turned on the torch and mom gasped when she saw my bloody body."Were you shot?"Are you alright?". Mom asked worriedly as she checked my body for injuries.Typicalom ,even though I didn't complain about feeling pain,she would always check my body for bruises any time I returned back home from school. It was not as if I was being bullied
After explaining the plan to them mum and Rebecca pushed the wardrobe out from the door and Rebecca."I don't want to do it". Rebecca said,her whole body was trembling because of what I asked her to do."Just go out Rebecca nothing is going to happen we are right behind you". I whispered.She just wants to ruin the plan that I thought of, this is the only way to do this and it is boring .Since mum didn't want me killing anyone she continued staring at me strangely.I don't blame her though,I was carrying two shotguns and my pyjamas were soaked in blood so I think she had a clue of what happened but didn't want to say anything about it.After much hesitation Rebecca finally opened the door and walked out slowly,her body was trembling. She left the door open and the torch was turned off waiting for the right time as she slowly mad
It was still a bit dark in the and lucky I was not with a torch light and I was taking cautious steps,so I think whosoever opened the door hadn't seen me as I leaned on the wall slowly and then I bent down as I saw a figure in the dark.Crack! The person's footsteps were accompanied by cracks on the wood floor,this is bad.Has the backup already arrived?This would certainly not end well if they were the ones here. I listened more closely and the door cracked with a crack."Damn it stupid door". Paul muttered.There was Paul there was no mistaking it. I knew he must have a knife somewhere but I was too tired and needed to sleep but my mom didn't check properly before going down to check on dad. Paul wasn't with his gun so that was good I was somehow on the saf
Chapter 14 It took the policeman a good two minutes to process what I was saying as he looked at me as if I was crazy,he doesn't know what I have been through. If not he wouldn't be staring at me that way and get me some damn good. "After all that happened you still have an appetite to eat?". The policeman was surprised at my nonchalant behavior.I was starving and the more time I wasted it became more severe."After the beating I took yesterday I think I deserve a well prepared meal". I countered and that shut him up. My body was still aching from the numerous punches and slaps I got and yet he was here saying nonsense. I knew it was strange that I still had an appetite but I didn't care my stomach was screaming at me to eat before I pas
Our holiday had ended on a rather drastic note,all I did was lay in bed and rest as the doctor said and mom went to visit dad in the hospital. She even slept there at times. Any time mom was to sleep at the hospital she would tell us "don't leave the house, don't open the door for anyone, even the neighbors". She was so paranoid but I couldn't blame her ,what happened got her pretty shaken up and I think it would take some time to get back into her old self and dad being in the hospital didn't help matters at all. Dad's condition wasn't improving as it should but all we could do was just hope,I and Rebecca hadn't gone to see him ,Mom refused to take us along for reasons best known to her. I know she must be saying in her head, if only she listened to me this won't have happened b
It wasn't the alarm that woke me up but it was Rebecca's bear hug that did,she held onto me for dear life and I couldn't breath as I tried to pry her hands away from my body but she refused to let go. It was morning already and Rebecca has this bad habit of sleeping habit she wouldn't let go and I had to use all the strength I had on me to push her off me as she turned to the other side of the turned to the other side of the bed and continued sleeping. I shook my head at her behavior and got off the bed as I stretched my sore back. I headed downstairs to make breakfast for both of us and Rebecca soon joined me to eat. After we had breakfast I got refreshed and waited for mom who arrived 30 minutes later. She looked so tired and I suggested we go to the therapist another time but she refused."Let's just get it o
It felt as if I moved an inch that mom would smack my head because I could see how angry she looked, so I stayed put, not breaking eye contact as I spoke."Am not with any gun". I said and her eyes narrowed."Jessica don't joke around with me". Mom warned. "I told you I am not with any gun mom". I stated plainly."Mom, what's wrong?". I heard Rebecca ask as she stood at the stairs. "Nothing... Rebecca". Mom said to Rebecca. "Go and freshen up". Mom said to me as I walked up the stairs like nothing happened. Was she giving up that easily? I thought mom would drag this further but she didn't. I expected her to at least search me….well it doesn't matter if she believed me or not but I needed the gun for my defense. It's not like I loved lying but it was necessary that I defend myself. The l
I walked into the alley and took out the gun from my backpack,the alley was a bit dark but I saw the two unarmed men that was in the car following me walk into the alley with me and I shook my head at their stupidity, they really no nothing about this place because if they did they won't have come here to meet me. I tilted my head to the side as I raised the gun and shot the first man on his shoulder. "Don't move...hands up". I told the other guy with him who raised his hands. "You too". I pointed the gun at the other guy who I shot and he was reluctant to raise his hand. Am sure someone must have heard the gunshot by now,I just hoped that the police were on the way. Even if I wanted to shoot them I still didn't want the police to pry deeper into my life they might find something I don't want anyone to find.
