Chapter 2 Apologize +10 Free Coins My aunt immediately jumped in. " Megan , don't say that ! This isn't your fault . Nicole's the one with no conscience ! " My uncle chimed in right after . " Exactly . I always knew something was off about her , so quiet and sneaky . Not like Amanda and Samuel , they're so lively and sweet . " My cousin added fuel to the fire . " Nicole's being so immature . Aunt Megan , don't stress yourself out . She'll come crawling back once she runs out of money ." I watched the messages roll in , one after another .
Not one person asked why I left , and not one person cared where I was . They just started labeling me and passing judgment , and they were damn good at it . I remembered when I was twelve years old . Amanda had her eye on a white piano at the mall . It cost 80 thousand dollars , and my parents bought it without a second thought . They said girls needed to be raised with the best of everything , and learning piano would give her class and refinement . I'd wanted a 60 - dollar art set . I begged Mom for an entire month , and she finally shoved me away in frustration .
" What's the point of painting ? Can you eat a painting ? Stop wasting time on useless things ! " A few weeks later , Samuel knocked over a bottle of ink while he was playing around , and it ruined the piano keys . Mom held Amanda while she sobbed and pointed her finger right in my face . " If you hadn't brought those cheap paints into this house , none of this would've happened ! Why did I give birth to an idiot like you ? All you do is drag this family down ! " That night , they sent me to bed without dinner and made me stand on the balcony until morning . And Samuel ?
He got rewarded with the newest game console for " having the courage to admit his mistake . " I left the family group chat and put my phone on silent . My manager called from outside . " Nicole , stop spacing out ! Table 12 needs to order ! " I shoved my phone in my pocket and walked out . The next afternoon , I was mopping the floor when my phone buzzed . Mom had posted something new in the family chat . It was a photo of me in my work uniform , wiping down a table . The caption read , " Nicole found herself a ' high - paying ' job .

Everyone should stop by and help talk some sense into this foolish child . " She'd included the address of the fast food restaurant where I worked . The glass door swung open with a loud crash , and a whole group of people poured inside . Mom and my aunt were leading the charge . Mom grabbed my hand , and tears appeared instantly in her eyes . " How can my daughter be suffering in a place like this ? It's my fault , I shouldn't have said those things to you . Come home with us right now !
" She was crying and shouting , but her fingers dug into my arm hard enough to bruise , and she hissed under her breath , "Your haven't embarrassed us enough already ? Let's go . Now ." My aunt's voice boomed across the entire restaurant . " Your family gives you everything you could ever need , and this is how you repay them ? You throw a tantrum on Christmas because you didn't like your gift ? Your parents raised you for all these years , and now you're stabbing them in the heart ! " 1/2 pm Chapter 2 Apologize +10 Free Coins My uncle pointed his finger right at my nose .
" I've never seen such an ungrateful child ! Apologize to your mother right now ! " I finally spoke and yanked my hand away from Mom's grip . " What did I do wrong that I need to apologize ? " Amanda showed up wearing designer clothes from head to toe , and she stood at the edge of the crowd with sunglasses on and disgust written all over her face . " Nicole , stop making a scene , okay ? Look at yourself . You're embarrassing the entire family . You were never that smart to begin with , and now you're wasting your life working as a waitress in a place like this .
Is this really all you're planning to do with your life ? " Samuel pushed his way through the crowd and pinched his nose dramatically . " Nicole , it reeks of grease in here ! Doesn't it make you sick smelling this every day ? Just come home already and do my laundry . I'm dropping ranks in my game ! " Customers around us started whispering and pointing . The manager frowned and walked over . " What's going on here ? If you're not eating , I need you to leave . You're disrupting our business . " Mom immediately put her hands on her hips . " Who are you ?
We're disciplining our own child , and it's none of your business . She's our daughter , and we have every right to take her home ! " Then she dropped to the floor and started wailing while slapping her thighs . " This is wrong ! I raised this daughter with blood , sweat , and tears , and now she doesn't even recognize me ! She'd rather serve strangers than come home to see me ! What did I do to deserve this ! " The scene spiraled out of control instantly , and some onlookers had already pulled out their phones to record everything .
1 stood in the middle of the chaos with a ringing in my ears . These so - called family members were using the most caring words to do the cruelest things .
