Crystalline Nicole Quinn, the step daughter of Giovanni and Louisa Quinn. She has secrets that she never tell anyone. Her heart is surrounded by big walls that she promises will never open for someone or so she thought. One day, her personal lawyer...
Crystalline's POV I open my eyes startled when my mother barges into my room. "what happened? Is something wrong?" I ask worried. Did she already know about dad and Maddy?
"I want to tell you about the ball that will happen, 1 week from now" I feel relive that it's not something bad but disappointed that she still didn't find out about it. "I want you to buy a gown for your sister and yourself but make your sister's gown more beautiful than yours" Ouch! That hurts! I still nodded even though deep down I'm hurt. "Okay that's all, bye" with that she walks out of my room.
I sigh and stand up to get ready for school, I wear a black top and black and white cami pants. I pair it with a black rubber shoes.

I look at myself at the mirror, when I'm satisfied, I go downstairs and went straight out. I'll just pick something from Starbucks.
I drive my car to school after picking up a coffee. When I enter the school, I went straight to my locker. Maddy is still at the house and I'm glad she is because I'm not gonna worry about her until lunch.
I walk to my first period which is English and sit at the back. After 10 minutes everyone is already here. I look at the door and watch as our professor walk in. "We're having a surprise recitation!" All of them groan but it's fine for me. All I'm gonna say is this is gonna be a boring one.
Lunch time I'm on the line waiting for my turn to get food, when it's my turn I buy a hamburger, fries and ice tea.
I sit at my everyday table at the back and mind my own business but someone have to disturb it.
Someone spill a drink on me, I stand up and look at who cause it. It's non other than my sister, Maddy. "Oops, I thought you're a trash can" I glare at her and talk back, "well you thought wrong!"
She grab my hair and pull me down, "now, you're talking back?! Know where you are, you are below me and I am the queen that you should respect"
"Respect is earned plus you don't deserve my respect, so fuck you!" I had enough! I stand up and slap her, "you don't own me!"
She slap me then I grab her hair and pull her down, just then one of the teachers saw us and shout at me. "Office now! And Ms. Maddy, go to the clinic" I glare at her and I see her smirk before standing up to go to the office.
I knock before entering then sit at the front of his desk. "I heard what happened, why did you do that to our cheer captain? This may result to her not performing for the school's intramural, 2 days from now!" I roll my eyes, see? she's the favorite!
"I will call your parents about this" please! They will just go here for Maddy and probably scold me. After 30 minutes, they barged in and glare at me. "Why did you do that?"
I stand up and tried explaining, "it's her fault, she spilled her drink on me and then she-" they cut me off, "now you're reasoning?! Go home, I don't want to see you now. You're making me mad" I close the door harshly and walk out of the school.
Why can't they listen to me?! Why?! I'm their daughter too, not only her! I drive away from school but I don't want to go home, I drive to my secret spot. It's in the forest and when you reach the clearing you will see a mountain that overlook the city.
That's the only place I feel safe and free. When I arrive, I park my car and walk for 3 miles.
After 30 minutes of walking, I reach the end. I sat down and cry, "WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? DID I DO ANYTHING WRONG?" I shout all my frustration and anger until I get tired.
After an hour, I walk back and drive back home. I know I look ugly and red from all that but I don't care. I park my car and go straight to my room.
I clean myself up and just rest but someone barge in, "we need to talk" my parents began. I sit up and face them with my poker face, "look, if it's about what happened earlier...it's not my fault. She did it first"
"Even though she did it first you should have been patient with her" I scoff and look at her with my what the fuck are you saying face, "Mom, patience? No matter what happened, I'm always patient to her. Even though she bullied me, tease me or blame me" I stand up and snapped at them. I've been patient about everything but I think it's enough I have to stand up for myself.
"If you don't believe me, just get out of my room!" I pushed them out and lock the door. Ugh! Why can't I have a different family that will love me.
I lay on my bed and look up the ceiling until I fell asleep.
I'm sure a lot of older siblings can relate to this, because I do.
Anyways! I hope you like the chapter, have a nice day and love lots!😘💜
