Love That Hurts

Love that hurts: Chapter 15

-Gabriella’s POV:-

“So it’s been so long since the incident with her family happened and yet she’s still here? Living off you guys freely? Does she not have any morals or manners? Well then again she doesn’t have parents to tell her otherwise but still? What the hell is she even still doing here?”

I look over at this…species and squint my eyes.

But she continues.

“Like okay you guys took this burden in but it doesn’t mean she should take advantage. Like seriously she’s living off you guys freely and she doesn’t even contribute to the house as aunt Helen earlier said! She could at least pay her way or at least work around the house or something!”

By now she was pacing the room and giving me dirty looks and huffing.

But its time I stand up for myself.

I’m sick of being treated like this.

I’m sick of staying quiet.

“Listen here Anna-May! Yeah I’m still here and what? That doesn’t give you the right to judge or make remarks like that. And who are you to say things regarding my parents not being here? And despite you having parents, I can’t see the ‘morals and manners’ they’ve taught you because of the way you’re behaving. And you know what? You know my name and not my story, so I sugg-”

I’m cut off by Daniel who’s looking at me fumingly.

“I suggest you stop right there Gabriella! Go any further and I’ll show you the door. So I’d stop speaking”

I look at Daniel flabbergasted and feel my cheeks heat up before going to speak again but I’m cut off by Anna-May.

“He’s right. Don’t you dare go any further. Otherwise not only will you have Daniel at your throat, you’ll have me and the rest of MY family. Because don’t forget, ‘your own are your own’ and you are not one of us. So stop acting as if you are”

She smirks at me before giving me a dirty look.

I look at Daniel and see him looking at me annoyed.

I turn to look at Helen who’s looking down disappointedly.

Lastly I turn to look at Troy.

Who’s avoiding even looking at me.

“I see how it is then. If you’ll excuse m-“

I’m cut off again by Anna-May.

“You’re excused”

Taking a deep breath, I leave the room and walk upstairs to my given room.
