Creating Haven

Ch 7: The magic poem

"What is the issue? Why were you crying?"

I looked at her as I took another bite from my sandwich. I can't tell her. She is already in so much shit and things aren't seeming to get any better. I can't load her with this too.

"I...am on my periods. Mood swings."

She cocked an eyebrow at me. Seriously Sia? You can think of better excuses than that.

"And you haven't had any mood swings in the past two years? I've seen you cry after a long time. What's wrong?"

I sighed and got up,.keeping the plate on the kitchen counter.

"Nothing is wrong. I just felt like crying. That's it. You can chill."

She looked at me disappointedly and sadly. I can't help it mom, I'm sorry.

I nodded at her and then walked past her to my room.

She has better things to take care of. If I tell her about this, I'm sure she'll do something unacceptable.

I opened my phone when I was in my room to see a number of messages.

*Eliana- Hey babe. How're you holding up? Can you come see me?

I smiled and replied to her instantly.

*Me- Not today. Tomorrow for sure. And I have soooo much to tell you.

There was a message from Grandma too. She never messaged me, she always called. I wonder what it is.

*Grandma- I heard about your father. How is your mother? Is she ill treating you again? Do you want me to take you over for a few days?

I sighed. I now understand. Everytime she talks about dad...she breaks down and starts crying. She is very disappointed in him. And maybe that's why she just messaged me. I pity that woman.

*Me- I'm fine. Although I would love seeing you. How are you though?

And then there was a message from the number I haven't got a message from in a long time.

I clenched my jaws and opened it.

*Ky- I heard about your father. Is your mother alright?

I didn't reply to him and closed my phone, lying down on the bed and resting my eyes. I can't forget what you did to me Ky. I never thought you would believe them over me.

.....

I guess resting my eyes wasn't a good choice afterall. I slept for 3 hours straight and didn't got any sleep at night. Since I was up doing my homework.

Hey! I don't want to get punished by Mr. Kevin again. He was already angry from me last time.

I was finally feeling a little better. Not on edge atleast.

Right then, my phone beeped with a message and I ignored it. It might be from Ky.

But it beeped again. Ky never messages twice at the same time, this must be someone else. I looked at the clock. It was 2am in the morning. Who could it be?

I opened the phone immediately to see a text from Zayden. What the hell?

*Zayden- Do you need a ride to school? Your car is still in the parking.

*Zayden- Don't ignore me. I can see the lights to your room are on.

I quickly got up and ran to my window. I opened it up and cool breeze blew in my face, sending shivers down my spine.

I looked around and saw him standing there. With his phone in his hand and looking at it while his other hand was in his pocket. The breeze was making his longer than normal hairs flow and it...kind of looked sexy.
