(First Draft) The Sound Of A Dying Butterfly

S1-E2 The Merkley Family

S1-E2 The Merkley Family

Apr 13, 2020

2. "Sorry...I left you hanging there, didn't I, well, I black out sometimes in clouded thoughts, as if my thoughts and mind just take over me, and I have to stop doing that if i'm going to write to you, anywho, let me tell you what happened when I blacked out....

"Kierra? Kierra!" 

I looked up and saw all of them staring at me, looking a bit worried, never have I gotten this much attention, one of my nightmares is to have more than one person look at me, and it's happening. 

"Sorry, just a little tired, that's all." Kaleb starts saying, "Is going to college stressing you out? That's understandable, even though I serve the country, so, I would never know." He smiles a little bit and continues showing mom and dad his pictures. 

I slouched back on the recliner chair, and just listened to them laughing and talking again, they didn't ask if I was truly okay, they, my parents were so focused on Kaleb and Kevin, so, I loved to just listen, hoping they would acknowledge what i'm doing, I mean, I am the one who just graduated, can we talk about that, for once, please." 

That night, my sister Keisha came back, and said that her date with Amelio, went perfect, and that he is an engineer, come on, y'all are perfect together, but as they keep having family time, I'm upstairs, in my room writing this in my diary, which yes, I still have, I have to in this neglectful family, but by this time, I'm used to it. 

I need to be noticed at least once, for I have great attributes to this prestiges family as well, I'm the youngest, are we not the most noticed, I am very...shaken by this. It seems that they're getting ready to leave now, better go downstairs and see them go. I'm heading to the staircase, and yeah, that's enough. 

Okay, I'm getting ready to go to sleep and they still haven't noticed me yet, at least when my siblings are gone. And now, here is a list of things, or my siblings in order

OLDEST- Kevin Merkley, the businessman that my family really needed, 'sarcasm' I love him, he always asks if I'm alright, that's it. He's 32.

SECOND OLDEST-  Keisha Merkley, the graphic designer, and fashion designer, that just brought a whole nother meaning of talent to this family. She's 28.

THIRD OLDEST- Kaleb Merkley, the soldier, sorry, I don't know much about the military surprisingly, but he is always so full of himself, and sometimes I think he's gay, but I don't know. He's 25.

FOURTH OLDEST-  Kano Merkley, he passed away due to a terrible car crash when I was twelve, he, I still love the most, but...He might be one of the main reasons for my neglect. He would be 23.

YOUNGEST-  Me! Yes, the untalented squat of the family. I'm 18, of course.

PARENTS- Timothy Merkley and Donories Merkley, my main neglectors, but don't let them hear me say that, this is a black family, i'm not trying to die over the word neglectful. They are 56 and 58.

It's so sad that she has no one to talk with.
