Ellen's POV
His accusation fueled the flame of anger within me, igniting the embers of resentment that smoldered beneath the surface. "I've had enough of your damned blabbering, Gabriel." I retorted, my voice tinged with frustration. "I don't need your judgment."
"What the fuck?!" Gabriel yelled his face distorted in anger.
But before our quarrel could escalate further, Liz intervened, her voice a welcome reprieve from the escalating tension. "Enough." She declared, her tone commanding obedience. "Can we not have some peace and quiet for a while in this house? Everytime we're together, can you guys just pretend to be decent and keep your wimps to yourselves?"
"Tell that to Ellen." Gabriel retorted.
I wanted to yell at him but then our parents walked, so I could only swallow my anger and look at him with contempt.
