Chapter 42: Get out!

"Stop arguing with me, Alexandra. Your sister had locked herself in the room ever since she came home last evening. For the sake of Hannah, can't you just do as you are told?" Alexandra watched as her mother wrinkled her nose and narrowed her eyes, she didn't even try hiding the disdain and disapproval that was clearly visible on her face.

Alexandra's eyes glanced at the basket of fruits that were sitting on the table in front of her, full of fruits that were obviously taken from home. Her parents did not even bother getting her a brand new basket of fruits. It was almost like a sick reminder that they simply couldn't care less about her well-being.

"I'm not going to just do everything you tell me to. I don't owe you, or Dad, or Hannah anything!" Alexandra retorted, her voice louder than she had expected.
