Journey Of Misery

"We are home" Ellison yelled once we back from school.

"Ella, Baby get fresh and have something" My stepmom said to Ellison while taking her school bag.

"Ashely change fast and do house chores first and after have your food" She said going inside Ellison room.

"Just wait for me in your room, I will come with food" Ellison whispered going to her room.

"Ella..." she ran away.

I went to my small room with single bed and one small closet. I changed into my daily clothes.

"Let's Eat" Ellison whisper yelled coming inside while I was arranging my school uniform.

"Why did you do that, If mom knows she will yell at me and also punish you" I asked.

She always do taking her food coming in my room and feeding me till I am full. last time mom found out and she yelled also slapped me saying "I am snatching food from her baby "and locked Ellison in her room for one day. 

"Just eat, have you seen yourself" She said taking spoonful pasta.

"Ella.." She dragged spoon around my mouth pointing me to open my mouth.

"Big sis, I don't know what mom have issues with you but I have to complete my duty.

"Duty" I frowned.

"Daddy told me, I am big girl so I have to take care of my sister" She proudly said.

"Ella, Sometimes you behave like mom" I said looking at picture of my mom.

"She was so beautiful" Ella praised. She always Praise beauty of my mom.

"You are too" I said taking spoon from her hand so, I can feed her.

"I don't want to eat" She pout.

"Why" I asked. Her mischievous eyes saying me she is up to something.

"I have order pizza" She said smiling ear to ear.

"Does mom knows" I asked.

No, Will tell her daddy ordered for us" She smirked. She always does, ordering food from outside and telling mom it's order by daddy, Whenever mom ask daddy first he schoked but soon join her with her lie.

"Ella.." I huffed.

"Stop whining like child, I saw you in cafe drooling pizza but you didn't buy because you want to save money to go for Higher studies. " She said.

"I should be less burdon on daddy Ella, He is best father doing everything for us" I explained.

"If he knows you starving yourself just to save money, Don't you think he will hurt more" She asked.

"Please Ella, Never let him know" I Plead.

"My bigsis, Daddy love us" She said squeezing my hand.

"Now eat fast you also have to eat pizza" She changed the topic.

"I need to do house chore too after we will study" I said and she nodded.

After finishing pasta I went to kitchen to do dishes and other chores which was waiting for me.

I was adopted child. My father and mother didn't had any child so they adopted me. They loved me like own child but one curseful night I lost my mother.My mother died in accident saving me she lost her life. 

Daddy didn't want to again get marry and have new family according him he was happy that I was saved. Being single father was not easy task for him, Soon his cafe falling in financial crises because he always stay at home to taking care of me. My stepmom was working in my father cafe so she suggested she will take care of me while he can work in cafe.

My father accepted her offer. intial days she was good with me taking care of and also helping my father in cafe. One day something happened at home while I was in school. when I back from school, daddy told me from now on she is my mother. They both get married.

I was happy now again I have family but soon my dream crashed when my stepmom started yelling on me, Asking me to do chores and didn't give me food in absence of my daddy. After year Ellison born and she started treated me like servent. I didn't let daddy know about things because I didn't want them to fight because of me.

One day daddy found out me cleaning floor of living room. He returned back early from cafe because he was feeling little feverish. He was schoked looking me doing all chores and they both fight that day. My stepmom defend herself saying I should know housewok.

I was happy atleast I have sister like Ellison, Who always looking for me, Care for me.

I was done with house chores while door bell rang.

"Ma'am your oder" pizza delivery boy said giving me box.

"Did you order" My step mom asked snatching box from my hand.

"I...No" I stuttered.

"You are just wasting money of my husband hardwork" She yelled.

"Daddy ordered for us" Ellison said coming in living room.

"Why didn't he tell me" Mom asked.

"Morning I told him I want to eat pizza so he said he will order, Now give me" Ellison took box from her hand.

"One pizza for each, So it's for big sis" She said giving me box.

"How many times I have told you, she is not your sister" Stepmom snapped.

"She is and if you again complaint mom, I will tell daddy how rudely you behave with her" Saying Ellison took my wrist taking me to her room 

"Go ahead, I Don't afraid of him" Stepmom yelled.

"Ella, You should not talk with her like that" I said sitting on bed.

"But She can say baseless thing" She was irritate.

"Please don't tell anything to daddy, They will fight and I don't want Please" I said pleading eyes.

"Ashley...." she huffed and I know she won't tell anything to daddy.

it's not like I love facing wrath of my stepmom but I don't want them fight because of me. I have already seen them fighting on me. just because of me daddy once on the edge of death from the day I decided I never complaint about my stepmom to daddy. Daddy is my only family, I can't lose him.
