Ever: Ever Chapter 4

by Dammy

Dammy I haven't been on much and I don't even know if anybody actually reads this but if you do, please tell me.
Our stepmother wouldn’t let us go play with our friends, she said we were in trouble but we didn’t do anything wrong and our grades were good. She’s making us play with Angel, but she keeps making us play like she’s the queen, she’ll never be the queen. I won’t let her.


I woke up to Bubble shaking me, how long was I asleep? I sat up, “Kai, are you ok?” Bubble asked as he sat on my bed beside me “You’ve been in here all day” I wiped my face, I guess I was crying in my sleep, and I said, “I'm fine, where’s Peach?” “He’s playing with Lia,” he said as he hugged me, I hugged him back. I went downstairs to help make dinner, Pidge walked up to me and hugged me “Kai, ya’see, I um, I'm sorry,” they said, “It's fine Pidge, just don’t bring it up again. Now, let go of me I have a knife in my hand.” I said as I was trying to cut up mushrooms, they backed off of me and asked, “What’cha making?” “I'm making the veggie mix to go with the steak, and don’t worry, I'll add sunflower seeds.” I responded as I finished cutting the mushrooms and started cutting the zucchini. Pidge hugged me again “Thanks, Kai” they walked into the living room and started playing with Peach and Lia. I finished my part of dinner and I went into the living room to read, it was always my favorite pastime and I knew it’d put me in a better mood.

Once dinner was over, everyone sat in the living room and did various activities, Peach and Lia played with wooden blocks, Max played tug of war with Christy, Pidge watched TV, and Bubble and I talked about our favorite characters from our books, which then led to a heated debate and eventually Pidge said from across the room “Why do you two fight about this so much? They are fictional characters, it doesn’t matter!” then I responded “What if we’re all fictional characters? Would we matter?” After that we fought a bit and all went to bed.


She fired Nanny today, but Nanny was the best at taking care of us, better than her anyway. Father is very sick now, I hope he gets better before Akuma and I start winter break.


I woke up in the middle of the night, confused. Why was I having these dreams? I don’t want to remember all this, I just want to forget it. I don’t want to go back to sleep so I go down the hall to check if anyone else was awake, and sure enough, Bubble was awake, sitting in his room with Pidge, “Hey guys,” I say as I walk in, “Kai, what’s wrong?” Bubble said as he looked at me. I knew he could tell I was tired, everyone in his family has the ability to read people. “Kai you need to sleep,” he told me, I shook my head, “No, don’t want to sleep, keep having bad dreams…” “About what? I may not seduce people, but I still know dreams.” Pidge said, “They’re about before, everything leading up to me, um, you know…” I say with tears going down my face “I, um, I think you should talk to Bubble about it.” Pidge said awkwardly as they transformed into a bird and flew out the window, which had been open. Bubble then hugged me while I started sobbing, “Shh, shh, it’s ok” he said as he rubbed my back, “You want to talk about it?” I nodded as I wiped my face, still sobbing as I spoke, “I miss them, and I regret it, even though it saved my life…” he nodded, “I miss them too, after all, I did have a crush on your brother,” he laughed “but it was the right thing to do, and I'm positive that Angel knows it.” We talked for a while, about how we had fun back then, and about what we would’ve changed. After a while I started nodding off and Bubble moved me to his bed and I slept.


Our father died and she had her new marriage instead of his funeral. I know why he died, but no one will listen to me, no one cares anymore. Akuma is sick now, and I yelled at my stepmother about it then she slapped me and threw me in my room but I snuck out. I have to warn Malcolm.

She killed my father. She killed my brother. Now she’s killing my boyfriend. So I'm going to kill her.



I awoke to Bubble asleep against the wall and Pidge pecking on the window, I then opened the window for them. “I see you guys didn’t wait for me,” they said as transformed back into a human and slid in the window, “I don’t blame you though, I was gone for at least two and a half hours'' I nodded silently, “You had another dream didn’t you?” Pidge asked. I nodded again “Yeah,” I said, now starting to cry, “this one was the worst” I sat on Pidge’s bed, they reluctantly hugged me, “You always have been a goodie two shoes…” I laughed a little, “Yeah…” “Hey, Kai I have something that I probably should have told you…” Pidge said uncomfortably, “What? What’s wro-” I was interrupted by a knock on the door. I went downstairs to open the door as Pidge tried to stop me, “Ok, now listen I very much should have already told you this, but when you open that door, don’t get aggressive!” Pidge said, panicking, “Why would I get aggressive?” I said as I opened the door, and then I saw why.

It was Angel “Hi…” she said nervously.
