Evelyn’s POV
.
I found myself running in a forest covered with blood but it’s definitely not mine cause I wasn’t injured.
I keep running and looking back without knowing exactly what I was running away from.
I was very scared and don’t know where exactly I am, I stopped running and try to figure out what’s happening.
” Daaaad?” I called out loud but got no response.
” Dad, Mom, Sarah…… anybody, can anybody hear me?” I called out loud but got no reply which only frighten me more.
What the hell is going on,
Where the hell am I?…..where am i?
What am I doing here?…how did I get here?
These are the questions I keep asking myself then I heard a very loud roar like some kind of an animal.
I was so scared to the bone and see the leaves rustling and the trees shaking like something is coming forth.
I couldn’t wait to see the thing as I pick to my race and started running away, as I keep running i can sense it getting closer to me.
I keep running until I tripped and then I fell down, I tried to stand up but couldn’t cause I’ve hurt my ankle.
I can sense it getting closer by the second then suddenly out of nowhere something jumped up at me.
” Aaaaahhhh”
I scre-med out loud and I woke up to see myself in the hospital, I looked around trying to figure out what was wrong.
Then I remembered the reason I was at the hospital, I remember tripping on the stares and fell down.
I was breathing heavily due to the shock I had from the nightmare, I can’t believe it’s a dream cause it felt so real.
My dad, Mom and two of my sisters entered the ward looking worried with a doctor with them.
” Oh thankGod, she’s awake” Eva said.
” Are you alright? Miss Brookes” the doctor asked and I nodded affirmative.
” Why is my arm bandaged?” I asked raising the bandaged arm.
” you broke your arm due to the accident but don’t worry in a month or two you will be fine” the doctor said.
” What’s that scre-m about honey?…..you scared the crap out of me?” Dad asked worriedly.
” I had a very bad nightmare…. it’s very scary” I said holding his hands.
” It’s okay, it’s just a dream” My dad said.
” I’m glad you’re fine” mom said and I look up glaring at her.
” It’s not like you care besides it’s all your fault……you left your boy messing around the place” I said angrily.
” Heyy watch your mouth young lady, don’t you talk back at me, I deserve some respect” she snapped back.
” Stop that Evelyn, if she didn’t care do you think she will be here?…… that’s so rude of you” dad scolded.
” I’m sorry dad” I apologised.
” I’m not the one you should be apologising to…. it’s your mother” he said.
” I’m sorry Mom….. forgive me” I said.
” It’s Okay…… I’m also sorry for what happened” Mom said.
” Good, you should rest while I clear things with the doctor” dad said then he followed the doctor.
.
I spent two days at the hospital before I was discharged as the doctor see me fit to go home.
When I got back to the house my mom resume her role as the woman of the house.
I don’t know I have to get myself injured before my mother can return to her duty.
For all the time I spent at home I tried my best to be nice to her but whenever her son is involved she’s someone else.
One of the nights my dad came into my room and plead me not to get into fight with my mom again.
He said he wanted peace in the family and wanted us to live as one, that I shouldn’t fuss up no matter what my mom do.
I know he can’t say anything to my about it cause my mom is very stubborn and wouldn’t listen to him.
I know all my dad wanted is for everyone to be Happy and live happily which is why I’ll try my best to tolerate her.
__________________________________________
{Seven Years Later}
.
Over the years I’ve tried to keep the peace between my mother and I just like I promised my dad.
Though she resumed her responsibility but her over protective behavior is still there which I don’t really care anymore.
I thought as the boy grows that I’ll find a way to like him and treat him as my brother but I was wrong.
The last seven years has been the most horrific years of my life and the boy is the cause.
The boy is showing his true colour as the little devil that he really is, he is a pain in the ass.
Every time the boy has made my life miserable and not just me but the rest of my siblings as well.
There was a day when I was still in high school, he went to my room and shredded my uniform to pieces because I denied him access to my phone.
I got so angry and was tempted to beat the devil out of him but instead I informed my mom about it.
I was expecting my mom to scold him but she didn’t instead she said I was lying that her little boy wouldn’t do that.
I was so furious by my mom’s reply and told never to allow him into my room or else I will hurt him.
That’s how he always let him get away everytime he did something like that.
I wasn’t the only victim of the staircase accident he did it to one of my sisters.
When Destry turned five years old he sneaked behind my sister Eva when she was descending from the stairs.
He pushed her and she fell from the stairs but luckily she didn’t sustain much injury just some bruise.
We informed our mother about it and was expecting her to scold him instead she said it’s probably a mistake.
” My little boy will never do that……you are all just trying to make him a bad person…..she’s a kid for crying out loud” she always says.
The boys mischief keeps growing as he gets older and my mother do nothing about it.
Sometimes I looked at my mother and wondered if she’s actually the one that gave birth to us.
There was a time he went into Sarah’s room and mess up her bed by pouring water on it and ran away because she knock him on the head.
Sarah was infuriated and went to report to my mother but my mother believed what his son said.
