what ifs

"Oh Luella, you scared me!" Her mom muttered as she fed her the food she had prepared for her

"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry" Ella mumbled "it really wasn't intentional" she added

The whole family was there, all staring at her seriously, concerned looks on their faces

"You shouldn't hesitate to tell us if something is up" her mom spoke softly "you know we always have your back"

Ella gave a nod, yeah, she knew, they got her, always…

"Tell us if you're being bullied in any way, there's nothing we can't handle" Liam spoke, tone cheerfully crazy

"Do you think anyone can bully me?" Ella raised a brow "I can't be touched" she muttered

Liam scoffed "says the weakling!"

"I'm no weakling!" Ella argued "and I'm not being bullied, please stop giving me the pitiful looks" she frowned, everyone was literally giving her the 'thank God you're okay, you scared us' kind of look, augh!!
