"Elena please! Shut up." I groan. "No Archie! You got us into this annoying situation therefore I'm going to annoy you until we get out." She retorts.
I grab her waist and push her against a light pole. Her pupils dilate. "I thought I told you to sh...

Elena

"How dare you! You embarrassed me!" My mom yells at me and follow me into the kitchen. "You embarrass me every time someone mentions your name! You're a con artist and an ex-hooker, who's faking an illness and doesn't even have her own federal income and relys on her 16 year old daughter for all of her shit!" I don't care anymore.
Ethan comes in and sees me angry and my mom not saying anything. "Okay y'all need a therapy moment. Sit on the couch." He sighs angrily. "I don't need to, I said what needs to be said." I start walking to the stairs with Jonathan in tow. My mom starts cursing under her breath.
"Sit on the fucking couch! Both of you." His voice booms throughout the whole house and my eyes widen and I stop dead in my tracks, Valkyrie and Zeus run outside quickly. I turn around slowly and see how pissed off he looks. I quickly go and sit on the couch.
"Thank you. Evelyn you go first. Why are you upset with Elena?" He calms down as sits down on the coffee table. "I don't need this Ethan." She complains. "I swear to fucking god." He mumbles under his breath that we hear. "Yes you do you guys are getting worse with your fighting and I'm going to loose my shit one day I swear to god. Please just humor me and say why you're mad at your daughter." He pinches the bridge of his nose, I can tell he's trying not to get mad.
I sit there feeling bad for him. We really have been getting worse. "Well then, I feel like she's unappreciative for everything I do for her. I gave birth to her and I raised her and I was there for her when Evan passed. I think I deserve praise and love from her but I'm not getting any of it." She crosses her arms and says a hmph.
Ethan has a look in his eyes that he knows she's bluffing but doesn't say anything. "Okay now Elena your turn, why are you mad at your mother."
"I'm sorry that you have to witness this Ethan... but You don't give me ANY attention that a child needs, you slut shame me even though I've never had a boyfriend before Carter. You forced me to take medical classes knowing damn well I didn't want to do that and you know how passionate I am about Marine Biology. But you said 'it's the same thing just with humans and pays more'
When Evan died, all you did was drink and you gave me no attention, I was 11 years old and you left me at home alone, I didn't know how to cook or anything, Carmen had to come pick me up everytime I was home alone because you'd leave for HOURS and not come back until like 3am. I have to make your lazy ass breakfast because you're oh so sick with an illness that you got over months ago, that wasn't even that serious to begin with.
You forced me to get a job at 15 years old and made me quit the drama club and you take 80% of my pay checks for god knows what. And you know what? I'm done! I'm taking less shifts, I'm re-joining the drama club, and if you have something negative to say about it then you can keep it to yourself and shove your opinion up your-" Ethan stops me.
