Chapter Text
Today was the same as every other, nothing ever seemed to change in the Sinclair household.
Enid lay on her bed, seemingly unphased by the screaming going on in the other room. Her mother, as always was yelling at somebody in the house yet again. This was a constant thing. Everyday, nothing in the house and nothing that any of the Sinclair siblings, or their father Murray did, was good enough for Esther.
"I thought I told you to take the god damn garbage out!" Esther yelled from the kitchen. Bingo. Enid knew who she was yelling at now, one of her brothers. "I- you never said anything!" He anxiously said back. "God. You are so fucking useless!" In a matter of seconds there came a loud bang, shatter, and cry of pain, then a sudden thud.
Enid shot up in her bed, occasionally things would get thrown, but it never seemed that anybody had gotten something thrown at them.
'Shit!'
The brightly colored girl quickly set her phone down and rushed out of her room. Thankfully her roon had a straight view into the kitchen. Enid stopped in her tracks as she saw her unconscious brother lying on the floor, shattered glass from a nearby vase was scattered across the ground. Esther looked up, her face seemingly red with anger as she stared at Enid.
"Clean this mess up and help your brother. Well you're at it, take the fucking trash out as that useless piece of shit son of mine couldn't." She glared at the girl before glancing down at her son, his face bloodied. She soon walked away.
'Shit, shit! I can't call an ambulance, mom would kill me.'
Enid rushed over to the counter and grabbed the roll of paper towels. Well in the kitchen she grabbed bandaids, cotton balls, and just about anything else the poor girl could find to clean this up. She carefully bent down next to her brother, checking his pulse to make sure he was still breathing. Thankfully, he was.
"It's okay Enid. It's okay. He'll be okay." She mumbled to herself. Carefully, she sat her brother up, propping him up against the nearby island. "It's not the end of the world, just clean the wounds, pick up the glass, get him to bed, dry the floor, and take the trash out." She tried her best to make herself feel better in this situation. This was most definitely not the first time she has had to clean up glass from the floor, or clean wounds on her, or her siblings bodies.
Enid carefully took a piece of glass out of the poor boys face. It was a small piece that hopefully wouldn't scar over. In the case that it did, it wouldn't be huge. With all the blood that seemed to be drying, or coming out of the many wounds on her brothers face and shoulders the girl became nauseous as she cleaned them. The smaller wounds got bandaids. There were about two deep cuts from the glass, she had to pull it out of his skin and wrap both areas with gauze and bandages after cleaning them carefully.
.
It seemed to take around 30 minutes to clean everything up. Finally, as Enid closed the trash can outside that she had thrown the trash bag into, she was done. Her brother was in bed, the blood, glass, and water were cleaned from the floor. Now all that was left was to go back inside and face her mother.
'Why is it always me god dammit. Am I the only person in this house who even bothers to help when things go wrong?'
Enid couldn't help but feel an intense amount of anger rise up in her as she thought about this. Whenever something went wrong in the house, the blame was set on her. Whether it was because she was the second youngest, or because it always seemed as if the poor girl was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Regardless of what it was, she was tired of it. None of her siblings, nor her dad really seemed to help in these situations.
'I mean really, I understand not getting up during the initial start of the conflict or screaming, but seriously! Why do I always have to clean up the messes or take the blame for this stupid shit!'
The blonde clenched her fists as she walked into the house. She took a deep breath to calm herself before seeing her mother standing in the kitchen; directly in front of the blondes room.
"Enid." She said, her voice flat. Enid looked at her as her body tensed. "Yes mother?" She mumbled. Esther sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Okay.. To start, clean your god damn room for once." She spoke. "Two, do not tell anybody about your brother, not your stupid little girlfriend or whoever the fuck that god forsaken Addams girl is, not your friends, nobody. Do you understand Enid?" Her mother crossed her arms and looked at her.
Enid felt a flurry build within her as she heard her mother speak of Wednesday like that; but to her dismay, there was nothing the poor girl could say about it unless she wanted to end up like her brother, or worse. "Yes mother." She muttered. "Good girl. Oh! And before I forget.." Her mother sneered.
Enid internally cringed at the name but made eye contact with Esther once again. "Quit talking to that Addams girl so much, shes a bad influence on you. Shes quite the morbid one, don't you think?" Esther said with a grin played across her face. With that, she stepped out of the way of Enids bedroom.
'Yeah, you'd sure know what morbid means.'
Enid held her breath as she walked into her bedroom, closing the door behind her as tears immediately formed in her eyes. The blonde girl, dye in her hair almost completely faded, crumbled down onto her bed and reached for her phone pulling up Wednesday's contact.

