A Thorn in My Side(The Owl House Oc Story)

The fight

Renae's POV
(Short Chapter)

I adjusted my button up. Today we were meeting with Rosie's parents so I had to look good. The acid rain had passed over the night last night.

"And I can't come why?" I poked my head outside of my room and slipped to Bristle's room. Her door was open. I looked inside. Bristle was fixing her makeup and Hope was behind her.

"Hope. This doesn't include you. It includes my family." Bristle said, not taking her eyes off her mirror as she did her eyeliner.

"Renae isn't even your true family! She was adopt-" before Hope could finish there was a aloud smack sound.

I stared as Hope reached up to her face where Bristle just smacked her, "HOW DARE YOU! AFTER WHAT SHE DID TO HELP YOU AT CHARLES DAY YOU STILL TALK ABOUT HER LIKE SHES NOT PUR FRIEND!" Bristle growled, "get out of my house now!" She shouted, "I'll talk to you later." She said, her voice toned down a bit. "I don't have the energy to talk to someone who's going to talk down about my sister like that."

Hope's ears fell flat and her tail drooped, but she didn't argue. She started to the door. I panicked and rushed to my room, shutting the door behind me. My mind was swirling. Bristle just slapped the hell out of Hope. Then Hope's comment about me popped back to mind... "Renae isn't even your true family! She was adopted...." That stung a bit. I know Hope and I are similar yet very different, and we're trying to get along but still.. it hurt even if she didn't mean it to be mean...

I took a deep breath and started to my drawers and started on the little makeup I wore. Which was only eyeliner, but still makeup is makeup.

My door opened and I could see in the mirror it was Bristle. I decided not to mention the fight between her and Hope.

We were quiet for a few moments before Bristle spoke, "I assume you heard the fight?"

I put my eyeliner don't and nodded, "it was kinda hard to ignore.. What happened?"

Bristle shook her head, "Hope was just being a jerk. And she said something that led to me slapping her."

A quiet sigh escaped my mouth, "Hope is a difficult person to understand."

"And you'd think after all this time I would know her by now. She just surprises me every day.." Bristle sighed, "you and Rosie seem to be so happy and they're is barley any surprises!"

I looked at the mirror, "I wouldn't say that, everyone seems to forget me and her hated Each other. And who knows how we will work together when we are married..." I looked down at my feet.

Bristle was silent. I looked back over to my sister. She opened her mouth to say something before our parents came in.

"Girls. You ready to go?" Mom asked a big smile on her face.

I turned back the the mirror grabbing my eyeliner pen. "Yea. Let me just finish my eyeliner." I said leaning close to the mirror.

I could see Mom nod in the mirror. Me and Bristle stayed silent as I finished my eyeliner. We started to the stairs. We talked about common stuff and such.

It didn't take to long to get to the restaurant. We entered and sat down. Soon Rosie and her parents joined us.. I noted that Caroline wasn't there.

The parents talked, while me and Rosie teased eachother and talked with Bristle.

Dad's face fell serious, "I mean. It's not really up to us.. It's up to Renae."

I perked up at my name and turned to my parents and Rosie's parents. "Hmm?" I hummed.

Rosie's mom, Mrs.Aarons, turned to me. "Well we were talking about you and Rosie getting married early. If not we understand. But we just need to know. It's up to you if you wanna get married early.."
