Le miroir dans l’entrée est mon premier ennemi de la journée. Je baisse les yeux trop tard. J’ai déjà vu la masse informe, le visage trop rond, le pull beige qui boudine à tous les endroits que je voudrais cacher. J’ai dix-sept ans, et mon reflet est celui d’une ombre, épaisse et mal définie.
Un grognement derrière moi.
— Tu bloques le passage, Élianor. On ne peut même plus se déplacer dans sa propre maison à cause de toi.
La voix de ma sœur, Liora, est un couperet. Elle se faufile devant moi, mince et méchante comme un serpent, son corps d’athlète du lycée glissant dans l’espace sans effort. Son regard me toise, un rictus de dégoût aux lèvres.
— Vraiment, essaie de te tenir droite. On dirait un sac de patates. Et ce pull… c’est censé cacher quoi, au juste ? La honte ?
Je serre les dents, le cœur battant à tout rompre. Chaque mot est une piqûre, précise et familière. Je me tasse contre le mur, la peinture froide à travers le tissu, souhaitant pouvoir disparaître dans les fleurs du papier peint. Je suis chez moi, et pourtant, je suis de trop. Un meuble encombrant.
À table, le petit-déjeuner est un autre champ de mines. L’odeur du pain grillé, qui devrait être réconfortante, est une odeur de jugement. Ma mère pousse un soupir théâtral en me voyant prendre une tartine.
— Encore du pain, chérie ? Tu sais, avec ta… constitution, il faudrait peut-être penser aux fruits. Une pomme, c’est si rafraîchissant.
Elle dit « constitution » comme on dirait « maladie honteuse ». Elle ne me regarde jamais vraiment en face, son regard glisse sur moi comme sur une tache persistante.
Mon père, derrière son journal, renchérit sans même lever les yeux. Sa voix est un édit, lointain et sans appel.
— Elle a raison, Élianor. L’obésité est une maladie. Il faut de la discipline. De la volonté. Regarde ta sœur.
Liora, justement, ricane, étalant une couche généreuse de beurre et de confiture sur sa propre tartine.
— La discipline, elle ne connaît pas. La seule chose qu’elle sait bien faire, c’est remplir son assiette. Et encore, souvent, elle en met à côté.
Son rire, aigu, perce la pièce. Je baisse la tête, les joues en feu. La tartine que je mâchonne a un goût de cendre et de culpabilité. Chaque bouchée est un péché, chaque mastication une preuve accablante de mon manque de volonté. Je suis leur bouc émissaire désigné, le défaut de fabrication de cette famille qui se veut parfaite. Leur mépris est une chape de plomb qui m’écrase un peu plus chaque jour, m’enfouissant un peu plus profondément.
La rue qui mène au lycée est un calvaire que j’arpente chaque matin, le ventre noué. J’ai dix-sept ans, et je devrais rêver de liberté, de premiers baisers, d’avenir. Au lieu de cela, je rêve d’invisibilité. Les regards des passants glissent sur moi, se détournent avec une indifférence cruelle ou un amusement mal dissimulé. Des chuchotements qui crépitent comme un feu de brindilles. Des rires étouffés qui me cinglent la nuque. Je reconnais certains visages. D’anciens camarades de classe qui feignent de ne pas me voir. Des voisins qui hochent la tête avec une fausse pitié.
— Attention, ça arrive, murmure une voix en provenance d'un porche.
— Bouge-toi, le bateau arrive dans le port, lance un autre, plus fort, depuis l'autre côté de la rue.
Je fixe le trottoir devant mes pieds, le bitume fissuré, les chewing-gums écrasés. J'essaie de rendre mon corps plus petit, moins visible, de contracter mes épaules, de rentrer mon ventre. En vain. Mon existence même est une gêne, une anomalie dans le paysage ordonné et propre de cette petite ville de province. Je suis la grosse. La grosse Élianor. Celle dont on rit entre deux cours. Celle dont on a pitié, parfois, d’un regard furtif et vite détourné, avant de se retourner pour mieux participer à la moquerie générale.
Je marche, tête basse, portant le poids de leur regard. Portant le poids de ma famille. Portant le poids de ma propre chair, devenue une prison dont je ne sais pas comment m'échapper. Chaque pas est une humiliation. Chaque souffle, une honte. À dix-sept ans, je suis déjà une ruine, et le jour commence à peine. Le pire, je le sais, m’attend derrière les portes du lycée.
