Primrose's POV
"Are you a half sister too?"
"No."
She explained everything to me.
"Jesus...I think your family hates you."
"No shit."
Marionette ran down the stairs.
"Marionette no running by the stairs."
She ran up to Alexia.
"Hi!"
Alexia crouched down.
"Hi cutie!"
"I'm Marionette Jane!"
"Hi!"
"Princess, this is your Aunt Alexia."
"Hi! Are you going to be mean to my daddy too?"
"Huh?"
"A lot's happened since you've been gone."
Onyx went through everything.
"Princess go back to sleep please."
"But I wanna talk to Aunt Lexia!" She said as she stomped her foot.
"Hey don't give me an attitude young lady."
"You need to sleep so, you're not cranky in the morning."
"But Primy!" She whined.
"Yes?"
"I've never met her before!"
"Neither have we."
Onyx crouched down in front of Marionette.
"Please go back to sleep. She'll be here, in the morning."
"Why should I?"
"A-are you-are you seriously talking back to me?"
"I don't want to go back to sleep!"
"I guess, you don't want to see Elise that much huh?"
"I do!"
"Go to sleep and stop being rude to me."
"But-"
"Don't continue that sentence Marionette Jane. Go back to sleep."
"But daddy-"
"Do you want me to cancel your play date with Elise?"
She shook her head.
"Then you gotta go back to sleep."
"NO!"
"Did you seriously just yell at me?"
"I WANT TO STAY UP!"
"Marionette Jane stop being rude."
She slapped Onyx.
"Alright. You're grounded. Go to your room. Your play date with Elise is cancelled." He said as his voice cracked.
I don't think, I've ever seen him that upset before.
"I HATE YOU!"
His eyes widened. I saw a tear slide down his face.
"You and everyone else do."
She ran away.
"Nyx-"
"Don't say anything. Please j-just don't. I've never had to do that before. That hurt like hell. And then to hear her say she hates me?"
"I-I don't think she meant it."
"Doesn't matter. That just fuckin broke my heart."
He stood up as he wiped tears away.
"Let me guess. You hate me too?"
"N-no! I-I love you so fucking much!"
I went to hug him but, he pushed me away.
"Don't. I-I don't know why everyone, keeps killing a piece of me. Nobody even offers condolences." He said as his voice cracked again.
"All I do....everything I do..is to make sure, she has a better childhood than I did. I can't even get that right. Maybe Donovan's right."
"Onyx what does that mean?"
"Maybe...everyone i-is better without me."
"NO! T-THAT IS NOT TRUE!" I said as my voice cracked.
"Baby you're scaring me!"
A tear slid down my face.
"I feel like..you're lying to me."
"What's making you say that?!"
"It's just what, everyone seems to do to me."
He went to walk away but, I grabbed his wrist. I felt his scar.
"Let me go Primrose. Just...let me go."
"No! I know you! You're gonna do something stupid!"
He scoffed.
"It is really stupid when, it's the only solution?"
"Onyx stop! You're freaking me out!"
He looked at me with the saddest pair of eyes, I'd ever seen.
"My best..is never enough."
"T-that's not true! Your best IS enough! YOU ARE ENOUGH!"
More tears slid down his face.
"Out of everyone in my life...one of the ones that means the most to me...just fucking lied to my face. Why?"
He thinks I'm a liar?!
"I-I'm not lying! I-I hate lies! I fuckin love you!"
"If that's true then...let me go. Just..let me die."
That entire statement...killed a part of me. I grabbed his wrist tighter.
"Stop fucking talking like this!"
Then I realized something.
"This is all because she slapped you..isn't it?"
