hurt was written across her features, and words bit at her tongue, ready to explode. she waited until Akuti had left them, and, words resonating with the hot, wet kind of anger she hated, she spoke.

I wasn't enough for Sunny to want to stay, and I wasn't enough family for you?" her gaze shimmered, glistened, against her will. words exploded out of her to the effect of a bullet shredding through paper, raw and volatile. 

"If you have new kids, a new wife, a new family - does that make me a mistake?" perhaps she was overreacting. perhaps, she was too selfish in her words. but never before had she thought a situation like this would arise, and, young, she did not know how to deal with it properly.
