Nightmares’ Fairytale

Should have known

"You are such a liar!"

"You are such a liar!"

"You are such a liar!"

----------------FLASHBACK-------------

"Child you need to tell me the truth! Your father pushed and killed your mother didn't he?" the scary looking police shouted at me again for the hundredth time.

I am in the police station. After the horrible situation I witness. The police came at our door and saw my mother who is dead in a pool of her own blood while my father is standing at the top of staircase with a 15 year old me crawled in the corner of the room.

The police is frightening, he is 6' feet tall with bulky body, greasy hair and glaring eyes. He is standing in front of me with his both hands on the table situated between us while I am sitting. He would occasionally slam his hands on the table whenever he is asking a question and I am not answering with the answer he wants to hear from me.

Apparently, one of our neighbors heard that my parents are fighting and the crushing sound created by the vase which pushed them to call the police.

"I've already told you a couple of times. They...They were fighting at the top of staircase and then my mother got out of balance that caused her to be drop and rolled downstairs. While grabbing for something, she grab a vase which fall in her head it was an accident. My father didn't kill her." I finished with a sore voice. I just witness my parents got into a massive fight which lead to my mothers death and here I am being interrogated or more like forcing to say that my father killed mom.

"You are lying! He killed her right?! Don't hide your father's crime!" he shouted with his face more closer to me than before. His voice is filling the entire room. With his booming voice that is filled with authority and power my ears felt like being tear out of my face and my heart is accelerating so much that it will pop out of my chest. My palms are sweating and my tears are flowing non-stop through my cheeks.

"I didn't lie. I promise." I repeat this same sentence over and over again.

--------END OF FLASHBACK--------

"I didn't lie. I promise."

"I didn't lie. I promise."

"I didn't lie. I promise."

After two years of pain, I never thought that this day would come again. Time where I am not to be believed in. For two years, I didn't lie, I keep myself from lying even a simple thing. Afraid to be called that word again. If there is something I lied about it would be saying I am fine when I feel the opposite of it. But aren't everyone do that?

My heart is beating too fast, the air from my lungs seems to leave my body, I couldn't breath right, my palms are already sweaty and worst of all I am shaking. This symptoms only means one thing-Panic attack.

Not wanting everyone to see my weakness I run to my room as soon as the car came to stop in front of the Rodriquez housed. I instantly lock the door before sitting on my bed. In all hopes that sanity would not leave my brain or become unconscious alone, I push myself to think of what I shall do.

Ethan is on a date right now with someone who he will broke up with soon. Still I don't want to disturbed him. Donny! I..I have to call Donny.

*BRANDON'S POV

"No! That is a skirt not a dress Ba-ba!" Camille stated while laughing at me loudly. Cammy is my five years old sister who is extremely bubbly and energetic. You see while my guy best friend is on his date and my girl best friend is with her fiancee here I am at our house playing doll with my little sister. Great weekend right?!

"Yes...Yes I know Cammy, I just..." I was cut off by my phone ring tone. Looking at the screen I saw Zel's name. Well, it seems someone still remember me. A smile immediately plastered to my face.

Answering the call I put it in my ear and said "What my dear princess? Already missing this sweet, lovely and charming Prince of yours?" I joke with a prince-like voice. I would have joke some more but I heard a deep breath intake on the other line and that would only mean one thing if she called like that. Panic attack.

"Babe Zel talk to me what happened? I'll come for you wait for me." I said extremely serious now. Her line is a bit choppy or it is because of her lack of breath but I understand something along with a line which said about lying. Lying is always a deep subject on her. If her panic is about it, It will be extremely serious.

No longer able to understand her line. I grab my car keys and shouted goodbye to my parents and sister. While driving I immediately call Ethan.

"Dude! what?! this better be good!",He shouted. He doesn't really wants it when he is being disturbed on his dates.

"Zel,panic attack and lying come as fast as you can." With that I hang up and drive as fast as I could to reach the Rodriguez's residents.

Not bothering to knock I opened the door which fortunately unlock. I saw Ethan and his parents who are sitting on the living room who seems to be intensely talking with each other. However, I did not bother greeting them and head straight to Zel's room not paying any attention to the Rodriguez's who are calling and asking me.

After she was transferred in this house she gave me and Ethan a spare key to her room for this occurrences. I opened the door and there I saw Zel with the worst panic attack I have ever seen she had. Sprawled to the floor with her right hand on her chest and left hand grasped into her bed sheet, she is gasping for air.  Her hair is in a mess, she is drenched with water, her skin is pale and her tears flows into her red cheeks. 

I stood there for a while gasping on to her appearance, I feel sympathy and anger as I look at her state. Two years ago when she became my friend, Ethan and I made a promised to give her nothing but smile and seeing her now shutters my heart. While coming towards her only one thing is on my mind. Ethan you better come here immediately.
