The End...

The Beginning of the End... I Think

Every day all I do is feel like death should come to me. I have no one except Robin, my boyfriend, and it feels like he's the only one who cares. Everyone else is only there when they need something from me. It's been months since I've been able to be myself again. I've been getting bad remarks about the way I look, the way I act, and even who I am as a person. Well, today is a new day. 

As I woke from my bed my little sister, Amy, and brother, Seth, were fighting over something again. I'm in charge for the weekend, and of course, my parents are gone. They left me enough money to get by, but it'll be gone sooner than later. As I finally pull myself together to get up to get dressed, the screaming stops. Then I hear banging against my door.

 I yell to them, "Hey what's going on you guys?!?"

Buttoning my pants I don't hear a response, just groaning. Paranoid I grab my pocket knife from my bag and go to the door. I'd seen way too many horror flicks. Opening it slowly with just my pants and bra on, I see Seth and hide my knife before he can see it.

"Janie, what are you doing?"

"Getting ready for work kiddo. I called over my good friend, Veronica, to watch you for a bit. I'll leave when she gets here okay?"

"No problem Janie. Love you sis."

"Love you too. AMY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!"

"Just putting on some shorts sissy. I'll be out of the bathroom in a second."

"Alright, just making sure you're okay."

"I'm fine."

"Okay."

After I finish up getting dressed, I walk into the kitchen and I get out the ingredients to make a big breakfast for everyone. It wouldn't be right if I didn't throw together pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and toast while I can. Pulling out the pans I need, Seth comes in and gives me a hug.

"Are we having a breakfast buffet?"

"Yes I'm making it for you, Amy, Veronica, and I. Okay?"

"Alright, can I help?!? Pleeeaassseee????"

"Sure, go set the table kiddo."

"Okay!"

He walked away to the drawers then started pulling out the dishes and utensils. Seth placed them on the table in a pile before he set them out for everyone. Then there came a light knock from the front door.

"Amy I'll get the door!!"

I go and open it to let in Veronica, she walks past me and smiles,

"Where are the little rascals?"

"Amy, Seth, come here please?"

The younger siblings come running up to see their buddy at the door, "Hey Ver we missed you," chimed the two kids in unison.

"Hey, how y'all been?"

"Great, Seth and I have been hanging out with Jessica from school. They're moving soon though..."

Amy looks down at the ground a little sad and so does her older brother, Seth.

"Veronica, mind helping me with breakfast? I've got the things we need but I may need some assistance preparing it."

"No prob sis, let's go! Tummies need to be filled!"

We march into the kitchen like soldiers getting ready to fight on the front line.
