★ Family Line - Conan Gray

I run until I get home. I hold back my tears the whole way. I blame myself so much... Luz didn't do anything, she's the nicest person in the world and I don't even know why I reacted like that... It would be very selfish, but maybe I'm jealous of her, and I just...envy her personality.

I sigh. Emira is waiting for me, sitting on the stairs.

"Ah, there you are ! Just in time, Mum's coming home. We sent her to the store as far away from the house as possible and-"

"Mittens !!" Edric shouts, running towards me." How was your date ??"

"Fine" I answer. "I'm going to my room."

As I put my hand on the doorknob, Em grabs my wrist (author's note : everyone grabs her by the hand, sleeve or wrist all the time x) ). I pull away to lock myself in my room, but she puts a foot in the doorway.

"Emira, seriously, I just want to be-"

"There's no way we're leaving our little sister sad after a failed date. We've been there. So now, I'm requesting a Blight siblings meeting in our room. No discussion possible."

I open my mouth to protest, close it. I don't have the strength to say anything.

My sister sits down next to me on her bed, Edric gets on the carpet.

"So, tell us Mittens, what happened ?" she asks."If that Luz was mean to you I swear that- Ouch, Emira !"

Em kicked him in the shin.

"Let her talk."

I look at them from one to the other, I don't know where to start. I take a deep breath, and say :

"It's all my fault. I... I left after talking badly to her, when she didn't do anything at all, it's just that... I think love isn't for me. I know I'm only fourteen but... Mom must be right. If I want to stay perfect and take over Blight Companies, I can't afford to be distracted-"

"But is that what you really want ?" Emira cuts me off.

I keep quiet. Luz asked me the same question. I sigh, without answering.

"Mom always wants to control us, so that we have a 'bright' future" says my brother. "Before you were born, she did the same to us. But we were too great for her !"

"No, it's just that no matter how much she scolded us, we continued being dumb" retorts Emira. "So, she took it out on you, Amity. But you don't have to listen to her. You're not here just to do what mom wants you to do. You can also decide what you want to do, you."

"What if I don't know what I want to do ?" I say in a small voice.

"You have time to decide !" replies Edric. "Look, I still don't know what I want to do at 16 and I'm doing very well !" 

"Ed isn't necessarily an example to follow" replies Em "but it's true that you have time to think about it."

I nod.

"Thanks for being there for me, you two. Really, if you weren't here, I don't know what I would do, alone with Mom."

"Finally, you recognize how incredible we are !!" exclaims my brother, ruffling my hair - again.

Emira laughs, and gets up. She takes a brush and some green dye out of the dresser drawer.

"Your roots are showing" she says. "Do you want me to redye your hair ?"
