This is a one shot story of mine that is made years ago for our english project the title is WHAT IS TRUE.

And this one is kinda creepy and the main context here is the trust and how other people tend to fool us.

Forgive me for the grammatical errors, I'll try my best to edit this one 'cause my english isn't that good back then.

My father died when I was ten years old. He died due to the heart attack.

My aunt and uncle are the one who's in my side while my mother isn't. She changed after my father died.

She's such a bad mother to me. She didn't treat me good and she always tend to hurt me mentally, physically and verbally.

She kept blaming me about what happened that night when I, myself have no idea what she was talking about.

She said I'm worthless that I'm a burden to our family, she said that through the letters. she kept sending me letter every month with full of hurtful words towards me.

To be honest her words hurts me so much, It's excruciating... She's such a wicked mother to me.

One time I saw her, My atrocious mother in the mall with a man... she's laughing! I got furious and I walked away.

Because If I don't, I know for sure that I might lose control and slapped her, and I don't wanna do that! I don't want to make a scene. And after all of the things she had done to me she's still my mother.

If y'all wondering why I am so mad to her, It's because after my father died she became alcoholic, she started yelling at me, at first... that's what the only thing she does but as the days goes by she started abusing me physically, she slapped me not just once but many times, she punched me, kicked me. All of it was the thing she always did to me before.

Until one day my auntie and uncle came to our house and saved me from my wicked mother, They want to adopted me but my mother doesn't let them. So they decided to let me live with her but I begged to them to take me away from her.

One night... When my mother was asleep I slowly walk towrads the door so she won't hear my footsteps after I open the door I run as fast as I can to my uncle's truck.

It's ridiculous that people tend to think that I got kidn*pped when in fact I'm the one who insisted but my uncle and auntie doesn't care. They are selfless they don't care about their reputation. they only care about me and I'm so happy about that.

Because of what my mother did to me I got traumatized and needed to take medicines. My auntie always care about me, my uncle too... They brought me clothes, things, medicines and everything that i need. I'm so lucky to have them.

"Andrea, don't forget to close the doors so there's no any intruder's that would get a chance to steal and kill you ok? Be safe here... Me and your uncle are going to the city." My auntie said. I just nodded and smiled to her. I always follow their rules since the day I moved in here with them.

We are living here in the mountain... Where there are no one who can see us since I don't want my mother to found me. The time I saw her in the mall my auntie allowed me to go shopping since she trusted me that I won't get lost... It's funny that she thinks I would get lost when In fact, I'm already seventeen years old now.

Now I'm alone and I don't know what to do... I'm so bored... so I decided to clean the house... I already done cleaning the kitchen and the living room, my room now I'm going to clean the room of my auntie's.

While I was cleaning... I've seen my medicine... To be honest I always take it even though I don't know what kind of medicine It is. but my uncle said Its for my mental health because I got traumatized for what my mother had done to me, which is true so I just decided to take it.

I found something really weird... My medicine doesn't have a name... Which creep me out because most of the medicines had a name... the bottle doesn't even have some directions on what should we do before taking it, or what kind of illness does this medicine cure.

I just shrugged it off and decided to just forget about it. While I was continuing what I'm doing I've seen an unknown door It's kinda open... I've never seen this door... My curiousity lead me to go at the door and opened it.

When I already inside the room is full of newspapers, there is a small cabinet. I was about to open it when one newspaper got my attention.

The newspaper had a report in it saying my auntie and uncle is the suspect of what happened to my father... There is also a report that they kidn*pped me. I don't believe this report so I decide to crumpled the newspaper and throw it in the trash can.

I opened the cabinet and there is a pistol inside of it.. I got terrified of what I've seen... I mean why would my uncle or auntie decided to buy a pistol?

I was about to leave but my instinct kept saying I should bring it so I decided to get the pistol and put it in the right side of my waist. I walked towards the trashcan and looked for the newspaper that I just crumpled a while ago.

While I was looking for the newspaper I've seen a paper, I think It's from my medicine so I decided to read it.

After I read it.. My knees started shaking... My hands are trembling... The cold sweats from my forehead won't stop from falling. My tears can't stop running down towards my cheeks. I got petrified from what I've found out. Yet, I'm perplexed too... I kept breathing heavily like I was running out of air. I've become frail.. And passed out.

I woke up and looked around.. I'm in my room.. How did I get here?? And then the memories of mine came back. From I was ten years old. All of it came back.

It was saturday night when the whole family decided to hang out... They all are laughing and very happy.

Andrea and her cousins are playing some toys in her room. While the adults are talking about their problems in life they all comforting each other.

"Andrea... I like this toy so much may I borrow It?" Her cousin Anne said. Andrea was hesitant at first but her cousin didn't stop begging so she let her borrow it. While her other cousin troy and jay are already asleep 'cause they are already tired from playing.

On the other room the adults are talking with their problems. After that the visitors decided to go home except for andrea's auntie Michel and her uncle Robert.

"Take care!" Andrea's mother said while waving her hand as a goodbye to the visitors. "So what do we have for dinner?" Alexa said Andrea's mother.

"I don't know but maybe we should buy some groceries first then we cook." Michel suggested they all agreed. So michel and andrea went out for a while to buy groceries. While robert and his younger brother Anthony andrea's father decided to drink some alcohol to bond.

Fast forward.

It's already midnight and the sounds of thunder kept andrea awake, she's afraid of the dark... And thunders too. So she kept crying alone in her room. While anthony and alexa was asleep... Robert went to andreas room.

