A girl with 5 personalities

Episode 5: A new friend

MIA'S POV

"That's right Mia, your father left us because of you!" She said looking angrily at me along with my siblings "how is this my fault" I stuttered forcing myself not to cry "Dad never liked this disorder of yours, it was a huge pain in the a*s for us, especially for dad" my sister added "let me tell you exactly everything that happened" mother said angrily "ever since your father found out about that disorder of yours, he had a really hard time earning money for your medicines, he'd suffer from you changing your personalities from time to time, he got very tired because his co-workers were also judging him that his youngest daughter is crazy, after all of those things, he decided to create a new life, with a new family! all because of you!" she pointed at me angrily. Wow, I can't believe dad would do this to us, I couldn't talk, I couldn't defend myself, If I start to talk I'll end up crying. "Hello say something you little worthless brat," what she said hurt my feelings a lot. I started bursting into tears quietly, because of all the pain I felt I became dizzy, I knew it was a sign, Lucy is coming, I hope she makes the right decision after the fight. I collapsed on the ground

LUCY'S POV

I woke up again on the floor, I looked around seeing mom in front of me looking so angry, what happened this time "you scolded Mia again didn't you" I said standing up pointing my finger at her "come on Mia, stop pretending you're Lucy just because "Mia" can't defend herself" Matthew said sarcastically "You can't use Lucy against us anymore, we're not afraid of you" Mika pointed "Who said anything about being afraid of me" I said while tying my hair "so what exactly is going on here" I said with my hands on my waist, mom held her head in frustration "Mika, you tell her, I've had enough of her" She said walking away "This is why dad left us, he gave up on you and your stupid disorder, he cheated on mom, he created a new life and family because of how much he's suffering to have you" Mika yelled at me "So, dad left us because of my disorder? he's so not father material" I laughed loudly, everyone in the house was looking at me, they might think I'm crazy "Wow, dad left us because he couldn't handle my disorder? That's so pathetic" I said while laughing louder "If dad really did love his family he would never give up on us no matter what happens, isn't that the same in marriage? for better for worse, in sickness and in health? what a laugh" I continued while stopping my laughter "and besides, it wasn't my choice to be born, was it, you and dad just became horny one night then boom I'm here right now, then you're saying right now that you regret having me" I glared at mom sharply "you guys really are pathetic"

I smirked "You're crazy," Mom said nervously "Well, it's your fault why I became like this, this is what you get for bad parenting" I stared at them angrily smiling "If mom really did have bad parenting how come you're the only one in this family who had a disorder" Mika yelled "Oh you poor thing, I guess you guys don't realize yourselves how different she treats you and Matthew compared to me, and how different people are, too bad you people are just focused on yourselves," I said pointing at all of them calmly with anger. After I talked no one else started talking, they all just stared at me angrily "You all are wasting my time, I'm gonna go get some fresh air" I said going out to the door to go outside. damn, that was intense and it felt really good, to be honest. I kept walking while thinking where I should stay for a while, I decided to go to the cafe and have a little chat with Olivia. "hey Olivia" I chatted "Oh! hey Mia it's so nice to see you message me, what's up?" she replied "First of all, this isn't Mia, second can we have a call, I'm too lazy to chat everything" I chatted "Oh hello Lucy! sorry I can't right now I'm in school but there's no teacher yet that's why I can reply. Why, is there something wrong?" she replied "Yes, there's a lot of things that's wrong" I chatted while sighing "I'll chat you everything" I said. As minutes pass by I told Olivia everything that happened just now at home, with my whole family.

"So basically your family is blaming you on every negative thing that happens to your place?" she asked, "yes, haven't they tried looking back at things they've done," I said, "I honestly feel bad for you, all of you, I know you didn't really decide to have a disorder," she said, "Hey, I'm not Mia okay don't go saying that to me, sheesh" I texted her while ordering a coffee "right sorry" she texted. "well do you wanna meet up? I mean I'm going back there on Friday so" She said "whatever" I replied to her "Alright, Friday it is" She said with a smiling emoji "I got to go now Lucy, teacher's here, Byee" she texted then went offline. While I was at the cafeteria drinking my coffee I started to think about everything, how Mia's life is going, She's really helpless and defenseless, I only arrive whenever there's a time that she has to defend herself, I don't know what to do but feel bad for her. Time went by and I checked the time, It was 7:34, I had to go home, If only there were other places to stay at I'd stay there, but there isn't so, I have no choice but to go home. I carried my coffee with me and started walking home, I didn't wanna see my family's face one bit, but I guess I'll just avoid eye contact with them.

I finally arrived home and I only saw Mika and Matthew downstairs, I didn't care about them so I just ignored them and went up to my bedroom. I lied down on my bed and took a deep sigh, what a day, I just honestly hope everything ends soon. Since I had nothing else to do and I wanted to rest already, I decided to sleep early. I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth then I went to bed to sleep. I hope tomorrow will be a different day. It's Monday morning and I'm still me. I immediately went up, washed my face, and brushed my teeth then I took a shower and changed into my school clothes. I went downstairs to check if there's breakfast and I saw the table was completely empty, I'm not gonna be surprised by that. I wanted to ask where breakfast is but I changed my mind I might just create another drama around here I'm getting sick of it. I decided to leave for school early without eating breakfast, so I started walking to school and slowly felt hungry I'm not really used to walking to school on an empty stomach, I continued walking but I can't help feel hungrier because of the foods I see and smell on the streets while walking to school. I checked my wallet if I have some money but unluckily I don't, I continued walking to school while hungry, I was trying to think how I could eat without any food not like the students in my school were ever kind to me, they all think I'm a freak anyway.

