delcroix heirs' academy ✔ chapter seven

axelle charlotte hudson.

"Young lady Axelle, you can now enter your father's office," sabi nung butler, at ngumiti ako bago niya ako pagbuksan ng pinto.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero ipinatawag ako ng daddy ko sa office niya para daw na kausapin about something important.

Ano kaya ang something na 'yun? I don't know if I did something wrong, pero every time na ipapatawag ako sa office ni daddy ay kinakabahan ako.

My father told me when I was in fifth grade na me being the heiress was at stake because I was getting a bit weaker than my younger sister in the means of talents. At simula noon ay nararamdaman ko na ang pressure.

Bilang mas nakatatandang kapatid ay malamang na masakit para sa akin na ang magiging heiress ay si Axen, ang kapatid ko, kung sakali na iyon ang nais na pag-usapan ng aking ama.

I am so damn scared na hindi ko narealise na kinakausap na pala ako ni daddy kung hindi pa siya nag-snap ng fingers in front of me.

"I'm sorry, father. What was it?" Sabi ko, and then he sent me a stiff smile.

"Sit down," he said, and then I sat down.

He then intertwined his fingers, and then looked at me as if he was some type of doctor telling his patient that he has cancer. Cautiously, and seryoso.

"Your sister is gaining more attention from the elementary campus of Delcroix, Axelle. Her teachers think she's exceptional. I'm afraid she's getting more talented than you are. She's one step closer, Axelle. Please do your best. You've abandoned painting. I heard from someone that you've only made three artworks last week," daddy said, and I looked down.

"Yes, daddy. I will try harder. Excuse me," sabi ko, and then went out of his office after closing the door.

Once I was outside, not bothering to walk a few more steps away, I let my tears slip away. I worked hard since I was in elementary to be fitting for the heiress title, and it hurts me na sa isang iglap lang ay malalagpasan na ako ni Axen.

Nagsilingunan palayo sa akin ang mga maids, at patakbo nalang akong umakyat sa kwarto ko. But on my way, nakasalubong ko si Axen na may hawak na sachertorte.

Inilapag niya ito sa nearby small table, at niyakap ako. I cried harder, not caring kahit na siya ang dahilan kung bakit ako nasasaktan ngayon.

Hindi naman niya kasalanan na matalino at talented siya, eh. I'm proud of my sister, so much, pero kapag nanggaling sa mga magulang namin na nalalagpasan na niya ako at pinagcocompare kami ay nasasaktan talaga ako.

"What's wrong, ate?" Tanong ni Axen, habang yakap pa ako. I just hugged her tighter before answering.

"Nothing's wrong, baby. Ate is so proud of you. Do better in school, okay?" Sabi ko, and then she hugged me tighter.

"Yes, ate. If it gets you proud of me, I will," Sabi niya, and then she let go. "I have to go do my homework ate. Stop crying na."

I just nodded, before going to my room and locking the door.

As soon as the door closed, I let my tears fall without worries because my room is sound proof.

Maybe that's why no one hears me pleading to God so he could help me.

"Miss Gabrielle, I'm sorry but Mr. Kane says that he are busy. He can't talk to anyone right now," sabi nung isang maid.

I looked down, before nodding. Lagi nilang hindi ako kinakausap. Sure, we have a huge home, pero mas pipiliin ko na ang maliit na bahay na magkakasama kami kaysa malaking bahay na wala na kaming oras para makasama ang isa't isa.

I sighed, and then went to my room. Pagkasara ng pinto ay binuksan ko ang television ko para mawala sa isipan ko ang family thingies ko.

I watched Adventure Time, my childhood favourite cartoon, and then didn't mind the tear that slipped from my eye.

Hindi ko na pinansin ang mga scripts na ilang araw kong pinagtuunan ng pansin para lamang ipabasa sa parents ko so they could tell me I did a good job kahit na ngayon lang.

I smiled bitterly. Hindi ko pa kahit na isang beses na narinig na sabihin nilang magaling ang mga ginawa ko.

"Come along with me
With the butterflies and bees
We can wonder through the forest
And do so as we please,"

Tumutugtog ang ending song ng Adventure Time, and I laid down to look at the ceiling. Nilipat ko na ang channel na pinapanood ko, at napadpad ako sa E!

My parents are well known actors and directors internationally, pero wala namang silbi dahil wala na silang time para sa akin.

Nang marinig ko ang pangalan ng mga magulang ko sa news, biglang nagperk up ang ears ko para pakinggan kung ano man iyon.

"Gabriel Kane and Stephanie Kane, talking about divorce after Stephanie went away for a year to film,"

I blinked my eyes rapidly. Anong mayroon? Bakit hindi nila sinasabi sa akin? Bakit sa news ko pa malalaman?

I then went out of my room to go to my father's office, at wala na akong pakialam kung disrespect ba ang aking gagawin dahil hindi siya tumatanggap ng bisita ngayon.

Nadaanan ko ang ibang maids, pero mukhang ayaw nilang humarang kaya they moved away.

Ang hirap pala ng hindi rin kinakausap ng mga magulang. I don't even think that they know me or vise versa.

Once I reached my father's door, I breathed in deeply before opening the door with closed eyes.

I heard a gasp, before opening my eyes to see what was in there that made whoever it was gasp.

I saw my father screwing some super model on his desk with papers flying away everywhere.

I couldn't help but scream, before slamming the door and running away.

Is this what you call a family?

I'm sorry, but I don't think I still want to be in this family.

Without reaching my room because I couldn't contain it anymore, I slid down the wall and let myself erupt into sobs.

I thought my parents were just busy with work.

Turns out they were busy reconstructing their lives with someone else.

What did I do to deserve this?
