..... Isabella....
Today started of as any other day would. I met my friends at school,we walked home together and eventually parted ways.
I got back home all jolly and overly excited as usual, just for my mom to break the bad news that we would be moving soon thanks to my dumb ass brother Jason.
Oh great *I face palmed myself* this was just what I needed. I had to hand it to her, my mom was pretty clever to whip up my favorite dish, pasta alfresco and squeezed a little lime on top, just how I like it.
When I single handedly devoured my food like an animal,( and tbh I barely ate lunch at our school cafeteria since I had a rather sensitive stomach and the food they served there was nothing to write home about, I preferred to save up my cash for something better...)
She broke the news to me when I was at the peak of my happiness...
That's where the part of my mom being smart come in.
She knew me all too well so she knew well enough that I could never get angry or even irritated in the slightest when a delicious meal was right in front of me. So being the conning fox that she is, she took it to her advantage.
" You know your brother Jason isn't the most normal fellow around, he gets weird sometimes and this time he really weirded people out, telling them that a great evil will befall us all soon. Drawing weird images on people's property and making strange sounds... Turns out this has been going on for weeks now and I guess the neighbors have had enough. So the filed a serious complaint and now we have to move. I'm sorry bell " I recalled my mother's words.
Why do I have to get stuck with a madman for a brother. Other girls have cool older brothers but I'm stuck with that psycho, why universe??.
So here I am in my room, wallowing in self pity, trying to figure out how everything went downhill from where I was two hours ago... Aimlessly stuffing anything I considered valuable and worth taking along with me into my suitcase.
Life is so unfair*I sobbed*. well, I might as well come to terms with the fact that there's nothing I can do and just prepare myself for the worst.....
I saw the door knob move but just before I could do so much as to ask who was there, my mom barged in almost knocking me out with the friction between the door and my face
" Gee can't a girl pack in peace, you know there's something called knocking right?" I yelled at my mom.
I don't yell at my parents at all but this has gone way too far, this Jason thing is really messing with my mind.
"Mom I'm so sorry, I don't know what has gotten into me. This Jason thing has really taken a toll on me. What happened to my sweet and loving older brother" I broke out in tears, Like what exactly is going on.
" Bell it's okay, this may take some getting used to, I'm sorry you have to go through all this" mom comforted.
"We leave tomorrow, bright and early" She added before leaving the room.
I started packing more carefully now, folding all my clothes and placing them neatly into my suitcase.
I mean don't get me wrong, I always wanted to travel, but not because of my brother's psychotic behavior, and not when I'm almost in senior year.
The whole thing is just messed up. Couldn't Jason think about his own future, he's in college. This spring break is the worst thing that ever happened to him, he changed and became more weird and superstitious. Now it's just freaking me out...
....Jason....
Why does no one believe me. How am I supposed to save people who aren't even aware of the danger lingering around them. I'm risking a lot for this, my image, my clean record and even my family's reputation.
If they could be more cooperative this wouldn't be so hard. But now my little sister hates my guts, my parents think I'm a disappointment and everyone else just thinks I'm crazy.
My phone buzzes from on top of my bed and I get a text from Regina, my girlfriend.
°°°Jason it's over, I know everything. How you claimed a great danger will befall us and engaged in strange practices. What I don't get is why a handsome, young and brilliant young man like you would throw so much away, including me 💔, and become the town's nutcase. If you were going through something this bad you should've told me rather than me finding out from gossip, I thought I meant something to you ??. Anyways have a safe trip out of here, we are done. Goodbye Jason.°°°
Is Regina really breaking up with me??. I admit it I kinda ghosted her these past few weeks but I need a chance to explain myself, I can't just let her go like that, I love her...
We're moving tomorrow anyways. I guess there's no point telling her all this when I'll be gone. It'd just break her even more.
So I decided to switch off my phone and start packing up my stuff, making sure to pack up all my hunting gear and survival gadgets. When that great evil comes, I and my family wouldn't be caught off guard.
I'm done packing so I lay in bed trying to get some shut-eye but I couldn't sleep.
That's it.
I get up from my bed, climb down the window of my room down to the ground and started making my way to Regina's house with long strides.
