My soup suddenly felt cold. Evan seemed interested in the chicken inside suddenly.
"Look. Sorry. It's not like you guys care even if we die. You guys seem so busy with work all the time."
I immediately bit my tongue and wished I had never left out the curt response. It came out of anger. Ever since we moved to Los Angeles, our parents seem more into work. Mum wanted to be closer to Hollywood. She was an actress. Only in advertisements and dramas but now directors want her for movies. Her cute little dimple and beautiful eyes which danced in the light. Everyone thought she was a knock-out.
And Dad? He loves acting too. With Mum. They have sworn to only act together. I was happy and all but soon the attention turned unnecessary. That's why I turned down the fancy lifestyle my mom offered. Maybe that was why I never really hated instant noodles. A normal family would eat that. Not fancy turkey on weekends and caramel vanilla pudding for dessert.
I had left out a blast and ever since then, they make our lifestyles as boring as possible. Which was great. But we hardly spend time together.
"Edith Melissa Stoll. We talked about this."
"SO?NOT LIKE YOU CHANGED MUCH!"
"GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!"
I stormed off leaving Evan with a melancholic look. He was never brave enough to admit he wanted to spend time. He was just too chicken. Too scared he never supported me and stared at me like a lost duck.
Ugh! That moron! He doesn't know the way of justice. not only doing yoga would help you!
I was angry at everyone in the house.
Nippa came to my feet. I looked away from my dog with a humph.
Nope. I was angry at every single living thing in this house right now.
I lay my head on the bed and crashed to sleep.
