”It’s just pitiful being in this broken dysfunctional family.”
Tonight was one of those nights, Amity was on the sidelines while her two older siblings that were twins, Emira and Edric, put on some final touches on their appearances for the show.
She helped with setting up the stage a few minutes prior, now she was on the sidelines either sitting down, serving drinks or snacks, keeping the place clean, or just overall watching the crowd to make sure they didn’t get too rowdy.
“Welcome one and all to the show! Tonight is our first night of fun, we hope you stick around and enjoy the magic we have brought here tonight.” Emira was speaking to the crowd like usual like Edric, everyone cheered and that left Amity with a bittersweet feeling in her stomach.
She had to do everything and no one gave her recognition, they made it seem like Emira and Edric did everything and were heroes just because they were popular and famous. She only asked for recognition at least from her parents, from people, she did her best in school by being the top student, she was formal and polite, what else did they want?
“Ugh, I’m taking a break..” She muttered to herself, one of the other employees took over her shift and she left to sit outside on one of the benches. She expected to be alone, but you saw her leave and decided to follow Amity.
You sat down beside her on the bench, and had a worried look on your face even with a small smile tugging at your lips. “Hi! Are you okay?”
She was startled by the sudden voice, and she put on her front to cover her exhaustion. “What do you want? Who are you?” She asked in a cold tone to shield her vulnerability.
