Page 11 of Poison Vows

I got to talk to Grammy for the first time too.

So, I don’t tell them about the tests they do on me here.

They say something is wrong with me and they want to monitor me.

But they don’t need to.

I already know there’s something wrong with me.

Why else would my own parents leave me?

Grammy hates me.

Samuel is annoyed with me.

They both said I should stay here.

I guess they’ve always wanted me gone…

I fight like hell not to glare at the man standing in front of me.

But my fists ball up of their own volition… the need to pummel the crap out of someone taking over me.

Why the hell did they abandon her?

“I know what you’re thinking,” Samuel says in a low, distressed tone. “But what choice did I have? Don’t forget whose fault it was.”

That reminder is like a bucket of ice-cold water has just been dumped over my head.

However, I can’t dismiss the loneliness my Angel felt at that time, captured within the pages of this worn-out journal.

“You still should’ve stayed with her,” I grit out. “She was just a child!”

“Yes,” Samuel snaps back. “She was just a child that was forced to leave her home and everything she knows! Read on, jerk!”

So, I do.

September 22

I finally asked my brother why we left.

He said it’s because THAT family is evil.

He says I’m an idiot for even asking about that boy.

But the boy with the cold, green eyes… he can’t be evil.

To that boy, dying is nothing.

Life is meaningless.

But… why did he hold me tight when we jumped over the cliff?

Why did he accompany me and say he’ll be my person?

Isn’t it because he wants to live?

And if I’m gone, how can I show him it’s possible for him too?
