Never Again

I never understood why people would sell things that didn't even work. "WHY WON'T IT WORK?!" Jordan, my little brother screamed. "Calm down. I'll get it to work." I muttered. I tried to fix the tail of my brothers robot dog that my sister Cassie supposedly broke. That little girl couldn't hurt a fly if she wanted to. I pushed the two metals together and heard a small click. I pressed the tip of its nose and it barked and wagged its tail. It was a majestic sight indeed. No more screaming, crying, biting, or anything else along those lines. "YAY!"He yanked the toy from my hands and ran off to anther room to play. Cassie came over and patted my cheek with a small smile."Thank you for fixing it sissy." I smiled and grabbed the little nerd and tickled her sides. She laughed and squirmed out of my grip. Her huge honey brown eyes were filled with tears. She giggled and ran at the top of Jordan and her bunk bed. She peeked over at me with her black curls hanging over the rail. "I see you!" She yelled. I chuckled and yawned. Last night was crazy. Eric and all my boys cleaned around the huge empty club while i paid Mason fifty bucks to clean the left side of the club. Apparently someone didn't know where the bathrooms were and couldn't hold it in. It was gross. But that's not the worst we've seen here let me tell you. I stretched my legs thankful that i had some energy to at least put on my soft owl pjs on. Even though, SHE was there waiting for me to get home and screamed at me. I don't remember much other than her saying 'useless' over and over. I highly doubt I'm useless if i am here bringing in money that they apparently need. "Kitty." Cassie whined."Play with me." I opened my eyes."How about we order some pizza?" Her eyes widen and she jumped off her bunk and on my chest. Her bony body was defiantly going to leave a bruise. And when I bruise it's not that great of a pretty sight. "Cassie, Hun, don't do that again." She pouted and nodded.''Otay," I lifted her up and slid her onto my shoulder and went into my room. I turned on my laptop and ordered some pizza. I was drooling over the pineapple and ham pizza. That was my s**t right there. I got the pasta pizza for me and a pepperoni for my brother and sister. "Okay. Go play Cassie. Just don't do anything bad okay? That still means no more stuffing all the sweets in your brothers pillow to get him into trouble." Cassie gasped and her small pouted lips molded into a "o" of mock terror. She took a step back and shook her head sadly at me."Now why would i do that?" I gave her the signature look and she blinked in response. She was defiantly on tough cookie. "Cassie. If you don't do it I'll even order a chocolate cookie pizzia." She nodded with a huge smile and gave me a small hug. "JORDAN LETS PLAY PRINCESS AND THE WARRIOR!!" She shouted running out of my room. "No!! I wanna play something else!" He yelled. I shook my head. My phone buzzed in my pocket. "Hello?" "Hey. I was wondering if you are interested in handing over the property that you own?" Asked a nasal like voice. I smirked and shook my head. This was the owner of a club that went out of business three months ago. His name was Zeke and he was the King of all nerds. I thought he was just some plain guy and not anyone special when he offered billions for my place. But no, he was an actual Owner and didn't like to dress the part. That was too bac, he could have had a lot of ladies if he would get rid of all those damn spongebob shirts! "No." "Money is not an issue."He pushed. "No thanks. Got plenty." "But-" "Zeke, I'm so glad you got ungrounded from life but l got to go." "NOOO-" I hanged up the phone and shoved my face in the pillows. I closed my eyes and layed there thinking of how nice Erics lips felt on mine. We aren't anything official, we just put on a show for our visitors. I took a moment to fangirl over him. He was really something else. His green eyes were the color of wet moss when it rained. They were always cool and never showed the hint of anger or impatience. To me at least, he was always kind and never took advantage of me in any way. I loved that about him and wouldn't object to having a bite out of that. A loud bang from the den made me bounce onto my toes in a flash and out of my drool worthy daydream. I ran out of my room almost tripping on the open cabinet in the hall way. I frowned at the scene in front of me and mentally groaned. The twins were both huddled around what use to be a glass sculpture that my foster father gave to his wife during their wedding. I'm not sure how much it was but i know that it is one expensive pickle. I opened my mouth to speak but the door flew open and there he stood. My foster father was in his dirty work clothes. His white skin and brown thinning hair covered in black grime from his job. HIs brown eyes landed on the broken gift and he froze "Who..Did.. This?"He said slowly. I'm not sure how but he managed to turn a nice shade of red under all that goo. The twins shrugged and Dean looked at me in the eye."Who did this?" Jordan looked up at me with a frown. His tiny face asked everything. What was i gonna do now? Am l gonna rat them out. Of course l wasn't but the poor kids didn't know that. "I did it" I told Dean slowly. His face deepend in dark red I swear, the dude was starting to turn purple. He marched over to me and finally hit me with so much force i was thrown onto the floor. I sat there shocked for what seemed like forever. Dean was shouting down at me while my brain was screaming at me to run away. To finally be free of all of the anxiety causing adults and the responsibilities of raising children that isn't mine. Not that l didn't like them but they aren't mine for the raising. But l was too shell shocked to do anything much less get up off the ground. It's the first time I've been hit and my brain was not even functioning. Dean was about to lift his foot up but i grabbed it and yanked the huge man down and got up on my feet."That's it! