Act ? Ashley made this pathetic face .
Willow , Im just trying to be nice ! I made this oatmeal for you ! Why would you say that ? I grabbed her wrist .
The oatmeal went everywhere .
< Ashley , dont think I dont know what you did ! I glared at her , but she just smiled .
What are you going to do about it ? Who is going to believe you ? Her words hit me hard .
She was right .
Even Mark , who had raised me , didnt believe me .
No one would .
The guest room door opened , and Mark walked in .
He saw me holding Ashleys wrist .
He pushed me away without a second thought , and pulled Ashley into a protective hug .
Thats enough , Willow , he said coldly .
Youve embarrassed yourself enough .
Now , youre starting in on Ashley ? He pushed me too hard .
My head hit the headboard , and I heard a ringing sound .
I felt something warm drip down my chin .
I looked down , and saw the blood on the sheets .
My nose was bleeding now .
く Mark looked a little startled , a flicker of worry crossing his face .
Willow , are you … ? Ashley clutched his hand and tried to put on that concerned voice again .
You should take it easy , Willow .

It must be hard to get used to things again .
Marks face turned to a grimace .
I said nothing .
I just stared at him .
I should have seen him for what he was .
I spoke softly , Mark , I dont want to stay here .
Just let me go .
He looked at me , his expression all complicated .
But he was cold .
No.
Your parents asked me to take care of you .
I gave them my word .
I cant abandon you now , even if youve decided to go down this path .
His words hit me like a truck .
My parents , Marks parents … theyd been close friends .
When my parents died , the Sterlings took me in .
I was their responsibility .
He just felt < I wiped the blood from my nose , but it kept coming .
My head was spinning .
Mark looked like he was starting to lose his cool .
Im going to call a doctor .
So , I wasnt going to be able to hide it much longer , I guess ? The doctor came in and checked me over .
He stared at my face for what felt like an eternity .
Then , all he said was , Miss White is in perfect health .
Probably just a slight fever .
I looked over at Ashley , and saw the satisfaction on her face .
What was she trying to do to me ? Marks face , all concerned just seconds ago , went dark again .
Willow , you know that if you keep faking things , no one is going to believe you .
I kept my eyes on him .
I also know that people who dont want to believe me will < never believe me , no matter how many times I tell them .
Marks hands curled into fists .
He just turned away .
Youre going to stay here and think about what youve done .
You are not going anywhere .
