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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRIEKLvaRc
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxCQbxttNc
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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVll3gGZvRG

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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnPFXpWCKF

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvjxLYLKeS
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofYq3wpyc
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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlDatklZnM
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJYVh8oZjh
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdhIOnoP4p
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLZv5FoIPg
"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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTtZbWjAG4
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjDFLEjbw1
"Eh...Eh..." 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnUL3NZt0C
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gVN4CAn3m
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL52ejkL8AJ
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE57czelT3V
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN3XnOTwzM
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e7PfZFBtL
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKm5a3xYD
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOnrNHOgxZ
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrvEf28ilB
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqCjSSgzzW
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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08iEUPjzLV
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXsrhTlDLG
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk33WB5dXf
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14GAKZTVYt
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEALSXMXPn
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg3vQLspj6
"Baba, take this girl away."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR1rhWByoA
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9JjLGSGLw
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YLMP9MvVu
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ516FFtm9JB
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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJRPCB2n1x
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzCTpWWs9H
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HI31O3XWV
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUoWZhNPdm
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyCG74YNQL
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosat1bJ1Km
"Bunny?"562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvmr8AK3f6
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnxAAY75f8
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ofR4m426H
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixNWaHyrZi
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuzCPsnYx7
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt4E3Pq2Vq
"What happened?" 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEgRzeN1o3
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0U5I4NBLn
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZdpWisMt8
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OClxv945m
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFn5LQvH9r
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpP13UveB9
I sighed again, "I would."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C5r1liv5V
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmplGF0Zd
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop7hIZWOb9
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzoeXmQwiM
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhTYVAB6bw
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS4ViOQCez
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKwou9vFIp
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRuSQ0LrBD
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmJFFiOSKM
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP4mH2Oe99
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX5IRPxfB4
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJTSuOW7rO
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK9y1MK3FS
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoqJdK7KPD
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvPgsJPFtK
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPz3xfPmwh
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKdsR4e9x5
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySiGBnEek
"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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW2IwMLWsX
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjA7ukH5AF
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh57WWtqJu
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2enZBWbGV
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4KEPVEOfO
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZwFNm5mOP
"Yes, ma," she said. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzz4cuuG3j
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W7wyeJ3DD
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4d5ms0Swc
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXZbejojEc
"Indomie!" She squealed. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YtMO39dxU
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiGIAfL1MN
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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOKHsaNTh9
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK3wDyzSF5
"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. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUBCqTh6a9
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHKwqjkf8
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4hTEiQQg
562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1Vdfbwve
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXoiTWggWW
I went rigid.
