DID YOU JUST FORGOT ME?

Mia's pov

I was sitting near Adam's parents who were covered in a coffin. I was thinking how pitiful Adam is.

Poor he, first he loses Isa then his parents. I was n my thinking when I heard a laughing sound. It was too familiar. As I looked back, it was Adam.

I was shocked to see him laughing. I got up and went near Adam, everyone was looking at him in disbelief.

"Adam what are you doing? you okay?" I whispered.

He looked at me and said,"'Just look at them Mia, how pitiful they are, wow." He said while smiling.

I grabbed his hand and left that place with him. I went to his house with him.

He said, "It's late I think you should leave."

"Adam I can't live you alone. If you did something to yourselves?" I replied.

"Mia I'm not like you" he arrogantly said.

"Okay then take care," I said and ready to go.

I reached home, and as I entered my mom was standing there while folding her hands on her chest.

"Where were you?" She arrogantly said.

"M...Mom I...I was at the funeral o...of-"

I was about to say something when she cut me off.

"Of whom?" she shouted.

"Of Adam's parents" I replied.

"Oh you must be thinking when will your mother die and you can be free," She said with a smirk on her face.

"N...No mom it's n..not like that..that".

"just shut up already" she angrily said. I was about to leave when my mother hold my shoulder and forcibly turned me towards her.

"Is Adam only tour friend or something?" she asked in a serious tone.

"w..well mo..mom actually it's-"

"It's what huh? I don't want you to date or marry anyone unless your sister can't find one for her, so that she can't be alone when you left."

Tears started flowing from my eyes. I went upstairs and locked the door while crying badly.

I went towards my room and turned the shower on and stood beneath it without taking off my clothes. As the water was falling, my tears were falling. My tears were uncontrollably falling from my eyes.

Is she even my real mother? how can she be such a devil? I wanted to go to my dad's but he was not there. He had gone abroad and settled there.

As I was in my thoughts, I realize there was blood on my shoulder and on my hands.

I felt that instead of blood there was bl..blood. I immediately came wrapped the towel around my body and get out of the washroom.

I looked in the mirror there on the mirror was written

"SEEMS LIKE YOU FORGOT ME, SWEETHEART"

As I read those words I felt chill down my spine.

I called Joe but he didn't pick up so I again called him back this time he picked up, "hello" he spoke up.

"Joe where are you"

Joe: "At home". Mia, can I call you back after a while? he immediately said.

Me: "Joe wait" but he hung up.

Ahh, what the hell? I called Lia and she picked up.

Mia: what is it, girl?

Me: Mia can you please come to my home? I'm hella scared.

Mia: Isa is everything okay? why are you too scared?

Me: just come to my house. Please.

Mia: Okay wait for me I'll be there.

She hung up. I sat on the bed while continuously looking at the mirror. After a while, my door knocked and I saw Lia standing there.

I immediately stood up and hugged her. She hugged me back then she looked at the mirror and went closer to the mirror.

"Mia isn't it written with your lipstick?" I was shocked to see that.

"Why didn't I notice it before," I said to myself.

"maybe you were too scared to notice," Lia replied.

"look Lia can I sleep with you tonight, please? I can't be here alone anymore please take me with you I'm too scared to sleep alone"

She nodded and I went with her to her house. We both entered the house and then to her room. She asked me to sleep on the bed while she herself laid down on the sofa.

I don't know why but unintentionally that night I was memorizing Isa too much, I don't know why. I was lying on the bed while Lia was taking a bath then she came out and brushed her hair while sitting in front of the mirror.

Then she turned the lights off, but I asked her to turn them on as I was frightened enough. She turned them on and laid down on the sofa beside the bed.

"Do you still remember Isa?" I asked as I just can't stop myself from thinking about her.

"What's with that question"? she asked confusingly.

"I just can't stop myself thinking about her," I irritatedly said.

"But you were the one who never liked her, right" She taunt me.

"It's not like what you are thinking Lia. She was my friend too but when I realized that Adam liked her, she made me jealous of her. Every time I saw her with Adam my blood started boiling" I said while controlling my anger.

"Mia stop saying things like that for someone who is not alive". Mia said in a serious tone.

I didn't reply to her and turned around and slept. I was sleeping when I realized someone is breathing heavily near me.

I opened my eyes the lights were off and there was darkness in the room. I looked around and thought that the light was on when I slept how come it's off now? Maybe the electricity went out, but to my wonder, the AC was still on maybe someone purposely turned the lights off.

I sat on the bed and turned the lamp on, placed it on the side table. A little light appeared in the room making some of the things in the room visible.

I turned to lie down again but as I turned down I saw someone sitting in front of the mirror while combing her hair.

Maybe she was the same girl I'd seen before in my room. She was continuously combing her hair. I looked at Lia who was sleeping already.

I kept my hand on my mouth while horrifying badly. I slowly get up from my bed not letting her know. I went towards Lia and started moving her

"Ah what is it?" she loudly said in her sleep while closing her eyes.

I immediately looked at the girl who was now stopped combing and was about to get up from her seat when I started shouting out of my lungs while closing my eyes.

"Mia, what happened?" I felt Lia was sitting beside me on the floor and asked me.

"Lo...look" I pointed towards the mirror where the girl was sitting.

"There's no one, Mia," she said confusingly.

As I looked in that direction she was right, there was no one. I started crying even more badly.

"It's okay Mia," she said while counseling me. Then she sat with me on the bed.

In the next morning, I got up and saw Lia wasn't there. I got up and took a shower. When I came back, I called my dad. He picked up;

"Hello my princess"

Me: "hello dad, how's everything going"

Dad: "everything's going well, you tell me Is everything okay at home? how's your mom?"

Me: "Dad, I had a little fight with mom. Can I come to you in the US?"

Dad: "sweetheart, it's not possible. You alone will not be safe here as I rarely came back home."

Me: "but da-

I was about to say something when I heard a female sound from my dad's side. she said "Honey I am" then maybe my dad pointed to her to keep her shut but she didn't say anything.

Dad: "You were saying something, princess?"

Me: "Dad I gotta go, will call you back."

I hung up without listening to his answer. I sighed and went downstairs. Lia was making breakfast in the kitchen while his brother was sitting dining, maybe waiting for breakfast. I sat near him and asked

"How's our school going?"
