Not Bulletproof

Memories were my precious gemstones, but I kept losing them in the arms of hell. Perhaps it was the poison, but something felt wrong within my body. At times like these, I missed Dad more than I missed books and starry nights. He used to tell me I should count my blessings as they come for free. But why did I feel like there was a high price?

I never really paid attention to my dreams, not even when I was an ill child. But the strange hallucinations from two days ago wouldn’t let me be. Was it just a nightmare? A delirium?

It had to be.

For years, I tried to push away the memories of my eighth birthday, but the poison in my veins directed my mind in the opposite direction. It made me recall the day vividly against my will. But the nonsense illusion caused by the venom distressed me. It disoriented me.

Was it crazy to question my memories? Perhaps I began losing my mind in this hell named Eden because the hallucinations had nothing to do with the actual events. It had to be the poison that messed up with my memories. It had to be the curse within my blood that made me imagine I was cured of leukaemia by a vampire—by one of the two vampires I knew.

But which one?

The memory had to be fake.

It had to.

What really happened that day was that Regina showed up at the hospital with her new man to see me for one last time. Despite my illness and all the treatments I had to go through, that birthday was the most hurtful. My mother visited me to announce she gave up on trying to save me, gave up on tolerating my father, and decided to have a different life. Regina abandoned us. She left Dad to enjoy a luxurious life instead of drowning in a broken family.

Yet, she was the one who broke it.

My eyes watered as I remembered begging for her to stay, promising her I’d be a good girl and submit to any treatments and never disobey her. Yet none of my pleads helped. She just walked away with her lover, and it was the last time I saw her.

I frowned in frustration. Never had I tried to pay attention to the man she brought with her that day. All I knew was to recognise his lavish clothing and that he was ridiculously wealthy. But I couldn’t recall his face.

On the other hand, it made sense to forget such details. It was my childhood trauma, after all. It made me distrust people, and it was the reason I couldn’t form meaningful friendships because I’d always expect people to abandon me. Dad was my only friend and my only family.

A hot tear slid down my right cheek as I focused on replaying the devastating flashback—Regina’s cold voice, her indifferent eyes and rushed steps to leave me, my frail hand reaching out to grasp the air between us as if I could catch her.
