UNBOUND

CHAPTER FOUR

I was bored. It was summer.

I needed something to do, I couldn’t

stop thinking about what my dad

said ‘get married to Jacob’. And

unluckily for me , I see that bastardmy dad. All the time. Cause it’s summer.

I have no siblings and no mum. My

mum died when I was seven. She

was depressed because my dad

was cheating, so she made up her

mind to divorce him. But my dad

won’t let her be happy. He wanted

her all to himself.

Even though my dad did so many

things to stop her from signing the

divorce paper, my mum was

determined, so nothing worked.

My mum signed the paper. And my

dad was extremely angry. So he

took the only person my mum

loved- me.

He fought for custody and won.

All this happened when I was six.

When I was seven, I wanted to meet my mum. I wish I hadn’t

gone. I shouldn’t have gone.

By the time I got to her house. I

saw my mum lying on the floordead, with a bottle of poison on the

floor. My mum had committed

suicide. Because of my dad.

Sixteen years later, I figured out my

dad was a Mother Fucking

Egotistical Cheat.

I found out he had so many

girlfriend. And I had a so called

step brother- Lawrence.

I know what to do. I jumped out of

my bed, smiling.

It’s time for a bird hunt.

* * *

“ I can’t believe you dragged me

into this” Tyler said anxiously “

what if we get caught?”

I sighed,then I faced Tyler

“ why are you so worried. We are

just spying on Lawrence. That’s all”

This isn’t the first time Tyler is

with me during my bird hunting. But

this is just how he behaves- scared

and anxious.

“ Why do you always drag me

into this?”

“ I don’t drag you, I ask you. And

you always say yes” I replied to

Tyler , coldly.

I placed the binocular downward.

I didn’t want to look at the stars .I

just wanted to watch him.

I looked into the binocular ,I saw

him. I zoom in on the face of my

stupid step brother- Lawrence. He

was inside a cafe shop, sipping

whatever drink he was holding and

to my displeasure ,he was smiling. I

frowned. I wish I could stone him.

“ if you really want to know him,

just talk to him. Isn’t that what a

normal person do?”

I stared at Tyler , he was

annoying me but I was to busy to

start a comeback .I looked into the

binocular.

“ and I think this is called invasion of privacy” he grins, then stared at

me, as if he was expecting me to

stop.

Lawrence stood up when a girl

entered. He walked closer to the

girl. He muttered something to the

girl and the girl laughed.

What a pathetic fool.

Lawrence moved closer to the

girl. He put his hands around her

waist and stared at her passionately

for a while. He draws the girl closer

to him . and he kisses her. Right in

front of everyone.The girl chuckled

and smiled, she was enjoying this

intimate moment. She kisses him

back and puts her arms around

him.

This is the third girl Lawrence is

flirting with. Today.

“son of a b***h” I said angrily

I can’t believe this is the guy that

might take my spot. I looked away

from the binocular angrily. I wanted

to smother him, hit him, shoot him,

behead him and burn him. I stared

at Tyler and I noticed he was

staring at his phone , looking

worried.

“what’s wrong” I didn’t care, I just

wanted to know.

Tyler gave a long sigh. Whatever

was happening must be serious. He

wanted to say something but he

stopped. He stared at me for a

while. Then looked away as if he

was thinking of what to say

“ it’s Madison, she… she cares

about BTS more…more than me,

and it’s…it’s annoying”he said

apprehensively.

He was lying. I could tell.

It’s very simple to know if Tyler is

lying. He keeps avoiding eye

contact- he stammers and he takes

time to answer a simple question.

He was doing all that, so it’s

confirmed. He’s lying. But I’ll play

along

“ what happened?” I asked,

pretending to care.

He kept quiet for a while. Still

avoiding eye contact.

“we were suppose to go on a date. But…but BTS is going live

so…” he paused “ she ditched me. I

don’t know why she cares about

BTS than me”

Sometimes Tyler ask obvious

questions. Too obvious.

I didn’t want to be harsh but the

truth is bitter

“maybe because they are

handsome, rich, famous . And while

you…are the opposite of that”I said

sharply.

Tyler opened is mouth and

frowned.

His eyes were starting to water ,he

was staring at me but his mind

wasn’t here.

Something’s wrong.

And I was worried -genuinely.

I smiled and he smiled.

I like it when he smiles. Tyler is

like a baby brother to me.

I knew something was wrong, but

I can’t force him to tell me. So I’ll do

what a normal person would do in a

situation like this

“ can you lend me your phone?” I

asked , looking serious

“ I didn’t bring my phone and I

need to call my driver to pick me

up”

“ but you brought a car” Tyler said,

confused.

He looked at me . I stared at him.

It was as if the first person who

looked away loses. So he staredand I stared

“just lend me your phone” I said

feeling galled. We were still staring

at each other

Tyler was just staring. Wasting my

time. Not doing anything.

“your phone” I said darkly and

scary.

Tyler swallowed hard , then gave

me his phone. He can’t stand my

anger. What a weakling.

I took his phone and turned around.

I went through his phone ( this is

my definition of normal) and saw

the text message.I sighed- a

worried one. I put the phone on my ear and pretended like I was calling

someone. After a while I gave him

his phone back

“ no answer” I said calmly.

“oh. Okay” Tyler said and collected

his phone “I should be going” he

said forcing a smile. He looked like

if he stays here any longer,he will

break down.

But typical Tyler, he acts like

everything is okay.

“ sure, take care” I replied, way to

nicely and warmly.

I watched him leave. I wanted to

hug him and tell him everything is

gonna be okay. But I just watched

him leave. I sighed when he was

away from my sight. His mum has cancer.

His dad was getting a divorce.

I knew how painful that is. To

slowly lose someone you love. And

to lose your home.

CHAPTER FIVE.

Amazing is not what my summer

was. I had to see my dad everyday.

And during my free time I went bird

hunting with Tyler. Bird hunting

wasn’t all that fun. I had to endure

Tyler lecture about his relationship.

No wonder why Madison prefers

BTS to him.

Now summer is over, and I have to get back to school.

To my fans.

To Jacob.

To Lucas.
