Y/n's Pov

   I was just about finished cleaning up the stage when my mom came up to me and looked me dead in the eyes. "You, right after school you need to come back and set up the stage. Make sure you have everything ready for my little angel."

   I smiled and replied, "Of course! No problem, I will be here!" I laughed nervously. She never called me by my name since Layla was born. It's okay at least I feel useful. Heh...

   I got cut off by my thoughts when I heard my sister screaming and crying. "Hey Layla, are you okay." I asked softly.

   She glared at me, "No! No, I'm not okay! Those weird people and that boy you talk to is back again!" I looked at her reassuringly, "Don't worry, it will be fine, I'll go talk with them."

   She screamed and ran off. Weirdly enough there was something I liked about them.

~Flash Back~

   I looked out my window and across I saw my neighbor Gene jamming out to One Direction in his room, music blaring. I let a giggle out and saw Gene staring at me. His eyes went wide. I gave him a thumbs up and he rubbed the back his neck blushing.

~~~~~~~~~Another Time~~~~~~~~~

   I was walking alone to the park, When I saw him playing with his little brother Dante. My little sister was just born today, I want to have that relationship with her. (New flash, you don't. Rip Reader~Chan)

~~~~~~~~~One More Time~~~~~~~~

   Someone was yelling at me to do stuff again. I just stood there smiling and shaking my head. "Why are you smiling? This isn't a laughing matter!" Hearing clear irritation in his voice. I stood still watching my Dad's hand rise up above his head. I prepare for the impact I had gotten yesterday. I squinted my eyes. Then I heard.

   "Hey let go you little runt!" I opened my eyes to see Gene holding my Dad's wrist above his head, "No one! I repeat, No one beats her up but me! I control her!"

   I smiled as my dad walked away. "You seriously are a doormat." He snarled. I looked up at him. "S......sorry. Thanks.......Gene." He rolled his eyes.

   "Don't thank me, I just couldn't let him have you suffer, That's my job. I control you. " I sighed, "S.....ure." He face palmed. "Stop being such a doormat! For Irene's sake." Shaking his head he groaned and started walking away. "Bye, Gene." Facing away from me he put his hand up and waved like always.

~~~~End Of Flash Backs~~~~

   I shrugged it off and went to go investigate. Surely enough it was the Shadow Knights. "Excuse me? Can you please stop harassing my little sister." They laughed. "Little sister? I thought she was your owner, she treats you like a dog." I sighed, he was right, but it had to be that way. Right? "Besides I see you when you get home. I see how they treat you. They took my job and I need to reclaim it. Anyway, it is convenient, us being neighbors, and our rooms are next to each other."

   I smiled, it was all I could do. "Well as you are right, that is how it has to stay." They shook their heads in disapproval. Zenix grumbled and whispered to Gene, "She is so stupid." He smacked him upside the head.   

   "We'll be back......doormat." I chuckled, "I'm sure you will. See ya." He did his signature wave. I don't think they are that ba- they knocked everything off my mom's desk, I watched all the papers fly. Of course.

   I clean up and head home. When I get there I see Gene and Aphmau making out. I swear, she kissed every boy who has flirted with her. I mean, she is pretty, wears short skirts and dresses. And sure I wear T-Shirts and sweatpants, and don't put on heavy clown makeup like hers. Plus my boobs aren't double d either. Oh well.

   I unlocked my door and heard my name being called. I turn my head to see Gene waving at me. I waved back politely and went inside my house. Tomorrow is gonna be a big day.

Beep Beep Beep

   I yawned and stretched. I looked over to my window with my curtain closed. Good. Now I can get dressed without Gene watching me. I walked over to my closet and grabbed my uniform. I quickly slipped it on and tied my bow. Once I finished I walked downstairs and made breakfast for my family.

   Then I heard my little sister flying down the stairs. "Give me my food!" I smiled at her and gave her breakfast. Then after I ate I ran upstairs and brushed my teeth, hair and did my makeup.

   Once I finished, I grabbed my backpack as well as my sisters. I yelled up the stairs, "C'mon Layla, we're gonna be late!" I heard her groan. After a few minutes she was trudging down the stairs.

   We arrived at the middle school and I handed her, her bag and she ripped it out of my hand. I saw her walk to her friends. I smiled, and walked to the high school and saw Aphmau and Garroth making out behind the bleachers. I rolled my eyes.

   Sighing I walked over to the fountain and looked at my reflection. Am I really a push over. Sure I do everything my family asks and sure I can be a little too nice but I'm not a pushover. I can be assertive. I think. Maybe. Maybe not. I bowed my head down and smiled, I'm okay with being a pushover.

   Then out of no where I felt someone shove me. I fell forward preparing to be soaked but instead I felt a hand on my wrist. "Hey! No one is allowed to push her and make her suffer but me! Next time I catch you doing that I will send you 60 feet under ground!" I smiled realizing who it was and seeing the boy who pushed me tremble.

   "Thanks, again. Gene." He threw me on the ground, "Don't thank me."
