Sacrifices

Past Regrets

                           ( writer's POV) 

                                           As Carla walked down the long golden and silver railed staircase she glared at him with a look that was past being disgusted. Her brown eyes seemed almost like blades piercing his skin he could feel the hatred in her stare like a cold but burning hot feeling was hitting his skin. He didn't know whether to step closer for a greeting or to step back almost in fear of being stabbed in the arm. Suddenly Clotidla stepped in after feeling the tense stare in the air."So where do you want to go we always go somewhere new and I want everyone to enjoy this especially you Carla you've been so tense lately and it's your first time going out with us so I want you to enjoy it the most."Carla looked over to her little sister and gave her a soft look "I would love to go where ever you want to go Sweetheart. 

             Sebastian gave her a look of sheer surprise he had never heard her speak so lovingly so sweetly with care. Carla was the type of person to shut everyone out, and her feeling, at a certain age she almost completely shut everyone out except Cleo. She would treat her like she was all she had but halfway through Sophomore year when she cut her off too.No one knew why, or when really during that year, and that's the way she wanted it to stay. The car ride was the least to say awkward the only ones talking were Scarlett, Chotidla, and Alexander. Scarlett and Alex had been working for Sebastian for 10+ years the two were overly close, most likely because they grew up around each other.

                  As Sebastian and Carla sat only two feet away from each other the dense air in the once cool house had followed them now in the car. It didn't matter if the air was on or the windows were down nothing was going to get rid of this feeling, years of pain suddenly came back to her even though. Carla had a perfect sleeping schedule that left her refreshed she felt far from it, she felt half asleep, and as if her throat was closing up, she could feel her body slowly giving her a migraine as if to distract her from acknowledging her father who sat so close to her. She hadn't felt this way in a long time she didn't know chotidla was actually going to convince her to come but she could only hope the rest of the night was going to be better. 

       (Carla's, POV)

                              As my migraine grew I felt sick to my stomach it felt like my heart was slowly collapsing just to burst. My head was spinning, it was as if my thought and memories were coming together the sun flashing in and out between the slowly darkening clouds made the feelings more surreal like I felt this way before but unknowingly forgot it. Before I knew it I was out it was as if my body gave out the darkness slowly coving me like the clouds coving the once bright sun. When I woke up it was dark I couldn't make out what was in front of me or get up my body ached and I almost let out a moan of pain as I went to grab where I could feel the pain coming from. After trying to make out what was in this dark room I struggled to get up again but soon laid back down after I could hear a door open that was followed up with the sound of footsteps but they were going down into the room I was in but where was this room, where was I? I pretended to be asleep I didn't know why but I knew I had to for some unknown reason. I slowed my breath as the footsteps got closer I tried to keep up the act before I felt someone's foot collide with my stomach pain overthrew me as I gasped for air while holding my stomach. while laying there in pain the light was finally turned on I looked up to see my father, Sebastian he walked over in almost irritation he grabbed my hair as he dragged me I tried to cry out in pain but nothing came out. I felt someone grab my arm and give it a shake I suddenly woke up back in the car I look to who had woke me up to see a worried chotidla who seemed to be looking at Sebastian as if to warn him to not wake me up. His hand still holding my arm I quickly pulled my arm away disgusted could not explain how I felt, I gave him a look of pure rage."DO NOT F#CKING TOUCH ME." he quickly let go and pushed himself against the car door."I had to tell you we're here:"
