"WHAT NOW RIRI? YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO RIGHT THINGS? YOU'RE SO STUPID!!! YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! YOU LITTLE SH*T!! CAN'T YOU THINK STRAIGHT? YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT I ALWAYS WORK HARD FOR YOU?! FOR YOUR FOOD AND TUITION FEES BUT HERE YOU ARE! ALWAYS GETTING ON TROUBLE!! WHY DOES YOUR TEACHER SUDDENLY CALL ME? WHAT DID YOU DO YOU F*CK? HMM?" My Dad shouted angrily at me while he's driving our way to my school.

It looks like he's not my father right? But believe me or not, he's my biological father. After my Mom died because of cancer, my Dad became like this. Even if he already remarried. I never felt his love as a father.

We are currently on his pick-up truck. My Professor, Mr. Reyes and the Dean, Mrs. Pittman wants to talk to him about the things happening to me inside the school.

He's not called because I did something wrong or break a school rule. I'm a top student. One of the smartest students in the dean's list.

I'm an introvert type of girl. Everyone says I'm a genius. Yeah sure.. And that is the reason why some of my classmates bullied me. It's because I'm smart, they're jealous of me because they're stupid. They're telling me that I only got high grades because I'm just seeking for Instant position using the teachers.

My professor, Mr. Reyes, saw my cuts and bruises after the bitches beat me inside the storage room of the gymnasium.

We cross paths on the hallway. He saw me walking weirdly while holding my left shoulder where Jean kick me. He immediately notice my cuts and bruises on my cheeks, lips, arms and legs. Also a hand prints around my neck, where Rich choke me.

I told him, I dont want his help, that I can manage it myself. But he didn't listen and report it to Miss Pittman, the reason they called my father today.

But since my father's brain is so small, just like a coffee bean. In his eyes, I'm the bad person, I'm the troublesome daughter. He didn't even notice my cuts and bruises. He didn't even notice that I'm in pain, that I'm hurt. He just don't care.

We already reach the university. We passed the guard who smiled at me genuinely and open the gate widely before Dad park his truck inside.

"The Teachers will tell you everything." I said simple.

I was about to get out when my Dad pull the collar of my shirt, forcefully pulling me towards him.

"IF THEY TELL ME SOMETHING I DIDN'T LIKE AND JUST WASTE MY TIME, I SWEAR TO GOD!! I'LL BEAT YOU UP MYSELF EVEN IF YOUR AUNT MILDRED AND ESHA IS IN THE HOUSE WATCHING!!!" I immediately pulled my shirt before getting out of the truck.

~♥~

"Hello, Mr. Varfey. We're really sorry for disturbing you but I'm worried  about your daughters safety. One of the professor of this university saw your daughter with cuts and bruises yesterday. But your daughter her don't want to tell us the name of the students who hurt her." Mrs. Pittman calmly said.

"No!! That's not fair!! I want that students to be punished!They hurt my precious daughter. Can't you see it? She's in so much pain!! She can't even get up without crying in pain." My so called "Father" acted that he's concern.

"We want to help her but we can't do anything if she'll stay quiet."

"Princess? Why won't you tell them who hurt you? Just tell them so that they won't bother you ever again." Dad said, worriedly.

I want to believe that he's really worried about me that he still love me.. Even just a little bit of affection, just a little. I just want to feel my father's love but when I saw him look at me with threathening wide eyes secretly saying "YOU'RE WASTING MY F*CKING TIME" Then and there, I know there's nothing left of love inside his heart for me. It really is empty.

~♥~

"YOU BASTARD! IS THAT THE REASON WHY YOUR TEACHERS CALLED ME? IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF A FUCKING TROUBLE YOU CAUSE? BECAUSE YOU SNITCH ON YOUR BULLIES? WHY DIDN'T YOU FIGHT? HMM?? YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER!! YOU'RE WEAK JUST LIKE HER! I WISH I JUST ABANDONED YOU AFTER YOUR MOTHER DIED!! MAYBE!! JUST MAYBE I WILL BE HAPPY!! CAN I JUST KILL YOU?" Dad shouted before slapping me on my left cheeks before shoving me forcefully. My butt meeting the cold hard marble floor.