**At the Police Station** Ava watched as Giovanni was taken to a cell, she and Raymond wrote down their statements and she left the building while Raymond stayed back to talk to the officers. "Why didn't you text me?" Raymond asked her as he came out. "Has he said anything about the whereabout of my kids?" Ava asked instead of answering Raymond's question. "Not yet, the officers are positive they will get it out of him before the day ends" Raymond replied. "Alright, I have called Ted, to come pick me up, you can go without me" Ava told him. "No, I won't. Hey look at me" He turned Ava to face him. "It's my kids too, I also want to find them, so if you have any lead please let me know " Raymond pleaded "It's not really a lead, Summer sent me this address" Ava showed him the address on the phone. "And you want to go alone, we don't even know if they were working together " "I don't think so, she was the one that told me about Giovanni " "That doesn't prove anythin
*_Mr. Armando's Warehouse_*Ava looked around the mansion; the gate was hard to see, carefully hidden in a camouflaged way. Bodyguards were stationed at every point in the compound, some even stood by the waterfall. Ava couldn't help but wonder who or what needed that much protection.As Giovanni parked in the compound, two bodyguards rushed to the car as if they were expecting them. The car door opened, and Giovanni stepped out, ensuring he opened the door for Ava. She smiled at the bodyguards, but they kept a straight face. Ava looked at Giovanni, who was talking to one of the other bodyguards.Upon entering one of the warehouses, Ava saw that it was a fully furnished house. "Miss Ava, welcome to my little home," Armando announced. Ava looked at the man for a brief second; if the circumstances were different, she might have fallen for that smile."Hello, it's nice to finally meet you, Mr. John," Ava said."Oh, John is Giovanni's biological dad; call me Armando," he corrected."Alrig
*_In Giovanni's car_*"So, do you want to tell me why your dad is with my kids?" Ava asked. She watched as Giovanni moved to face her better."Remember how I told you my mom died in an accident?" Giovanni asked. When Ava nodded, he continued."Your dad set the car on fire," Giovanni explained."That's not true," Ava countered."Except that it is. My mom was such a huge fan of the Smith's Fashion brand. She had every kind of cosmetic they produced. My stepdad was a friend to your dad, so he took my mom to meet your dad, and she was really happy. One day, we were at the mall picking up a few things for my stepdad when my mom saw your dad. She told me to wait so she could meet up with him. He walked her to her car, and I don't know what they talked about, but the conversation got heated. When she made to open the car door, he threw her on the floor."Giovanni forced in a deep breath."Are you sure you remember correctly, because your story isn't really making much sense?" Ava said."If y
***The Murdocks*** Summer woke up with her head banging. She opened her eyes slowly and scanned her environment. She remembered what had happened earlier, and her heart raced, thinking about the boys. She stood up immediately, but the wave of pain that hit her body made her lie down slowly. Her parents rushed to her side. "Oh, darling, I'm so glad you're awake. We were so worried," her mother's voice was teary. Summer sighed at the hypocrisy. "Where are they?" Summer ignored her mom. "Who?" Mrs. Murdock explained. "You were alone in the car when we found you." "Oh, please don't bullshit me. Dad, where are they?" She turned her gaze to her dad. "Honey, it's as your mother explained. We met you alone and unconscious," Mr. Murdock explained. "Oh, Dad, you are so evil. You promised to spare their lives if I brought them to you. I was on my way here. Couldn't you wait a few more minutes?" Summer cried. "Hey, darling, your father and I really don't have anything to do with that. We
*Ava's residence* Summer and the kids were in the living room when Ava came in. The boys ran to her immediately she came in and she bent to receive them. "How are my boys doing today?" She said as she rubbed her face on each of their belly causing them to laugh. "I miss you mommy" Leonard said A
*Kind Heart Hospital* Ava was headed to the lab to pick up the test results of Elder Sphinx when she saw Dr.John walking towards her. "Dr. Ava good morning. You look exceptionally beautiful today" Dr John said "Good morning Doc. You don't look bad yourself. The sabbatical was really good on you"
Third person's P.O.V *Raymond's Residence* Raymond had just tucked in Andre and was now in the kitchen making a call. "I had to take my son out of that place, I couldn't leave him there for a second more. This has gone beyond bearable, I know we were not the best of family but this is not the wom
Ava's P.O.V I was supposed to go to Summer's house and tell her what had happened, but I needed to clear my head first so I just headed home instead. When I got home I saw Summer's car in the garage. I let out a disappointed sigh before entering the house. I checked up on the twins, they were alrea
