Chapter 13

It sent goosebumps on my arms. I looked at him my gaze hardening every second that passed. I was starting to hate him even more. He moved a little backward and when he was about to switch on the lights I stood up faster than a lightening and stormed out of his room. I was so tired of life. Especially him. Going in my room I dropped on the bed staring blankly at the white ceiling. Was all this really worth it. I wondered my mind going into a fuzz. Sleep slowly engulfed me. Darkness consuming me. I didn't want to sleep. I didn't want to see the nightmare again. The one nightmare that repeated itself almost every night giving me no peace. It always came and when it came there was no one stoping it. "Dad is coming ma!" I screamed and ran toward the gate to open the garage door. Dad drove inside the garage and walked out. "Dad today I wanna study with you" I said happy that my dad got home early that day. "Okay let me get the materials from Dom and I will be back in a second". He said walking somehow backwards. "Daaaad" I screamed. Blood blood Blood all over. Mom screaming. Lynn crying. Blood on me Dad in pieces. "Aviva! Aviva!" His lifeless head somehow said my name Dad can't talk he is dead. "Aviva avivaaaa!!" Someone kept shaking me violently. Shouting my name over and over again. That was when I jerked awake holding my chest tightly. My lungs. Breath in Breath out. I couldn't. I couldn't breath. My lungs. My whole body started shaking. I started seeing dots. "Aviva calm down breath in and out" said a familiar voice. I did as I was told and kept doing and doing until my breathing went steady. I was drenched in sweat. My breathing came to normal. I opened my eyes and honey eyes were looking back at me worriedly. He knows now. He saw the broken part of me. I started moving away from him fearing that he might tell me something offensive again. I wasn't ready to take it at this point. And I felt like this time I would really strike and hurt him badly. I rested my head on my knees trying to catch a breath. I was pulled in a chest. A hard chest. The smell that was familiar. It calmed down I didn't know why but it did. It made me feel safe while I shouldn't feel like that around him. Mendel Jonas made me feel safe. He calmed me down. When I had these nightmares only my mom could calm me. "Sleep Aviva" The voice said and without any argument I slept. Slowly going until I was fully gone and I slept for the first time in the last four weeks I slept in peace. In someone's arms. Someone that I should hate but couldn't. In the arms of Mendel Jonas Mendez. Aviva~~~ I didn't want to move These nightmares were swallowing me each passing day and the bad thing was that it was slow. Inch by inch. Wait why was my pillow this warm. I rose my head a little to take a proper look at it. Honey eyes were looking at me with amusement filled in them. I got trapped in them. How could someone have such beautiful eyes but an ugly comportment. "I dont mind waking up every morning like this" Jonas said chuckling. What was he talking about? First thing that registered in my head was emotions. He just chuckled Infront of me. Miracle that was a miracle to me. I looked at where he gestured with his chin. When did this happen. I smirked. My right hand was tangled in his hair my left hand was on the hem of his sweat pants almost touching near his man hood. Fuck. I immediately removed my hand away from him feeling a laugh errupt from the pit of my stomach. When everything from yesterday registered in my head I looked at him. "Time to start your job Aviva" he said looking at me with a smile my way. What just happened. * * * * * "Wake up girl today you will not work I am making you look pretty!" Ellanor said jumping on my bed with another pretty girl by her side who kept smiling. "Why are you so early and exited today?"I asked ready to kill her for waking me up at five in the morning. How could anyone wake up at five I thought it was a sin. "You don't remember?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows. What should I remember. "Nooooo" I said dragging the o slowly trying to remember what was so special about this day that made her go crazy. "It is your birthday bitch" Ellanor said rolling her eyes. Ooohhh how could I forget. My birthday. I looked at the girl who was standing next to Martha smilling and I was pretty sure she looked familiar with someone. "Ooohhh how rude of me. I am Saria Amy Mendez Mendel's sister"she said pulling me in a hug. Oohhh no wonder she had the same eyes as Jonas but her hair was different. she had blonde hair. She had a lighter completion compared to Jonas' but the similarities were there. You couldn't miss the way they all had intimidating stares but hers was little less and she smiled. She was a really walking beauty. What was there to say?. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth as I removed the hair tie that was holding my hair together. Being free on your twenty seconds birthday was a good feeling. I was going to fully bath today. I walked out of the the bathroom with the hair tie on my wrist wet and sat next to Martha who was typing on the phone along with Ariandra. "Happy birthday" Saria said giving me a box. I hesitated to take it but she pushed it forward almost shoving it on my stomach.
