Can we save ourselves from the bitter feelings? bet not. The life cycle is overall the very same. Put a fake smile and live as if nothing matters.It doesn't matter because the brain is already declared as dead inside.The siblings were cackling and listening to the songs that played on the aux. Enrico was on the drivers seat, whilst Savio on the passenger. Sienna sat in the middle of the back seat, Seraphina on one side and Vito on the other.She gazed at the scenery that went by but her ears were somewhat listening to the people who had long forgotten her.The aching within her chest had gone dull but the itching didn't. She had too cover up the patches of red and purple with the concealer she stole from her mothers drawer.Constantly scratching her arm, she fought the will to scream out in pain. Her breathing was calm however the taste of the bile still lingered on her tongue.‘They don't care.’ The voice darkly chuckled, to which she inwardly snorted.She knew it well that she mea
“We’re back.” Sienna yelled as she threw herself on the couch in exhaustion.“Oh oh. What did you get? Where is my share?” Raffaello emerged from the kitchen with a bucket of icecream tucked under his armpit.“Dude, do I even know you?” Shrugging, she gave him a small grin.“Young lady, you exactly know who I am otherwise why would you live in a strangers house?” He mocked back, taking a seat next too her, making her giggle in response. “Give this too me.” Savio ripped away the creamy coldness, earning a loud groan from him in return. “Sav. Icecream cannot be taken as a joke. So give it back to me.”“No can do. Get more from the freezer.” He flipped him off, plopping himself opposite to Sienna. “Rude hoe.” Raffaello mumbled.“Done with the shopping?” Agostino appeared before them with his phone latched to his ear. “Yep.” Sienna replied. He nodded and sat on his specific spot.“Did you get Seraphina everything she needed?” Alfonso asked, a folded paper in his fist.The chatter abruptly
The next day, she arrived at the breakfast table before anyone could, but Agostino sat with the same coffee mug in his hand.“Morning.” She whispered to which he tilted his head up and nodded in return.Taking a seat infront of him, Seraphina folded her hands on her lap. “Good morning.” Alfonso erupted from the kitchen with a small smile on his face. Taking a seat opposite to her, he asked, “Ready for tomorrow?”Arching an eyebrow, she leaned back, confused.“I meant it’s your first day of school tomorrow, aren't you excited?”She gave him a shrug. “Don't know.”Eying her sleepy face, he didn't ask anymore.Alfonso was someone who loved his siblings more than anything. He could even take a bullet for them, if needed. Even when he was just a teenager, he cared and pampered his brothers until the little girls came along. The girls were the sunshine in their life. Their screechy laughs and vigorous babbling lit up the dark house. The two of them had their favorites, like Sienna was alway
Hiding in the moonlight. It’s not grand but it’s hard.Whispering while hiding her body in a small secluded basement. Darkness the only friend known forever. Slowly her hands reached out hoping for salvation.Was she weird? Bloody dark basement.Finally at the end of the dawn when she couldn't fall asleep, it was like she was wandering through a nightmare with her eyes open.The whole day she had stayed in her room, the emotion of nervousness peaking to its head. Tomorrow was the first day of school and was she excited? The answer was simply a no.School was something she always hated but sadly it was her escape. An escape from the terrible reality which resided in her previous house.Her grades were perfect, since she always wanted her so called parents to know that she was worth something.Sighing for the hundredth time, she reached for the locket that was always hidden in her backpack.That one locket given by someone special who had faith in her that one day she would be able to s
Striding through the hallways, Seraphina sighed. It was almost nine-thirty and still she was busy finding the office.“God damn it. Where the hell is the office in this humongous school?!” She screeched out in silence. The students long gone to there respective classrooms.Rubbing her temple, she glanced at the map Alfonso had given to her. Tilting the paper upside down she starred at the smudgy arrows but it wasn't helping at all.“Alfonso your writing and drawing sucks.” She huffed out in irritation. “What am I supposed to do now?”“Um.. are you looking for something?” A timid voice spoke from behind her. Turning around, Seraphina sighed in relief. “To be honest, yes. I’m kinda lost here.” She nervously chuckled whilst rubbing her nape, embarrassment creeping up on her cheeks.“Lost? New?” The girl asked, gripping her books tightly against her chest.“Yeah. Need to look for the office.”The girl gave her a small nod, signaling her to follow. “I’ll lead you the way, common.”Seraphin
“Watch me dance. Watch me sing.”The girls and the boys chanted the line over and over again as Sienna and her wannabes entertained them with there moves.The cheerleaders practiced there dance for the upcoming finale of the football match. There sexy steps were more than perfect and above all they had the best hour glass shaped bodies.Soon the music came to halt as the bell rang, indicating that it was lunch time.The students left the ground one by one leaving Seraphina behind. Finally after several moments she lifted herself from the bench and made her way towards the cafeteria where everyone was already seated.“Fuck this is just what I needed. More attention.” She cursed under her breath but nevertheless went inside with a heavy head.Entering, she heard the chatter die down instantly.There lingering eyes made her feel like an intruder. Sighing, she strided towards an empty table in the far corner but was stopped by a familiar voice.“Seraphina! Here, come sit with us.”Hesitan
The rest day of the school went by in somewhat peace? And now Seraphina was sitting on the dining table with a half glass of water in her hand, her brain recalling the events that had held earlier.Seraphina never wanted to embarrass Sienna in the middle of the cafeteria but she had left her no other choice.Sienna deserved it. She was cunning yet so innocent at the same time.Fulvio and Vito walked in kitchen side by side. Them, talking about something Seraphina wasn't interested in. “Are they coming home this week?” Vito asked, as he grabbed an apple from the counter.“Probably not. They’re busy solving the issues of the carico (load). But Tino would invite them over after everything is settled.” Fulvio replied, shrugging. His eyes glancing towards her, who was busy staring in the midst. “Ah right. Tino has been working late, lately.”“How was school?”“Just the usual. Girls, classes and detentions. How monotonous.” Vito scoffed, jumping on the isle to take a seat.“Better study if
Light a flower, flower work.Where’s the end to the abyss? It starts with a opening but what if that start was closed off?But it’s never too late for craving; craving for determination.Kicking the stone with her torn sneaker, she slowly walked in the dark. Her body still felt hot and numb as usual. The after effects still lingered around. She wasn't feverish from the cold water but instead she felt itchy all over. She may or may have not have eaten eggs again. The lunch that was served in the cafeteria had yolks that were mashed. How could she have not realized it? And the fun fact, she forgot to take her medicines before leaving.‘You are seriously gonna die like this.’ The voice mumbled. Seraphina shrugged, making her way towards the park that came into view.“Ain’t it better that way? I’ve always wanted to die you know. The self inflicted scars tells you the story of it. Oh wait - you’re actually the one who told me too inflict it and s-surprisingly it was a good way to numb off
