POV Miley

Deepfrozen I came in dark hall. Diana, our housekeeper, never puts light on here. She thinks it is just wasting of money. So all of my family members including me have to move through dark obstacle course by touch. Don't think it's so easy. There are many of wall sconces which hang very law and beat us right on foreheads when we try to go through. And now I'm moving like a thief in own home trying not to bump in some furniture.

Suddenly lights were on I closed my eyes not wanting to get blind.

"Open your eyes now and tell me where the hell you've been".

I obeyed and raised my eyelids. First thing I saw was a clawed spot. I had to blink few times to see finally what's going on.

"Stop fooling around RIGHT NOW" my mom's face was almost red - she began to boilt and I took a step back just in case. "I asked you the question and being tired waiting for an answer".

My heart started beating in highest speed. I sighed heavily.

"Mom" I began trying to be as calm as possible, but my voice shivered treacherously. "I was outside as you told me to, because it's Saturday".

"It is two hours as we finished" she barely restrained not to hit me right here.

My shivering body pressed against the hall wall and I murmured softly "I didn't know. Nobody told me".

"Yes, no one did" mom's voice sounded surprisingly calm and soft "though you had a right to come in to warm up. I am not a monster and despite of you presence disturbes a bit today, you could come in and have a cup of hot drink. I would do coffee for my daughter. But now, if you feel better outside, go ahead. Sleep in the garage".

"But momma..." I felt hot tears streaming down my cheeks. Why am I so gutless?! Maybe that's why everybody hates me - I'm so whiny and weak.

Mother pulled me out off home. "Sweet dreams, baby" she said and shut the door.

I flicked unstoppable tears off from my cheeks, turned out and stepped on wet cold ground.

I deserve attitude I get. No one will fight for my future but me. I got to earn respect and love and I will do it. Even if it's going to be my last fight.
