home sweety home

There's not much things happened yesterday , I got an interview at MH pub and ended up being hired immediately, met some handsome guys and I was able to visit my friends on prison. That's all. But now, I got a feeling that this day will be different. Since my shift is in the evening, I decided to spend my day visiting our old house. This will be my first step of finding justice on my parents death. Though i am not sure if I will be able do it but I should overcome my fears. So I'll gather all my courage and pull this off the hook.

I told Cristina about my plan on visiting our old house.

'Are you sure about that?' She sincerely asked

'No, but i'll try'

'Why? there's nothing there. After you got prisoned your place were emptied. So why bother to visit there, you'll just end up remebering that incident. will you be okay with that?' She nags.

'That's why I called you because i want you to come along with me to lessen my fears. Please? I just wanted to visit that's all.' I said. I couldnt tell Cristina the truth behind my visitation.

'Ugh, you rascal. Okay, I'll pick you up at 10'

She said and hung up. If I am just strong enough I wouldnt bother asking her to come with me. since the day of the incident, everyday, everynight I kept on having nightmares. Even now , just thinking about it still shivers me. The trauma caused by that incident still lingered on my heart.

Just a few minutes, I heard a car honking outside the dorm. I looked at the window and I saw Cristina. I grab my pouch and went outside. I was about to open the passenger seat on the back of the car but cristina stopped me.

'Hey! Don't even think of sitting there, I'm not your chauffeur, sit here ' she said and pointed the front seat. I rolled my eyes and changed seat.

'Are you sure about this? She asked me while she's driving

'What choice do I have? '

'Choice? '

'Ahhh, i mean. I thought going there would help me overcome this trauma. You know i have to face my fears in order to overcome them?'

'Tss.' She uttered. Thank goodness i was able to make an excuse.

along the ride, I couldn't stop feeling nervous, i kept on biting my nails and i dont know why i keep on doing that. Finally, Cristina parked her car on our parking lot. I couldnt move when i saw our house . It's like one of the haunted houses in the world.

'It creeps me' I Heard Cristina mumbled.

Our house was a two story house, we have a swing in the backyard and a narra tree infront of the house, but now its just withered. Dried leaves and small trunks are scattered everywhere, You know just imagined how a hunted house look like.

'The door was locked.' I said.

'Oh, great let's head back' Cristina cowardly said. I looked around hoping that windows are open. And I'm right, the kitchen window weren't locked.

I opened the window with force, since it's been 5 years, the steel were already rusted.

As we entered the kitchen through the window, I realize how funny this moment was. we are like robbers who are planning to rob a haunted house, quite unique huh?

'Home sweety home' I said as we entered the house.

Cristina stand close beside me, scared.

I looked around, it was empty, nothings left. There's no evidence left, I suppose. The police got them all. I sighed.

We went to the dining area where my parents were killed. The stained of their blood was still on the floor, dried up.

Suddenly, I felt tears flowing through my cheecks.

'Are you okay? ' Cristina asked and patted my back

'Never been better' I said and wiped my tears away.

I studied every corner of our house hoping to find even just a small evidence. But I got nothing. I just wasted my time, I should've just listen to Cristina.

'Are you done reminiscing ?' Cristina asked

'Yeah maybe' I said and about to go out, but something caught my attention. I looked at cristina,

'You go ahead, I just need to pee' I said

'Be quick' she replied and went outside leaving me here in our dining area. I turned my attention towards the storage room which is half open.

"Strange, it wasn't open a while ago. " I shivered with fear.

I slowly walked to that direction and open the door quietly. It's dark.

Thankfully I was born in this generation were technology is advanced, like a cellphone that could also be a flashlight and a speaker that could also be a lamp.

I turned on the light on my phone and saw something I shouldn't see. I was stunned and was trembled with fear. I want to run and scream but I just couldn't.

There's bodies. Fresh dead bodies.

I sensed Cristina entered the house.

'Amelia? '

'Oh my god! ' she shockingly shouted and fall on the ground. I helped Cristina got up.

'W-- what is that? ' Cristina asked with a trembling tone

'I don't know, we should get out of here' I said and we hurriedly get out of the house and went inside the car.

Cristina started the car and drive as fast as she could. Her hands were trembling and she couldn't stop looking at the side mirror, making sure that no one is trailing us.

'What was that? What's going on Amelia? '

'I'm sorry if I dragged you into this, I'll explain later, just drive' i said. Good thing there wasn't any police car patrolling around.

I turned on the radio so that i could be distracted, but i cant stop thinking about the storage room. As far as i remember the storage room were closed and locked because i checked it myself. But how come it opened? Whats with the bodies?. It's fresh, like someone putted them there intently.

And when i think about it, They looked like they were killed by some wild animals, just like how my parents were killed by a wild human.

We safely arrived to the dorm. With my relief, I immediately grabbed a bottle of whiskey.

'Now, tell me' Cristina stood infront of me crossed arms and with a serious face.

'Okay, here's the thing... ' I said and sighed heavily. I think she deserves to know it. I was doomed.

I told her everything, my plan of finding justice, clearing my name and why I couldn't tell her about it.

'I am sorry for dragging you in this suicide plan of mine, I really don't want you to be part of this, I don't want to lose you' I said. She is looking at me with mixed emotion.

'To tell you honestly, the moment we stepped inside your house, I feel like someone's been watching us all along' Cristina said with a trembling tone. She sat beside me at the couch.

'Look, you shouldn't be involved in this. ' I said with a cracking voice.

'I won't, this is too much for me Amelia. I know you've suffered a lot for helping me and other people you loved and I really want to repay your kindness but not this. To Risk my life? Amelia, I don't want to go that far' she said and she was right. She was absolutely right, but why am I hurt? Why do I feel like it's unfair?

I smile at her.

'That's right.' That's the only words that came out to my mouth.

'I can help you with anything without risking my life' she said and stood up.

She wiped her tears and caress her hair.

'I have to go. You should rest. ' she said and walked out with hesitations. I bet she's scared of going out alone but I know Cristina, she's a tough one, maybe.
