Chapter - 1 My Life  Angelina Six months ago from now Gear up! With life. Take a deep breath, exhale it out slowly, smiling as if nothing is wrong in the world. That's most a girl with a younger wasted brother could do to lead a life or survive basically, hoping that one day I would say 'I lived it' and see my brother smiling at me taking his life to be a normal one. But no that's far away, and things that we went through can't be brought back to normal even if we desperately want it too because you can't bring back the dead. And the dead matter to us. They were my parents. I don't even want to remember their tragic death that day. I wonder how I even survived it. It's been three years but the sight of my spoiled brother reminds me of them each day. I am not a good sister. I can't take care of my own brother and it hurts a lot. I hope I move on and live my life. Maybe a new person in my doomed life might add colours but I have got so alien to feel for any. Overall I am the boring person ever. You don't want to meet me. And if I ever come near to you, I will talk to you negatively so either you will become like me or run away faster. But I wasn't this before my parents died. I was cool, popular at school and college and everyone's gem because I was happy and I had nothing to worry except for what clothes to wear on the next ball or parties, or that the new girl joined the cheerleaders squad. I am sounding like a whining teenage, I know. But believe me you definitely want to meet that girl. Sadly I am not that as I am a fully grown woman now. I got my degree six months later my parents died. They weren't there to see me graduate. It sucks to remember it. What sucks more is the fact that I killed my parents. No one says it and tries to console me but I know they are not here because of me. I drove the car that day only to crash it into a tree. I lived but they died in the hospital bed. Well now I am a twenty five years old, architect in a big firm 'Blue valley' and I have a presentation of my new design today. So gear up! Gear up today and with life too! "Liam! " I knock my brothers door to wake him up for school. He is seventeen years old boy studying in Hayden High. No answer. " Liam wake up! " I say as I open the door to find the empty bed. He is awake this early today. I go near to the washroom to hear a faint noise, squirming me and pronouncing the need to talk to my brother about it. So he is awake early to please himself. I don't know how much time he already invested to it. I knock the door feeling awkward. " You are going to be late for School Liam. Hurry! " I say aloud. " I am done. Almost done. " He yell back. Taking a deep breath, I head downstairs to the kitchen and make us egg and bread butter. He come downstairs looking horrible. Throwing his bag in the chair, he take a apple from the basket and eat it still standing. " Good morning Liam! " I say softly putting his breakfast before him. " What's good about morning Angie? " He say curtly like always . He thinks that I killed Mom and Dad and he isn't wrong but. " It's been two years Liam. You need to say 'Good morning' to me back. I need it, I want it. " I say to him almost crying. " Good Morning. Happy? " He say before taking his bag rushing out. " Breakfast Liam. " I call him in vain. I know he won't come back until the wall that thickened with time breaks. He loves you Angie. He is just angry with you. Brothers don't hate they just love you. I smile taking off my apron and rush upstairs to pick my things and go to work. Taking my keys of the SUV that my parents left for me, I was all ready to go to nail the presentation. And SUV? Yeah, my father was a mayor and mother was a wedding dress designer, so they left us some money and a big Hawthorne mansion and an SUV and convertible. People would say we are kind of rich but no, we just meet rich peoples to count among them. We don't have enough left now. Actually if I hadn't lost my head after their death for more than a year, I would have been able to keep our assets but I was so drowned in my misery that I even forgot of my brothers misery. Maybe that's why he built the wall because I wasn't there for him when he needed me the most. I am not a good sister. "Hey Angel! " Arthur greet as I sit on my chair. " Hey Arthur, are you ready? " I ask him. " I think so. " He say sitting on the desk as he take out the files and we talk about our presentation. If we get this design approved by them, i would be working on the biggest project ever. It is an ultra technological mall of the city and I am hoping to get my name into it. My family had a good name and I am up to making it much bigger as my job. It is a kind of distraction from loneliness and emptiness in my life. Atleast I am trying to give what my brother needed as he ask for it. Checking the last of the documents, I am all ready for the presentation. I enter the hall confidently and stand in the middle and start to speak. At the beginning, I stumble upon stupid words but get a flow with the progress of the explanation. My eyes look for each one's expression and I see them quite satisfied. But when anything can be best? Learning and growing is a continuous process. " It's Good. I hope the design passes the engineering tests. It it goes this way I can see New York's amazing building in the city. Congratulations Miss Hawthorne! You did well. " I smile at him happily and say," Thank you Archer, I will keep up the work. " Archer William is a middle age kind and talented man who had given me enough opportunities to prove myself. Being Dad's best friend he love us and always assist us a guardian. I am happy that I have him. I come out happily from the hall and I know the shine in my face have spread the good news as Bridget gave me a wink and thumbs up. Bridget is my work colleague with whom I share all of my problems and happiness. Mostly we are so busy in our world to hang out but she is the one with whom I spend a lot if time. Then come Ryan who likes me but I know Miranda and they had a rough breakup six months ago and she still didn't get over with. I ain't that woman to jump over a man and Miranda isn't bad woman but quite selfish and bitchy. And now Ryan just give a smile flashing hus white teeth as he passes the hall way to his office. He is a executive manager here. And Ryan is a extremely handsome man in the office and I have a huge crush on him. His calm and sober green eyes are beautiful to look at whole time and you wouldn't want to stare his body to get your knees weak. Miranda is not only the reason that I ain't giving him way. I fear that he might know what negative and sombre woman I am, and go away from my life. I can't afford any person dejecting me for who I became and what worse happen is that they come to know how amazing I was in college. They start to talk about that to make me explain what happened in my life and that I killed my own parents. I don't want to even talk about that but they make me say it because someone died saying that you need to talk about your problem to people you love as it consoles your burning heart. I don't agree with it or maybe I didn't get my love yet. Why am I thinking about this sensitive subject now? I shake away my thoughts and head back to my office. Sitting on my chair, I start to do my work removing every bad things from head. But can it be in your hand? No. My phone just start to ring and name flashing should bring bad things to make me realise what I put myself into. "Ethan just let me live peacefully, you bast**d. " I curse closing my eyes. I wish I never did that to myself that night. *** Hope you liked this chapter. This is short but the length will keep on increasing with chapters.
