Kierra’s Pov
The walk home was really really long our houses were not that far off from each other but I guess I wasn’t used to walking home because usually Xander would drop me off before he went on back home and later on we would meet up and play games or just chat and do what ever makes the day fun but now I only want to limit my contact with him I can’t stay away because our families are extremely close but what I can do is to avoid him at all cost because he succeeded in breaking me and shattering me into little tiny pieces and this time as I pick myself back up I’ll make sure my walls are made off titanium and my heart cold as ice and hard as rock.

Saturday would simply be first chores and everything that had to do with chores then I’ll be free as a bird
But this Saturday was very different since I have that compulsory picnic I have to get to not to mention I have to endure been near him for hours or when ever we decided to go home that is his presence would very much affect me in ways I do not want but right now the wound is still fresh and right now I have every intention to forget about him

After minutes of walking my house was finally insight I just hope mum and dad were still sleeping or else I would have alot of explaining to do I twisted the knob quietly still unsure if the house was empty or not because I was sure they would all be sleeping by now

Glad that I successfully entered the house without waking anyone up or causing a stir I quietly climbed up the stairs twisted the door knob of my room subsequently Tiptoeing quietly inside I closed the door before heaving a loud sigh of relieved glad to no one found out I practically escaped from that house and then having to explain myself as always

“You’ve become sneaky lil sis… Max said behind me folding his arms while I shrieked in fear

“Aren’t you supposed to be here with Xander so why are you behaving like a spy and more importantly why didn’t he drop you off

“Explain explain explain every single time I have to explain I’m so sick and tired of this… I thought annoyed

“What the hell are you doing in my room… I shouted at him in annoyance

“Chill Lil sis

“Don’t tell me to chill stop treating me like a kid max because I’m not am freaking 18 so stop it just stop it

“Are you on your period or something you sound agitated

“Leave me alone max

“And get your lazy butt off my bed… I said laying on my bed tired

“You sound different like really really what’s wrong… He said staring and

“Nothing just little changes in my whole being nothing to worry about… I said smirking

“Well what cause theses changes…

“Oh nothing big bro nothing to worry about at all

“At least tell me what happened maybe I can help

“RULE NO TWO… NO EXPLANATIONS…I made a mental note in my head

“I’m freaking tired of explaining myself no more I keep everything to myself it’s not like they get me anyways…I thought frustrated

“Nahh don’t worry about it I’ll be fine…

“Xander… He said taking my hand

“It’s nothing okay just let it be I’ll go get dressed we have this picnic to attend… I said grabbing my things headed to the bathroom as I heard the door close behind me

“Am really sorry big bro but I can’t afford to get hurt anymore I just won’t be able to take it this time… I thought as I freshened up quietly

 

After my bath I headed down stairs to grab breakfast then maybe watch a movie or two them finally my parents and max would be ready for the picnic at grand park
Heading downstairs with my headset on as I hummed along to the beat of the song I grabbed some milk while watching a breakfast show as I let my head clear enjoying the day as it present itself

“Good morning dear

“Yeah morning mum. I said taking one glance at her as she walked down the stairs

“You ready for the picnic…

“Yeah mum I just need to change my clothes I’ll be down in a minute a two

“Alright but how was the party yesterday… She said as I froze

“Umm I should go change

“What’s wrong anything happen that I should know about …She said sitting close to me

“I really really don’t want to talk about it mum I’ll be fine just drop it.. I said standing up heading to my room to change

 

I was able to successfully pull off a pair of clothing though not my best choice but good enough for the outing though I wasn’t that pumped about it because well I didn’t even want to go to this picnic and all but I guess I just have to not to raise suspicion and all
Climbing down the stairs meeting everyone all dressed up with the picnic basket and all I grabbed my headset since I’ll be needing it if I wanted to get through the day without screaming or hitting someone putting some music on not in any mood to chat with anyone heading to the car as they stared at me in shock probably surprised at my new behavior

“Get used to it family the old kierra is gone… I thought as I entered the car while Waiting for the rest of them

 

All through the car ride they all kept staring at me like I didn’t notice they kept looking at me like I was ex convict or a drug addict a junkie or a misfit
Maybe the old kierra would have tried to explain herself or at least act like she cared but this one doesn’t give two shits about anyone or what they think….

The car cane to a halt at the park and am sure we would have a spot specially reserved for the picnic as always

“Kierra dear could you help out with the basket… Mum said pointing to the basket

“Yeah whatever… I said grabbing it still on my phone heading to our spot

 

The Thompson arrived a few minutes later and they were acting like they haven’t seen each other for ages max went off to check the park out since he hasn’t been here for almost a year now which means Xander had more than enough time to stare at me while I worked on my phone the headset still on my ears

“Hey kierra could you get us some punch…Dad said smiling

“Yeah of course… I said forcing a smile standing up

“Heyy… Xander said behind me while I grabbed the tray

“What do you want… I said my voice cold as ice

“I want to know why you left without a word I was so…

“I was tired I needed to go home..

“Why…He asked acting concerned

“None of your business Xander leave me the hell alone… I said walking away from him giving them the punch as he stated there’s glued to the floor while I went back to my phone

“Kierra dear I know you’re bored with all this parent talk you and Xander could go play over there.. Mr Thompson said

“Alright…I said simply standing up as he followed behind me

Turns out max already made a bunch if friends at the park and the girls kept flocking all over him but I guess Xander took all their attention the minute he walked in and like the play boy he was he didn’t deny them his attention

“Too bad I don’t care what he did not anymore… I thought resting my body on a car chatting my time away

“What’s up pretty… A guy said approaching me

“Hey… I said taking a quick glance at him before going back to my phone

“So what’s a pretty girl like you doing all alone here

“Umm I’m not alone I have my phone…. I said as he chuckled

“Mind if I join you two am Randy… He said stretching out his hand

“Kierra… I said taking it as he placed a little kiss on it

“Well a beautiful name for a beautiful lady… He said as I dropped my phone

“So how do you see the park so far

“Hmm it’s nice… I said smiling

“Dude move now… Xander said coming up with two drinks

“OK kierra we could go some we here else then it’s seems we’re not welcomed here

“She’s welcome you’re not move… He repeated getting angry

“Do you know him kierra

“I’ve never seen this Jack a$$ in my life… I said acting shocked

“Seriously kierra

“Let’s just go kierra he seems not okay… Randy said as I took his hand

“Dude she’s not going anywhere with you move now… Xander said tightening his fists as the drink poured out

“Okay I think you need to chill..

“No you need to move… He said pushing him away

“Don’t tell me what to do you ask hole… he said throwing a punch as Xander caught his arm twisting it backwards

“Xander… I screamed pushing him away as Randy groaned in pain running off

“OK now you’re talking to strangers Kierra

“Yes gave a problem with it

“Yes I have a problem with it you can’t just talk to random people kierra

“He’s not random he’s Randy and yes I can and I will you all should stop treating me like am 10 am 18 leave me the hell alone

“Well if you stop acting like you’re ten maybe we’ll consider it

“Let me break it down for you Xander I do not care what you think about what I do I don’t give a flying f**k what you think I’ve told you leave me the hell alone… I screamed in his face

“I’m sorry about last night… He said as I stopped in my tracks

“I’m not… I replied walking off

“RULE NUMBER THREE…BE HEARTLESS…I thought heading back to our mat suddenly wishing I was home alone watching a movie sipping some hot coco inside the comfort of my home instead of having to deal with jackass Xander

“Well at least I got my music… I thought tunning it up to the loudest volume 😉😉
