Mateless or Not I

❝A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way❞

Chapter 16

"Are you sure you are not hungry?" Mom gives a questioning look. "You never miss your favourite hazelnut coffee"

"Yeah... I am not in the mood for food" I gulp dryly. I am hungry, I want food, but I am not happy so no food – feel so dry, and just dull today. "Not going to work today"

"Well then rest well, you don't feel good. Your dad and I have to be out"

"Alright" I smile, patiently waiting for my mom to be done with the kitchen. As soon as she does, I quickly make my way to one of the kitchen cabinets. My hands search for the pills, and as I find them I quickly take a couple feeling strength flourish through my body.

"Sis?"

I jolt hearing my brother call me. "Y – Yeah?" I stutter. Please god, I hope he didn't see anything. I watch as he walks up towards me, taking my hand in his place.

"Whatever you do, please don't forget me as your brother"

My head clouds heavily, swelling my throat making it hard to gulp down. "I will never" I whisper, hugging him tightly. "Now go to school" I sniffle lightly, blinking my tears away.

His school is near our house. Which meant I didn't have to watch him, but my instincts tells me to do it today, especially since today's day will be unexpected. As Lucas fades from my view I head inside, locking the door behind me.

Make my way up to my room, and it doesn't take me a minute to wait, I start packing right way. I will be fine right? Who am I kidding, I'm gonna die.

Once my bag is packed well enough, I hide in the weapons needed. Such as knife, and a gun. I found it in my dad's locker chest area, he has one for protection, obviously never uses it. However, now this old bad boy is finally handy.

I drag my laptop from my bed onto to the floor, sitting cross legged I take out the data base which could hack the car code, and track it down. Hmm... looking at the view it's not too far from here, mainly a 30 minute drive. However, I have no car... so I'll need to be taking a bus. I close my laptop, keeping the tab on and slip into my bag. Didn't have much things, just survival kit. I also decide to dress casually, a sweatshirt and a pajama, I do not want to be murdered with heels and dresses.

Okay, all done. Good bye room. My eyes gaze it once more before I exit the area. Good bye house, I say it loudly as I head downstairs. It's freezing crazily, and I heard there is going to be a blizzard tonight. What a great way to celebrate the day, am I right.

I look at the time, 6:00am it plays out. It's crazy how my brother is going to school this early, just so he doesn't get in trouble of being late. Anyways, Rosella you are off topic you need to focus. I bid my good bye to inanimate object and close the door behind me.

This is it.

I'm not stupid.

I am stupid.

I turn around to look at my huge house on last time and make my way down the streets to the bus station.

As approaching the bus station and un-expecting voice calls out from behind. I turn my head to find Vincent looking at me with a small smile planted on his face.  

"Hi" I say.

"Hey, you're coming to the party tonight right. It's Christmas eve, your favourite time of the year" he says as he approaches me.

I actually really hope I do.

"Yeah, I will... I definitely will!"

"And why do I feel like you're lying"
