"Ok honey we'll be back soon, your dad and I will be back around 10pm" my Mom said as we're standing in the kitchen.

"Ok but mum I'm actually really scared" I whisper to her and she hugged me.

"I know honey but he seems to have changed and let's try and trust him" she said kissing my forehead"

"Hey are you ready" my dad said entering the kitchen.

"Yes" she replied and kissed him.

"Be safe honey" he kissed me cheek.

"I'll try...have a nice evening" I waved them off.

"Hmm what to do now" I thought. "Let me hit Ann up" I suggested and grabbed my phone

" Maybe I should go to a friend's house " I thought and ran up to my room.

I changed my clothes and was about to head downstairs.

"I should probably tell him I'm going out before he beats my ass when I get back for not telling him"I thought looking at the door of his room and I walked to it.

I knocked lightly on the door and waited for his response but I heard nothing. I knocked even louder this time.

"Come in" he said from the other side and I peeked my head through.

"Hey bro" I said seeing him on his bed playing video games.

"Sup sis" he replied

"Em I want to go to a friends house I'll be back before 6" I said internally hoping he won't insult me.

He stopped playing and eyed me then smiled.

"Sure sis just be safe" he said the started the game again.

He said what now?

"Em ok thxs see you later" I said leaving.

"K bye" he replied and shut the door and rested my back on it.

"Maybe he's actually coming around" I thought and left for Mace's house

*****************************

After a good day of hanging with my boy and his friends, going to the movies and eating. I actually came home in good time.

"5:45...nice" I thought before entering my house. Danny was not in sight so I just decided to make dinner.

I entered the kitchen and started preparing my special spaghetti. I cleaned the plates and set the table and started garnishing the food. Yes I have workers for that but I like helping myself.

Once the food was ready I stood by the stairs and yelled "hey Daniel the food is ready"

"Ok I'll be right down" he answered and I went to serve dinner.

After serving the spag I sat on the table and shortly after he joined me.

"Uggh how I've Missed your spaghetti sis" he moaned after taking a bite.

"Thanks bro its missed you too" I smiled.

"So how was prison" I asked.

"Rough" he replied

"Hope you've changed" I said hoping he won't take it the wrong way.

"I have sis" he said smiling like a toddler. "I'm sorry for beating  you and acting... Weird" he said feeling guilty

"Its ok...I know your bipolarity is serious...I know you don't mean it, I forgive you" I said holding his hand.

"Thanks sis"he said.

We finished up our meals and I headed for the living room and slumped on my favourite black and white couch and scrolling through the channels.

"hey what are we watching" Daniel said sitting next to me.

"Some movie called nerve" I answered.

"Cool sounds interesting...go make us some popcorn" he said.

"But we just ate" I whined.

"Ok make me some popcorn" he said.

"But you just ate" I whined then he gave me a hard glare.

"Go now" he commanded and I stood up.

I went to the kitchen and put two packs of popcorn in the microwave when my phone rang and I pulled it out of my pocket...it was Elliot and I went out of the kitchen to pick it up.

"Hey baby" I greeted.

"Hey babe" he replied. "I've missed you"

"Missed you too, how's Paris" I asked

"Its been good, currently doing my makeup for a shoot...how's your brother" he asked.

"He's cool.. Nothing has happened" I said looking at my bro on the couch.

"Good...stay safe, I love you" he said

"I love you too" I replied as I started to smell something.

Holy shit.

"I got to go babe I'll call you back" I said and hung up running to the kitchen.

"Oh shit...no no no no" I panicked opening the microwave and took it out forgetting it was hot and it fucking burnt my hand.

I screamed and ran to the tap. As the water cooled my hand I just stayed there crying a little when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw my brother, he looked annoyed and came closer to me and looked at me.

I know that look....God no

"I'm sorry" I said as a tear dropped and he slapped me hard across the face and before I could regain myself he held my neck tightly and turned up the tap to the hot side and dunked my face in.

"How stupid could you be...you can't even make fucking popcorn because of a boy..stupid slut" he yelled and removed my head and I kicked him hard where the sun doesn't shine.

He was in pain but when he regained himself he grew even angrier.

Fuck

He grabbed my neck strangling me and I stretched my hand for anything that could help my and I felt something sharp. I think its the knife I used to chop earlier, I picked it up and stabbed his shoulder and he quickly released me as he winces in pain.

I breathed heavily recovering before I passed out.

Where the fuck are the workers when I need them, stupid week off.

I turned around and saw that he was removing the knife from his shoulder and when he did he held his arm for a while then turned to look at me.

Oh shit

I ran up to my room as fast as I could and locked the door. I looked for where to hide and decided to hide in the toilet. Once I locked it, I hide in my shower and closed it taking out my phone and calling mum.

"Come on come on come on" I mentally prayed she'll pick up soon.

"Yes dear" she said through the phone. Thank God.

"Hello mum. Come quick Daniel is trying to kill me, please hurry call the police or something"

"Ok we'll be right there" she said hanging up.

I sat there silently, I was scared, crying, shaking and my neck and hand still hurts and bruised. I prayed there will get here fast just when Daniel started murdering the door.

"If you open the door now, I might take it easy on you and you'll still have a door" he yelled. But I just buried my head deeper into my knees.

"Ok you asked for it" he yelled tired of waiting for me and kicked the door down.

