The Unremembered Night.

I lost everything when I was ten. My parents, my home, my sense of safety, and whatever was left of my childhood.But then again... life was never fair. Not to people like me.* * *The atmosphere in the restroom was tense and it felt like the air in my chest was punched out as I stared at the pink lines in the pregnancy test strip in my hands."How did... how did this happen?"I asked myself, but no answer came. My legs gave way, and I sank onto the closed toilet seat, the pregnancy test still clutched in my fingers. I'd convinced myself before that it was just stress. The late shifts at the grocery store, the constant worry about tuition fees.. all of it could explain a missed period.But deep down, I knew. The nausea that hit me every morning, the exhaustion that sleep couldn't cure, and the way my body felt different. It was something I did not want to just speak of.."Think, Kaira. Think." I tried to recall how it happened but couldn't get anything.Everything blurred together

An Escape Plan.

The car ride home was suffocating. I sat in the backseat, near the window, staring out as familiar streets blurred past. Aunt Martha was driving the car, and Tonia sat closer to her in the front seat. I was always shouted at for accepting a free ride from them. Why would they ride someone like me, even sitting comfortably? I was denied the time to learn to drive. Tonia always reminds me of my wretched life, there is no need to learn it since I would never be able to own a car. I was always forced to bow respectfully to thank them after a successful ride with them. Though it's rare, except for an important matter like this one. Aunt Martha's knuckles were white on the steering wheel, her jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle twitching. Tonia kept shooting glances at me through the rearview mirror, her eyes gleaming with a cruel satisfaction.When we pulled into the driveway of our home, I bowed to both of them, thanking them for the ride.But, I was ignored. The silence was d

Unexpected Turns.

The soft knock on my door came exactly as I'd expected. "Kaira? I'm coming in," Tony said.I quickly composed myself. When Tony entered, his face was filled with the same pity I'd grown accustomed to seeing from him. "Are you... Okay?" He asked, his voice was barely above a whisper."I'm fine," I said, forcing a weak smile."Thank you for what you did out there. You didn't have to...""Why not?" His interruption came quickly and intensely. "I should have stepped up sooner, then it might not have turned out this way. I'm sorry, Kaira. I'm so sorry for all of this. It's my fault." Tony added."You are someone special.. and I.. I let them continuously hurt you for so long. I was a fool.." The genuine remorse in his voice made my throat tighten. I looked away, afraid I might cry."And now, they want you to go to the grocery store," he continued, his hands fidgeting at his sides. "I know it's not fair, I.. let me go with you.. ""No. You don't have to. I'll be fine, brother." The word

Breaking Point.

Oliver James was a senior at my university. I remembered him from my first year, when I was scrambling for every penny to stay enrolled and he was gliding through his final year like he owned the world. The rumors about him being transferred from some prestigious university abroad to here followed him. His reasons were that he preferred home. Everything about him had irritated me then. The designer clothes, the casual way he'd buy coffee for entire study groups without blinking, the confidence that came from never having to check your bank account before ordering anything. I'd lumped him in with all the other rich spoiled kids. Shallow, completely disconnected from reality.But Oliver had always been... different. When I'd dropped my books rushing to my part-time job, he'd helped me gather them. When other students whispered about me, being a money grubber, he'd simply nod hello like I was worth his time.It had confused me, made me question my hatred of anyone born with a silver sp
