CHAPTER 3. Changing Identity

1124 Words
I cried standing out in the rain with my box next to me. Today has been nothing but horrible. I still couldn't get over the fact that I was abused and now I was thrown out of the house like complete garbage. I took a look at the house one time with my eyes blurred with tears then began my journey and walked away hoping to see a cab. I had no idea where I was headed, I had no friends, no family, absolutely nobody. What did I ever do to deserve this kind of life? Growing up, I had always been treated like I was a burden. I was an orphan whose mother had abandoned her after the death of her father. I was brought up in an orphanage and remembering quite correctly at age 7, I was adopted by Dad. Aubrey and her brother, Richard never liked me from onset. Mum, however, treated me so well and that was the only time that I felt the love of a mother. She welcomed me with open arms and cared for me but for how long did that last you might ask. Well a month. After a month, I was like Cinderella. I would clean, wash and I literally became a maid who was going to school. I never had anyone to talk to so I would converse with the wall and at a point even found peace with myself. But I keep wondering why horrible things happen to good people? When I told them I wanted to go to med school in high-school, Mum dismissed it and said who would pay for all of that plus I was being selfish. Dad on the other hand, had given me genuine love which is why it hurt so much that he would treat me like this. He was never around much because of work but whenever he was, I felt secure and happy. "Where to, beautiful lady?" I was so deep in thought, I hadn't realized a group of guys in a black beautiful expensive car had pulled over next to the sidewalk looking at me. I sniffled clutching onto my box ignoring them praying they would just let me go because I didn't need any harassment from high school kids. "It's raining and all we're trying to do is help." One of them said, "I'm fine, thank you." I voiced out shakily. I was shivering. As soon as I said that, someone came out of the car. I wanted to run but it was a girl who used a small umbrella to cover herself. "We really do want to help you. So either you take the umbrella or you let us drive you to your destination." She spoke softly and I could see sincerity in her eyes. Where is my destination again? There weren't any cabs available now so after much debating, I followed them. "So where are you going?" The one driving asked. "Any motel nearby." I wiped my face playing with my hand nervously. There were two guys in front, a girl sitting in the back seat and another guy who hadn't said a word sitting next to me. "Ohh so my name is Vicky, this is Jared, the guy driving is Foggy and lastly D." Jared was the one who hadn't talked. "I am….." For some reason, I didn't want to say my name….I didn't want to be that Vivian anymore so I said, "Mia." *********** A month later. "What the f**k is going on?" I asked myself as I threw up for the fourth time tonight.  It had been a month later, and I had begged to be transferred to a hospital miles away. Due to my professionalism, they let me. So I was mostly working at the hospital and sleeping there until of course the chief nurse had sent me home. She said I looked drained and sick which I actually was. If only she knew I didn't even have a home anymore. "No, no, no…..please noooo." A thought crossed my mind as I stood beside the sink. "I couldn't be….I shouldn't be…." I repeated with my anxiety kicking in. I dressed up in a haste and carried my bags. I had been carrying my things everywhere, even my 'compensation money' because I hadn't thought of what to do with it. I walked into the supply room and grabbed two kits and exited the building. After an hour, I arrived at the motel I was staying at and brought out the test. "God please let it come back negative, please." I begged after peeing on two sticks. I looked at myself in the mirror realizing that I did in fact gain weight a bit and I had been tired a lot. I waited for about 10 minutes, I looked at the pregnancy test and my world shattered as the two came back positive. "Nooo…nooo." I broke down crying. Why didn't I think of taking a pill to flush his sperm out of me after the deed has been done? This wouldn't have happened. How and where do I start from? I didn't know the man who forced himself on me. I was completely alone in this world, I didn't even have a secure place to lay my head at the moment. Do I just abort? I thought with hot tears running down my cheeks. I ran a hand across my face and stood up sniffling. I ran into the same room and opened the bag which had my 'compensation money.' I had never even opened it once because I will be damned if I see my worth in a bag. "O My…" I gasped seeing the whole bag of money. It was going to be about a million dollars in this bag. What do I do now? ********* "Flight leaving for Landisia in 20 minutes." I ignored the noise around me. I was going to start a new life. No one matters to me anymore in this country. Thinking back, it was abuse after abuse, hurt after hurt I had faced. "Miss Mia Anderson?" The security personnel questioned looking at my passport. I nodded frantically. "Have a safe trip ma'am." He let me go in. I entered the plane getting ready for an unexpected life with a new name, new journey which would hopefully give me the right people, new ambition and goals and probably people who would actually love me. And when it's time I am going to find that fool that made me lose everything. He told me he has power, well, I am going to make sure I have more power than him and then, I will see between the both of us who will win.