He immediately kick me repeatedly on my arms, shoulder. head, stomach, hips and legs. I didn't fight back or he'll punish me more. I can't do anything, just protect my head with my small hands.

"YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT!!! YOU'RE SO STUPID!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY DID I LET YOU STAY WITH US!! I FUCKING HATE YOU AND YOU'RE MOM! JUST KILL YOURSELF!! YOU PIECE OF SH*T!!" he said before kicking my side one last time before running upstairs.

I look up to check if he's still there but another pair of eyes caught mine. Aunt Mildred smirks widely before grabbing an egg from the kitchen counter and walk towards me.

He sat infront of me while looking at me weirdly and creepily. He cracked the egg on top of my head before laughing. The slimey egg travels from my head until it reached the floor.

"Opps! My hand slipped! I didn't mean too but the egg looks good on you, you brat" she stated before slapping me again. "You deserved it"

"It's your turn Esha! Let her clean this messed up after you're done, K?" Mildred said before following my Dad upstairs.

"Sure Mom!" Esha smiled devilishly, she look at me without any emotions.

When she saw her Mom dissapeared upstairs, she rushed towards me, immediately helping me to stand up and cleaned my head with a piece of cloth.

"I'm sorry, Sis. I can't help you earlier. I want to but, you know?" she told you teary-eyed.

Esha is Mildred and Dads daughter, Basically I'm 5 years older than her. Mildred and Dad is already in a relationship before my mom died. They are the reason why my mom choose death, even if there's still hope..

Esha always help me when her Mom and our Dad didn't look or absent. She will pretend to be mean infront of them and me but in the other side. She is a softy and a cry Baby.

"I understand, It's okay, I also don't want you to be punish." You smiled sweetly but immediately winced when you felt your arm feel pain.

"I'll clean this messed up, I'll bring you to your room first--"

"I can do it myself, I can walk upstairs but can you please clean this up? I don't have an energy to work. I'm exhausted." I smiled tiredly.

"Sure, I'm sorry Sis" She whispered-shout.

"It's Okay"

~♥~

I immediately sprawled on my bed, staring blankly at the wall.

"Why am I so unfotunate?"

I laughed loudly to myself until I felt tears streaming down my temples. I immediately push them away harshly but it won't stop. I gave up and just cry my eyes out, curling into a ball, hugging myself.

"Why am I so miserable?" I whispered to myself.

But I didn't know that someone is already listening to my every cry. Watching me break down.

After balling my eyes out. I started to open my books and laptop to begin working on my activities. I don't care if my body ache like sh*t, I need to do my task at school to get out of this hell of a house.

That's why I'm working hard on my studies, this is my only chance to get out of my miserable life. I want to have my freedom. I want to smile and be happy again. I want my life to be mine so that, no one will hurt me, ever again.

I began reading my activities and answered it peacefully when I suddenly heard a thud on my door. I look towards my door and saw Esha checking on me. A tray of dinner on her hands.

"Hey.." Esha whispered before closing the door. "I brought you dinner. I know you didn't eat anything yet so here you go" she said softly before placing the tray beside my laptop.

"Thank you, Esha. What am I gonna do without you here?" I said before sighing. She immediately pull my head on her stomach and caress my hair, gently. I immediately hug her waist and bury my face on her stomach.

"I really am sorry, Rir---"

"Esha? where are you, young lady!? It's already past midnight! You need to rest for your shoot tomorrow!" Mildred shouted before opening my door.

"EWW!! DON'T TOUCH ME!" Esha push me away from her the reason I fall from my sit to the floor. "I told you to clean my room but you didn't!! I'll tell this to mom!" Esha shouted like a little brat but I know inside her, she's cringing.

She turned around and saw her Mom looking at us satisfied with a big wide smirk on her face.

"Well, Well? Why aren't you cleaning my daughters room? and how dare you touch her?" She walked towards me before grabbing a fistful amount of my hair, yanking it upward.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I'm just busy about my activities at school!" I shouted back while looking at Esha who looks so guilty.

