It all seemed unreal. She felt like an outsider while living under the same roof as them. Emmy, for as long as her developing brain could remember, had stood on the sidelines while the image of the LaRusso family portrait stood tall and mocked her. The distance she felt from her parents had become so large, and she couldn't even reach them, even if they were inches away from her.
She often wondered if she had died without knowing and this was just her being clueless.
Emmy spent a lot of time away from home. Often spending time at her best friend, Demetri's house as a way to escape the thick tension inside the LaRusso residence whenever she stepped into a room with her father.
The two had met when Emmy had skipped 1st grade, and went straight into 2nd grade. She was cocky about skipping a grade, and during one of her many bragging rambles, a young Demetri had stood up and told her that nobody cared if she had skipped a grade.
As a result, Emmy had cried the whole day, making him feel bad. He later picked flowers from his front yard, and showed up at her house to apologize. Emmy told herself that she was going to be stubborn and make him practically beg for her forgiveness, but she saw the flowers and her heart warmed.
She had never received flowers in any way. Not once.
She vowed to keep him by her side, and the duo of Demetri Alexopoulos and Eli Moskowitz became a trio.
Emmy would go on to live the happiest moments of her life with them, keeping a bag at each of their houses in case she didn't want to go that day, or days. Group sleepovers would often end up in Emmy crying into their shoulders and them trying to awkwardly console her.
She just never understood what she did that made them resent her so much. She just wanted to know what she had done wrong to be treated like a distant cousin by her own parents.
But living in the shadow of her older sister didn't give her the chance to speak up, like the universe was slapping a hand over her mouth whenever she even thought about bringing up the topic.
Even the universe hated her.
But Emmy LaRusso had always been stubborn, and there was no way in hell that she would let the universe get in the way of her trying to figure out where she went wrong in life.
The universe had never showed her mercy, so why should she?
