Daddy!!!!" Elena shouted as she stepped into the living room. She just came back from Nick's house and saw her father relaxing his head on the couch. She ran to him and jumped into his arm, hugging him tight with all her strength.
She then created a space between them after a long hug "How are you princess?" her father asked
"Am doing great dad. How was USA?, i hope you didn't tire yourself with work?, you look like you lost weight" her eyes sparkled as she asked
He chuckled and shifted for her to sit beside him "Am the same as i left dear" he pinched her nose
She smiled for second then her face turned sad "What about mom?"
Mr. Westwood sighed "Your mother still has some work but she'll be back soon, don't worry" he patted her head and tried to change the topic "Where is that trouble maker brother of yours?" they both chuckled after he asked
"Oh he went out with Micheal" she replied
He just nodded and pat sher head then went upstairs to his room.
Elena knew her father didn't love her as much as he love Eric. He loved her but she can feel the difference, he always favoured Eric in everything always saying that 'Men are more valuable than Women'. She did everything to impress him, got good grades, always obeyed him, never said no to his request but he still never sees her as important as Eric. He always turn a blind to Eric's bad doings, school offenses and failures. He just bribe the teachers to give him good grades or threaten people who try to report Eric.

"Hey, are you busy tomorrow?" Nick asked Elena on the phone
"No why?"
Nick breathes out then replied "I was thinking maybe you wanna to the carnival with me, i mean if you are not busy, i don't know if so........"
"Yes" Elena replied happily between Nick's nervous question
"Yes?" he asked confused
"Yes, i will go with you dummy" she giggled
"Ok, ok, ok i will see you tomorrow" he giggled nervously
"Yeah bye"
Nick ended the call then lay heavily on his bed, his eyes shining brighly then he smiled and throw punches in the air excitedly.
