What Are You Afraid Of?

IV

I walk into his, I mean our room. He was sitting on the bottom bunk and looked up at me annoyed "What?" He spoke up, quite rudely too. "Dinner." I wanted to roll my eyes so bad but I had to be nice. Anyway he did it for me instead. "Not interested." I frown slightly annoyed. Maybe it's from the lack of manners that deeply irritated me, if I ever acted like this with grandma?...I probably wouldn't, she's dead anyway. I sigh "Well you should it's our first dinner here. The least you could do is eat with us."
He glares at me, quite obviously annoyed.

"Just cause your daddy knows my mom doesn't make us anything."
"It shouldn't but the least we could do is try."
He scoffs "Leave."
I narrow my eyes staying in my place momentarily so he doesn't think I'm just going to listen to his orders... That or I'm just being petty. I eventually walk out the door rushing back to the living room, where I saw Giselle. "Where's Finn?"
"He decided to stay in his room."
She stared at me slightly disappointed and unfortunately I kinda felt bad. "I'll try to convince him..."
"Really? Thank you."
"Yeah, anytime." I walk back, this time determined. He looked up at me. "Listen sweeth-" I grab his hand pulling him out "It's Benoite." And I push him I'm the couch. He stared at me stunned not being able to speak as Giselle smiles happily. "Well I'm glad you decided to come out for dinner."
My dad walks in "Oh Phineas, thought you wouldn't come.." Giselle stares at my dad intensely, telling him to stop and he nervously sits down. Once my dad sat on the neighboring armchair the realization hit me like a truck. I literally have no where to sit. "Oh here's your plate kiddo" my dad hands me two slices on the marble plate I had previously dished up on. "Um sorry to complain dad, but I put 3 slices on my plate?" Giselle and dad glance at each other, obviously knowing I would say something about this.
"Don't be greedy, now there's a tomorrow." Giselle responds. Wow okay? I don't respond as I just sit on the mat. What a horrible experience.

Dad switches on the tv and channels through... I wait patiently for something interesting when I notice they're all repeating. Wait.. There's literally only three stations. Dad glanced at me, almost begging for my forgiveness. Why? Cause not on any channel does our show play. I was furious and he could notice, honestly it's not like I scrunch up face and grumble angrily. No. I just narrow my eyes, so it's obvious those two wouldn't notice that I was mad. He stopped at the news channel, which I obviously ignored.

I glanced at my plate, I ate everything this quickly? It's fine I guess I stand up as Giselle doesn't hesitate to speak up. "Hey dearest could you wash these dishes?" Finn smirked at me. Happy he doesn't have to do them. I take a deep breath as I take all their dishes and walk to the sink. Gosh this sucks. Once I was done I notice that Phineas had left. I look at the clock, 22:34. God already? I end up leaving to the bedroom and walk in. "Hey I need to change, could you step outside?" I say once I spotted him fidgeting with his skate wheels. "Yeah, sure" he stood up and left. I change quite quickly knocking on the door gesturing him to come in. He does. I get in the top bunk covering myself with my blanket, some of the only things that reminded me of home. I shut my eyes falling into the deep abyss of darkness, basically sleep.
