The Red String Between Us (On Hold for Rewriting)

Unknown

I lazily got up to checked the clock. My eyes widen when I read its already past 10 A.M. Recalling my mother's demand earlier, my heart skip a beat.

I quickly ran to the door, not bothering to shut it as I shuffled towards the stares, heading down to the kitchen, expecting a ton of dishes to wash.

As I got to the kitchen, I exhaled in relief as I saw Melisa doing all the dishes. Her lips pressed into thin line and her brows furrowed, looking obviously irritated and forced on doing the chore.

I smirked in triumph before walking up to the counter table and grab some sandwich and nutella.

I felt Melisa noticing my presence and her piercing glare at me. Probably annoyed that I didnt obliged on what mom demanded.

"Mom should buy you a coffin instead of a bed", she blurted out with a bitchy tone, while finishing up the dishes.

"And why? cause you want me dead?", I mumbled with my mouth full.

"No, cause you sleep like a dead person, you even smell like one" she said teasingly, shooting me a smirk.

I flared my eyes at her and sarcastically laugh at her joke and smelled my shirt secretly to check if I do. Unfortunately, I had to agree with her.

Im just like this when its vacation, i wake up late. I sleep for hours, almost half of the day. Which is why I have a hard time to sleep at night. I stay up at night just watching tv, playing games on my phone, youtube, read stories on wattpad until I fall asleep. That's pretty much all I do the whole summer. Boring right?

I went to the living room to watch TV with a plate of sandwiches on my hand. I place it on the table near the couch and took the remote and powered on the TV, switching to Nick channel to watch Spongebob.

I was about to sit and relax when my mind reminded me of my phone.

I went back to my bedroom and came looking for my phone in the drawers. I freezed when I heard my phone ring, making me follow the sound, which leaded me towards my bed and down to my pillow. I lifted the pillow, revealing my phone with an unknown number appearing on the screen.

I reached for it to pick it up, but before i could say anything the call ended. My brows drew together in confusion. Well that was rude.

I shrugged brushing off the thought of receiving an unknown call, and swiftly went back to the living room. Finding my big brother Elrey, who's lying and taking over my couch, switching the channel to MTV and also eating my sandwich. My vision darken at the view of him, feeling my blood boil in anger. I stormed towards him, blocking the TV. Shooting him a deathly glare.

"Hey! i sat there first! its my couch and TV!", I scowled to him.

He just raised an eyebrow to me, giving me a boring look.
"Well you left, so its mine now, so go away im busy", pushing me with his feet, making me almost stumble and fall.

I sighed in defeat knowing I wont win an argument with him. I walked back to my room frowning with my mouth mumbling in frustration.
I sat on the edge of my bed, shuffled to my phone, opening it to listen to some music to relax myself.
I scrolled down to my playlist, finding a good song to listen to when a message suddenly pop up from the top of the screen.

I clicked on it and saw a message from the same unknown number that called me awhile ago.
