The Crown's Interest

Beneath the surface

The days passed quickly, and the so sisters barely spoke to each other. Beth rarely goes out she spends most of the time thinking about everything. Ellie tried to reach out, but Beths walls welled up. Their parents saw what was going on but said nothing this time around. "

" Ella yes..... She responded come buy me some flour. Okay mother. Ella left for the market. The market is bustling hub of activity, filled with vibrant colors, enticing aromas large and lively sounds. Within a few miles on her right are aromatic so spices, fleshly baked bread andcl chattering shoppers.

"Ella quickly went Mr. Hughes for the flour. Oh my dear daughter come how have you been mm? Am fine I hope you are not fighting with your sister again. We are okay Mr. Hughes. Okay okay..... I will leave now.

" As Ella turned her back rushing to leave as people were already buzzing in she bumps into someone. Oh am so sorry I did not mean to. I will help pick it up quickly. ' you do not have to, we turned and faced each other and I realised that it's the famous tailors man. Am... am sorry I... Its okay miss Ella. Oh am I will leave now. Wait, miss can I just walk with you I mean that's if u don't mind. "yes sure okay so how have you been. I have been good yourself great as well. I mean its a coincidence we met so how about we don't waste such chances by you making it up to me.

"Really but I thought you said I was okay oh it indeed is but well, not okay hahaha Ella burst out laughing.

'I will see if we can another time okay bye. Bye miss Ella hope to see you again.

Just as Ella was about to reach home. Within a few miles home. As she walked down the hallway, eyes fixed on the floor. A group of kids and adults snickered and whispered behind her. "hey look at the girl who always fights with her sister as if they fighting over a man. Hahaha look....... As one guy approached Ella and held her hand.

Please let go.... Hahaha she's so timid just before he can touch her face Be here shouted let my sister go...... The boy swollen hard as she new Beth was a fighter one who beat boys without mercy.

The quickly running away... Thank you Beth. Are we talking now Ella asked as they walked home.

Beth hiding her feelings said No.... "Come on Beth, cut the act already I missed you. I know you're hurting too. Her facade crumble but she said nothing. As they reached home Beth went to her room quietly as she reached there tears fell as she realised she has missed her sister too.

" can I come on Ella asked as she met her sister crying. Ella approached her quietly when he did not push her away. Am sorry Ella am sorry I..... I.... Miss you too. No am the one sorry." No Ella I was selfish I shouldn't have.... Ella's eyes welled with tears as she thought of her brother's passing.

Beth realised that she has been so focused on her anger toward Ella that she hasn't gives properly. The pain and sadness she had possessed began to surface as she remembered their childhood. Slias was close to all of them not she alone but she carried the burden not allowing her pain out...

"she realised as she cried that a huge burden was lifted off her shoulders. Ella let's turn this house into a home again. Okay Ella responded let's try we can after all together we are one.

That evening both girls sat in the room understanding each other with memories they buried deep within.
