Bleed My Love

Chapter 4

  It was on a random day and I don't know what happened but my dad came from the office in an aggressive mood when we were having lunch, Lisa decided to turn his anger towards me saying,
"Sweetheart shut off the lights of your room when you go outside, you don't know how much bill comes and yesterday you were so rude to my mother, she took offense I mean how much I am trying for you is resulting in nothing, I just want you to behave like a lady."

The atmosphere became suffocated, I knew whatever I reply will consider it invalid.

Lisa, I am sorry I forgot to turn the lights today, but I never misbehaved with Mrs. Felicia, what answer should I had given to her when she said I should be thankful that her daughter is being generous to let me live in her home, I mean did I ever demand or misbehaved with you?
I am living in my father's home, why does your family make me feel I did not deserve my father's love and care."

As expected Dad said," Belle I know after your mother's death, you feel neglected but this does not mean you should be unthankful to things that are coming your way, I made sure you had everything you needed, Lisa here is trying to fill the gap of motherhood for you,why you have to be so negative about things, you should have ignored Felicia, but no Anabelle does not know when to speak rational, you just had to create rift."

I knew that situation was escalating like Lisa wanted, I tried to calmly say,
Dad, please you are not understa...!
He shouted,"Just shut up Anna, now you will make understand your Dad? like he is an idiot?! get out of my sight, I am sick for trying for an ungrateful child."

I looked at Lisa, she looked sympathetic, I moved hurriedly from the dining room and made my way to my room and made sure to lock it.
"Why mom, why you had to leave can't you see how much I missed you."
That night I cried burying my face in the pillow to mute my sobs.
