Chapter 31

　　Theo’s pov

　　I stood still, watching this drama in front of me. This has got to be the richest dysfunctional family I have ever come across.

　　It was different shades of fucked up, it was a wonder why Aleia didn't trust anybody. If I came from a family like this, I would be so broken.

　　This wasn't a healthy relationship, it was broken on so many levels.

　　I was happy that my family wasn't as bad as this, we fought on some very bad days, but we loved each other. The only people who loved themselves were Aleia and her father. Diane hated her mother but was too afraid to push her away. Maybe because she knew she needed her mother. Kira hated Mr. Halls because she wanted what he had, she also hated Aleia because she couldn't measure up to her.

　　Diane was in-between Aleia and Kira. She wanted to support Aleia but she couldn't show it, because then her mother would abandon her.

　　She was a little girl stuck in a grown woman's body.
