FAMILY
Just when the car got to a stop and pulled over.
" We are home!" Genesis announced happily.
I made a weak smile, pushed the door open to see Liya running towards me happily, she looked more beautiful than I last saw her.
"Jane!!" She shouted and wrapped me In a tight hug.
"I missed you so much" I said but all I needed right now was to go to my room and cry out my eyes
"I missed you more" she said as she realised me.
Frankie and Gerald also came out , Frankie was looking more taller, his hair looking longer, he looked more handsome, I watched him come close and hugged me.
"Welcome back home" he said smiling at me.
"Thanks bro" I gave a faint smile.
Just then Gerald ran towards me pushing Frankie In a playful way so he could hug me.
He wrapped me so hard I almost choked, he knew what he was doing,his body was looking more built then the last time I saw him.
" Welcome back pretty one" he said and my heart dropped to my stomach, only one person called me that, that name reminded me of Armando and I couldn't help it, I didn't mean to tear up in the presence of my siblings but I couldn't hold my tears.
"What's wrong?, Did I do something wrong" I heard him ask as I ran upstairs to my room, Genesis right behind me, I shut the door on her face and I could hear her banging and asking me to open.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" I screamed out my heart as I landed on my bed. "pretty one" that name reminded me a lot about Armando.
The first day we met and everything we shared flashes through my eyes, I wanted this to be a dream, maybe a nightmare but it wasn't, and I had to face it.
[Background song : Kygo Miguel: Remind Me To Forget]
It never fades away.. it's staying
Your kiss like broken glass... On my skin.
And all the greatest loves end in violence
It's tearin up my voice... Left in silence
Baby... It hit so hard... holding on to my chest
Maybe you left your mark...
Reminding me to forget
It doesn't matter where you are
You can keep my regret..
'cause baby..I got these scars...
Reminding me to forget
Reminding me..I got these scars...
To forget your love
Keep reminding me oohh
To forget your love.
I woke the next morning and my eyes felt swollen,my headache, Genesis must be worried sick about me so must be my other siblings.
I didn't go down for breakfast, I didn't feel so hungry, I took my bath and lay on my bed, the thought of Marty and Armando wouldn't leave my head and that thought only made me want to cry more.
For some days I had breakfast alone, shutting everyone out, I was only hurting myself the more, I really needed someone to talk to and get over this.
"Jane! Am leaving please take care of yourself" that was Genesis, she got a job at a coffee shop or something like that and I was really happy for her.
I wanted to do something for all of us to show how much I was sorry for shutting everyone out, especially Gerald so I thought of making dinner, Frankie, Gerald and Liya had gone to the park so it was just me.
I went to the kitchen and I was ready to blow everyone's mind, lucky all the ingredients I needed were very much available.
I made spaghetti and meatballs and the aroma was all over the place, it was about time for Genesis to be back home.
"Ding dong" that was the sound of the door bell I ran to go open it.
"Ahhh !!!" My heart melted. It was Mom and Dad. I jumped to grab them in a tight hug. I was really happy to see them but they looked pleasantly surprised.
"What's that scent" dad said walking in as I helped mom with her luggage.
"I made dinner, luckily I made enough for everyone" I said, overwhelmed by my mom's wink .
"Hmm where's that coming from" I could hear Frankie say from outside, he was carrying Liya and Gerald was right behind him.
"Welcome home" I said to them as they all walked in, they all looked surprised but seemed happy at my new self.
"C'mon don't give me that face, I made dinner" I announced.
"Dinner!" That was Genesis she seemed surprised too as she walked in the door.
"Yes! Jeezz can't someone do something in this house anymore" I said feeling embarrassed and a little shy.
I set the table, and have mom and Genesis help me out with it.
We prayed and had our dinner. It turned out I was the best chef in the house, cause not even a single spoon of spaghetti was left, I was glad they liked it.
We had a little chit chat about school and everything, it was bedtime and Liya made me sing her lullaby, after she fell asleep, I went to the room Frankie and Gerald shared, I apologised to Gerald but before I even start, he hugged me and told me he understood and that we were cool.
I was happy everything was going out well and I walked into my room, took my bath and changed into my nighty wear.
Mom and dad came to say goodnight and kissed my forehead, dad complimented my food the ten times that evening, which made mom and him end up arguing about my food and hers which tasted better.
Just when I was about to sleep Genesis came to say goodnight, after all it was all about family.
