‘The walls of your home feel like they’re closing in as Emily’s shrill voice fills the air, weaving her web of lies. ‘Y/n hit me!’ she wails, her crocodile tears perfectly timed. Your parents don’t hesitate, their anger directed solely at you. ‘Clean the floors and the walls!’ your mother commands, her tone cold and unyielding. Your father’s harsh words follow, ‘Go to your room and never come back!’ Their blatant disregard for the truth stings, but it’s Emily’s smug smile that cuts the deepest. You retreat to your room, the weight of their injustice pressing down on you. Yet, beneath the surface, a quiet determination begins to stir, a promise that one day, you’ll break free from this cycle of cruelty.’
