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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bNMMFewwQ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvpPTB1gd
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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Lx9DlcKr

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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA4eFAMdM9

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr6bOFuCC3
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3iPohl4kJ
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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxzKXJHGmq
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISHhjNaK8L
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9YsykZPth
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXGzxuYo2I
"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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRy33GBE96
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx0qYa5Gh5
"Eh...Eh..." 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGAV7ztC9J
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH4GwSElFJ
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqWGM45ApE
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl04xpSVww
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX1e1xRGYF
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y2TOAX5H5
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCencn5TNUm
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWc7nkqIoc
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUTYg3DOiA
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnb5Iz1F7G
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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMOvXqjnSs
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti5oK48xJY
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimabvrKnHc
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DWPgGnf1z
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9bufORMgG
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwc9bOmfg
"Baba, take this girl away."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oNckLfpM8
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeRZcTyv4w
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ACDyUBo4
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySfVrnkRi
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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1W4hBQ9mG
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA44G2Ke6Sk
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvycc9Lh9H
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKV9BiWQ9Y
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDBTrGjhMX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9WKLJLeFv
"Bunny?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF8Lk3PpjN
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjNOjv0zkn
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Bckaz5uC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fWZHZSJWn
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOLzhuTyLm
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYqkjhoNnK
"What happened?" 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeyj5cGejB
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLjNUs2WPC
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpUo1pwr9v
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jJPz5QdEZ
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtZl86k3aD
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lqRba2t5f
I sighed again, "I would."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc5BJ8qfou
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQPU4UUrP
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJBEiLFAlQ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1xlzMEJfg
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lgWafQRrw
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpNbHFuc7n
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuvC6qUGSt
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj5eALuWjO
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSpQUvmmxH
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1QyUgpy0b
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKrMtBK0yx
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6VQqrnUXy
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaSVsnXuP6
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLUtX7wcFA
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gaPlTtH0
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAD6WtFQpT
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2YTPdiXcX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHSaQtE4E4
"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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ016LcSPZO2
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q0A5k3eZN
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWynZFWgCeM
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6meOBPADJH
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU10Zcdy2f
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPDns1hkpY
"Yes, ma," she said. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYocjTu0SGq
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVDEjnzaay
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFZHJaYHk
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3xoIgD57d
"Indomie!" She squealed. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z7PQSoURp
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0vzjhLvAN
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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgoynUKv3V
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIXLhuAnFq
"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. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQDvuNB0Zx
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT52Hurrp2
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpL8fBvXkH
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X8waR41qW
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXWvNbrbDh
I went rigid.
