???? CAITLYN POV????
I made dinner for us three and we ate .
After dinner, I cleared the table and did the ditches.
I went up to my room and slumped on my bed.
Mom Rina will be back home tonight and I don’t think she’ll let me sleep.
I covered myself with my duvet and slept off.
.
2:30 am.
.
“Caitlyn ” I heard faintly as I shivered and snuggled closer into the duvet.
It’s raining heavily and I’m freezing.
“what the… ” I exclaimed and sat up as chilled water run down my body.
I looked up to see Vivian smirking devilishly and beside her was my step mom Rina.
My mouth hung open and I almost vomited out my heart at the sight of mom Rina.
“you little bitch ” mom Rina cussed squeezing my ear.
“you dare lay your filthy hands on my daughter ” she yelled and slapped me with her right hand while the other hand was still squeezing my ear.
She dragged me by my ear downstairs with tears streaming down my cheeks.
“you’re so gonna get it from me ” she yelled and opened the door making a gust of wind howl in.
I already started shivering cause it was raining heavily.
Mom Rina pushed me out into the rain and slammed the door to my face.
“mom open the door, please open the door “I cried as I started getting drenched by the rain.
“mom I’m sorry, just open the door, it’s so cold out here please let me in ” I cried, tapping the door.
“let me in “I cried and continued tapping the door.
“I’m freezing out here please let me in ” I cried out loud.
I slumped to the ground in tears as the rain fell heavily on me.
Mom why did you dump me?
Why did you bring me to this world if you know you were gonna leave me?
I cried bitterly as I shivered in the rain.
I staggered up looking to Roland’s house.
Should I go there for help?
No no no, Roland’s dad is very strict and doesn’t like Roland mingling with us.
I sat back on the cold floor, folded up my knees with my head in between and I cried more.
.
MORNING.
.
???? Camille’s P. O. V????
.
Mom, Vivian and I sat round the dinning table as we ate.
I kept glancing at the stairs expecting Caitlyn to come down stairs for breakfast.
“Vivian what about Caitlyn, isn’t she going to school ” I asked and mom gave me a deadly glare and I kept shut and faced my food.
After breakfast, we all headed out so mom can drive us to school.
“Caitlyn ” I gasped as I saw her laying still on the cold floor.
“don’t touch her ” mom warned as I squatted down beside her.
“but why mom, she needs help ”
“and you’re not the one to give her that” Vivian seethed.
“yeah so get up let’s go or you’ll be late for school” mom said sternly.
“what if she dies ” I asked.
“then that’s good news “mom blurted out.
“yeah it’s good news but what if dad asks about her ” Vivian asked.
“then we’ll cook up something like she went to a club and got drunk then slept out in the heavy rain and died “mom said and they giggled.
“Camille let’s go and don’t let me repeat myself ” she glared at me and headed for the car.
I sighed and trailed behind them.
We boarded the car and drove off.
.
???? Roland’s P. O. V????
.
“aah” I groaned as I tossed and turned on my bed.
I don’t wanna get up but I’m hell late for school.
I’m so not a morning person.
I got down from my bed, staggered to the bathroom and tidied up.
I dressed up and went downstairs.
“mom, dad, why didn’t you wake me up” I pouted at them.
Mom was setting the table while dad was seated on the couch.
“it’s that your way of greeting” dad asked and I rolled my eyes.
“and beside, we thought you took a day off from school ” he added.
“I’m out ” I said, heading to the door.
“what about breakfast “mom asked.
“I’ll have that at school ” I said and slammed the door behind me.
I boarded my car and drove outta the drive way.
I was almost outta the yard when my eyes caught Caitlyn laying still on the floor.
OMG! ????.
I rushed out to her and raised her up a little.
“Caitlyn ” I shook her but she didn’t bulge.
Oh God, her breathing is slowing down.
I picked her up and put her in the car then drove her to the hospital.
.
.
I paced back and forth in the hospital, waiting impatiently for someone called a doctor to come give me info.
