I Cry Real Diamonds - Part II

hello i'm agnes my life story is very interesting because i have something very few other people have when i cry i don't have tears coming out of my eyes i know it sounds unbelievable but when i cry tiny diamonds fall out of my eyes yes i said diamonds this is the second part of my story i'll give you a quick summary but if you haven't seen the first part you can click this link to watch it when i was little i thought that everyone cried just like me but my mom made sure that nobody ever saw me cry not even my dad she was afraid that if bad guys found out that i was crying diamonds they would kidnap me and hold me hostage for the rest of my life she was right to think that way one day my mom made me promise that i'd keep my condition a secret until i died four years later she was involved in a car accident and passed away my dad got married again soon after my stepmother has a daughter and i didn't like either of them from the moment i saw them obviously i didn't want them to find out about my secret but unfortunately i wasn't careful and they learned the truth at first they didn't believe me they even laughed at me but when i started crying in front of them they saw that it was true it was a huge surprise for everyone to find out that i had this incredible condition it was my dad who spoke first agnes this is unbelievable and very dangerous too if people knew about this really bad things could happen to you i understand now why your mother kept this even from me then he turned to my stepmother and her daughter from now on agnes's secret is our secret too to protect her we can't tell anyone about it i want you to promise that you won't they both nodded and said we promise then my stepmother grabbed the bag of diamonds from my dad which of course wasn't surprising but there's no harm in selling these don't worry i won't tell anyone where they came from agnes from now on you'll give me the diamonds that come out of your eyes and i'll sell them for our family the next day my stepmother and her daughter came home with a ton of shopping bags looking at the bags i could tell that they went to all the most expensive stores apparently when my stepmother said our family she meant only herself and her own daughter my stepmother's daughter nancy came to my room that evening she was very excited saying my mom says it would be so wonderful to move into a big beautiful house and we can do it thanks to you it wouldn't hurt you to cry a little what do you say it was useless to argue i said okay i'll collect and give you the diamonds if i cry just to get rid of her she left my room ecstatic next morning when i came to get breakfast i saw my stepmother and her daughter waiting for me impatiently my stepmother asked did you cry where are the diamonds i was so angry before i could say anything dad said honey you shouldn't say things like that agnes should never feel like she's under pressure which shut my stepmother up this subject didn't come up again for a while i was surprised that they gave up so quickly later i found out it was because they still had money they were going shopping almost every day but after a while they stopped that's when i figured the money had run out one day i was hanging out in my room after school nancy came in and said mom is calling you she made popcorn she says let's watch a movie together i was surprised because this was very unusual i thought to myself where did this come from when i came to the living room my stepmother was looking at me with a fake smile on her face agnes this movie has very good reviews let's watch it together she said so we started watching this will smith movie first the main character lost his job then his wife left him he was left with a six-year-old son as if that weren't enough the landlord kicked them out they had to start living on the streets when i saw my stepmother and nancy crying their hearts out i knew what they were trying to do they wanted to make me cry during the sentimental movie and then collect the diamonds but there was one thing they didn't know i never get emotional during movies i don't get scared when i watch horror movies and i don't cry during tear jerkers my stepmother and her daughter cried throughout the whole movie at the same time they kept checking to see if i was crying too when the movie was over they were really upset because they didn't get those diamonds they were dreaming about over the next few days my stepmother did everything she could to make me cry thankfully because she was scared of my dad they were all harmless tricks but one of them made me really mad when i came home after school i went straight to my room like i always do when i entered my room i was so shocked by what i saw the curtains were closed there were lit candles standing around the weirdest part was that there were a bunch of photos of my mom taped to the wall and some of them my mom was by herself and in others it was both of us this of course was my stepmother's latest trick i ran over to her can you explain to me what is happening in my room i screamed she faked surprise saying i found out that your mom's birthday is coming up i wanted to surprise you didn't you like it i said i didn't because i know why you