When I arrived at school while holding my stomach, it's starting to ache this is not good. I sat down on my seat while holding my stomach in pain, I'm trying to endure it but even stomach pain can lead me to tears. I was just thinking of a way to eat food without money when suddenly a girl approached me "here, have this" she handed me a sandwich, It looked so good I didn't think twice about eating it, I immediately took a bite, it tastes so good "did you like it" she asked with a gentle tone "yeah whatever" I said with my mouth full "I noticed you were having a stomach ache because of hunger, so I decided to give you my other sandwich" she smiled "how did you know the difference of normal stomach pain to hunger stomach pain" I said after swallowing "well I experienced it myself, and you looked like me when I was also starving" she said "well, thanks for the food I guess" I said with an angry look "You're welcome" she giggled "My name's Kristine, but you can call me Kris" she reached her hand to me "I don't need your friendliness, just tell me what the hell you need" I said shoving her hand away while biting on to the sandwich "what are you talking about, I don't need anything from you" she said with a confused face "don't lie to me with your innocent looks because you can't fool me" I said yelling at her "I think you misunderstood me" she said with a  nervous tone "I won't believe you not one bit" I said finishing the last piece of sandwich "well then I will gain your trust then" she smiled sweetly "why are you trying so hard" I said angrily "I just wanted to be friends with you that's all, you seemed really cool" She said

"don't you know me, I am THE FREAK of this school, doesn't that bother you," I told her angrily "oh, well I haven't heard from people about you, why do they call you a freak," she said gently "because I have this disorder where I have 5 personalities, you don't wanna be with me I'm extremely annoying and not FUN to be with," I said in a fierce way "oh well I don't mind if the people call you a freak, I won't even care what they'll call me when they see us hang out together" she smiled so sweetly "stop manipulating me you," I said thinking of a word to say while staring at her angrily "even if I do believe you I'm not in the position to decide," I said sitting properly "what do you mean," she said confused "if you're really interested, we'll talk the rest at lunch," I said with my normal glare "alright, looking forward to it" She smiled while waving at me going back to her seat. I really do have the right to decide if I wanna be friends with her or not but I just don't trust her, she seems a little suspicious to me, oh well I guess I'll just let everything happen. While trying to think about trusting Kristine, our teacher has arrived and started class already.

After a few hours of class, it was finally lunchtime, I didn't have money in me so I decided not to eat lunch for now "Hey I'm back" Kris said approaching me with a smile "oh it's you again" I said to her "here, you want half of my burger? you might get hungry again later" she smiled "will stop it with the nice act" I said to her while I grabbed the burger half aggressively "I have to keep being nice in order for you to be my friend you know" she smiled so sweetly, again "Yo hello ladies" a guy with a  familiar voice said, I looked at the boy who said that and it was  "Jacob??" I yelled "Lucy! I didn't know we're in the same school together, I guess this is fate huh" he smirked "Ugh shut up, you're still so annoying," I said to him "and you're still so mean" he laughed while pinching my cheek "you two know each other?" She asked "yeah apparently this is what you call destiny huh," I said "we met at my sister's party" Jacob smiled "yeah weren't you there when I turned into a freak, now leave me alone," I said to him while looking away "Lucy, I don't care if you can turn into your other personalities, If loving your other personalities means loving you, then I'll do so, anything for you," He said holding my hand while getting his face closer to mine, I slightly blushed "stop your flirting it's not gonna work on me," I said pressing his nose to push his face away from me "and FYI, the real me is Mia, not Lucy," I told him "Well that was a good start right," Kris said nervously "so, you two know each other," I said "yup, we were friends since elementary days" she smiled

"if you two have known each other for that long, why weren't you at his sister's party," I asked in a suspicious tone "actually I did invite her that night, but she refused," Jacob said sadly "yeah I was too busy with cheerleading stuff" she giggled nervously "you're a cheerleader?" I said surprised, I mean it's kinda not surprising too, she's really pretty "yup, do you want to join?" She asked "oh no thank you, I don't think I'm fit to be a cheerleader" I crossed my arms "Well then Lucy, if I asked you out on a date someday, will you give me a chance," Jason said staring into my eyes "no" I replied without hesitation "come on Lucy give me a chance," Jason said fake crying while smiling "stop it, Jason, it's embarrassing," she said trying to hold her laugher. After all of that, the bell suddenly rang, guess lunchtime is over "well, I'm gonna go to my class now, see you, girls, later" Jason said waving goodbye while giving me a flying kiss, I rolled my eyes at him "don't you think he's cute" she suddenly whispered to me "what, him? hell no" I replied to her "come on Lucy, you two would make a great couple!" She said trying to tease me "who are you to tell me that" I yelled at her slightly blushing "come on Lucy, I can see you're blushing," She said smirking "shut up we're not even friends yet," I said to her "aww, that's too bad," Kris said laughing sweetly "do you wanna walk home with us later," she asked "yeah sure whatever, just a warning, one of my other personalities will be coming out soon, I'm just warning you and giving you a chance to leave me alone," I said to her "no matter what will happen, I will never stop trying to be your friend" she smiled sweetly at me, my trust to her is slowly rising, it's a good thing, right.
