Ivory Martinez, surrounded by neglect and her own feelings of isolation, detested the presence of her upstairs neighbor, Luke Ross. He was alway...
Ivory walked down the stairs to see her parents having breakfast in the kitchen.
"Well look who decided to finally get out of her room." Veronika spat out, eating her piece of toast
"Good morning to you too." Ivory smiled sarcastically
"We don't need your sarcasm, young lady." Diego warned
Ivory signed before grabbing her jacket and fumbling in her bag to look for her keys.
"Where are you going?" Veronika asked curiously
"To the park. I just need to clear my mind." the Martinez girl reasoned
"Why?"
"To- Clear my mind..I just told you-"
"No, I meant why did you have to clear your mind? Is there something bothering you?" Veronika asked sweetly
Ivory was shocked. Her step-mom? Concerned about her? Ivory wanted to give her a chance. She thought that her step-mother actually had a change of heart.
"Just- stressed about studies." she lied
"Hm. Maybe if you tried hard enough you wouldn't be so stressed out." Veronika muttered quietly
She thought wrong.
Ivory sighed in frustration, careful not to accidentally lash out at her step-mom "I am trying.." she mumbled
"Mm. What was that?" Veronika turned to her
"I am trying." she whispered sheepishly
"You're trying?" Diego raised an eyebrow "We do everything to support you, yet you come home with a D?"
"Support me? Not once in my life have you two ever supported me." Ivory spat out
"Ivorina we do everything to support you! We took care of you, we raised you and your sister!" Veronika stood up in anger
"No! You only raised my sister! You never took care of me!"
