"Me? ME? SELFISH?!" Alina yelled, her hands balled into fists at her sides. Her grey eyes were staring back at those that reflected her own. "I have been the parent for you!" She yelled, feeling the eyes of her sibling on her.

Alina felt the slap, hearing the loud responding sound as it caused her eyes to well with tears. Her hair now in her face, her head turned to the wall....The burn on her cheek...Her mother...Slapped her?

"If you're so high and mighty, get your shit, and get out of my house!" Her mother yelled at her, anger and hate in her eyes as she stared at her seventeen year old.
