Chapter 8 Layla cried as she went to her room . Dad turned and glanced at me . That look on his face said everything . Sometimes parents can destroy their kids with just one look . Disappointed . Disgusted . Suarded . He didn't need to say a word to condemn me . Chloe , you really need to change this attitude . You can't be so selfish , so ungrateful . " Your grandma barely paid attention to Layla all these years , but she was her grandma too . " What about you and mom ? Did you pay attention to me all these years ? " Or are you not my parents - just hers ? " Dad sighed . " You're completely unreasonable . " Then he went to Layla's room to comfort her. This wasn't even the same house from ten years ago . They'd bought this place three years ago . It was my first time walking in . And just like that , I was left alone in the living room . wanted to run away , to get as far as possible . But I couldn't stand it . Why should I be the one to leave so they could play happy family ? Wasn't I their kid too ? When Mom came back from grocery shopping , I was still sitting on the couch . " Why didn't you change into slippers ? " " Look , your sister picked these out just for you . Do you like them ? " What a duo this couple were . One desperately trying to paint me as the villain . The other desperately trying to tell me how wonderful Layla was . I couldn't even say what I was hurting over . When I didn't respond , Mom sighed . As she set down those new slippers , I could clearly read " ungrateful " written all over her face . " Have you seen your room ? We were short on time , but your sister put a lot of thought into decorating it for you . " " Go take a look first . If there's anything you don't like , we can change it .

I don't know how Dad had comforted her , but her eyes were still red , yet she wore the smile of a victor . Like the person who'd just cried and run off had nothing to do with her . " Chloe , come see your room ! " " I'm telling you , I put so much thought into decorating it for you . " She pointed to a row of dolls on the bed , all grinning with creepy smiles . " Look at these ! They're like , the most popular toys right now ! They are Fugglers ! " " I've always wanted them , but Mom and Dad wouldn't buy them for me . Said I was wasting money . " " But the second I said they were for you , they gave me the money without question . They didn't even mind paying scalpers extra . " " Hmph . playing favorites ! " Layla grabbed my arm . pouting at Dad and lifting her chin . Dad looked at her with a smile that was almost pleading . That was an adoring look I'd never seen before . A smile I'd never seen either . Was this the same person who'd made me deaf and still insisted I apologize ?
