Aubrey sat on her bed staring at the door with her fist and teeth clenched. She was breathing rapidly, she was so angry with her father. She hated her step-mother and Caitlyn; it was their fault that her father was so cruel. Aubrey heard the door shut from downstairs. She walked to the window and looked out. She seen her father in a black suit and her step-mother in a new black gown she had purchased the day before. Her father led the woman to the passenger side of the red car and opened the door, the step-mother jumped in. Aubrey continued to glare out the window as her father hopped into the driver side and started the engine. A few second later he father pulled out of the drive way. Aubrey continued to look out the window until the vehicle was out of sight.
Aubrey stomped to her vanity desk and sat down. She looked in the mirror at her reflection that was so similar to her mother's. She glared at the image on the mirror, she hated how she looked. Aubrey could feel the tears go down her face as she continued to look at the mirror.
"I hate you." She whispered at the mirror.
"I hate you!" She screamed as she clenched her teeth and drove her right fist into the mirror.
The sound of the mirror breaking was loud and there were shatters of glass everywhere. Aubrey removed her now bloody fist form the broken mirror. She bit her lip as she felt the pain in her fist. Aubrey inspected her hand, it was gruesome, she was not only bleeding but she had shards of glass stuck in her hand. She looked into the broken mirror her reflection was still there but it was red as the mirror had her blood everywhere.
Aubrey concentration on the mirror was interrupted as she heard the door open and a squeaky voice.
"Abby, I heard a loud noise." Caitlyn said quietly as she noticed the blood.
"Abby?" Caitlyn asked as she continued to stare at her step-sister.
Aubrey clenched the tube of lipstick that was sitting on the desk. She then turned around in the chair and glared at her step-sister. Aubrey's glare freighted the child and made her step back.
"Abby." The girl stammered as she held onto the door.
"Didn't I tell you to stay out of my room?" Aubrey yelled as she chucked the lipstick tube.
Aubrey grabbed her right wrist as winced in pain while the lipstick tube hit the little girl in the head. Caitlyn grabbed her head that now had a little bump on it. Tears flowed from her eyes as she made crying noises, she then ran out of the room leaving the door wide open.
"I hate you!" Aubrey said as she ran to the door and slammed it.