Enid:
Hey Wen, how many times would it take for me to talk to you about,, stuff going on before you, yk, get sick of it?
La mia stella❤:
I'd eat ice cream and sit in a room full of color, your aggravating, annoying pop music blasting in the background for minutes, hours, days, months, or even years if it meant you'd always talk to me.
Enid:
I love you
La mia stella❤:
I love you more cara mia. 🖤

Enid sat there for a moment, for Wednesday it must've looked like Enid was typing paragraph after paragraph as the 3 dots kept coming back but in reality, Enid didn't know what to say. Should she tell her about her brother, her mom? Should she tell her what Esther said? Thinking about it made Enids head hurt.
Another minute went by and the blonde ultimately gave up unaware of what to say anymore. She felt the tears come back, those 5 minutes of pure bliss and no bad emotions came back rather quickly. She quickly wished she knew what to say back, she wished she knew how to hold the conversation but in the end it failed and now she was alone with her thoughts again, the weight of the earlier events and her mothers words heavy on her mind.
'Why am I even still fucking here, I wish my attempts back at nevermore worked. Am I that stupid I can't even die correctly?!'
Enid brought her knees to her chest and tucked her head down. She felt weak and defeated though she wasn't sure why. She couldn't help but cry, in the moment she was sure she was at least smart enough for that. The blonde girl just let the tears flow out of her eyes, she tried her hardest to not make a sound. She didn't care about anything else right now, she was by herself in her room and nobody, nothing, could possibly hurt her.
How long had it been? She wasn't quite sure but she knew it had been a fairly long time. It at least felt as so. The blondes phone dinged, she glanced at the time as she picked her phone up, 2pm? She had been crying for at least an hour, she was worn out and tired as she looked to see who the text was from.

Enid couldn't help but smile, but said smile quickly faded as she looked at her room. There was clothes on the floor, a couple glasses, school books, her bag, stuffed animals. Her room had been worse before but after the end result of her mother seeing it, she can't even begin to think about ever letting it get that messy again. The wolf texted Wednesday quickly telling her she'd text her after she finished cleaning her room and set her phone down.
Enid sighed and got off her bed, to start she'd just put her dirty laundry in the wash and put away her clean clothes. Normally the wolf would enjoy cleaning but today was just not her day. In her eyes, no day felt like her day.
It took her around 20 minutes give or take to fully clean her room like Esther had asked her to. Enid stood in the middle of her room looking around her to make sure she didn't miss anything. She had promised herself not to.
A knock came to her door and the blonde turned around to face it, "Come in" she said, and in walked Esther. Her mom looked around slightly, "Wow, honestly didn't think you were capable of cleaning it." She scoffed. "Mhm." The wolf stood there looking at her mom.
"Anyway! Did you take into consideration what I said yet?" Esther asked with a smile staring at her daughter. Enid raised an eyebrow, "What?" Was all she managed. Esther's smile dropped and she groaned. "What I said earlier you fucking idiot, about not talking to that stupid Addams girl as much. Have you thought about it yet?"
Enid stood there silently, she was aware her mom hadn't been joking earlier but for her to be this persistent about it? She couldn't manage any words, at least, none that wouldn't anger her. "Well? All I'm saying, I mean- All I've been saying, is that any girl THAT morbid truly should not be near you. Honestly, if anything you should stay as far away from her and her entire lunatic family as possible." Everything Esther said slowly jumbled together as Enid began tuning her out. She didn't have the patience, nor the energy to truly care.
'Yeah, like you're one to fucking talk about "any girl that morbid" does she just immediately forget what she does or something??'
"Enid. Are you even listening to me?" Esther asked with crossed arms. "Yes mom, I'm listening." Enid said. Esther glared at her daughter. "Whatever. But really, if I find out you two are actually fucking dating Enid." That sentence made Enid momentarily stop breathing. She felt practically every muscle tense up before noding. Esther left Enids room, slamming the door behind her.
The blonde practically gasped for air once the door closed. 'She didn't already know?!' Enid grabbed her phone.

Enid stared at her phone for a moment quite unsure of the last couple of texts. She shrugged it off and turned off her phone, for now she was going to take a nap. She was exhausted from today, the blonde wished it was over already.
As the blonde lay there in bed unable to sleep, the thoughts fill her head again,
'Mom would be rather pleased to see me dead'
'I don't wanna wake up'
'How many more times do I have to feel like this before it gets better.'
'Will they even miss me?'
'Why couldn't I have just succeeded before break'
No matter who she talked to 5 minutes before, whether the person made her laugh or smile, the same thing continued to happen. By herself, only her and her thoughts she felt beyond miserable. She wasn't even sure how to explain it. The only thing she did know was someday she was going to succeed, someday soon.
Maybe tonight.
