Opposites attract

Dinner time (pt.2)

Wednesday's pov:

Still no reply from Enid. I wonder if she has her phone off or silenced? It's about 3 and I haven't had much more encounters with my parents besides my mom coming in to check on me a few times. It's good to be home but honestly it feels a little...empty.

If I were at Nevermore right now I'd be trying to work on my novel while Enid blasts pop music and tries to hug me. I used to find it kind of annoying but honestly I think I might miss it. If it wasn't Enid bothering me it'd be Eugene or Xavier. Hell maybe it'd even be Bianca trying to challenge me to something. It doesn't matter I just miss everyone. Is this what it's like having friends? Just constant sadness and boredom when your not with them?

I hear a knock at my door.
-"w-Wednesday? You in there?"
It's my brother.
-"come in Pugsley"
I reply as I attempt to finish a drawing I had started. The door opens and Pugsleys face lights up.
-"sis!"
He exclaims and traps me in a hug. I let him hug me for a second.
-"ok. Release me"
I reply, rolling my eyes.

He smiles.
-"I've missed you"
I think for a moment and frown.
-"I do believe I've missed you too"
I reply.

Enid's pov:

-"so Tony, how old are you again?"
My mom says, taking a bite of the free bread. Tony finishes the bite he had just taken.
-"18 next week m'am"
He replies with a puppy like smile. Sure he seems innocent enough but I remember what he was like.
-"ohhh Enid'll be 16 in February"
My mom says. Tony smiles.
-"yeah what a shame your an adult"
My brother replies, clearly upset at the whole situation.
-"you hold your tongue!"
My mom snaps back. Tony awkwardly laughs.

-"I-I'll be right back"
I say with a smile and I see Tony's eyes narrow as he frowns. I head to the bathroom and check to make sure no one else is in there. I scream and kick one of the bathroom stalls. Tears begin pouring down my face. It's suffocating. I know all the things he did I can practically feel it still, I can feel his tongue shoving itself down my throat, I can feel his rough hands grip my thighs. I can just feel all of it but nobody notices!

I'm forced to smile and laugh. What's worse is Tony hasn't said a word about it. It's like it's never even happened...

It's terrible that it happened but I hate that it's being ignored like it never did. I continue crying in a ball on the floor for a bit until I hear someone open the door.
-"Enid! Quit being rude and socialize!"
I hear my mom yell. I quickly wipe my tears and steady my voice.
-"yes mother, just a moment!"
I call back. I hear her close the door and I straighten myself out. I walk back to the table and Tony smiles as me.

-"well we've already ordered"
My mom says, rolling her eyes.
-"it's ok I ordered for you"
Tony says. My mom smiles.
-"aww enie isn't he just the sweetest??"
I awkwardly laugh.
-"like sugar"
I reply as I sit down. A few minutes pass.
-"hey enie can we talk outside for a moment?"
He asks. I look at my family but no one notices anything.
-"s-sure"
I reply as I put my head down and stand up again. He smiles and leads me outside.

-"so...you left."
He states as he rests on the railing of the restaurant patio.
-"I did"
I reply.
-"how was it at your "fancy" private school? How many of those fancy little boys did you kiss??"
He says, walking closer and closer to me. I feel my heart speed up. A-am I scared right now?

I roll my eyes and back up.
-"I didn't kiss any and it's none of your business if I did"
I reply.
-"not like we were even dating"
I mumble.
-"listen Sinclair! I-"
He cuts himself off and takes a breath. He smiles as he looks down at me.
-"Look darlin' I know I've made some mistakes in the past but I've changed. I've gotten better...for you"
He says.
-"now how's about we start over?"

He asks, leaning down to kiss me. I quickly push him away.
-"well I see YOU haven't changed"
He says annoyedly as he rolls his eyes.
-"come on WHAT is it you want!? WHAT more can I do for you!? You don't want ME?? Look at me Enid I'm fuckin' gorgeous and you're...your just some little kid who doesn't have a damn clue what she wants to do with her life. Ya can't even wolf out for Pete's sakes"
He yells. I feel tears form in my eyes and my fear almost increases.

He smiles.
-"look Enid I've actually become pretty successful over these past few years. I was voted homecoming king, prom king, AND I'm in line to be valedictorian"
He says as he nods his head, clearly impressed with himself.
-"I've also been accepted into Brown. That's ivy league"
He whispers with a smile.
-"I'm well on money, popular, and clearly have a good life set up, so what is it you don't like about me?"
He asks.

-"gee I don't know could it be your anger issues? The fact that your like a fucking adult while I'M not even 16 yet!?"
I yell. He raises his arm and I think 'this is it. This is where it all starts over again. This is when I get hit but am forced to smile as he gropes me under the table' but surprisingly I don't get hit. I open my eyes and see my brother holding Tony's wrist. He pushes Tony away.
-"she's a fucking minor dude!"
My brother yells as he jumps and begins punching Tony.
-"a god damn minor what the fuck is wrong with you!?"
He yells, continuing to beat Tony.

-"god damn pervert, can't you get a girl your age? Fucking loser I should KILL YOU!! Why can't you stay away from my baby sister!!?!"
He yells and I see his fangs slightly come out. Suddenly the front door burst open.
-"what the hell are you doing!?"
My mom yells. My mom angrily stomps over to my brother and yanks him off of Tony.
-"ma! But he-"
-"I don't wanna hear it!"
She yells.
-"Tony deary are you ok?"
She asks as she helps him up.
-"well m'am honestly no. With all due respect your family is fucking crazy"
He says storming off.

-"get in here boy!"
My mom yells as she grabs my brother by his ear and me by my wrist. She drags us inside and back to the table.
-"well congratulations on ruining our dinner"
My mom says angrily.

1 hour later

-"hey.."
I whisper to my brother as we're in the car. He looks at me.
-"why'd ya do that? You didn't have to"
He frowns.
-"I know I'm not the best at showing it but your my little sister and I love you ens. I'm not just gonna let some perv mess with you"
I smile a bit.
-"I'm sorry you got in trouble"
-"nah it's nothin' I'll be fine"
He reply's.

Wednesday's pov:

-"Wednesday! Dinners ready!"
I hear my mom call from downstairs.
-"just a moment mother!"
I reply.
-"now here is where you press if you wanna paralyze them"
I say to Pugsley, pointing down at a diagram of the human body.
-"woahh"
He says, his eyes widening. I smile a bit.

-"and you press here if you wanna kill them"
I say pointing to another spot on the diagram.
-"kids?"
I hear my father call out.
-"coming!"
My and Pugsley respond, practically in unison.
