A/N: Based off of this week's episode, I thought this story would be fitting for a Victoria/Charlotte pairing. Enjoy! Please review after reading.
I'm going into what I think will happen between them, after the shot of Victoria peering at her daughter from the top of the stairwell.
Never Enough
My mother looked at me from the rail of the stairway leading up to the second floor. Her eyes, on the surface, would look like remorse to a normal person. But I'm smarter than she thinks I am, I know that behind the facade, my mother would like to strangle me for my display of disrespect.
"I can't believe what I just saw out there," she spoke coldly
"You, I can't believe I just heard my own mother say that she wishes that I had never been born. You know, if you really wanted me dead, there was a little thing that could've taken care of that, it's called abortion." I turned and walked up the opposite stairwell. I briefly stopped besides my mother, who stood with the same blank expression.
"I really wish I wouldn't have been born." I whispered in her ear, which earned another eye to eye glance as she turned to face me.
"Why would you say that?" she stammered
"I wish I wouldn't have been born to you. I could've been born to a mother who cares about me but no, I am doomed to be the daughter of the female Satan." Without another word, I turn and storm towards my room, locking the door behind me.
I sat down at my desk and threw my head into the wood repeatedly. After the tenth time, blood started to smear on the dark wood. "Fuck," I screamed "Why doesn't she love me like a mother should?"
After several minutes of mental contemplation, I walked out of my room to find my mom. When our eyes met again, she still had that gleam of coldness in her stare.
"I knew from the beginning that whatever I did, I was never good enough for you. All of my life, all you did was spit in my face about all of the mistakes I made. Where was the guidance that a mother is supposed to provide for her children? Danny and I had to provide for ourselves most of the time. I've waited all of my life to ask this but what the fuck is wrong with you?"
Without waiting for an answer, I left my mother beside herself wondering exactly what had happened, I journeyed back to my room and dialed my phone.
"Hello?" A female voice asked
"Emily, it's Charlotte. It's done." I breathed in and out slowly.
"Thank you Charlotte." Emily replied
"Yeah, you're welcome. Now what is in this for me?" I asked
Emily chuckled, "Don't you worry about that, you'll be taken care of."
A/N: I left the ending on an ambiguous note, ;eave it to the reader to decide what happens next. In my mind, Emily sends money Charlotte's way for her teaming up to "destroy" Victoria. Yeah, some say that would never happen but that's how I picture Victoria's downfall, if Emily will go after her later in the show.
Take this story for what it's worth and leave a short review. Thanks for reading!
