Adelina's POV

"He's always on that phone." Mom said looking at me and shaking her head. I look at my father in the living room sitting on the couch and chatting with someone on a phone. I let out a sigh, ever since my father was the head of the company he had no time for me or my mom. They were distant and it was just hard for us. He put his business first before us.

"Mom...do you think that he's putting business before us." I soon say and looked back at my mom. She shrugs her shoulders and I could tell she was sad. Her eyes were showing it all.

"Sweetie, how about you go get some groceries from the store. I'll text you what I need." She said dodging my question. I rolled my eyes but nodded.

"Yeah, okay. I'll be back." I get off the chair and walk out of the kitchen and into the living room. Grabbing my shoes and coat, I glance at my dad. He's still talking on the phone and he didn't notice me. "Bye, dad," I said loud and clear for him to hear me.

"Huh?" Dad says, "Yeah. Whatever bye." He continues talking on the phone and it felt like my heart was in pain. I started putting my shoes on and coat. I grab the doorknob and turned it, opening the front door. I step outside and closed the door behind me. I started walking on the sidewalk. I don't need a car right now I'm too lazy to drive.

I kept walking and looking down thinking.

My sister is the queen of the house. Yeah, she always gets what she wants and I get nothing but I'm fine with it. Almira Woods which is my sister's name. Obviously, she treats me like her slave. I guess you can say I'm the new Cinderella. She told me she was forced into marrying someone but that wasn't my business so I didn't really care. I'm happy that she gets to marry someone so I won't have to see her. My father was talking to her about it in his office. I eavesdropped but it was worth it, okay. Almira didn't want to marry anyone so she locked herself in her room crying all day and night. I'm so happy that I'm not in her place right now. It must suck to be her right now.

Anyways, my mom is suffering from lung cancer. She smoked and I'm scared for her. But she quit smoking or at least that is what she tells me. I'm afraid that my mom will die at night that's why it's hard for me to sleep. I don't want to see her in a bed already dead. She's the best mom ever and I don't want her to die right in front of my eyes. My dad doesn't know about my mom's lung cancer and she told me never to tell him about it. I think my mom will survive and I hope she does.

Then there's me. The one with a job and works my ass off every single day. The one who doesn't need any help from no one. Yeah, I'm just like Via from Wonder. I work in a cafe and make coffee for people. The weird thing is...I've never tried coffee. Anyways, I guess you can say I'm invisible to my family and anyone. Lot's of things happened to me back then and it still haunts me. My grandma died and I loved her so, so, so, much. She meant everything to me and once I saw her in that casket...I just lost it. It felt like I lost apart of my life when she died. And I'll always have her in my heart.

I raised my eyes to look at the groceries store. I felt a warm tear rolling down my cheek and I wiped it off. I sniffed a bit but I kept my head up and tried to control my emotions. I walked to the store and entered it. It was warm inside and I looked at the people coming in and out.
