Clodovea Hilton!Are you just going to stand there and stare at me without saying anything?I'm talking to you b***h!''Aunt yells but I don't move. I don't feel like moving,or talking or even seeing anyone.I haven't felt like doing any of those since last year,when I lost my whole family in one night.
Those heartless bastards!I watched my parents die right before me when I was only twelve.It's surprising how a happy life suddenly ends without warning.
"Honey,you know she's going through a lot.You should be sympathizing with her"My uncle,Seth says
"Are you siding with her or something?Since when did you like the Hiltons'?huh!Stop acting like the saint here"Aunt Juliette retaliates.she's right.None of them liked us.Even now,they aren't going to act like family.
''I was just saying"he shrugs
"Keep your comments to yourself then"Aunt snaps
"Clod,go tot your room"Seth sighs and I obey
"The quiet kid got some scolding from mom!"Elsa teases
"Of course she did sis"Andy,her brother joins.I ignore them.I don't have the strength to pay attention to them
...
'I think she needs counselling.She's emotionally unstable"I hear Seth say
"Why do you seem to care anyways?The Hiltons' have always been the talk of the town while we,we suffer.Let Clara save her sweet Clodovea now that she's in her grave"Juliette chuckles
"Juliette,she was your blood sister,don't forget..."
"What did she ever do for me?Let's talk about something better please"She yells
I allow my feet to carry me to my room and lock the door behind me.Sliding down the floor with my legs crouched to my chest,my arms wrap around them as I pour out my heart.I stare at the portrait of my family.We looked so happy then.Look at me now.Why did all this have to happen.Why is life so unfair?Why did I have to survive it if I was going to suffer?
...
I feel a soft touch on my back and my eyes flutter open.Did I fall asleep? My uncle's smile appears and I gulp.His hand moves to my hand and I quickly grab his arm
"What are you doing?"
"Come on Clod.As long as you allow me have my way,you'll be safe in this house.Juliette can't do anything to you,okay"He whispers and I feel disgusted just hearing this from him.
"N-No"I stammer and he frowns
"You'll have it the rough way then"
