Cursed Loop

CHAPTER IX

I wake up from my bed, still having a stomach ache. I shove my hand through the long hanging bangs of mine to spruce it up. While me, thoughtfully recalling yesterday the events.

“How bad did that little imp do to my stomach?” *scowling my expression*
*exhaled* “She’s so annoying”
(Good thing it’s Saturday which means I won’t see her this time)

I got up from bed then start my routine. After wearing tracksuit for my morning run, I kicked away the trash bags then walk towards the door. As soon as I opened the door, a hand burst it open from outside. That shiny black hair of her that correspond those excited doe eyes while smiling widely and mischievously.

“Come with me, the tickets for Disneyland is 50% off!”
“It’s fucking 5 AM in the morning”
“Don’t miss out this out~”
“Just study first; it’s just a waste of time” *casting you to move aside*
“Take chances; it’s not like every day we can get to Disneyland”
“From Ohio to California, are you serious?” *scoffs*

I jog through the hallway that made a distance from her. After hearing echoed footstep, I slightly look behind.

“YOU’RE COMING WITH ME MOTHERFUCKER!”

Frightened by the sight of a hideous devil running after me, I shift my jog into a run for your life. The footsteps are getting louder and louder that signal she is getting close.

“Just leave me alone…”

Trying to even escape from that monster is useless. She jumped high enough to tackle me on the head.

(Fuck her tiny body)

We both are walking through the crowd outside. If you’re wondering how I got here firstly, she dragged my head then threw me inside a car, somehow getting to an airplane but smaller and now we are here.

“Hey…can I take these Mickey Mouse ears now?”
"Nope! Not until you had fun"
"Don't involve me on your childish plays"
"Having fun is not childish"
"It is if kids are having fun on it"
*Looking away* "Well...no one is happy if the kids don't get happy also"

Hearing those words made me remember my grandparents. It irritated me, clinging on the past doesn't make you mature.

"Then I guess your parents can't make you happy..."

She froze then looked at me with those sorrowful eyes. Silence last for like an eternity mot until she shifted her expression into a forced smile.

"Haha... you're funny"

It irritates me more.

"You know that if you get close too much to me, you will be bullied also"
"Haha...I could just tell them to my father"
"You don't even call him dad"

Silence reappears again. Right now, a much longer time before she spoke.

(Did I spoke too much?)

I got worried that my heart starts to beat fast.

"You know...he's not even my real father..."

I tried to compose myself from shock that pushed me to bit my lip. As I turn away and say sorry.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't been here"

As I walked away from her, she makes haste grabbing my arm.

"Stay near me, you might get lost again"
"Again? When did—" *Memories of the mansion reoccur*
"When we—"
"Yeah...I remember now, now get off me"

She frees my arm and said this to me in a serious look.

"Promise me to stay with me!"
"Ugh... you're so persistent. Why should it even be me?"
"Because you're very handsome" *those grin and mischievous glistening eyes don't lie*
"Tch! For fucks sake..."