Oh God please let me survive this again ,at least this is better than the last time, I actually got hospitalized for a month.

It was now silent maybe he gave up on searching the room. As I let out a sigh of relief the bathroom door was knocked down.

Ok I'm fucked

He saw me in no time and walked towards me with an evil smile on his face with his shoulder still bleeding a little.

"Hello sister" he said kneeling in front of me. "Eyaa look at this...Mum's special and perfect child is hurt" he said giving me an eye of disgust.

"You know I actually like you...but you get too much attention, maybe if you don't exist anymore then I'll get the love" he said very close to my face and I was so angry I spat on his face.

"I fucking hate you" I said and he whipped his face.

"Love you too...and look at this I brought a friend" he said bringing out a knife.

Ok so this is how I'm going to die...Natalie Chioma Thompson murdered in her bathroom by her insane brother while her parents were having a night out.

Tired of this I said "even if you kill me bro, they will never love you" I said damn serious.

"Oh you've done it now" he said dragging me out of the shower by my hair. When he got into the bedroom he released me to set the knife and I quickly used that chance to get up ignoring the pain and stood in my stance.

Thank God for those defence classes my mum made me take

I punched him right in the face and didn't give him a second to think when I  punched him again making him fall to the ground and I kicked his ribs mercilessly. I hated him so much and I don't care if he's my brother anymore cause he as done way worse to me.

He caught my leg and yanked it making me fall and hit my head and he got on top me coughing blood on my face,holding me down. He reached for the knife and held it to my neck giving me a long slow cut.

"Stop please" my mum shouted from the door And we both looked at her.

"Why...mum, so you could tend to her and throw me again" he said in anger.

"Why would you say that son" she said getting closer.

"I used to be the apple of your eyes but ever since she was born you just treated me like I was adopted" he said pointing the knife at me but I just looked at my parents and noticed my dad rubbing my mum and shifting slowly, he looked at me and nodded.

"She was so perfect, and I was so not...she's not the bipolar one. And you" he said getting up and pointing the knife at my dad walking towards him.

"You used to be my hero but ever since your little princess was born you completely ignored me, you never talked or cared for me...just gave me money, well  money is not everything" he said in  tears now.

"Oh honey I'm sorry...why didn't you ever say anything" my mum said trying to hug him.

"I did but you guys never listen" he said crying harder hugging my mum as she rubs his back hugging him harder.

"I'm sorry baby...I'm really sorry I didn't realize" my mum said holding his face. "I love you, don't you ever doubt my love...you are my first and always remain my first" she said kissing his forehead.

"I'm sorry mum, I just wanted you guys to love me again" he said as my mum whipped his tears when my dad smashed a vase on his head and he fell to the floor.

"John" my mum yelled at my dad.

"What we'll take him to the hospital" my dad shrugged.

"Are you ok sweety" my dad knelt beside me.

"Ow yes just take us to the hospital" I said.

"I'm so sorry for leaving you alone Honey" she said as my dad carried me.

"Its ok mum" I told her and my dad and I left them alone.

* Ann's POV *

After unpacking and setting my stuff around I tried taking a small nap but let's just stay small turned into the rest of the day. I woke up and checked my phone. Uggh 1000+ messages I'll reply them later. 9:10pm holy fuck how long have I been sleeping.

"For about 8hours" SC replied.

"It was a rhetorical question" I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Whatever" SC said exiting.

I got up and decided to go find Ash. I got to his door which is like 4 doors away and knocked but no one answered so I just opened it a little sticking me head.

"Hello" I said softly and I saw him focusing his gaze on the screen of his laptop and I walked towards him.

"Hey what are you looking at" I asked getting his attention but he just looked at me and smirked then stuck his tongue in between his two fingers.

"What?....oh gross your sick" I said realizing and he started laughing like crazy.

"Lol chill I'm not watching porn...I'm doing my literature assignment" he said turning the screen and I sat on his bed to look at it.

"Oh good.. I fear o" I said putting my hand over my chest then looked at the screen again. "Eww literature" I said then he looked at me offended.

"Eww biology" he said. now it was my turn to be offended.

"Asher I'm hungry" I said realizing I've not had dinner.

"Her hungry nice to meet you I'm Ash" he joked.

"Ash I'm serious" I said.

"I thought you said your name was hungry" he said.

"Are you kidding me" I yelled.

"No I'm ash" he said and I face palmed myself while he laughed.

"Ok I knew you'll be hungry...that's why I got a special gift for my pet".

"yay what master" I cheered while he reached for under the covers behind him and revealed two boxes of Pizza.

"Yay pizza...cool pepperoni and chicken" I said.

* Asher's POV *

We started watching a movie while eating our pizzas and Ann is really struggling with the cheesiness of the pizza, every bite she took kept on over stretching and she looked really cute eating it.

"I can see the joy in you watching me suffer" she said and I realized I was staring .

"Sorry you just look so cute fighting with your pizza" I said honestly. "And I don't mean cute like pinching your cheek, i mean cute like pushing you against the wall and ripping your clothes off" I said and she paused looking me like "what you just say".

" what I'm speaking mind " I said and she shrugged it off.

We continued the movie and she eventually slept off and I carried her to her room.

I brushed the hair on her face and kissed her forehead laying her on her bed. "Goodnight my Queen" I said and left.
