''Sometimes I sit alone in my room, not because I'm lonely but because I want to. I quite like it but too bad sitting by myself always leads to terrifying, self-destructive thoughts. When I'm about to do something, he calls. He is like my own personal superhero and he doesn't even know it. Now my superhero never calls and there is no one to help me, maybe I should get a new hero. What do you think?'' ''Why don't you be your own hero?'' I didn't want to be my own hero I just wanted my best friend, too bad that's all he'll ever be to me- a friend. Trigger Warning so read at your own risk.
View MoreThe sound of my door making fast and direct contact with my wall made me jump out of my bed. What the fuck? I turned to glare at the person who dared to wake me up at, I paused to look at the pastel pink clock that Kiki gave me, six forty. Holy shit! It's six forty I leapt from my bed as if it were about to compost at any second. "Zack you promised to take me to school today!" Daniel snapped at me. His attitude was in no way, shape or form helping my frazzled mood. "I know, I know. The stupid alarm on my phone didn't go off," I struggled to say as I kicked off my boxers and hopped in the shower, my toothbrush clenched between my teeth. "Hurrrrrryyy," he whined. The sound of slamming doors made me aware that he left and clearly not in a good mood. Why today of all days? My mum and dad left for work early on Mondays. They usually take Daniel and the twins to school when they head for work, but Daniel told me last night that he wanted to go with me for whatever reason. If they we
"That sucks honey. Not for your father and me because we need you to babysit for us," my mum smiled at me as if she didn't just put the final nail in my coffin. I groaned and stabbed my pancake. I would offer a more verbal complaint, but rightfully I had no grounds to do so. Nor did I have an excuse. Dan had babysat while studying last week and I could do so too. In fact, I've been doing so since I could remember and back then I had three children to deal with. Three whiny, clingy, snotty, but equally adorable children. On the bright side, I could carry out my revenge plans without my mum or my dad intervening. Yes, it was all going to work out perfectly. I smirked at Daniel over my pancake. 'You're going to suffer,' I mouthed to him. "Muum, tell Zack to leave me alone. He is being mean," Daniel whined. "Zack you need to leave your brother alone. Stop being mean, it is not nice," my mum half-heartedly said as she fed my dad. They were cute, but they were always in your face.
I woke up at seven am on Sunday. Did I willing wake up at that time? No. I woke up at that time because Van decided that he now enjoyed screaming in my ear. Not only did I wake up with a shattered eardrum but I also woke up to his evil twin, Nessa, stuffing the pink socks Key got me. She managed to stack the books from the bottom of my library and reached into my hamper and stuffed my property into her diapers. Danny poked his head into my room, surveyed the area, and when he deemed everything ok he left. It was official, I am going to commit murder. "He's fine! He's just waking up your laziest child!" Dan shouted, possibly to my parents. Here I thought he came to make sure the little demons weren't harassing me. Of course not. The least he could have done was gather them in his clutch and chuck them out. I will make him regret his lack of action. "Daniel stop shouting in the house!" my dad's voice boomed through the walls. "And Van and Nessa you better have your toys put away
The drive to Kayla's home was twice as awkward as waiting for the food to arrive. Especially when the waitress came skipping up to us with her cheerful smile. Perhaps it was just the juxtaposition of the story or perhaps it is her oblivious attitude to the atmosphere."So love birds, how is the food?" she giggled as she looked between us. "Can I just say, you two look like a famous celebrity couple or like a fictional power couple,""Can we get this to go?" Kayla politely smiled.Anyone with normal eyes could see that it was fake, but unfortunately for us, our waitress had hearts in her eyes and thus was blinded by her fictional imagination."Ooo, someone is eager to get home huh," she wiggled her eyebrows.Kayla and I made eye contact. I'm glad I am not the only one that found her words inappropriate and very disturbing."Please, can we just get a to-go box?" Kayla tried again."How about dessert w
I didn't find Kiara until the first quarter was around halfway done. If the stink eye she didn't send me wasn't enough to convince me she was mad, the way she didn't even smile at me was sufficient. ''Hey. I'm sorry that I'm late,'' I whispered. Ignored. "Well that doesn't hurt," I mumbled to myself. Because I'm a masochist and Kiki is my dominant I tried again. As expected, her harsh hiss did nothing to make me feel better. I felt a poke to my side and remembered I brought company. I turned to Kayla and she looked at me with her big concerned eyes. I guess I didn't hide my disappointment very well. I smiled at her and focused on the game. I would have my chance in a few minutes. "Hey, I'm cold," Kayla leaned over to whisper to me. I took off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders. It was pretty late so it was bound to be cold out. Kayla linked our arms and laid her head on my shoulder to express her gratitude for doing the bare minimum. As long as she was comfortabl
I sat across from Daniel and watched him as he ate. I knew him so, I knew he wouldn't have eaten anything if I had left it up to him. The twins who could barely form a complex sentence were better at eating than he was. I looked at the time and if I didn't leave soon, I'd be late. Daniel was eating slowly on purpose. That little twit loved to get under my skin any way he could. I should have just thrown him away when I had the chance years ago. "Can you speed this up?" annoyance was very evident in the way I spoke. "Can you give me back my laptop?" he mocked. "Why are you even rushing? We don't live that far from school. Plus, we both know it'll never happen between you and Kiara, right." "Way to give your brother a boost of confidence, " A message came in on my phone just as I was about to slap him. It was from an apparent classmate of mine, Kayla. Kayla and I have never really interacted with each other. I had no idea what her personality was like, but I've seen her around cam
As I glared at Lucas, I imagined all the ways he could die. I just know in my heart that it would be super dumb. He would probably choke on a chicken nugget or fall into a sewer. Perhaps he'll be run over by a Honda Civic or an equally dumb car. ''Do you plan to keep making eyes at each other for the rest of breakfast or...'' Kiara started before she trailed off. I started choking on the air. I coughed and shook my head in hopes of getting those horrible words out of my system. If only I could go back in time and plug my ears to stop myself from ever hearing those words. Lucas was also coughing up a storm. He should feel honoured if I even looked in his direction. "Why are you acting like that? As if you'd be so lucky to ever be in a relationship with me," I rolled my eyes at him. "I don't think you understand the meaning of lucky. I'm not surprised you don't," Lucas clapped back. "Haha, you're so funny. You should do stand-up. At least you have something you could do becau
I listened a bit more, and the noise persisted. There were no sounds of shattering glasses or broken furniture. Were they the quiet kind of burglars? I contemplated whether or not I should wake up Kiara. If I were being robbed, I would want to know. On the other hand, Kiki has had it hard enough, so perhaps she didn't want to know. Ignorance is bliss and all that. Plus, I didn't want her getting in the way and ending up in the hospital. I also had the option of going down there myself. Yes, that seemed like the best option. I slowly unwrapped myself from Kiara's suction grip and crept downstairs. I peeked around the corner and, thankfully, did not encounter a burglar. The sight before me, however, wasn't any less shocking. It was a man gliding around the kitchen with ease. He was humming and dancing as he mixed ingredients in a bowl. He also made a mess of flour and eggshells on the counter, so he was no Masterchef, that's for sure. I wish I could see his face, I wanted to see the
