Chapter 2 Birthday

I tried to use my pillow to cover my eyes as the sunlight filtered in through the slit in my old curtain,the day is finally here I am eighteen today I didn't feel any change though, I suppose people don't feel anything when they become an official adult.

I got down from my bed to brush my teeth in the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled my face is probably one of the best thing God has done in my life given the fact that i am a little bit insecure about my body,I have a small bossom but i am quite big in the lower part of my body but I guess guys like big bossom, not like any guy is looking at me they probably don't even know considering the fact that I wear clothes that doesn't give room for imagination.

It's seven o'clock and I need to go prepare my sister zara for school she is three years old mom gave birth to her a year after dad's death.

I walked into mom's room greeting her has i crossed the room that used to be hers and dad's room to get Zara to prepare her for school.

Mom didn't say anything she didn't say happy birthday i was a little hurt but i guessed it probably just skipped her mind considering the fact that she just woke up, I got Zara and left the room the little sunshine in my arm not wanting to wakeup muzzled her face closer to my neck , making me smile i would always love my sister.

After getting Zara to school and finishing all of my shores I went to mum to tell her what have been bothering me all day we weren't so close before dads death but his death only made her colder, I told her today is my birthday and she didn't take it well at all she only looked at me and asked me how i could celebrate when my dad wasn't here I felt hurt and I ran away to cry further in my room .

I woke late in the evening after having a dream of me celebrating my birthday with father, I don't even remember falling asleep.

He told me he loves me and he will always be there for me anytime I need him the most and he said something peculiar,there is a secret behind the key like pendant on my neck, I rubbed the pendant as i remembered what dad said I am a little surprised i guess I have a little research to do in the library Tonight.
