My life wasn't mine (Harry : Harriette Hook) {💯%}

2. Working...

I was crying in my bed that night. My dad forced me to be someone I wasn't...
Cj probably heared me or she couldn't sleep regardless.
She stood in the doorframe and I patted the empty space besides me on the bed.
She crawled next to me and I wrapped my arm around her.
"It's okay Cj... Just try to sleep a bit okay?" I said softly in her ear and she did drift off like that.

My dad wouldn't let me go to school the next day. He used it as an excuse that school suspended me for a month.
Cj was told that Jay and the others would leave her alone, guess I hit Jay hard enough.

My dad forced me to work out, getting stronger and making sure that I wouldn't look like a skinny twig (for a guy then. I had a normal body for a girl of my age).
He made me do all kinds of things, he taught me some more sword fighting skills, trained me to get a better condition and he made me work out, as I said before.

I was tired by the end of the week and my dad looked at me.
"Tired already? This is how it will go for the time that you're suspended from school. After that, I want not a single word about Harriette. Because she doesn't exist, understood?" he barked and I nodded.
Cj sat down next to me on my bed, hugging me.
"Are you okay Cj?" I asked and she looked at me.
"Can you beat Jay up again...?" she asked softly and I got pissed that Jay was bullying her again.
But my dad wouldn't let me leave the house yet.

"But Jay's bullying Cj again! I beat him up once. I can handle it, doing it again." I said.
"You're not leaving the house until I give you permission, which means you won't be going anywhere until you're bot longer suspended from school." my dad said and Cj looked at him.
"But that's still three whole weeks..." she whined.
"If I can't stand up for Cj, it's going to be hell." I said and my dad looked at the two of us.
"Life on the isle is hell. Now go to your own rooms!" he barked and we hurried away.

I sighed as I was sitting on my bed.
My arms were sore of the workouts he made me do and it wasn't funny.
He even made me help out on the jolly rogger, moving heavy things around and mr. Smee was forced into teaching me how to sail.
I actually liked that part though- But that's not the point right now.
My dad was forcing me into becoming his perfect son, while I wasn't even a boy.
My dad's crewmembers were confused too but my dad got pissed when mr. Smee asked about it, so none of them said a word about it and decided to go with it.

Cj came home the next monday from school and her clothes were almost fully torn apart.
"What happend to you?" I asked as I hurried to her.
Tears were in her eyes and I already knew.
"I swear I'll kill Jay-"
"It wasn't Jay..." Cj mumbled softly and dad walked over to us.
"Get changed in some other clothes Cj." he said sternly and she did.
"That's all you care about, really?" I snapped.
"Tone it down son."
"I'm not your son. I'm your daughter-"
Then he slapped me in the face.
"No, you're not. You are my son, end of story!" he barked and my bottom lip was trembling a little.

I knocked on Cj's door and she let me in.
"So what did happen?" I asked.
"I got attacked by Tremaine's cat when I tried to pet it..." Cj mumbled and I looked at her.
"Sorry to say this, but that wasn't very smart."
Cj looked at me and I saw she had a small cut on her face.
"Here, wonder water from Tremaine. It helps." I said as I handed her a small bottle.
She hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her.
"Thank you sis." she said and I smiled.
She didn't care how I looked, I was still her sister.
