| UNFORESEEN | WILHEMINA VENABLE

VERY VERY MISTAKEN

"Well, hello," she says brightly, my face shift into a disgust expression, "Carina, show some respect" my dad looks at me, "what? you didn't tell me she's joining us for dinner?" I snap, "sit. Down" his strong arms sit me down the chair next to Ms.Venable.

It's too much, everything bubbling inside of me at once. "Oh Carina don't act so surprise, dear. It's okay I forgave you for everything you done" her hand rubs my back, she observe my appearance and a slight smile appears on her face.

The three of us sit together, waiting for our food to arrive. Ms.Venable keeps on asking me random questions and all I can do is nods in response even to a 'why' or 'how' questions.

The longer I'm next to her, the more I feel sick. I feel like I have been punched in the stomach.

Our food is bringing to the tables by two waitresses and a one of them pour red wine for my dad and Ms.Venable, she attempts to pour some into my glass but Ms.Venable motion her hand to stop, "she's underage" that's what she said and the waitress gently nods before leaving our table.

Dad forks me a lobster roll and place it on my plate, the sooner the smell of food enter my nose, I feel the urge to puke luckily I stop myself.

I push my plate away from me, "Carina. Eat" dad push it back to my direction, I shake my head, too scared if I dare to open my mouth I would throw up on the dinner table.

"Sweetie, you should eat something. We don't want you to get now, do we?" Ms.Venable spoon feed me like a toddler, I refuse to open my mouth, "come on just one bite" her voice is soft yet so irritating. They keep forcing me my head starts spinning in every direction, I can't.

I can't do this. I want to go home please.

I grip tightly onto the napkin under the table.

The feeling of numbness is gone, it's overwhelming, I feel so many emotions and yet none of them make sense, I close my eyes the sounds of them talking and trying to force me to open my mouth and swallow the food. My breathing become unstable I feel like I'm was drowning.
Dying.

I feel her hand again on my arm, that's when I lost it, "STOP! STOP YOUR DISGUSTING ACTING! I CAN'T" I flip the table and all the food went onto her dress and onto my father's suit, wine glass shattered across the restaurant floor, every head turn in my direction, a manager come rushing to stop me.

I glare deadly at Venable, "you... WHAT DID I EVEN DONE TO YOU, YOU BITCH" a harsh slap was given to me by my own father. I gasps in pain and confusion.

He drags me by my arm outside the restaurant to the parking lots, I was stone cold.

"YOU ARE BEING SUCH AN UNGRATEFUL CHILD!!!" He yells while raising his hand about to hit me again but Venable stopped him.

"She's young, don't blame her", "WHY CAN'T YOU SEE? Ms.Venable care about you and you... you're acting like a brat" he grip tightly on my arms shaking me, "FUCK HER AND FUCK YOU YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT, BOTH OF YOU SHOULD GO TO HELL!!!" I yells.

Venable pull on my father's shoulder stopping him for putting bruises on me.

"THAT'S NOT HOW YOU TALK TO YOUR PARENTS!!!" he point his finger at my face, "you're a disappointment" he adds, I stand there my body shiver from fear and the unpleasant weather.

"SHE'S NOT MY MOTHER, AND YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER ANYMORE" I raise my voice, I watch them whispering something to each other "go and wait in the car, I'll talk to her" my father then leave us.

She turns to me her face seems to be amused by the events, she starts getting closer and closer to me, "you're such a disappointment, Carina" she softly says raising my chin up with her finger, looking right into my eyes, I spit at her face. She laughs wiping away the spit from her face with white tissue from her purse.

Suddenly her aggressive grips land on my arms, "that's not how you treat your mother, Carina" she bite down her jaw as if she wanted to skin me alive.

"you are not my mother!" I hiss, this bitch getting too delusional, "go ahead and ask your beloved daddy, my sweet. Me and your father are going to get married soon. Don't even know why your mom is gone? Like this!?" She snap her finger in my face, I shut my eyes.

"Your mother and your father filed for divorce weeks ago and now he is being so thoughtful of his little girl well-being, how sad it would be to not have a mother, so he decided I'm fit be your step mom" an smirk stand on her face.

I blood ran cold.

"Don't die on me now" She says, "also did you notice anything different?" She raise her hand showing me a her ring finger, "your father has such an amazing taste in diamonds" she leans in closer I could smell the red wine from her hot breaths "he proposed" she kiss my cheek before whispering to my ear "my sweet girl you're very very mistaken".
