286–Someone Cares Too Much
Nora:
I frowned, hastily typing another text. This was not fair. They had not right to mistreat me like this. To accuse me like I was born a criminal. What the hell was wrong with them?
Me: You think I cause trouble?
I waited, but he never got back to me. At this point, I was getting so anxious that my breathing became irregular. I was trying to calm myself but it wasn’t working.
How do I make them respond to me? Should I yell at them, curse at them? That would make them lose their temper with me.
As I paced around the terrace, my vision started to blur.
I didn’t even notice when the door to my room opened and someone barged in
“Hey, good morning. I’m so sorry for leaving without informing you. There was an issue related to the woods, and when I got home, I found the ladies in the garden. I quickly made my way to your room to check on you because I know they’re always making things diff–” As Brody. walked in and rambled, he suddenly paused when I turned around to face him.
His eyes widened at the sight of me. I guess I was bleeding from my
nose.
He rushed in the moment my body began to collapse. As he carried me
in his arms, I slowly lost consciousness.
“Rollo!” Brody yelled, laying me down on my bed. I was still slightly awake, only able to hear the commotion around me.
“Where the hell is Rollo? Ask him to come here!” Brody aggressively shouted at someone.
“Nora! Please wake up, tell me what’s wrong?” He was so lovingly running his hands through my hair that I let go of my body and passed
out.
“I want to know who thought it was a good idea for you to show up at our door with your friends?” I was in my sleep, but I could hear Brody speaking to someone,
“I thought I didn’t need any permission to come here,” I recognized her voice—it was April.
“You do need to inform me because your presence stresses out Nora.” His voice was clear, and the aggression in it was also quite evident.
“But—you would kick out your cousin for her?” I heard the shock in her voice. I wanted to get up and argue with her, but I knew I couldn’t win against her. She would go ahead and tell my stepbrothers I was the reason Brody was angry with her, and then they would come yelling at
I don’t know since when I became so scared of their anger, but I guess it has to do with the fact that I wanted to return home. For that, I needed my stepbrothers to see me with the same affection they used to before.

This might be a good read if it quits switching languages. It starts English then I believe maybe dutch then possibly Spanish so makes it hard to understand with not being able to read paragraphs at a time ....
