Chapter 13: ✓My gift.
July 11, 2013.
Things couldn't get any worse I would be for almost two months in a dead end. My aunt had thrown me out of my room, I don't object because I honestly don't want any more problems than the ones I already have, besides that this house no longer feels mine, it's as if it belonged to some stranger and I am invading it. Now he has forced me to sleep in the forbidden room, I don't know why it bothered him that I slept in the living room. Entering that room was the worst part of it all and not only that, being locked in those four walls was suffocating.
My life, if I had taken a 360 ° turn, is seeing the closet that was a disaster, most of the clothes had been cut and stained with paint. The torn photos all over the floor and everywhere were the blissful newspaper ads stating the sinister crime called "Die in Cold Blood."
All the newspaper that my aunt could buy I pass so that I will never forget the monster that Rose was, I will never forget that my mother killed my father in cold blood.
Tatiana has taken care of me until I come of age and the loving aunt that I was has disappeared since the day she was called on the phone to identify the lifeless body of my dear father.
Every part of my body hurts, the bruises that it has caused me have been faithful to my skin. They continue without wanting to disappear from their places.
I go to the bathroom to bathe, I have not done it for two days even though I do not feel dirty I still need the water to touch my body so I can relax, I have been tense since that day. I quickly ditch my clothes and jump into the shower.
The fatigue that was slowly consuming me was taking its toll on me, I did not sleep because I hated this room, the daily blows and mistreatment apart from being painful exhausted me. Fill the tub with hot water and put in some body soap, when the tub was full I closed the shower and got into it.
"Usff, as I needed." I say as I settle into the bathtub.
Before long I had submerged myself in the water and fell asleep.
***
"Colette come have breakfast!"
I had fallen asleep in the shower, I hear Tamara's screams as I can, I get up scared and in a hurry, I go out drying my body quickly, I did not want Tamara to get angry and leave me without eating, I was very hungry.
My aunt had left me without lunch the day before, the only reason I had for such abuse is because I look like Rose, I just had a cookie for dinner and that was not enough for my stomach.
I leave the room towards the dining room, I visualize that Tamara is taking some photos with her cell phone which is somewhat out of fashion, I look at her for a thousandth of a second and I continue on my way to the dining room.
My food is served and ready to eat, I appreciate that I did not leave me without eating.
I sit in the chair eating in silence, I don't want to upset either of them, even if Tamara has already gotten over Carlos's death or is just tired of crying, she has made her mood change today.
But I can't say the same about my aunt, she just like I can't get over it.
"You will be your birthday very soon, what will you do?" Tamara commented.
Silence, I had no desire to speak, much less the day Rose gave me birth. I hated even being born, my father deserved much better, not some killer psycho.
"What do you think I'll do? "
"Mmm, I don't know, that's why I'm asking you." He comments as if nothing, as if his uncle had never died.
"I will not do anything."
I finish eating my shirt quickly, a while later I retire to the living room, I take an anatomy book and I start to read it, ignoring Tamara because she has made me angry.
The book I read is about anatomy, I will start classes at the university soon, it will be the last time I see my aunt and my cousin, it comforts me to know that I will no longer be locked up here with them two. I don't hate them, but I don't want to be with them either.
"Lette, my mother is working, it turns out that the company my uncle worked for has given him the opportunity to work with them. Isn't that great?" She asks animatedly, I don't want to make her angry because if I do, she will tell Tatiana and she will hit me.
"Sounds good to me." I say without spirit.
Then he goes to the bedrooms and leaves me alone once more. I start reading again, until Tamara interrupts me again.
"Now what happened? Why do you talk so much?" He looked at me with those murderous eyes.
I sighed tiredly, and looked at her carefully.
"I just want to know why you don't pick up your phone, you haven't even touched it for weeks." There she was, with those bright eyes.
- I give it to you, I don't need it. But in return you must promise me two things."
She comes to me quickly." One, you must behave like the cousin that you have always been with me and two you must give me your phone number with your line."
She just smiled happily, my gift had been a good idea, it was better to have her with me while I was here. I could make Tatiana stop hitting me so much, but I wasn't going to be thrilled.
"Done, I was tired of hurting you, I know it's difficult so you can count on me." She was so immature, but I don't criticize her anymore because I was surely worse.
She was right about one thing, both she and I were tired, not only was she, I was too and I hoped that she would become aware of her facts, but she was not going to expect so much from such an immature girl with her.