Regina's place is just three blocks away so it didn't take me much time to get there. I quickly climbed up to her balcony and lighty knock on her room window.
....Regina.....
I'm so sick of everything. I just can't seem to understand Jason anymore. The first time I met him was in Calculus class in our freshman year at college, I asked if I could borrow his notes cause I stepped in late to class. He was the sweetest guy with his chocolate brown hair and green orbs staring into my baby blues.
I just wish things could go back to the way they were before. Now he just feels so distant, he couldn't even reply the text I sent him, I guess he's over me...
I hear strange sounds and heavy breathing at my balcony so I decided to check it out...
To my greatest surprise I found a certain green eyed boy in a black hoodie in front of my balcony slide-in door. He looks so pale and different since the last time I saw him.
I opened the door and let him in. With my arms folded.
"Babe, I'm so sorry..." He tried explaining but I cut him short.
"Save it!!" I said, falling to the ground and drenching myself in my own tears.
He crouched down to my level and leaned my head on his chest while patting my back. He placed soft kisses on my temple and kept whispering "I'm sorry" "it's all my fault".
" Why are you here Jason, I thought I made it clear to you that I don't want to date you anymore" I finally asked.
" You and I know that's not true . I'm here because I love you. I can't leave this city tomorrow without telling you that you mean the world to me Regina Nicole Thompson, I know I've been an asshole but I can't bear the thought of breaking your heart. My insides hurt and I'll hate myself if you keep wasting your tears on a fool like me princess. "
" I leave tomorrow, I'm sorry princess, you don't deserve a lost cause like me."
Before I knew what was happening he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer, mere inches separating our bodies. He placed a soft kiss on my lips and wiped my tears away. Then he was leaving.
" Are you just going to apologize and leave me here alone again, I can't go on without you Jason, you know that " I cried out to him.
" I want you to hate me, hate me so much that you erase me from your memory. Forget about me, I don't deserve a place in your life. You're the day and I'm night , I don't want you dealing with dark things like me.
Goodbye princess ". He said and quickly turned away and left.
He didn't want me to see him breaking but I did, he couldn't bear it as much as I couldn't either, he was crumbling but he wanted to look strong for me. I saw through the facade.
I just can't believe he's actually gone. The love of my life just walked out of it. He says it like it's so easy, how does he expect me to forget him just like that, he's all that I've grown to know. I mean it's been two years together.
I just don't get why he thinks so little of himself. To be honest Jason is amazing, the only one who really needs to know that is him.
He's poetic, he's freaking great at calculus, he plays the piano pretty nicely, and he is by far, the hottest guy I know. I don't think he's aware that he is the replica of a Greek god.
He's Kind and sweet and he would do pretty much anything to protect those he care about. That's what I love the most about him.
Sometimes I think he's too good for me, really what did I do to deserve him. Our destinies are written in the stars, I always thought to myself.
Now he's gone...my Jason.
.... Jason ....
What was I thinking. I should've told her I still needed her in my life. I should've told her that no other girl could ever replace her. I should've told her we could do long distance.
I'm such a fool.
I'll never love any girl again. My heart beats for Regina and no one else. She's the one I love and I'll protect her with my life. I know it's creepy that I placed spy cameras and listening devices in her room but I have to protect what's mine.
I never really knew how I ended up with Regina Thompson, I always thought she was way out of my league. She came from a really wealthy family and She was really beautiful, inside and out.
What drew me to her was her kindhearted nature . She always visited foster homes and attended all sorts of charity events and fundraisers. She always believed in people, Even in someone as cold and dark as me....
I remember when she asked for my Calculus note in freshman year, even though people warned her not to and told her I was a freak, she just shrugged their opinions off and called them narrow-minded.
I don't know who fell first but I definitely fell harder. She made me see the color in my black and white world and I can't imagine a life without her.
Well that's what you get for being a freaky nutcase and he talk of the town. I never thought everything through that my actions wouldn't affect just me but my family and those I love and care about as well.
My parents would have to get new jobs, I'd have to enroll in a new college, Bell would equally enroll in a new highschool and try to make new friends. She was really looking forward to her senior year in her old school but I completely blew it for her.....
And Regina would have to go on without me, heartbroken.
Well I better get some sleep, the sooner all this is over the better.