did it i won't cry just because you want me to after which she dropped all pretense look agnes you're the goose that lays the golden egg that's why i won't hurt you but if you want to live in this house you'll have to come up with the goods or i won't be responsible for what's going to happen to you she was clearly threatening me i got back to my room fuming i had to do something right away when my dad came home i went to speak with him before i could open my mouth he said your mom called me and told me about what happened between you she made a surprise for you with the best of intentions your reaction is wrong you've become too paranoid i said dad first of all that woman is not my mother and how can you even think that her intentions are good all she is trying to do is to make me cry and get the diamonds my dad got really upset even if you don't accept it she's your mother now if you think she wants the diamonds then give them to her why are you being so stubborn he screamed when he said that to me i knew my stepmother got to him from then on it was dangerous for me to stay at home because of the things my mom was worried about could happen to me except my mom was afraid of the mafia but it looked like it would be my own stepmother who would hurt me i thought for a long time i couldn't go to the police or the social services because then my secret would be out that could cause a whole lot of other problems i had enough diamonds hidden in the basement to allow me to support myself for years but i couldn't leave home because i wasn't an adult yet i didn't have any relatives that i could safely stay with even though i was so angry with my stepmother i had no choice but to give her what she wanted at night when everyone else was sleeping i went down to the basement and got a small bag of diamonds in the morning i took out a few and went to the kitchen my stepmother and her daughter were having breakfast i showed them the diamonds in my hand finally my stepmother screamed she took the diamonds but she was clearly not satisfied saying these are way too few we need a lot more than just these of course i wasn't going to give her what she wanted i was going to turn 18 in only seven months after that i was determined to take my diamonds and leave home until that day came i was going to stall my stepmother by giving her a few diamonds from time to time since the diamonds in the basement were my future i had to hide them somewhere outside the house somewhere safer so do you know where i hid them at my mom's grave i bought a nice flower planter i put the bag with the diamonds at the bottom i filled it up with soil and then planted the flowers on top i went to the cemetery and put the planter in front of my mom's tombstone i couldn't think of a safer spot than that it would steal a flower pot from a grave i was so relieved because the diamonds were safe with my mom i left one bag inside the cupboard in the basement i was taking a couple of diamonds a few times a month and giving them to my stepmother even though she wanted more she couldn't say anything because thanks to me she'd bought a new car she was wearing only designer clothes and she got a ton of jewelry the day before my 18th birthday my stepmother and her daughter came to my room i was about to finally become free but of course they didn't know that my stepmother looked agitated agnes why aren't we moving into a better house why don't we have maids and cooks she asked because you don't have enough money to afford all that i replied she waved her finger at me we actually do have money all you need to do is cry but you're not doing it on purpose you're giving us crumbs just like you would to a beggar she said do you want me to cry just so that i can give you diamonds i asked her and she said yes agnes i want you to cry if you don't cry on your own i will make you cry i'm done waiting i'm giving you until tomorrow if you don't cooperate you're going to be in a lot of trouble and she left nancy was still in the room agnes you'd better take my mom seriously she's capable of doing things you can't even imagine she said and left slamming the door behind her i thought my dear stepmother gave me until tomorrow but she has no idea what's going to happen tomorrow and burst out laughing never in my life have i slept more peacefully than i did that night you're wondering what happened in the house the next day right unfortunately i don't know because i didn't stick around to find out when i woke up in the morning i was an 18 year old adult i could do whatever i wanted and i did i left home without saying a word to anyone right now i'm in a small town on the other side of the country i'm not using my real name no one in this town knows who i am as you might guess i'm living on the money from the diamonds that i hid at my mom's grave i don't need a lot of money anyway but when i do i can just cry a little and i found a very easy way to do it because i'd never cooked before i'd never chopped onions either one day i was making dinner and i chopped onions for the first time suddenly diamond started pouring out of my eyes i realized that i could cry very easily thanks to onions i'm so happy my stepmother couldn't think of this thank you for listening to my