” It’s a lie mom I didn’t…….she made the mess herself,….she bedwet” Destry said and my mother believed him.
That wasn’t the end of it whenever we all deny him of anything, he always find a way to pay back.
There are times he would mess up our food by pouring so much salt or sand, sometimes soap just to get back at us.
I just don’t know how a boy that young can be filled with all of the devil’s mischievous ideas.
My hatred for that boy grows by the day and I get angry anytime my mom sided with him.
I would’ve fight my mom on this but I won’t cause I made a promise to my dad which I don’t want to break.
Even my dad wasn’t left behind on that boy’s mischief, on his 6th birthday my dad forgot to buy him a gift.
The Crazy boy got angry and went to my dad’s car and punctured the four tires and break the mirrors.
We were all shocked and surprised by this, it’s like this boy is nothing but the devil’s son.
Though I know my dad isn’t that kind of man that beat kids but this is way too much I was expecting him to do something.
It’s clear my dad was angry but he couldn’t do anything cause of my Mom.
On the other side I was expecting my Mom to scold him and tell him what he did was wrong but I got shock by her response.
” It’s probably because he was angry cause daddy didn’t buy him a birthday present” Mom said.
I was dumbfounded when the word fell out of my mom’s mouth and I couldn’t believe the kind of person she is.
There was a day I was in the parlor with the rest of my siblings watching an American series.
We were so engrossed in the movie then Destry entered, picked the remote and changed the station to cartoon.
” Destry, are you crazy?” I said angrily.
” No, i want to watch this one” he said pouting.
” Don’t get me angry… Destry” I said then snatched the remote from him and changed it back to the movie.
He stood up and left angrily and I don’t really care, I’ve had enough of this rubbish.
I was so relaxed watching the movie then Destry arrived and sprayed my eyes with mosquito spray.
” Aaaaaaaaahhhh”
I scre-med out in pain and hurried straight to the kitchen to wash it off.
” Destry….. that’s so unfair”
” Shut up Betty, you don’t know anything”
” You’re so evil”
” And you too”
Sarah, Sophie and Eva came to the kitchen to check on me.
I rest for a minute to make sure nothing is wrong with my sight.
” Are you okay?” Sarah asked.
” I’m so going to kill that boy” I said angrily and went out of the kitchen.
” Wait….Ev, don’t…..mom is around” Sarah said but I don’t really care.
I got to the palour and saw him seating in the couch watching the cartoon, I went to him and slap him really hærd.
” Aaaaah” he scre-med.
” You this crazy boy……. don’t you dare do that again” I said then slapped him again and he fell to the floor.
” EVELYN” I heard my mom shouted from the stairs then she hurried down.
She came closer to me and slapped me back and I fell on the couch.
” I warned you not to lay a finger on him” she said and tears rolled down my eyes.
” I hate you Mom, I hate you so much……I regret the day you gave birth to me” I said crying.
” What the hell is going on here?” I heard my dad said.
I turned and see him at the entrance, my sisters went to greet him while I ran straight to my room.
I locked myself in my room while I cry my eyes out, I can’t believe my own mother would treat me like that.
I wept bitterly for a long time and tried as much as possible to calm the tears, I tried to but the incident kept tempting more tears from flowing.
I heard a knock on my door then decided to ignore it and the knock came again.
” Go Away” I said.
” C’mon Evelyn…….. it’s me, I need to talk to you” dad said.
” Go Away dad, I want to be alone” I said.
” Don’t be like that Ev, let me in” he said then I went to the door and unlocked it and he entered.
” You’re fighting with your mother again” he said.
” If you’re here to scold me because I broke my promise then don’t bother saying it dad” I said.
” And now you’re being rude to me as well” he said as he sat beside me on the bed.
” Sorry Dad” I said.
” I’m sorry too okay……. I’m sorry about everything” he said.
” Look dad, I know what this family means to you but I can’t cope with this anymore”
” Over the years I’ve tried my best to cope with all this but I can’t, not anymore…….. I’m tired dad” I complained.
” Dad, I’m over 18 now….. I’m 23 and I’m almost done with university, the only reason I’m still in this house is because of my siblings”
” And I’m very happy with what you’re doing…..I know how hærd this might be but you just have to endure” dad said.
” No Dad, not anymore…..the only thing I can suggest is that you rent another apartment for my siblings and I to live”
” We can’t stay here any longer, not under the same roof with the woman that call herself our mother and that child of hers” I said.
” We are family Evelyn, and family are supposed to stay and live together” dad said.
” Yes Dad but family to hurt each other” I countered.
” Your brother is just a child….he knows nothing ” dad said.
” Seriously Dad, I think you and I know that’s not true cause that boy is definitely not a child” I replied.
” Please Evelyn, do this for me……I know it’s hærd but please” dad pleaded.
” But dad, why are you doing this?…..this is crazy” I said.
” It’s not Ev, I’m sure you will understand when you also get married” he said.
” It’s okay Dad…..but tell Mom to warn her child to stay away from me or else…….”
“……….. I’ll kill him one day”
