The alarm blared in my ears.
Jerking awake, I swung an arm to hit the retro clock’s bell to stop the
shrieks, only to knock over a hummingbird desk lamp. It hit the floor, and
its gold-accented glass panels shattered.
Shit. Mom was going to kill me for breaking her favorite touch lamp.
What excuse could I give her?
A sharp pain surged to my brain, clearing any sleepiness.

Mom was gone, as was Dad. They’d vanished without a trace three
days ago. I’d dropped out of college and left my hot boyfriend to come
home to take care of my six younger siblings.
I hit the clock and the shrieking alarm shut up. I forced my eyes open
and stared until the clock came into focus. The needle pointed to five.
I groaned. Five AM was a goddamned hour.
I had to get up and make breakfast for my siblings. I’d clean up the
mess of the broken lamp after those little buggers were out of the house.
It sucked to be the oldest child.
Why did my siblings need to eat? Couldn’t they just grow up like the
weeds in the backyard instead of requiring maintenance?
My mouth drooping, I dragged myself to the edge of the bed and
perched there. For a second, I debated throwing myself back onto the pillow
and letting the world burn.
And then my siblings would miss school. Chaos would whip the house
with them all home, and I wouldn’t have a moment of peace. Then social
services would pay us a visit and take them away because I couldn’t
provide for my siblings.
Anxiety throbbed in my veins.
I tramped to the window and wrenched open thick curtains. A mass of
gray light splashed across the sky. The tiny hairs on my nape bristled.
Someone was watching me.
I scanned the street, skimming beyond the tree lines along the driveway
that curved around my Spanish-style house. I didn’t spot any movement, yet
I knew for sure I was being observed closely.
Did this new development have anything to do with my parents’
disappearance? My heart rammed into my ribcage. I’d have to wait until my
siblings were out of the house to scout the neighborhood and investigate.
I yanked back the curtains to obscure the view of any stalker. A
foreboding chill slithered up my spine, knocking the last trace of sleepiness
from my system. I threw on a pink T-shirt that said: What’s my weakness?
Six pack abs and a trail of golden hair. The hem settled a few inches above
my knees. I opened the door and bumbled downstairs.
The house was quiet. All of my siblings still slumbered. Sweet dreams,
I thought bitterly. Pausing in the middle of the stairs, I yelled so my voice
filled the house. “Wake up! I’m not nice like Mom!”
“You’re a bitch, Evelina!” A high-pitched voice came from an upstairs
room. Safiya was my least favorite sibling, a fifteen-year-old who
demanded the world revolved around her.
