  Where to, Miss." the cab man asked me when my sobs reduced. 

  Far away from this place. As far away as possible. I replied through my tears.

  What about the park close to town council hall. " he asks quietly. I know that right now he is talking softly because he recognized what is going on. He saw the bastard on his side view mirror and he knows from my tears that I was the girlfriend.

Yes please. I answered in a low tone. 

My life is turning into a typical cliché story. What is remaining is that I fall in love with either my best friend, Jake best friend or the school bad boy then we get married and live happily ever after. The end. 

  I can't deal with this. I just cannot. This day is too horrible for me. It has just been too horrible. Wait... did Micah know about this, is that why he wanted Tiffany off the team and Jake out of my life. No, it is not possible, if it was he would tell me or rather kick Jake ass for me. Then again, my parents broke up, anything is possible in this world now. It is no longer my world. It is no longer perfect and it is no longer under my control. Micah can betray me too, he may already have based on the fact that everyone in my life is betraying me... No, I can't think like that. I need to stop thinking now. I have to stop... 

  Before we go to the park can you stop me in a liquor store? I asked as he looked at me through the mirror. 

 Pardon. He askes

 If you get the liquor for me with the money I am about to give you. I add extra 250 dollars to your total pay. Just like that, the man shut up and continued driving.

Micah pov

  Those monsters are evil. Okay, I know I probably shouldn't refer to my siblings as monsters or evil but that is exactly what they are. Evil with a capital E. I hate what they do. They think it is okay for them to play pranks on me and not pranks like, remove my seat from under me, no that too small for them, they play pranks like changing shampoo with dye. They did this to Alyssa when she came to visit me last time. They are the reason why Alyssa is scared to come visit. She loves my parents and love my family in general but her love for my siblings is the one of distance. 

  I can't help but feel worried about Alyssa. I am always worried about her but this is different. It is not like she is searching for excitement, she is sad and a sad Alyssa is an unstable Alyssa.  Still, that's not the only reason why I is worried. Alyssa would have at least call me twice. She will be in contact with me based on the fact that she probably hate the thought of being home. * She must be with her boyfriend, there is no other explanation, and you are just worried about her and controlling too. * No, that is not it either. Whenever she is with Jake she usually let me know because the jerk hate it when I contact her so while his back is turned, she quickly shoot me a text which included the contents that she is fine, having fun and a life without me in it and the main gist of the message is usually about how she wants me not to worry about her. 

   I took out my phone and press the power button to check if I mistakenly have any unread message nope. No message came in while I was arguing in my mind. 

  I couldn't sit still, from tapping my legs on the floor to pacing around while staring at my phone. I was imagining all situations which Alyssa could be in and if it is too deep for her to come out of by herself.  I have to help her. I already made up my mind to leave my house without anyone there to watch my siblings when the door opened and my mother entered with my father in tow. 

  Micah. How are you? My mother asked as she stretch upwards while I bend absentmindedly for her to kiss my cheeks. 

  He is not fine. He is worried about his girlfriend. Celine said mockingly. 

  Oh hush. My mother hushes her and she kept quiet in turn. 

  What is wrong with Alyssa.  Dad asked. 

  She is not my girlfriend. I replied him

  I never said you guys are dating. My father returns. 

  You implied it. 

  No you are clearly worried and the only person you are usually worried about is Alyssa. Sometimes I don't think you care about your siblings. My father answered me with his eyebrows raised at me. 

  How can I love demon incarnates. If they were loveable. I would love them. I replied him. 

  That hurt bro, since we love you no matter how much you act like a love sick fool when it comes to Alyssa. Michael said then turned his face to another direction when I turned to face him. 

  I am going out. I will try to be back before 10, mom. I said to my mother as I bent and kiss her cheek, she is the only one that is usually there for me and sides me when the rest are acting like this. Believe me you don't want me to explain the meaning of 'this'.

  I walked outside only for me to see, Jake jeep speed to the side walk of my house and stop in my front. A few more inches and the car would be digging into my hipbone. 

  You want to hit me. I yell at Jake as soon as he came down from the car. 

   No. Have you seen Alyssa? I went to her house and she wasn't there, is she here? Jake said looking haggard and stressed out. 

  No. I drew out the word with my eyebrows narrowed. What did he do this time? 

  Have you heard from her since this afternoon? Jake asks as he runs his hand through his hair. 

  No, why... I started to ask then I notice his dressing. Jake looked like he was in a hurry to throw on his shirt. This is a guy that rolls out of bed and come downstairs for breakfast looking prefect. What did you do, this afternoon? 

  nothing. " he said quickly. Too quickly for my liking.  I am sure he is hiding something. 

  Everyone will not believe that, so I ask again. What did you do? I gritted out. I don't want to punch him yet but he is trying my patience and my hand is practically already curling and uncurling into fists at my sides.

  She caught me with Tiffany. It was a onetime thing I swear it was... He didn't get to finish, I punched him across the face. First one was for the hurt he gave Alyssa, second was for the fact that he did it with Tiffany of all girls and the last hit was for my own satisfaction. I left him on the floor moaning in pain as I got into my car and drove off.
