The Scars She Hid From The World
The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.This is probably the most annoying of all! Mom leaves and Dad’s other family arrives. I can't accept it! annoying too much!
"Mom, can you just stay here? I won't allow Celeste to be left here with Dad's new family. Maybe what will they do to Celeste," Hiro said, My older brother.
"I can handle myself Hiro, but I won't let Mom leave," I said calmy. It's just a little and I'm about to cry.
"It's good that you're leaving Celestine. I can't stand to be with you here. Don't worry I'll take care of your child, I'll take good care of them. I'm Cassandra," Someone suddenly spoke to us.
The heck dad's hook.
"Wow! I thought the maid threw away the garbage, why is there anything left here? And look, the garbage is breathing and talking now," I said sarcastically.
She ignored what I said and faced a woman who was not very tall and was also holding a cup of coffee.
"Btw this is my precious daughter, Cassidy," She said happily.
"How dare you talk to my mom like that ?!" Cassidy yelled at me.
The thickness of her face to shout at me? she's still brave huh?
"Oh she's your mom? Well She's really your mother. You know why? You have the same habits," I said sarcastically.
I didn't wait for what they would say and I pulled mom and hiro but I still couldn't get away from my peripheral vision that she would pour me the coffee she was holding. I immediately took the umbrella held by hiro and opened it and blocked it in front of Cassidy. I saw the shock on her face. Didn’t she expect that I would act faster than her? I just laughed in my mind.
I glared at Cassidy before finally getting in the car.
After i delivered Mom and Hiro to the airport i went straight home. Hiro will be studying in Dubai for sure and Mom will be able to stay in London for a long time. For sure a big change will happen especially I have a share in dad’s attention.
When I entered the kitchen I caught Cassidy leaning against the sink and drinking fresh milk. Wow? she's really drinking my fresh milk huh?
"You know Celeste, if I were you I'd just leave here. You know it's hard to live with two families," she suddenly spoke as if annoyed.
"Well I'm not you. Why didn't you leave? Isn't that your suggestion?" I answer her back. I saw the annoyance on her face again.
I just felt that gun was pointed at my senses. I didn't react because I'm not afraid of this. I have also become accustomed to always being targeted by a gun because I also trained to hold a gun for almost three months before becoming trained to it.