"Let her be, Mom! I'll let her clean my room tomorrow. I'm already exhausted so." she said before exiting my room.

"You should do what Esha say or I'll hurt you more" Mildred whispered, slapping my cheeks before leaving, closing my door behind her with a loud thud.

I stand up, dusting myself off before sitting on my chair again before sighing deeply. I look up at the ceiling, blankly staring at it, when my phone vibrated.

Sissy 🌺:

I'm really sorry, T-T

^^^^^^Me: ^^^^^^

^^^It's okay don't worry.^^^

I placed my phone on the table when it vibrates again. I didn't respond to it. I shut my laptop down and take a quick shower. After taking a shower. I wear my pajamas, turned off the lights before laying on my bed.

I stared at the ceiling blankly. I'm pissed but I don't want to feel this. I'm not mad at Esha but at the same time I feel like I should be. She's my only friend but I think she really can't sacrifice her mom for me.

Esha is a model for teen magazines. The reason her Mom loves her. She never attended school. She don't know how to read nor write. Her Mom do that to her, to manipulate her life. I wanna save her, but how? I can't even save myself.

*BANG*

I jerk up when I heard something banging inside my closet. I got curious but stayed at my spot.

*THUD*

Something fell somewhere. I immediately look around but darkness seems to be more darker.

"Who's there?" I asked quietly and calmly. No one answered of course.

I stayed still, getting ready on what might happen.

I waited patiently but nothing happen.

I look around my room one last time, checking if I can already move safely before getting out of my bed to turn on the lights.

"How are you?" I was about to flick on the lights when someone whisper softly on my ears.

I immediately flick the lights on before turning around but I didn't saw anyone behind me.

His voice sound soft, deep and velvety giving me goosebumps when I heard him whispered. I looked around my room but I didn't saw anyone.

I'm not afraid of him. I'm pissed off actually. I wanna sleep so bad, I'm exhausted and the night is the only thing I can enjoy alone and peacfully but here he is, disturbing me.

"Can you please leave me alone?" I asked but no one answered.

"I'm exhausted and restless, can you please stop bothering me or else" I said angrily before turning off the light, stomping towards my bed. When something tugged on my arm, stopping me from going anywhere.

"Or else what, Baby girl?"

I didn't saw anyone infront of me because of the darkness but my other hand flung forward to slap whoever the f*ck is touching me. I don't know what happened but I didn't feel anything when I swing my hand but it's clear that someone is holding my other arm right now.

"Are you a ghost or you're just short?" I asked sassily.

"Are you curious?" He asked again.

I touch the part where he is holding me but I didn't feel anything.

"What the? What do you want?" I asked him.

"Are you willing to give me anything I want?" he asked again.

"Why would I do that?"

"Why are you asking then?"

I kissed my teeth before yanking my arms away from him walking towards ny comfy bed when I bump into something.

"Wha--"

I looked up and saw red glowing eyes looking at me intensely. I screamed loudly but there's nothing coming out, It's like I am mute. I hold my neck, panicking on why does my voice are gone. My eyes meets his eyes once more.

"Sleep tight, Baby girl" The last thing I heard before darkness consumed me.

..."Sleep tight, Baby girl"...

"AHHH!" I jerked up, soaking with my own sweat.

Is that a dream? I looked around the dark room and it still looks the same.

Nothing change..

Maybe it's just a nightmare.

I check my alarm clock and it's still early for school. It's only 5am in the morning. I have some time to sleep but I choose to get up, anyway.

I did my morning routine. Everyone in the house is still sleeping. I pick up my bag and tiptoe my way downstair. I past by the mirror but immediately get back to it.

I check myself in the mirror. Cut on the corner of my lips and also a purple bruise hugging the wound. Wounds on my cheeks and forehead. Bruises on my cheeks, forehead, jaw and chin. I look like shit, a miserable shit.

I was so mesmerize on how shitty I look in the mirror right now when I felt someone touch my shoulder and a slight touch on my neck, like someone kiss it softly. I look straight in the mirror and I saw a pair of red glowing eyes staring at me.

