Before it's too late (4)

Helena reluctantly opened the door to let Hazel inside so they could talk. Maybe this time they might reconcile so she wouldn't continue to feel the way she was now. She felt terrible like she was an evil person.

Once she was alone and could go over the things she said to her mother, she realised how wrong she had been. Helena had never spoken back to her mother, raised her voice, or so much as whispered that she hated anyone in the mansion.

Helena turned away from Hazel to try fixing her appearance. No one should ever see how much of a mess it was after she cried her eyes out. 

Hazel closed and locked the door behind them so they wouldn't be disturbed. Helena would start crying again if someone were to see her face now. 

Hazel followed Helena to the bed to sit on it so they could talk there. "Stop trying to hide your face from me, Helena. I've seen your ugly face many times. I am used to it."
