The Elevator

She knew...

She spits out her words like it's some kind of poison. She knew I'd read the mania. She returns to the couch and continues reading her novel while I cry and bleed my guts.

In five minutes, I'm done. I was in danger here! I ran back into the room and closed the door well by securing it. Until noon, I didn't move an inch from here. I was once again lying in this bed. I spent all the time looking at the roof before I heard clearly that Nadia was here, too.

I removed the chair I secured the door before and I'm making my presence felt in the room.

Nadia: Erica? How are you feeling?

I don't know.

Erica: I think I'm better.

Myrto: She spent all the time locked in the room.

Nadia: Really?! You didn't want to go out at all?

Erica: I was just tired..

Nadia: Are you sure you're better?

Disbelief in her voice. <Just because your family is broken doesn't mean it's mine.>

Erica: Yes, don't worry about me. Tell me how school went, did you finally tell them I was unwell?

Nadia: Yes, and they believed me, don't worry, they know how diligent you are.

She quickly shuts down the intercalary issue I opened up by bringing her concerns back to light.

Nadia: Is Dad here?

Myrto: Yes, in his room, do you want me to call him?

Nadia: Yes, we left something in the middle this morning..

She began to remove her coat and bag to get in harmony with a more relaxed outfit for inside the house with the only unique accessories be the slippers.

Soon Mr. Jason and Myrto are on the couch, Orpheus as eternally late is gone.

Nadia: Dad.. Like I told you this morning, Orpheus was recently dating a girl who was mistreating him.

Stress fills both of them.

Nadia: One day she even slapped him so hard that she left him with a big bruise on his cheek. He managed to hide it from you since you were upset about mom, but Erica and I noticed and confided in us what happened.

Stress and anticipation gave way to willingness.

They were arranged to help as always happened to the family. Their sweet nature could not be hidden and that for their members they would do anything and punish anyone who dared to insult or harm them.Characteristics that, fortunately or unfortunately, Nadia has inherited.

They're deeply etched into her DNA. After a short conversation, Mr. Jason mentioned the measures he would take, and I can say that his kind and direct approach was entirely in agreement with me. All my concerns have been eliminated.

Jason: And after we've solved this, I think I'm going to go get you some food, you must be very hungry.

Nadia: Yes.. Oh, and Dad! Get a new taste, we're fed up with the same thing all the time.

He nods and closes the door behind him. Orpheus almost returns with his father and we all sit down to eat together. Despite Nadia's desire, her father remained attached to the same taste. Without being particularly concerned about this, since it was delicious, we filled our stomachs and headed to our rooms.I took the lost lessons from her and we started working.
