SERIOUSLY AMELIA!? A- IN HISTORY!?

Amelia didn't understand, she got A+ in every subject except history. Why was it always like this? She thought, keeping her head down. She stayed silent not daring to look up at the woman she called her mother.

Odalia- I EXPECT YOU TO DO BETTER ON YOUR NEXT EXAMS..YOU ARE DISMISSED

Amelia- Yes mother..

Why do you care so much about my grades and our reputation anyways? Amelia mumbled under her breath, thinking out loud, reaching the steps before her mother stopped her.

Odalia- What was that dear?.. she said walking up to Amelia.

Amelia froze in fear, realising what she mumbled out. Amelia tensed up looking at the ground, already knowing what's gonna happen.

Amelia mumbled the same things she said earlier like her mother had ordered her to do.

Odalia put her hand under Amelia's chin lifting it up roughly.

Odalia- WELL!? SPEAK UP! WE BLIGHTS MUST KEEP UP OUR REPUTATION AND SHOW NO WEAKNESS!

Amelia felt tears stinging her eyes, her vision started to get blurry as she bit her
lip, hard enough that it started bleeding. She kept her head down and choked out- 'yes mother'.

No matter how hard Amelia tried, the tears just kept over flowing her eyes and dropping down. Amelia looked up to her mother's cold stare. She then swallowed the big lump in her throat and managed to say- ' yes mother I'm sorry' as tears started to spill out again.

Odalia- STOP CRYING U BRAT! LISTEN TO ME, CRYING IS A WEAKNESS.

What happens next is what Amelia has prepared for the whole time she entered the hell hole.

Odalia rose up her hand stiffening it for a hardcold blow. Amelia tensed, ready for the pain...

SMACK!

There it was, the hard, cold finishing blow. Amelia put her hanf up to her cheek where it got slapped. It stinged, but unlike the other times it didn't hurt much. Maybe it was because after all this time, all the pain, she was already numb.

Odalia- You will not have dinner tonight and tomorrow, you will not have breakfast. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?

Amelia- 'yes mother' she said emotionless. If you compared a zombie to Amelia's voice, you would see there's no difference.

Odalia- oh, and you'll be sleeping in the closet tonight. Punishment for getting a A- , she said grabbing a tight hold of Amelia's wrist and dragging her to the closet. She then threw her into the pile of forgotten stuff, then locked the door.

Le gay time skip ✨✨🏳️‍🌈💅
(Next day where she meets Lucia, so that it makes sense)..

I woke up, my head throbbing as I remembered last nights events... I try to get the lock to open, but the door doesn't budge. Suddenly, I heard a ruckus coming from the otherside. The door opened revealing light to the dark,cold room. I then remember the situation and prepare for the worse, thinking it was my mother I put my head down and got ready for another hard,cold slap.

It never came, I was curious as to why I hadn't felt any pain yet, I looked up, only to be met with my one and only twins. Edric and Emira who both just turned 20, looked over at me with worry. In unison they both asked, ' hey are you ok?'..

I'm fine. I say in a cold, montone voice.
Amel- they say before I cut them off, just leave me alone. I'm going out. I pick myself up from the freezing floor and ran to the door, I couldn't bear one second longer into that hell hole. I felt like I was suffocating, drowning until I got outside.

I inhaled the fresh, autumn breeze. Then sprinted off to a random direction, not caring where it would take me. I ran till my legs couldn't and I collapsed onto the ground. I look up wondering where I've ended up, only to see that I'm in an abandoned playground. I look over to the nearest thing to hide in and drown in my thoughts.

With the last bit of my strength, I push to go towards the worn out slide. It was a faded blue colour. I sat myself inside getting comfortable. Then...

The thought started flowing, the voices started to speak. I didn't wanna listen but I didn't have a choice. My mind wandered to the twins, why do they get to have freedom? It's not fair! Then the voices started to get louder and louder I couldn't hear my thoughts anymore.

Pathetic, useless, brat, hideous, monster, those words echoed into her ears. I started to feel my eyes getting wattery. ' No, I can't and won't show weakness'... But with that, I just broke into a fit of tears. All those emotions I've bottled up for years..

They finally started coming out. I stay there, having a complete break down until I feel a hand under my chin. I flinch thinking it was my mother. I heard the girl say 'are you ok'? In the lost calm and sweetest voice, that made my heart flutter. I feel a fuzzy feeling rising up to my chest. ' what is this feeling?' I wondered.

I looked up only to be met with the most sympathetic and soft eyes I have ever seen , I answer her question by softly shaking my head. I then hear her say ' do you wanna talk about it?' she asked. I think about it, Ive only met her so how do I know I can trust her? I shook my head In response. There were a few minute of comfortable silence until I decide to speak up. I wipe my tears away, I'm sorry you had to see that, Im Amelia, Amelia Blight.

' no problem, I'm Lucia, Lucia Noceda Clawthorne' I hear her say, I look up to see her holding her out to me, I shake it in response. At that moment I felt fireworks go off and my heart melting, what is this feeling? I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard her say, ' hey, do you smoke' she asks holding out a cigarette in between her two fingers now in front of me. I take it and put it to my mouth, Lucia.. I think her name was grabbing her Cigar pack, grabbing one out and lighting it.

I feel hher hand into my chin as she lifts it up and joins our cigars together. I feel a blush coming up to my face and look away. What is this I'm feeling?

Hey! Hope U enjoyed that! I'm still figuring my way in watt pad but I promise I'll be better :) THX FOR READING! See ya in nxt chap?  PEACE ✌️ ;P
