Chapter 2 - CornWells Village
December 16, 2000
“Cheap! $10? God, no wonder why mom called you a failure, Ms.LiaThefailure.” My brother Carter laughed, slamming the door behind him. Sometimes, I get the feeling to punch him straight onto his little pathetic full pimple face. Even I sometimes question how he managed to score a decent looking girlfriend at school with all those pimples on him, but hey, even I find some pimple face dudes cute.
But those words, “failure,” it really brings me down, like I’m an adopted person in a family that could care 2 cookies less about you.
This year, I got my mother a coffee mug from Walmart, reading, “Google? Who needs Google when I got all my answers with you,” which cost… well, I think my brother addressed that already. Yea, it’s the best I could do along with a nice photo of my mom and me, drawn in chibi along with a thank you note inside.
What did Carter get for my mother? Oh, nothing special, just an Ipad pro with 512 GB along with an Apple Pen 2. Jesus, my brother works alright? Give me a damn break.
I wiped out the tears pouring onto my white PJ shirt, leaving a little wet spot on it. Sometimes, I wonder if my mother ever really loved me.
My dad passed away a week later after my Middle School Graduation; 2 years ago. If I could say anything to him right now, it would probably be longer than my mom’s grocery shopping list right now. My dad will do anything, ANYTHING, just to see me accomplish my life goal such as Elementary school graduation, or, my Middle School Graduation.
Hell, he would cancel every single plan he had just to see my head up on stage and see me getting my diploma, hugging me afterward and taken me to Applebee’s; letting me get every single dessert on the menu.
My mother? Ha, she wasn’t even there when I took my first step, but, my father was. So, I basically lived in a house of favorites. My dad loved me to death, rest in peace his soul. And my mother, who loves my brother more than… well, me.
The doorknob to my door slowly unlocked, my mom busting in, yelling “Get the hell to bed. It’s a school night.” Slamming the door behind her as she turns out my light.
“Poor ba**ard!” I wined under my breath.
Tears began to pour onto my soft pillow my cheap brother brought from the dollar store.
I couldn’t bear calling her my “mother” anymore. Every time I said that word either slowly from my mouth or in my mind, it doesn’t feel like she’s the right person to be called that. But heck, as long as I respect her rules, I have a place to eat, sleep, and well, cry to almost every single day.
I cried myself to sleep every time I remember an awesome memory from my dad. AND, to be clear, I would kill someone if they called that depression or some sh-. What? Am I not allowed to cry about something awesome that happened to me that 99 percent will never happen ever again? Hm? Yea, I don’t think so.
Staring at the blue and white ceiling above me, I could imagine the only friend that truly looked up to me a few years ago. Thinking about her, my eyes started to get heavy, and heavier. Before I knew myself, I was fast asleep, my pillow probably covered in wet tears.
. . .
“Hey… HEY! Wake up garbage!” I was awakened by two hard kicks into my stomach. With a blink of an eye, I stood up, half-eye opened while the other took its time to open. Once my vision was clear, I was struck by the fact that my brother was standing right in front of me.
Not only that, it was extremely cold, shivering as I was freezing to death.
“Take this,” Carter hands me a leather jacket, soft wool inside of it. Before I had a chance to put it on, she pushed me onto the ground, kicking me once more before coughing up blood.
“What the he-” but then, a set of 6 people came in front of me, lending me a hand up. I couldn't see their faces but was glad enough to be helped up. Once I got a better vision of who it was, I was completely speechless.
“M-maya?” I said, glancing at crowded around her. I felt like I was going nuts. “Elena? Mii? Maya? Alica? JInx? Issac? What are you guys doing here?”
Maya retrieved her hand off me, Mii coming in closer to me. She looked at me dead in the eye and says, “We’re all stuck in the same dream.” Then, Mii processes to press her pinky onto her lips; Elena coming up next.
Elena and I were never in great terms back in high school. She was responsible for spreading a rumor about me cheating on my boyfriend where I never had one, to begin with. But heck, this is high school all about.
“Listen,” She said, trying her best not to make eye contact with me. “We had our difference but what you’re about to hear… we need to work together.” She gives me one more serious look before leaving me hanging.
I was confused, first, I had no idea what was going on, two, Carter, my brother is acting unusual than he acts around me, and three, the entire crew of the popular girls from school were in front of me.
Lastly, Alicia steps forwards, taking a deep breath before confronting me.
“For some reason, we’re stuck in a dimension where we’re all having the same dream; being able to talk to each other in well… our dream? And up there,” Alicia points to the top of what seems to be a protective shield surrounding us with a giant hole in the top; its shaping being a crystal
“It seems to be a crystal that needs to be found. Now, another thing to keep in mind, you die here, you die in real life. If we don’t find that crystal by December 24, the walls will activate, squishing us flat.” Alicia then spits her gum out, leaving me with her hair flying into my face.
“Wait! May I ask, why is my brother acting so weird?” Issac was the first caught my attention. He quickly sprinted towards me, I scotched back a little in case if he was planning to do something, well, romantic with me which he didn’t.
He hovered his mouth around my left ear and whispered, “Cause he’s our leader of Cornwall Village.”
