THE SHARP BLADE OF NEGLECT

Adrien POV

I walked into a lonely house. I sighed and tried to make for the status but Nathalie stoped me

Nathalie:"Your father would like to see you Adrien, it's urgent"

Of corse he couldent come fetch me himself. He just had to treat me like a worker didn't he? I nodded and went to his study. I knocked twice and herd his cold voice

Gabriel:"Come in"

I opened the door and stepped into his big study. He was standing at his small desk with his grey sleek tablet. He wasn't speaking so I guessed he was waiting for me

Adrien:"You called for me father?"

I hated how I spoke to him, just like a employee. If we didn't have the same sure name you would Probelly presume we weren't even father and son

Gabriel:"Yes"

He didn't say anything. I was becoming a bit irretated, was he going to tell me or not!? But I was that obedient robot, I couldent talk back or ask him to hurry up. I was only programed to do one thing. Fake a smile and act perfect

Gabriel:"I have noticed that the latest cloths aren't selling as I hoped"

Adrien:"I fail to see how this has anything to do with me"

Gabriel:"Your photographer has told me it's because of the photoshoots. They aren't up to standard any more"

I began to get nervous. The akumas were much stronger than usall and I was so tired. Photoshoots would last for 4 house instead of 2 and there would be 150 shots instead of 75 like normal. I knew this was my fault, I was just so tired and worn out. I tried to fake a smile and for the most part it was working. Everyone fell for it, even Nino. I never faked a smile at Marinettes thou. If the photographer took pictures of me Smilling like I smile around her, he would only need one shot

Adrien:"Iv just been tired lately, I'm sorry father"

Gabriel:"Adrien, I need you to be at your top all the time. Fashion is a hard and completive business and if one thing is wrong it could destroy the whole company"

I felt a pang in my chest. I guess I was the wrong pice in the equasion

Adrien:"I'm sorry-"

Gabriel:"I do not care for your sorries! You are dragging down the business, I need you to be perfect, not.....this"

I felt even worse, he just pointed me out as a "this" not even a person. Was I just a object he could put on display!? I was a person with their own feelings and wants. This wasent fair!

Adrien:"Father that isent fair!"

Gabriel:"Exuse me?"

His eyes widened only for a second. He never thought his perfect son would agure back. He thought I would be submissive and take all his words in, but no! This was not fair and I'm putting my foot down!

Adrien:"Father I'm a human being. I'm not a robot that's perfect. I'm not perfect and I won't ever be! You can't expect the best of me all the time. I have wants and feelings but you seem to ignore that and treat me like a worker! It's not fair!"

I was upset but not engouf to continue. I have the rage of a feather. I calmed down isntially and regretted my words, I wanted to take them back but couldn't. To late. My father dident seem moved by my outburst and went back to my tablet
