Screwed

To put it simply, their family was screwed up.

Two very…different girls and a father who despised the older one, but showered the younger with gifts and adoration. It didn't make any sense in Nessa's mind.

There were times when Nessa would have given anything to be in a different family-a normal one. One where parents treated their children equally, one where she didn't have to live with Elphaba looking at her like that-although Nessa couldn't quite figure out what that was. Was it anger? Sadness? Frustration?

Elphaba thought that she was the reason Nessa was unhappy in their family. She was wrong. Their father was the reason for that. Nessa hated how he completely ignored and despised Elphaba, but loved his younger daughter to no end. Shouldn't it have been the other way around? After all, Elphaba didn't kill her own mother. Nessa did.

But in their family, Elphaba was the one shunned, while Nessa was fawned over.

The only way to describe their family was screwed up.

And it didn't look like Nessa was ever going to get out of it.