When you are given bad news you always need time to process what has just been said and that was what I did.I just stayed still trying to process what my mother had just said,how could this be?"Jessica, Jessica can you hear me?". Mom asked, snapping me out of my thoughts as I nodded.I wasn't prepared for the unexpected news she just gave,even though I didn't like him that much he still supported me at times during hard trials.This was a really big blow to my family. How will I survive this?I saw him in goo
My mom continued crying and I just watched her cry. My mind was still in a daze,somehow I survived last night and I won't say I wasn't thrilled but I know I wasn't happy about it.Rebecca finally made her appearance from nowhere and with my mother hugging her tightly as she sobbed as well,I was probably the only weird one in the family because I wasn't crying.Heck I didn't even know what was making my mother shed tears, Rebecca maybe was crying because she was scared but I knew my mom's case was different,I haven't seen her crying this openly before.I was exhausted mentally so I left both of them and went and
The shooting continued and then someone started kicking out mom's door and we all had to hold onto the wardrobe so they wouldn't push it away."They are in here!". I heard a man yell as he continued kicking the door and we pushed the door with all our strength."Rebecca come over here and help us". Mom half yelled at Rebecca who was still sitting on the floor cowering in pain.Rebecca seemed to be in a different word as she ignored mom's words and held onto her knees shaking in fear."Rebecca!". Mom yelled at her but she still ignored her,I don't think Rebecca Dan even heard her let alone what was actually happening around her. It seemed as if Rebecca was in a trance and couldn't be woken up.
I checked the time it was 2: 43 am in the morning. The men actually came and they were early at that,I didn't hear the bell but I definitely heard the scream. He screamed like a schoolgirl that got her hear broken ,how ridiculous. I took my baseball bat as I peeked out my door and I saw and I saw flashlights on, I called the police and they were already aware of the situation,good this was why I liked the police in our modern city,they were always fast. Did mom call them? I Called mom and she answered in the first ring."Am awake". That was the first thing she said. Who would even not wake up after such a scream? "I just wanted to be sure". I replied. "Be careful and don't leave your room,I called the police already". Mom said,looks like great min
Rebecca was in mom's room so I went into mom's room and told them not to come out after I left. "Is everything alright?". Mom asked me suspiciously. This woman only suspects everything I do."Everything is fine I just wanted to set up a few things". I replied."What few things?".I asked and I sighed."Mom just go to bed and don't come out of your room". I half yelled as I walked out of her room and slammed the door shut. Why must she ask this much questions? Just because she's my mother doesn't mean she had to know about everything I do. "Jessica! Jessica!". I heard mom call as she walked out of her room and met me in the hallway."What are you planning?". Mom asked."Nothing bad I just want to put up some stuff for our protection
As we walked down the hallway my heart couldn't help but feel heavy just a bit,I don't know why I was feeling this Way. Did my Father not want to see me and mom was forced to bring us here because of what happened last night. That was the only thought that crossed my mind as we walked."Is everything alright honey?". Mom asked as she saw the distant look on my face."Yes mom everything is fine". I replied. We walked closer to Dad's room, Rebecca holding onto mom's hand as if she was a kid. I was not surprised at her behavior but she was acting too scared. Was she actually my sister? She gets scared too easily. When we got to dad's room he was still sleeping with different plugs in his hand,a bandage over his face,I felt sorry for him he was in a really
I couldn't sleep all throughout the night,as Rebecca was snoring beside me.I couldn't help but get up from bed and think about what my plan would be next.I would be a fool to think that they would leave us even if the police were protecting us.I needed to devise a plan soon.If I wasn't at home then I could get the plan as I wanted to.My whole body shook with excitement and I couldn't sleep. Rebecca's boyfriend was kind enough to leave his room for us and his family was understanding even though they didn't know what was happening.I think this was not the first time Rebecca had slept here,I know times she would s
