Betty's POV
Here am I again in my room crying cause my family can not go one fucking day without a fight and the worst part is that all the fights are over stupid things, why can't we just sit and talk to each other and not yell at each other.
It all started when my dad decided to buy younger sister Polly a fish.
Flashback
My mom, dad and Polly decided to go shopping and I didn't want to go cause I had a lot of work to do and 15 minutes later, Polly calls me.
P- Hey Betty um, fun story...we may or may not have bought a fish
B- You what? Y-you bought a fish?
P- I know right! I've always wanted a fish
And that was true, during the last two months she has not shut up about how "amazing" it would be if she had a fish.
P- They are so cute, I wish you were here to see
B- Am I hearing things or did you just say 'they'?
P- Oh yeah...we bought 5
B- FIVE!?!?!
P- Yeah, I don't know what their names are yet but we can do that together
B- Okay...?
P- Okay, that's all, oh and also we are coming home now
And with that she hung up, while they were on their way I finished off my work and dance to some Ariana Grande and High School Musical cause...why not. Few minutes later they came with indeed five fish and what I assumed to be the tank that they had to build.
After we had dinner it was time for my dad and Polly to make the fish tank and I followed only because Polly said that we would watch a movie afterwards so I just chilled in her room and went on Instagram. When my dad entered they started talking about boring fish stuff so I listened to music, all was well until I heard faint yelling. I took out one of my earphones and saw Polly and my dad yelling about something about a power point? My dad wanted Polly to get a power point and Polly, being Polly wanted to use the power point in her room but told her no because it's the "wrong way" to do that and Polly likes to know why instead of just doing what my dad told her to do, so she kept asking "Why? Why? Why?" and that cause my dad to get frustrated and me being in the room witnessing all this decided to leave cause I don't wanna be involved in a stupid fight.
Present
So here I am hearing my dad and Polly yell from across the hall because Polly has to know why she has to fucking get a power point instead of getting it, but no she has to keep saying "no" and "why" and of course my dad has had enough and storms out and goes to his room meanwhile Polly runs down the stairs crying.
I hear Polly talking to my mom, well when I say talking I mean arguing and it gets to a point where my mom starts yelling at Polly for not doing what dad told her to. So she gets sent to her room and out of no where my dad comes in my room.
"Hey Betty, Polly needs help with her fish tank." he whispers to me.
I get up knowing that she is just crying on her bed so she doesn't "need help" but I for one hate seeing the people I love cry, I feel like I should do something to fix it so I plan to do just that. I open Polly's door and as I suspected she is crying on her bed.
Without saying anything, I sit next to across from her on her bed.
"I just wanted to know why, I don't know what I did wrong!" She cry-yelled. This broke my heart because me and Polly are really close. So I try to calm her down.
