Gabriela P.O.V
I threw the toy on the floor, disgusted with it. It was a little Barbie doll that my parents bought for me, claiming I would love it. They assumed things without asking me first what I wanted.
I sighed jumping off my bed. I needed to go to the bathroom because I was pressed. I was irritated that the bathroom wasn't in my room. I had to go out of my room to do that. I didn't like meeting people, I loved being alone.
Opening my door, I peered out of the door making sure no one was within arm's length. Should I make a run for it? I smiled at the thought. I ran halfway when the annoying voice that belonged to my cousin sounded.
"Where are you running to, huh?" She demanded authoritatively.
Taking a deep breath, I turned to face her. "Bathroom, I answered." With that, I ran to the bathroom.
"I will just be waiting for you," she shouted at me. I inwardly cursed. I finished my business and came out.
Not surprisingly, she carried out her threat.
"Gabriela."
"Jessica," I scoffed, not looking at her but the floor with my hands placed inside my jeans pocket.
"I am sick and tired of you, you know? I am here to spend time with you and all you do is ignore me each time I try to strike up a relationship with you. Do I smell or what?"
I looked at her. "Listen, I just want to be alone, OK? You just have to get used to it," I said.
She frowned, and said, "well, you can't always keep to yourself."
I didn't want to stand there blabbing. I walked off, heading to my room.
"You know it's rude to walk out on people. It's this attitude of yours that hinders you from making friends," she reminded me. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2wceMG6kr
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23cxOarYaq
I didn't care what she had to say. I wanted to be alone; there wasn't anything rude or weird about that. I got into the room and closed the door behind me, breathing deeply. Every time I talk to people for long, it makes me weak and frightened. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw4x1XvoPs
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAQIqLkAgb
If only my parents were here right now, things would have been much better, I affirmed to myself. I quickly sat down, taking deep breaths as my doctor advised. I felt better after 25minutes. And I decided to take a nap. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGoYBFkzc4

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xQaJEqiF
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NdQg5qKD8
I shuffled through the sales book as anger surged inside of me. The useless girl ran from the store with her arms full of clothes. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTwweoIC6Z
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kI5g56AAp
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR9HhMhnzs
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ApMbzniF
"What happened to the blue gown embellished with sparkling stones?" I queried.
I watched as her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. I knew she had stolen my clothes. I wondered how many more she had stolen that I didn't know about. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrCBwpvom9
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgvX0acrRU
"Eh...Eh..." 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1tLwGgafS
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xhbJTAsb
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzfnL6toDG
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5S9fOtV3C
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaAp5jPrgX
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zPLV6GiGq
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuWauMSchq
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla1RTrhYaZ
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL7qF7DvOd
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KSOuc9XPy
I had had enough of these lies. "Keep those things over there,” I pointed to an empty chair. I don't want to talk too much, go and clean up your desk. You are no more working here," I said with finality. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghxqEBas8L
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLJYLvlIQZ
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LvZgReqRc
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1obeOxCa0g
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwS2TgjPL3
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHFFr5pvuN
"Baba, take this girl away."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaXs9G9NDv
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp8tzXMtd3
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo27PmdBgqV
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGKlNbQr6q
My mind went to my daughter, Gabriela. I missed her so much. I was so scared to leave her all by herself because of a disorder she had. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y8tl0KXyk
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuisrOQxx6o
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaZf8Cy4Hw
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9KZvnzjoc
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZcD63n70
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E9yAAfPpN
"Bunny?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmXtUGhD4R
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGMklPxUFH
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQvppeCd4m
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLiGeAzblu
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqBg3DIJ4
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBnhcVVhsU
"What happened?" 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6BAFBBmiW
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWQrdWIp0e
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiukIEJVGf0
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqHiuN9bvg
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy1tuwFkcp
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPop2cUw49d
I sighed again, "I would."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviL0tU4lde
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vAEkDCLI
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfhPWLM0yE
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkKcJShajx
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MRyzpmiOZ
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBmcLYmcgm
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06effqT3gq
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz6KzbbFcU
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOchcNgu4D
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwvo6etE0u
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXZboLkVgP
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLds0QL1XYO
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUP4458ruD
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gAWY0XRZ
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNxBi4RXSv
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVveHIgoD2n
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM6M0jis0v
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwINSU3OZAZ
"Bye," I said and hung up, not waiting for his reply. I was so angry with his suggestion. It did not go down well with me. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10iJ9FKibm
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffeP3akK3Q
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgZBfgL7sX
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9dm9h13W7
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYETUQNtHW
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJu5TbBr8
"Yes, ma," she said. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukj4T7CF6I
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lqvDh73RK
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhqJ26Bqw
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr3lSjFSPo
"Indomie!" She squealed. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBT4lf5Joz
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZULDdYnFv2
I smiled. She was so normal. Why couldn't my daughter be like that? I wished.
I sighed as I went to work. A few minutes later, dinner was ready to be served. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJa5RMk7K2
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3IA0a02O
"Go and call your uncle for me. Be quick," I shouted. I laid down the dish on the dining table and waited for my husband to come. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaW7nepwNO
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcYcXDjpYt
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcORL21Hdf
694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3duytcRVM
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbzgqOubON
I went rigid.
