[SILVER RAYNE WILLIAMS]

I JOLTED awake at the sound of the door slamming open, sitting up in the bathtub, waves washing off me as I gasped for a breath, coughing out the side from my full submersion.

It was the only thing that had made me feel stable- seated at the bottom of the tub, covered in water from head to toe in my own cocooned reality.

The only way to deal with my panic attacks. I hadn't had a panic attack in a long while, but after what happened a few hours ago, my heart rate seemed to have spiked incredibly.

"Vella!" I heard mom call.

"Leave me alone!"

My eyebrows arched at the exchange. Quickly stepping out of the bath. I wrapped a robe around myself and a towel around my hair, walking into the bedroom, eyebrows drawn to the sight before me.

Tears were rushing down Vella's face, as she yelled at my mom.

"I don't want you here! Go. Away!" She yelled-

"Vella, Sweetheart, it's not a big deal," mom was trying to ease in, though her voice sounded strained.

"Vel?" I called.

Vella's eyes flashed to me, immediately running towards me for safety, her shaky arms wrapping around my waist and I held her close as she cried against my robe whilst I stared on in confusion.

My gaze trailed up to my mom, still holding my sister close.

"What happened?" I asked eyes on her.

She let out a breath, massaging her forehead, one hand on her waist, "I-It's nothing, she was dancing, and then she fell."

"She was dancing?" I echoed, eyes widening at the statement. My arm wrapped around my sister protectively.

"Yes, she uh, she danced with Hunter," mom confessed, her tone sounding misplaced as she took a breath out.

"I-I didn't want to," Silver sobbed, peering up at me, "I told her no, that I didn't want to dance but she said I had to."

My eyes flashed to my mom, and she rolled her eyes, shaking her head.

"It wasn't a big deal Vella, you liked it didn't you?"

"Liar!" She screeched, her watery eyes trailing to me, stepping back for a moment as her fiery eyes trailed to my mother.

"I told you I didn't want it! I hated it, and I hate him! I don't want him close to me! Y-you forced me to dance with him and then I.." her bottom lip quivered, "then I fell," she sniffed glancing up at me, "in front of everyone."

My eyes widened at this; mouth slightly open at the revelation. My heart thudded wildly within my chest, a feeling I never thought I could experience creeping within me as I stared at my mom.

Betrayal and hurt were what echoed through me at the moment.

"You made her do what?" I gritted out slowly, gaze narrowing on her, fury growing within me.
