Chapter 1- To End It All

You are nothing.

You are not welcome.

You are not wanted.

"Your sister asked for you to be you here. She wants to put water under the bridge. She is the reason we all put up with having you here. Jesus Em, it's been two years. We're adults. I get it, I should have just dumped you instead of cheating you, but this!" he waved his hand at Emmy, "Is fucking outrageous. This is just your petty and dramatic attempt at getting back at your sister. At me."

Normally Emelia would scream. She would yell. She would laugh like a maniac and probably cry. When Emelia was just 20, Gordon came into her life. Forced his way in, whisked her off her feet, made her feel like she was finally safe and loved. After Emmy's father had died, she had a very strained relationship with her mother and new stepfather.  Gordon was the one who helped rebuild that relationship, he was the one who encouraged their monthly getaways to her parents' house.

"How many were actually for me," Emelia whispered incoherently to herself. Tears blurred her eyes. "How many of those trips were actually for her."

There it was again. Like a skip in a record. A replay over and over again with a deafening sound of madness.

Gordon in a dark room

Vicky on top of him.

Their faces when they realized they were caught.

Their faces... devoid of regret.

Repeat.

"What the fuck are you saying?" Gordon snapped.

Her eyes found his again, she wished they hadn't. His face was much like that night. Anger. No remorse. How funny those eyes used to look at her with love and kindness. But she herself felt none of those feelings for him anymore. She hated him, despised him for what he had done. For what he would still do.

Gordon was beloved by her family; he came from an amazing well-off family and when Emmy's mother and stepfather found out she had left him for what he had done... they pressured her into forgiving him; they took his side and claimed Emelia must have been neglecting him. Her mother became livid Emelia hadn't forgiven him for his adultery and had kicked him out of her apartment.

"He has done so much for this family." Roseanne had hissed to her daughter, "He messed up. He deserves forgiveness. You are a spoiled brat if you throw this away."

"He didn't cheat just once!" Emelia screamed back, "He's been fucking her for at least six months! My own sister!"

Emelia knew what her mother's words had meant. He has done so much for this family. She didn't mean the fact Gordon had helped bring Emelia home and closer to them. She had meant having a son in law like Gordon was a dream come fucking true. His family was wealthy and would be wonderful investors for Emelia's stepfather's company. He was handsome and charming. He was the son they always wanted.

How dare Emelia be so selfish and ruin that for her family. But luckily for them, Vicky... the beautiful opposite to her plainer sister, soon declared she was dating Gordon, and the light returned to their eyes. They pretended none of Emelia's past had happened, that Gordon was always meant for Vicky. They ignored their other daughter's anger. They pretended the strain was from Emelia losing even further control. Losing her scholarship, spending all her money.... They blamed everything on their daughter's fall from grace- as they saw it.

Torment, anger, depression. Everything began slipping away.

"Do you know what it's like to be told you were in the wrong." Emelia whispered, her words slightly slurred, "When you were betrayed by the one you most held dear. Told by those..." tears fell from her eyes "who were supposed to be your family."
