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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F4eQW3Dr6
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW60tGtvKe
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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTeHzVSFfe

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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTR955WMv1

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ7NRcO8J6
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10FQlHTo7
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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK9FW8PDMm
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKvDW4312s
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ136ycW8Vwa
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipLp3kRncX
"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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N8jnMjTVb
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS3vUm2ALK
"Eh...Eh..." 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjElHPGS4O
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTctPXckger
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw28aErIt7S
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH0w6fnZbV
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ6uLGLLU0
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKsd4fZb8C
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWoKQEiTf3
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOwurOBjjD
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcroJQbRwU
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLUcAwLhQA
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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdtmzXpvwr
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsagfjSWUo
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EvIeWjrUL
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYxj1G0OZG
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDedK7pngRS
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVtVwSbwJM
"Baba, take this girl away."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhlKiD05I8
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk3rdOkPjR
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUE2jA2IwZ
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGClVt4390P
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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD2CHkLzLT
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY2yVGD3au
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd09vzepY5
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlCaaXX2b
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN03AnD2LZ
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeW5eNaHY5
"Bunny?"582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G6Ebf3iDl
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAaNpJ3HLS
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwovXiN0Md4
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk00UKXr6M6
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PefBPoqXh
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig6PFdGtU4
"What happened?" 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZtL4YV7O1
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmxPvJV6kb
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtzUXGkVdk
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZGm89D2V1
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4YAl6Gb6
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONupoFySrv
I sighed again, "I would."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95VftIpoAR
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13t2mmF3HI
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYnKMdMNnU
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwQK2HmPRk
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNjZz3td1j
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvE2Hd60x3
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmEo1TG6m4
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssk6QYMu89
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mnSqlHyX
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHYF6QA107
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kKgfSnW06
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwan8tnAwWn
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vVKcm8TYk
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6PtvEy8T
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD496S8PKxS
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlloXQc2fs
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOBIrjadon
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL2I95qv0U
"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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdF61rUog
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiD6UaBV0
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojW5GP13vG
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Y9nXx701
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7R9oOecKf
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWIn8g8MW9
"Yes, ma," she said. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxwyQJczus
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nrcSvT0EG
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBhled2jYw
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZkEpsXQs
"Indomie!" She squealed. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaOC10qLIw
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48PAgURCj2
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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV9liSxMQE
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqdmeTFIzz
"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. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpKD7vnrAB
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsqVzp8ZGD
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyq1NJlloj
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtUZBcOrVO
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4T3plEarG
I went rigid.
