Savings

Limping her way through to her house, Kiara gets home around 9:30pm.

She really didn't want to enter the house as she didn't have the energy to deal with everyone after what had just happened to her.

She opened the door to see her siblings in the living room watching TV. They didn't even turn to notice or welcome her.

"Sorry I'm late" Kiara said in a weak voice and was completely ignored by them.

She climbed upstairs with the remaining strength left in her and limped over to her room.

Opening her room, she sees her room in a messy state confused on why her room is in that state knowing she cleaned her room up before leaving for school this morning.

Scanning the room, she saw that the place where she had all her savings was opened and her savings box wasn't in there anymore. She started searching frantically for it but didn't find it.

She quickly ran downstairs to where her brothers and sister were. She mastered the courage to ask them "Please have any of you seen my savings box" Kiara asked with a heavy heart gaining no response from them.

" Have you guys seen my savings" she said again in a little demanding voice.

Getting a scoff from her sister Selina said "I took all the money in it and bought myself some new stuffs. What about it?" She says not caring about it.

Tears form up in Kiara's eyes as her sister had just wasted the money she was saving for college on useless things.

"How could you... You didn't even ask me for it" Kiara said as her voice trembled.

"And why should I have asked?" Selina had the audacity to say

"BECAUSE THAT WAS MY COLLEGE FUNDS YOU JUST WASTED. I WORKED SO HARD JUST TO SAVE UP" Kiara screams as tears rolled down her eyes. Today has already been shitty for her and this just made it more unbearable.

"Well you shouldn't be hiding money from us and contribute what you can to help the family" Selina said.

Kiara scoffed at how hypocritical her sister is.

"Family? Now you consider me your family when you have been treating me like trash all these years? You guys didn't pay for my high school fees. I had to study really hard to get a full scholarship to attend school, I got into middle school because of free education. I eat your leftover food despite me being the one cooking it, I knew you guys won't fund my college fees and that's why I took up a part time job to save up for it AND YOU FUCKING SPENT IT ALL" Kiara said all in one breath.

Kyle stood up from the couch and walked over to Kiara slapping her hard across the face. "Don't yell at your elders you ungrateful bitch" Kyle said coldly.

Kiara held her cheeks as tears threatened to fall down. "And what should I be grateful for? Being beaten everyday?, being starved? Or being treated like trash? Pathetic of you to say don't you think?" She answered boldly with no emotions hinted in her voice.

She received another slap from him. "Getting bold aren't we now?" Kyle said with an eyebrow raised.

" Fuck you all" Kiara said before running back to her room slamming the door and locking before breaking down in her room.

She was tired of her life and wanted it to end. She took out the knife from her bedside table cutting both her wrist with it.

Blood rushing out from her wrist, Kiara looked at it while laughing and crying maniacally before blacking out on the floor of her room.
