Chapter 3 Substage them

Distraught, I walk towards the bus station. I hate Bus.

After a long and tiring journey, I crawl myself into the house. Alas! The staircase looks like Everest to climb. I will die if this continues. I need my bed. I miss my sweetie, cutie, softie, only bed. Should I get married in my bed? I wish I could. Like Suga said I should have been born as a stone instead of a human. I hate Moving!!!!!

Whatever it is to me being a human or stone. Nothing will change. Sigh~

I somehow climb the Everest-like Staircase and walk towards my sister's room. I bought one extra ticket knowing that someone would join her.

However, as I step before the door. My heart skips a beat. My body freezes while tears gather around my eyes. I hear my sister and mother's conversation...

" Don't worry. She will return home soon. The interview is cancelled! He just confirmed me!" my sister said...

How did they know that my interview was cancelled when I didn't tell anyone about it?

" You did great by asking them not to let her attend the interview. She is too stupid that she believe she can get a job. Look at her. She doesn't even understand how pathetic she looks when she cries at this age. I don't know what I should do with her. Thinking about her future, I can't sleep properly. What if she destroys our reputation? I can't understand what I should do!"

I can't trust that my mother would say something like that. But what breaks me more is that my sister and mother are the reason behind my interview being cancelled. I can't trust my ears.

" So, you two are behind my interview being cancelled?"

My eyes burn, unable to comprehend that who I am looking at, are my mother and my sister. And they're behind my dream being crashing down.

" Is my dream a joke to you?"

" Ju... Julie!" My mother shudders,

" You are back? We just helped you to -" Odette smirks before talking but...

For the first time, I slapped my sister so hard that she fell on the couch with a hiss. My anger issues have always been a trouble for them. But today, it went above its limits.

" Who are you to do this to me? Who the fuck are you to cancel my interview? You fucking bitch!!!"

I jumped on her and... slapped, slapped and then slapped... My mother tried to stop me. But I don't know what kind of emotions overwhelmed within me that... At this moment, all I want to do is kill her. My body strength and the heat of my body increase rapidly.

She has stumbled upon my dream, like a joke, making a tool for her happiness...

" You damn bitch... You deserve to die!"

And as I raise my hand for another slap, a strong pull from my behind, throws me in the corner of the room. Before I could realize what just happened to me, something warm gushed out of my forehead, making my vision entirely red.

" Odette! Are you okay?" the familiar voice belongs to her fiancé. When did they come?

" OMG! What happened to her? Odette! Are you okay?"

Lots of people's voices keep banging in my eardrums as the sharp pain in my head keeps throbbing again.

A sudden electric shock in my body immediately numbs me, creating a blackout in my sight. And leaving me in no more sense.

" Seems like I can't escape from this pathetic life!"

.......

" How could you hurt your sister? What were you thinking? Are you out of mind? What didn't I give you? You almost ruined your sister's wedding" I watch my father walking back and forth, snapping at me like I made a grave mistake.

" Why- Why? Dad! Why are you confronting me? She substaged my job. Why are you talking like I would destroy her marriage? Is her Marriage so much more important than my dream? Is it?"

I asked my father who was standing before me with a dark and sour expression. My grandparents just left after blaming me for everything, my mother didn't even care about coming as she kept cursing me from downstairs.

"Do I deserve it? Dad! I agree that I hit her impulsively. But shouldn't I deserve an explanation from Mom and her? I am your blood too. I am your daughter too. Why are you two always... No everyone... Everyone neglects me. Why? Don't you feel a little bit of resentment? You don't treat me as your family. Why?" I question, my tears are unstoppable...

" Is it my fault that I don't have blonde hair, blue eyes and something like a princess like your other daughter does? It is not my fault. I didn't ask to be your daughter. If I could... I would have never chosen you as my parents. Ever, Dad. Honestly!" I sniffle, staring at my father, head highly raised. I am serious about my words. I would have never chosen them as my family.

" You-" He rubs his forehead and adds, " I am just speechless that you used violence, Julie! Nobody expected this from you. Thankfully your sister's In-laws are good people. They don't -"

" Dad-!" I stopped, inhaling sharply, knowing that they didn't even care about anything. No, I am the stupid one, I know that they're blind when it comes to my problems.

" Nevermind! Please leave!"

" I have sent the money for the tickets you bought for your sister. Treat your wound! Odette is upset."

I watch him walking out, one after one, making me the culprit here. I shouldn't have come. I regret coming home.

The pain in my head is still fresh as I didn't treat my wound. I woke up in the corner of the room, finding nobody around. All I could hear, my parents were bad-mouthing me, blaming me for my bad Temper. Her in-laws gave me a look of disgust. So, all I could do was run inside my room, with no sense of pain. But now it has increased.

" Let's pack up. It's suffocating!" I whisper to myself walking towards the closet.

However, my attention goes to my phone when lots of notifications constantly appear on my phone.

I hold the phone, remembering I forgot to call my bestie. But when I eye down the notifications and read them one after one, my heart drops, and a strong squeeze in my heart along with a lightheadedness throws me on the floor.

All of the application I applied to different companies, and all the written exams I was supposed to attend this month, and every one of them rejected my application. Even the primary applications, everything.

" Why? Why-?"

A few droplets of blood fall off my nose on my phone screen, making me mute for a few seconds. Before my eyes, I can see my dark future.

" What are you staring at?"

My eyes follow the hand which snatches the phone from me. As I raise my head, Before my eyes, my sister's Fiancé is standing, holding my phone with blood on it.

But my eyes burn, widely staring at him when the corner of his lips raise, " Whoever hurts my Lover, will face the same consequences. Since my Odette thinks you are incapable of getting a job, you don't deserve it!"

What did he just say? "He... He did?" I whisper...

" Yes. I did. For hurting her!"

I can't trust my eyes. He did to me. He destroyed the rest of my dreams that could have saved me from this unbearable hell.

" No company will accept the Name Juliette Anderson. So don't need to try hard."

His cruel words rip my heart like someone tearing a paper. His eyes are flaming with disgust, hatred and enraged hostility toward me.

" But I didn't do anything wrong..." I said, biting my lip.

" What did you say?" His sharp eyes gaze at me, staring at me like he will pierce me...

" I didn't do anything. I didn't do Anything wrong to deserve this. Do you know how much I worked hard? How fucking hard it was for me to reach this point? You Bastard!!!" I spat, wiping the tears that shed shamelessly.