I inhaled and exhaled as I saw doc Maxwell walking up to me.
He got to where I stood, looking at me with sad eyes.
“so” I asked cause it’s like I’m gonna explode any moment from now.
“I’m sorry Roland ” he blurted out.
???? Camille’s P. O. V????
.
“I really don’t feel too good ” I said and sighed.
“why is that ” Vivian asked, not even looking at me.
“don’t know, maybe because I’m worried about Caitlyn “I said and she looked at me then glared and turned away.
“do you like her now ” she asked.
“no, of course not, she’s the reason dad doesn’t give us his attention, she’s the one dad loves most so I don’t like her but I still don’t want her to die ” I explained.
“then let it be” she said and I sighed.
.
???? Roland’s P. O. V????
.
“I’m sorry Roland ” the doc said and I arched an eyebrow.
“I’m sorry we can’t talk out here but
Writer : lolz ???? how many people did I give heart attack?
That’s the life of a crazy author.
Story continues below ????
I heaved a sigh of relief and followed him to his office.
” I thought docs are meant to save lives not kill ” I said as I took a seat.
“yeah, of course ” he said.
“well your statement (I’m sorry Roland) earlier nearly gave me an heart attack ” I said truthfully.
“I’m sorry for that ” he said and I nodded.
“so Roland, I won’t say she’s safe now nor will I say she’s gonna die either cause her condition can be critical if taken carelessly ” he said and I arched an eyebrow.
“well she’s safe for now but I assure you that if something like this happens again or she’s exposed to too much cold, then she stands to have rhinovirus ” he said and I took in a long breath then nodded.
” so can I take her home ” I asked.
“no, she needs to be under observation for 8 hours and after that, you are free to take her home ” he said and I nodded.
“can I see her ”
“yeah but she’s still unconscious so do well not to wake her up coz she needs a lot of rest ” he said and I simply nodded.
I paid the bills and went to check on her.
She laid on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
I wonder what kind of mother will be dumb enough to abandon such a beauty.
I pity Caitlyn, I pity her a lot.
Good thing she’s got her father and she’s got me.
I checked my time and I’m ready late for school so I’ll just ditch school.
I mean Caitlyn is worth it.
I sat on the 3 person chair like a couch and slept off.
.
.
???? Camille’s P. O. V????
.
Roland’s not in school so I’ve called mom to come pick us.
We sighted her car and went to her.
“how was school girls ” mom asked as we got in the car.
“good”
“bad” Vivian and I said at once.
“why bad Vivian ” mom asked.
Actually because Roland wasn’t in school.
Let her blurt it out and see what’s gonna happen.
“Uhm nothing, I was just feeling down ” she said and I chuckled while she glared at me
We pulled into the drive way and got out.
“dad” Vivian and I exclaimed as we saw dad seated on the couch.
We ran to him and hugged him.
“how have you girls been ” he asked smiling.
“fine” I said.
“yeah we missed you ” Vivian pouted making me chuckle.
“OK I don’t see Caitlyn anywhere so where’s she ” dad asked and our smiles vanished.
“dad” we heard Caitlyn’s voice behind us.
“Caitlyn ” dad called and went to her.
He didn’t come to us when we called him but he got up to her.
So annoying.
.
???? Caitlyn’s P. O. V????
.
“dad ” I called happily as my eyes welled up in tears.
I’ve missed him a lot.
“Caitlyn ” he called and came to me then wrapped his hands around me.
“I missed you” he said and in a whisper.
“I missed you too ” I whispered back as tears rolled down my cheek.
“sweetie what’s wrong, why are you crying, did someone hurt you ” dad asked as he saw the tears.
“actually Mr Vandals, Caitlyn was just discharged from the hospital ” Roland who’s been quiet spoke up.
“hospital ” dad breathed out.
“why? What happened to you dear, tell me ” he said as I looked at Rina and Vivian.
Should I tell dad?
If I don’t tell dad, they’ll continue torturing me in my own house.
And if I tell dad, they might still torture me when dad’s not home.
What should I do?
