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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHczVKPYbXk
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEGegXmLtp
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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1It6cewMQ
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQU58jcQUL
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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWni02q1g2u

929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN29FmY6Brz
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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOMXoC8C4O
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTk4DLoAl3
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA5XauehHb
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR56FAd0WH
"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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQryrZTIES
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU657zuu7ZD
"Eh...Eh..." 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYxUNFpel7
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76R3jJJaqF
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlyw7fYxW4
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcWGkrcicq
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfW8cXkGI6
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyqfaQU0uO
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq4wZMj0rD
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9va1AySoP
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqXA9FRKLj
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1XFilJMNN
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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLshwboGYYw
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGr4wCETYb
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOjRUHdROY
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgsTomyOLG
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRdQuS5GY2
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB42qQPFbF
"Baba, take this girl away."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FT2DAECmY
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUl4EHJyHd
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5iIGc8Kbs
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX954hJrqMs
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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6CratxeZo
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOnZWZU4Wo
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDYIZYH9be
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ1iIFvuj1
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFE4ROcbYs
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Hpb9PINu
"Bunny?"929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsaeZUUErM

"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wBbRj6ja2
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMEKYRgDoQ
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PScBhgUVq
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7SI6k2Hgi
"What happened?" 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz9IdMuKfO
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZBhGjt8fI
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoD9Um7wCu
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeKS7AsnoM
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86VyuTEzOQ
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bP2UsyAZU
I sighed again, "I would."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6CWeDtcLp
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZnjPbhm0X
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou4DvAdLb9
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35tHXWogID
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfYFL0yzik
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KX91JHM6y
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Ibb7MGe1
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWgX8vl0G3
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdi0okixJj
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99qtZsIWtx
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qx61nJa1Z
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlyAL51KGl
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiSV4s4CEP
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrAxLhRGDb
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpJj2gLFl7
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaBEhm8vHR
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpv5STSiZo
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX6adCPPgh
"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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArLteS8Zax
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeV5SGvVvy
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUy2HRjWII
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgTg3OyF5e
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsDLbfPAL
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVPMGG4W1L
"Yes, ma," she said. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHuZe9p2U
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdVnVC0Uo9
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwUBpYdLCB
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP33xq51xWN
"Indomie!" She squealed. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJMhLsNYy2
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxu6K8A4Pw
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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRfGNZAXek
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSp8KjkDgJ
"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. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBmORKqS6B
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf16vrB1vWa
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeiYEebRc9
929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV2NJrKZn8
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQnm1h3H3
