Legacy

Chapter 31

Addy heard Beca brake down from upstairs. She heard Beca choke on her own tears as she tried to keep them down. Addy changed her clothes and sat at the top of the stairs until she heard Beca stop crying. She grabbed her Laptop and went downstairs.

Beca has managed to make some toast and stick it on a plate. Beca hadn't made eye contract with Addy since she came down and the. Went to go sit in the home cinema room. Addy picked at the toast and looked at her laptop. She needed to change if she was going to survive this now. Well, she can't speak about it she can't be the same person she was before. She needed to get a life, a life that wasn't hers.

Stacie walked in and walked straight to Beca. It amazed Addy that Stacie knew where Beca was but Stacie being controlling as she was she was probably texting Beca to make sure she was actually doing something useful. After about 5 minutes of whispering Stacie emerged from the clearly slighted heated conversation that went on. Stacie looked like she was irritated and annoyed which clearly she was. 

"Addy eat the toast and stop picking at it." Stacie said as she walked past Addy without making eye contact.

"I'm not hungry..." 

"I don't care. Eat the damn toast. By the time I get finished cleaning your room you better have eaten it. Or god help me, I'll..." Stacie stopped knowing she just took her anger out on the wrong person. Addy just happened to be easy to take out her anger on her as her personality wasn't as defensive as Beca, so it was easy to let her anger out on her. Addy knew this. Addy knew if she was now going to survive she would have to change her personality if she was going to survive.

"You'll what..." Addy said, Addy looked at Stacie who hadn't looked at Addy.

"I'll nothing. Just please eat."  Stacie said going to leave the room and go upstairs. Addy now knows she needs to change her attitude. She needs to change how people see her. She needed to be like Stacie,who exerted power, Beca, who no one messed with. People knew not to mess with them, they had power and confidence which no one wanted to disagree with. Addy needed to be like them, both of them.  She needed to change her wardrobe, she began looking for clothes and make up on the internet. She went through website after website looking at clothes that screamed the look that she wanted. She was sorting out clothes that would go together. Her basket was filling up with hundreds of dollars being spent. More clothes more money. THe clothes weren't cheep because to Addy that was the look she was going with. She smiled at clicked order. As the screen flicked to the words order complete, she then took a big bite of her toast.