I jerk up because of shock but the glowing eyes immediately dissapeared. I check behind me but there's nothing behind me. I immediately rush through the door, wore my shoes and run the freak out of there.

...~♥~...

I was looking around the peaceful and quiet street where people are still sleeping. It is still dark but the lamp post are all over the street so I think I'll be safe.

I felt my stomach growl towards me when I saw a convenient store. I check the time on my phone and it's already 6 in the morning. I still have time since my class is at 8 so I rush in there and came in.

I saw guys on the counter, the first one with silky black hair is standing, waiting for costumers while the other one with green hair is just chilling while playing with his phone.

"Good Morning!!" The guy on the counter greeted cheerfully. Brightening everything around him.

"Morning" I greeted coldly

"How can I help you, Young Lady?" He asked, flirtily.

"Rice, chicken and a cup of coffee, Please" I said, monotonously.

"'Rice, Chicken and a cup of coffee' coming right up!" He said cheerfully before turning his back at me.

"Can I eat here?" I asked the other guy who's playing with his phone.

"Ofcourse, but eat at the table right there not here on the counter" He sarcastically said before smirking.

"I'm aware of that dumbass" I said before rolling my eyes.

"Sweet!" He exclaimed. "What's with the cuts and bruises? Are you a thug or somethi--"

"SHUT UP, BRYLE!!" the other one who have my orders on his hands shouted. "Anyway, Miss. Enjoy your meal~" He said before smiling at me sweetly. I pay him and grab my meal awkwardly.

I just nod my head before walking towards the empty tables. I looked back at him and he's still looking at me. I felt goosebumps all over my body when I saw him lick his lips. That's creepy as f*ck.

I ate my meal slowly. Savoring it. I looked at my phone and it's still 5am in the morning. I shrugged and continue my meal. I'm eating while playing my phone.

Time past by and all I do now is drink my coffee since I'm already done eating. I looked at my phone once again for the time when it flashes 5:00 am in the morning again.

I tilt my head in confusion. Wait? When I wake up ealier, It's 5am. When I buy and eat my breakfast, It's still 5am? and now that I'm done eating, It's still 5am??

...Is my phone broken or something? ...

I looked at the wall clock inside the convenient store and it says 5 in the morning.

...What's happening? Am I hallucinating? ...

I stand up and was about to go to the counter to ask for the time when someone entered the convenient store. He have white, silverish hair and gray eyes.

He looked around before his eyes lands on mine. He immediately walk towards me not breaking the eye contact. I felt small and weak under his stares.

He's so handsome, no, his face is fuvking ethereal! It's perfect, pale white skin, sharp jaws, mesmerizing eyes, pink plump lips. Why is he wearing a read suit? Is he already an adult? But he looks so young, around my age.

My heart jump out of my chest and I trembled in fear and nervousness when I saw his eyes glows red when he finally reach me, Looking at me intimidatingly.

He caress my cheeks softly with his big soft hands before grabbing my waist, forcefully pulling me towards his body.

I want to push him away from me but he's eyes seems hypnotizing me and I can do anything but stare at his handsome face. I felt my cheeks heat up when he leaned against my right ear before whispering.

..."You're always in danger, Babygirl. You should sleep for now" ...

...~♥~...

"Miss? Miss?"

I felt someone shook my shoulder. I immediately jerk up.

"Ah.. What.." I asked to myself.

"You fall asleep, Miss. And I think your a student so I woke you up. It's already 7:30 in the morning." A girl said wearing a uniform like the other guys earlier.

"Oh! I'm sorry! Did your co-workers already left?" I asked the girl.

"Huh? What do you mean, Miss? We only open our store in day, not night" The girl asked confused.

I looked at my surroundings and felt goosebumps all over my body. I'm at the tables outside the convinient store, when I ate my meal inside earlier. How the f*ck did I end up here? What's happening to me?

Is it also a dream?

If it's a dream. How the fuvk did I end up here??

And..

If they don't have night shifts. Then who are those guys earlier??

A THIEF?!??