"My andrea... why are you crying?" Robert asked while he kept moving forward to andrea.

"Uncle I'm scared.. please call mom..." andrea begged between her sobs. "Shh It's ok I'm here now." Robert said and after that he hugged andrea... At first he was comforting andrea by tapping her back and hugging her... But then he started touching andrea's private parts.

Andrea got startled and asked her uncle. "What are you doing uncle? That's bad..." An innocent little andrea said.

"Shh my andrea, let's play... If you shout or scream I won't gonna buy you an ice cream. Game?" Robert said... "I don't want to uncle let me go!" Andrea started screaming but robert covered her mouth. Robert was about to r***d her when anthony came and punch his older brother robert.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!" He shouted which made alexa and michel awake. "I'm just playing with her... You know How much do you want? I'll give you." Robert offered to anthony since he knew they got a lot of expenses that needed to fill.

"YOU'RE CRAZY LEAVE! GET OUT OF MY FREAKING HOUSE YOU DORK!" Anthony shouted while pointing at the door. Robert just laughed and decided to walk away but when he's near at anthony he stabbed him in his heart many times... He forgot that his niece was watching them but then his wife michel ran to andrea and inject something. Alexa saw it so she inject something to alexa too.

My father didn't died because of heart attack.. I'd seen what really happened. I've witnessed everything... How my uncle killed my own father with his own hands. He stabbed my father's heart many times... And I was there watching it... My auntie saw me watching it so she ran towards me and she inject something to my neck after that I passed out.. I remembered everything! those medicines are not real medicines... Those are some pills that made my memories became dull. It has the same effect of what my auntie inject me before! They are psychopaths!!! I need to get out from here! I need to escape! But how??!!

While I was thinking someone cleared his throat. I looked up and seen my uncle smiling devishly towards me. When he saw my scared face he laughs devishly. It's creeping me out!

He sat in my bed now he's facing me. He stop from laughing.. and started checking me out.

"Do you remember everything now? My dear andrea?" He said, teasing me. "Do you remember how I was about to touch you? but your father saved you... that's why I killed him... Do you remember It now?" He said and started leaning towards me... I can't talk, I Kept breathing heavily while my tears kept coming down.

He touched my hair and smelled it... "Your still beautiful as ever my andrea..." The way he said the 'my andrea' send some shivers down directly into my spine... I'm so scared right now... I'm shaking... I remember It! everything! He's a pedophile that was about to r***d my but my father came and saved me.

He started kissing my neck.... and he eventually stop when my auntie came in. She looked at me with a blank expression. I didn't know them now.

"I'm gonna buy some foods take care of my andrea, my love." My uncle said. It's disgusting how I used to wish someone like my uncle who's very sweet and called my auntie my love everytime I used to find It adorable now It's disgusting!

My auntie just nod and smiled at him. after my uncle left she stared at me for a minute.

"Auntie.... help me please." I said between my sobs. She looked at me with a very worried eyes and she made her ams widen I was about to hugged her when she started laughing. I step back as she continued laughing like a witch!

"You dork! you really thought I would help you? You're such an i***t. To believe me HAHAHAHA!" She started laughing again... "Do you wanna know who made those letters? Do you really think your mother made those? You're an i***t! If your mother made it she should had already caught us and take you away from us!" That make sense! I'm such an i***t for not thinking about it.

"You're wondering why your mother came home everynight drunk and hit you... shh shh" she said trying to make me stop from crying.

"I inject some drugs to your mother that made her hallucinate that you are me. Do you understand How smart I am? She saw me inject something to you that night. So I inject something to her too. She hallucinate that I was you... She thought the one that's she's hurting is me not you..." She said.

"Your mother loves you yet, You hate her so much.... HA HA HA HA!" She laughs again.

She held her knife and sway it to my arm the blood started dripping... It hurts so much! She grabbed my hair and pulled it really hard.I was about to get the pistol from my waist but the pistol wasn't there.

"Looking for this?" She said and point the pistol to me. She pulled the trigger and I heard a g*n shot. I close my eyes waiting for me to die. but I felt nothing so I open my eyes.

I've seen a police pointing the g*n towards my auntie... My auntie is now laying down in the floor. There are two polices and I've seen my mother crying while looking at me. My uncle is in the police truck. There's an ambulance too.

After few years...

My auntie and uncle was already in mental hospital. My mother is now living with me. She has a new husband whom I've seen with her in the mall. I recover from everything... I got traumatized because of what happened so my mother paid for some therapists to help me recover.

My mother also recovered from what happened, she got free from her hallucinations with the help of his new husband. after she recovered she looked for me everyday. until she finally found me. the day that my auntie was about to kill me. My auntie didn't die the police hit her legs so she can't walk anymore. plus she's already too old to recover from it.

We moved in florida and lived there.. I still can't face my auntie and uncle I don't know when would I got the chance to face them without fear.

I already graduated in high school and I'm planning to continue studying in college and I want to become a psychologists. To help those people like me suffering from mental illness and got traumatized from the events that happened in their lives.

Our mind is what controlling us from our emotions to our actions and the way we think too. If We are not open minded enough someone may manipulate us and controll us. we should be aware of that.

I got manipulated and brainwashed by the both of them but luckily I got the chance to be free from it. My mind Has opened and became aware from what is a lie, and WHAT IS TRUE.

-----

We tend to believe what we thought is real, we tend to close our mind and hold unto it.

Keep your mind open, and always think outside the box.

Move like a water, be open for everything.

Life is challenging that would make you changed for every pain you've been through that's why it's better if you're good at adapting the changes.
