her past.

15 year old Eleanor cried and sobbed.

With her parents pressure and with her anxiety, she couldn't focus not study.

So she got a D- for her English exam.

She knew the consequences that would come.

So as her driver picked her up she cowered away.

Eleanor feared her family and it didn't help that they put so much pressure into this.

She wanted to tell them off, to run away and never see them again.

But she didn't and acted obedient, in fear of the consequences.

Once she arrived home, Eleanor took a deep breath.

Her brother, Nicholas, wasn't home yet, as he asked for a seperate driver, not wanting to be seen with his sister, fearing embarrassment.

She looked around the living room, only the maids were found.

Eleanor pitied the maids, dealing with Nicholas' parties, not being paid enough and always having to deal with the constant remarks the parents make daily.

And just when she thought her parents weren't home, her so called mother entered the room.

Her mother looked at Eleanor as if she was a pile of trash, which she constantly reminded Eleanor of.

"Oh, you're home," She sneered.

"Good afternoo-" Eleanor softly smiled, ignoring the glare her mother looked at her with.

"How was your English exam?"

"You should have aced it, since it it your talent," She spoke, the end with bitterness, dissatisfaction and disappointment.

"Uh."

Rose rolled her eyes.

"Hurry up. I don't like waiting," She spoke, annoyed.

Rose looked to her watch and gasped.

"I'm late because of you," She glared.

"If you don't tell me when I'm back, you know your consequences."

Eleanor breath hitched.

Terrified.

As Rose ran away, the maids sadly smiled at Eleanor.

No child should ever be treated like this.

Rose slapped Eleanor.

The slap was heard throughout the mansion.

"You dirty witch," Rose screamed, pointing her finger to a fearful Eleanor.

"How dare you! How dare you fail!"

"I-I couldn't handle your pressur-"

"So your blaming us now?"

"How disrespectful can you be!" She screeched.

Rose slapped Eleanor once more.

"I-I'm sorry," Eleanor cried.

"Sorry means nothing compared to your disgusting antics!"

"You dirty slut! It's that Cunning's kid isn't it! Stop spreading your legs to every man you meet!"

Eleanor widened her eyes.

"Why can't you be interesting."

Rose continued shouting, slapping and pulling her hair.

She cried and cried hoping it would end.

"You're so damn boring!"

And with that, Rose left Eleanor sobbing, on the tiled floor.
