Everlasting

Chapter Three

"That devil child is lying and she should punished and to prove it, she slapped me for no reason." Victoria yelled at my dad while at me, then she pointed to her cheek, but there was nothing there.

My dad look at me with a look that said 'is this true?' I shook my head no, but ugly Victoria over there has to yell at me for lying again.

"That girl is lying and you know it!" Victoria yells at my step-father. She was looking at me with fear ridden eyes but you can still see the seething anger behind the fear. She knows that she won't be able to win, but she still tries.

I look at her and then at my step-father. I start to cry for some reason. I have no reason to cry, I'm strong and I know this, yet I am. I guess the sudden feeling of pity and sorrow had taken over. I run out the library and go to my room. Tears have taken over my face by now and carried the blood further down my face onto my neck.

I enter my room and fall on my bed staining the sheets and pillows. I wailed for hours, at least that's what it felt like,and slowly I began to drift asleep.

It had been days since the incident with Victoria. I haven't left my room and I've barely eaten, thinking about the horrible woman my step-father has fallen in love with. Today I decided that I would come out of my room, instant regret hit me as I open my enormous doors.

"You look so beautiful babe, probably the most beautiful in the land!" I hear my step-father say with a woman's giggle right after

"Oh baby, you know that I love you and only you," my step-father says with his hands all over Victoria.

That little bitch. I... uurrrghh... I can't with this anymore. I was mad and disgusted. My eyes were an ivory green with speckles of red, they shone so bright you could have been blinded. The hatred I felt for this so called 'home' I was in made me what to cringe. I walked past the people I hated the most, but to no avail. My step-father and stopped putting his grody hands all over that little buttmunch with her ugly face.

"Where are you going missy?" Step-father had looked into my eyes with a cold glare. I shivered and continued to walk past them, trying to ignore what they were previously doing and what they were probably going to do.

"Your father is talking to you! You should have more respect!" Victoria yelled at me. She had that same look in her eyes as she did that day when she tried to make me move all my stuff to the smallest bedroom in the house.

"Why?" I simply said, my eyes had turn back to lilac, but they had speckles of brown, red, and green. You could tell i was not in the mood.

"What?" Victoria was taken aback by my answer, "Answer me child! You are nothing but a spoiled brat. You don't deserve to be your father's daughter or mine!" she yelled at me. Now I was mad. You see I as just going to walk past them, but no, they just had to talk to me. More like yell at me.

"Why?" I said angrier than the last reply.

"Stop. Just stop." Victoria said. Like she has the power in this house. " I'm sick and tired of the stupid replies."

Your the stupid one. I think.

"Tell me Lily." Step-father finally speaks "tell me why you're acting like this."

I scoff, "You know why I'm acting like this? It's because this little ungrateful ugly witch ass bitch can't keep her fucking mouth shut!" My body was hot from the amount of anger that I had. My eyes a deep agonizing crimson ready for the kill. I walk out the door making sure to slam it as hard as I could not caring about anything at that moment.

Timeskip

"You okay?" Gray asked me as I walk up to him, my eyes returned to their normal shade but he could still tell something was off. I had this menacing aura coming off of me and he could tell I was sheathing with anger. I'm okay, is what I want to say but the complete opposite comes out.

"It's Victoria and my step-father!! They're always doing something to annoy an piss me off!" my eyes turn to a nice soothing red that would indicate I will punch you in the face at the first chance I got.I chuckle a little bit thinking about the both of them getting punched in the face by me.

Gray had seen how angry I was and how much damage I wanted to do, " I'm sorry Lily, I know this isn't my fault, but somehow I feel as though I have something to do with it"

I laughed so hard. All I could do was laugh in that moment. I was in a hysterical fit. I thought about how he had said sorry when it wasn't even his fault, then I thought about the ugly faced Victoria and then Step-father. I would have punched them and laughed in their faces. Saying I was way better than them. I was out of it like something had taken over my body. I was laughing so hard that I fell to the ground.

Gray stood there stunned, but when I fell to the floor he quickly went to catch me. He did and he tried to put sense back into me. It didn't work and I kept laughing. He didn't know what to do. I didn't either. But, I keep laughing. Soon after my stomach had started to hurt from the laughing but that wasn't the only thing hurting. My heart was hurting as I began thinking about my mother, the laughter instantly turned into a childish wail.

"Lily! Why are you crying?" Gray had said embracing me into his arms. I cry harder after feeling the well needed comfort. It had been 10 years since my mother died, we had the sweetest memories together.

Flashback

"Mommy! Can you push me! " young Lily said smiling wide. She was on the swing of her favorite park, her mother had taken her to this park every weekend. Her mother walked up to the swing and began to push her "WEEEE!!" young Lily said enjoying her time. Just then her step-father arrived.

"Hey, it's time to go" He said very plain then, walked away without another word.

My mother looked at me and then looked back at step-father.

"Honey, we have to get going home now" The mother said in a sweet tone. I was too little to understand what was happening.I jumped off the swing and ran up to my mother. " Mommy, why do we have to leave?" Young Lily says "We just got here" The mother looked down to her daughter. "I'm sorry Lily, I didn't mean for this to happen" Young Lily didn't understand what her mother was apologizing about but continued on her merry way.