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU AND YOUR WIFE!" Dean laughed."And you think we wanted you here with us?" My chest tugged painfully but l brushed that off. "I'm moving out and that's final." I ran up to my room and grabbed the bags l prepared last night filled with everything l needed except for one thing. My necklace. I opened my jewelry case and stroked the precious almost glowing sapphire jewel. I put it around my neck and walked out of my room only to be met with my little sisters huge butterscotch eyes. I sighed and looked down at her."I'm sorry peanut but l have to go." Her eyes filled with tears but she nodded and hugged my waist. I put the bags down at my feet and hugged her tiny body back. "Be good okay?" I murmured to her. She nodded and squeezed me tighter."Okay." I smiled at her."The pizza man is still coming so it's okay." "Wait you're not going to take the pizza with you?" I laughed and shook my head. Cassie smiled and backed away shyly."This means l can have your room?" I shrugged with my things in tow. Dean crept over to where me and Cassie stood. He had no shame but just stood there with his beady eyes staring at everything i did. I rolled my eyes and walked out the door to my car. I climbed in and started the engine. The things l do for this family and i am treated as a selfish bratty child. I never asked for anything, i always did what i was told. I dialed Erics number feeling a bit shy.It didn't even finish its first ring that he picked up. "What's going on babe?" He yelled over music. I lifted a brow."Eric Simmons William you better not be mixing for someone else!" He laughed."Nah, i wouldn't do that to you. But whats going on? Do you need to live with me?" I looked in the mirror at the fat red mark of Deans hand print, it was defiantly going to bruise. "Um." "Alright Kitty. Just let me get home, I'm at a party right now but l swear I'm on my way- can l have my shirt back?" Girls giggled and whined as he moved around, my mood instantly going sour. I glared at the little bug crawling up my windshield hoping it would die. I get that he is hot but damn there is no need to be thirsty. "No it's okay." I said a bit too loudly. I felt my face grow hot and cleared my throat."I will get a room at a nearby hotel." "WHAT! NO Kathri-" "HE'S NOT INTERESTED!"A girl screamed in the phone and the line died. I glared at my home screen on my phone and put my car in drive. I dove off onto the street and looked around for a place to stay. The motel was crawling with prostitutes winking at my car passing by, The Sunnyside was too packed, Millions too expensive. I sighed and pulled into the Millions. I parked in front and grabbed my things and before i could even step out bellhops rushed out to greet me. They all waited till i gave them my bags and basically shooed me inside. Inside was extremely beautiful with all its white. White spotless floors, white walls with beautiful paintings, unsmudge windows. And do you know what i saw behind the counter? A freaking barbie. "Welcome." She smiled with a dramatic bow, her eyes occasionally flickering to my swelling bruise on my cheek. I bit back a laugh and fished around my purse for my wallet. I got out my I.D. and debit card."Alright, i need a master suite for a day. I donno how long i need it for but i know that i will need the room for at least a day." She nodded and began typing on her computer. She looked up and i gave her both cards to look over. She sighed and shook her bleached head."Sweetie you do realize that this hotel has a dress code. We also cost a lot of money as well." I did NOT want to get this from a woman l barely knew and yet she was dissing me. In my face! I leaned over the spotless counter with a small frown on my lips."I own a club that makes more than a million a night. Celebrities party there, DJ are discovered there. I think i can afford to stay here for the rest of my life if l wanted to, Barbie." Her eyes widen."I-I apologize." I shook my head and grabbed my cards from her hands and my things from the bellhops."Don't you worry at all." I began to walk out of the Hotel with one of the bellhops trying to talk me back into the building. Yeah right. I shoved my things in the back seat and got a twenty from my glove department. I shoved it into the Bellhops hands and put a finger on my lips. I climbed back into my car and rested my head against the wheel. I'm just going to have to sleep over at the club. I drove out of the parking lot with Barbie and, i would think, the manager trying to stop my car from leaving. I bit back a laugh and drove around for a little while watching them chase my tail in the review mirror. I smiled deviously and it wasn't until 10 minuets of driving around that they stopped chasing after my crappy car. I bought some food for myself and decided to just go to my new home. I parked and gathered all of my things but felt a hand on my shoulder. i glared and gripped my laptop."Who is it?" Damn it if its someone that i don't want to talk to i will hit them over the head with my laptop! Who wants a piece of me?! I turned around with my laptop over my head. I lowered it when i saw who it was. "Oh hello there."I gritted out through my teeth.
