Nightmares’ Fairytale

Thorns of Nightmares

Blag.Blag.Blag

I woke up with the sound of loud knocks at my door.

"Better wake up and get down here for breakfast with that guy of yours before I knock this door out Jhozy!!!" shouted by the guy who is knocking my door out like there is no tomorrow, which obviously is Steve.

Oh right. Everything that happened yesterday played to my memory. I remember how I cried my eyes out and kept Donny from leaving my side which bring him to be here beside me at my bed, sleeping.

"I'll be down" I replied to him. I am tired. I'll go with this marriage liked we planned but I am tired of being an angel to him. He doesn't like me, he made it very clear. Thus, if he can't accept me then I won't push myself to him. From the very start I hate to fall in love, afraid of it actually. However, I fall for him and he love another. Its time to stop being a martyr and forget my of feelings for him. It won't be easy but with the hate and pain in my heart it won't be hard either.

Taking a quick bath and dressing myself with a plain orange shirt with a small pocket in its upper-left partnered with a skinny fade blue jeans I came downstairs. I did not bather to wake Donny up. I know he is tired as hell. He is still sprawled on my bed with messy hair with his head deep on one of my pillow while he hugs it.  Well what can I say? He kept himself awake for too long last night making sure that I was not to kill myself and to make sure to kept me from having nightmares too long by waking me up. He is really my rock together with Ethan.

"Oh sweety, your finally here. How are you?" Auntie asked. She is smiling brightly but I know that being it is worry. I feel guilty, I made them worry. The look on their face says how worried they are and I don't know how to pay them. However, I remembered how much auntie wants me to call her Mom and his uncle wants to be called dad. Come on Jhozy, just one time. You made them worried its the least you could do. I silently encourage myself.

Taking a deep breath I came closer to Auntie and hugged her tight before I said "I am so sorry I made you worry" I pause and said the magic word while looking at them. I take a very deep breath taking all the will power I can get from me, and continued. " I am really sorry, I am fine now. Mom and Dad." I finished and sat down at my chair and looked at them.

Auntie is looking at me, verge in tears while Uncle is hugging her full of happiness in his eyes while Steve, well he look as if his eyeballs are about to fall out of his eyes and his jaw is hunging wide open.

"What...What did you just call us Sweety?" she asked.

I smiled brightly at me before saying "I am really glad I came to know both of you and so happy that you cared so much to me that I don't think I can thank you enough for being a parents to me." I paused looking at them and continued "but I think one time is enough for now cause its all I can give. However, I love you like a real parents, don't think otherwise."

"We understand sweety. We'll wait, open up to us whenever you are ready. And we love you too" Auntie said.

"Where is your friend sweety, is he not going to eat?" uncle asked.

"oh I didn't wake him up, he is too tired because of last night I want to give him some rest. And I can just talk to his prof according to his absence." I replied to them.

"tsk" I heard Steve hiss after he heard what I said. What is his problem?

I continue eating my food, completely ignoring Steve.

"Lets go, were gonna be late" he said.

Instead of replying I just got my bag and bid my goodbyes to Auntie and uncle by a kiss before getting out of the house towards his car.

"Are you okay now?" he asked taking a small glance at me while driving.

"Just drive I don't want to die because of your recklessness and don't act as if you care it disgust me AND I certainly don't need your pity." I said to him with a monotone voice.

He just looked at me and keep on opening and closing his mouth like he is thinking whether he should say something or not. If this was like before? I would have laugh at him because he looks like a fish.

The whole drive became quite after that conversation. I am now on my way towards the school cafeteria and to my surprise Steve drives me through the school, he must be feeling guilty about my attack although he doesn't know what happened OR he is pitying me which I hate the must.

"hey baby Zelly, where is the great Brandon huh?" I heard Ethan asked as he decided that putting his arm around my shoulder surprisingly and harshly is fun.

Shoving his arm hard I answered "home. I let him have some sleep", then I walk towards a vacant table with Ethan following me.

"Here" he said. Before I can look what he is talking about a cup of strawberry drink came into my face.

Strawberry is my favorite. My weakness. The mere sight of it always makes me smile, just like how my lips formed a wide smile cause if its sight.

I kissed tan-tan in his check before grabbing it from his hands and saying "Thank you tan-tan your such an Angel sometimes"

"only sometimes?" he asked with his arm still around me as he guides me to walk to one of the vacant tables.

"Yup!" I said mocking him. And we both laugh making are moods light as we ate our lunch.

.....

"Get in" I stopped walking when a familiar voice shouted. I glance to my left and realize that I was right. On my left is Steve in his car with passenger's window glass opened to make me here his shout.

"No need. Didn't you want me to wait in the terminal so you could protect your so clean reputation." I sarcastically said with him in a blank face.

My answer seems to annoyed him caused he rubbed his palm into his face and scratch his head which caused for his hair to get messed a bit.

"Just get in the car." he said. Not wanting to attract attention from judging eyes, I enter the passenger seat.

"look about wh-" he wasn't able to finished his sentence because I cut him off.

"Thanks for this ride. Let's forget what happened and I promise not to messed with your life however I'll continue the marriage. Be with your girl all you want, even publicly. You don't even need to act like we are couple. I never cared about the thoughts of others so it won't be much of a bother to be. However if you both do not want to be accused of adultery, just state to everyone who asked that she is my friend and so are yours." I paused taking a deep breath before continuing "What I am trying to say since you are to suffer because of this marriage, I am giving you the liberty to do whatever you want as if you are a single man and I will take care of everything to make sure your reputation is clean. I'll make this as a payment for my mistake of ruining your life. But remember one thing I'll even let you make me suffer or kill me for making this mistake but I'll never say sorry to something I never did"

I finished looking him straight in the eye cause he already stopped the car earlier in the side of the road. He looks dumbed-founded but I just look out the window and didn't glance at him again as he tries to regain himself and drive off.
