AN this is weird to write. not only becasue i was writing a different thing when this popped into my head and so i had no pairing in mind so won't be one but also becasue i have no idea what im writing even as i wrote it. I guess this could be the Bob thing i was on about in the last chapter
The expression, "you'll learn to like it" was invented by Elle because she too had had to learn to like it.
It wasn't all non effect-y on her, not until she'd handled enough electricity to light the whole of Europe and Asia for over four months. And that took a long time.
Until age eight to be exact. Power failures galore, exploding lights, it all hurt her and her dad didn't care. he wasn't even happy when it stopped hurting but at least after that it got easier, less painful, less annoying. It fed more pleasure into her system, more high and less low. Eight may not seem a lot since she was in her twenties but eight years of pain caould and did scar.
Every single person she had met had hated the shocks, the pain. they got used to it, just like her, she learned that reassuring them that they get to like it didn't really help but to her, it was like a catch phrase.
So after a while she wondered, if people sort of liked her after they were used to the shocks, why was her father still angry and cold around her? Did he not like shocks? No, Elle didn't mean like the pleasure that a man gives to a woman, 'cos she knew that would be sick and wrong with a relative, she was talking about the way Mr Bennet was with Claire, supportive, caring.
Bob hated her. Or at least, he acted like he did.
She knew he wished he'd had a son. Knew he didn't want her at all really. Other then for a tool but she couldn't help the naive feelings she had that he loved her deep down. The lie that she told to herself every time before she fell asleep. Her dad would cry when she died. He would be upset.
No matter how much she thought it, part of her knew it wasn't true.
He wouldn't cry, wouldn't be unhappy. Maybe regretful that her power would be lost but that would be the end of it.
Claire thought she had it bad. Claire knew nothing.
