Stare~

I exited the room with a blank stare on my face, what was the reason for visiting me again this year to take a test? It's odd because it was a blood test, as far as I know I don't take drugs so there could be 3 alternative options. One would be that they want to check for a disease or something related to my health, two, they are checking for mana, or they doubt that I am really the son of the Sullivan head.

Either way, I could not read them like an open book.

Creak

The door closed on my way out, it was a particularly sunny day today, yet I couldn't muster up energy or bring myself to care much about it. I suppose over the years of loss-contact with Brother and the other members of the family I became sad and quiet. I got used to many things like lacking supplies, warm water and food, torn clothing, and being ignored. It's a pretty gloomy life I have to say, but I have started to change, I can't tell if it's a good or bad change. But, I am very moody and when something is done in a way I despise, I take it out on others easily.

Even things I didn't care about before have started to invade my mood. Things like being called ugly in comparison to my brother, to be fair he had all the necessities one could have compared to me.

" Maybe I should drop my good nature, after all, they will all continue to mistreat me if I don't do something." I thought to myself completely focused.

After a while, I really started listening to that inner voice, I acted and lashed out and I started gaining the respect I deserved. I was happy until my father's assistant, Mr. Chare came to relay a message to me.

" Mr. Celeste, as you know your father is quite busy, and time is of the essence in this family, so I will get to the point. I ask that you tone down your behavior and act like your brother, good natured, with the way your attitude is right now, it will get you nowhere."

"Eh, good natured? Like my brother? It seems to me that, you. Clearly. Haven't. Tried. Hard. to. Be. Acknowledged. Sir." I said in a provocative tone before I lashed out.

" I'm afraid you don't under–"

"AFRAID I DON'T UNDERSTAND?!"

Mr. Chare froze for a moment staring at me, almost surprised," Mr. Celeste please listen–"

I stood up from my seat and yelled,"LISTEN? TO WHAT, YOU BABBLE WHEN YOU AND AND THE.ENTIRE. FAMILY DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OF MY SITUATION?" I asked, completely aggravated," YOU–" I said before interrupted.

" Mr. Celeste, if you don't heed my warning then that is it. I am only here to relay the message and provide understanding. If you'll excuse me, I shall leave, please think carefully about your decisions."

And it unfolded just like that, afterwards I was completely enraged and started scribbling all over papers and ripping apart things. But, after a few days I calmed down and continued my daily life. In that week, I had been extremely unbearable and ended up throwing food on the ground, ripping clothes, yelling at servants, and becoming sensitive to the smallest things like cold bath water.

" You, WHY IS MY WATER COLD?!" I said in a harsh, rough tone.

" I-I-uh-eh-uh" the servant stammered.

I took some water into a jug for bathing and threw the water on the servant, I then threw hot tap water on the servant before finally telling her," Go.Get.Me.Warm.Water. Miss."

Another time a snack of mine was broken off of, I shouted at the head servant," What's this?! Do you think i'm some kind of joke?"

" Sir it's just a cracked cook–"
