Daphne rushed into the living room and looked for her sister. Once she found her she headed to her and before Zoey could even blink Daphne had lifted her hand and slapped her. Someone gasped, but it wasn’t Zoey.
“Daphne, what is going on?” Mrs. Allen demanded to know. Daphne rotated her head to her mother. “Why don’t Ты ask this slut?” she said. Another gasp. “Daphne, this is no way to talk in front of guests” Mrs. Allen reproached.
“What’s the matter, mom?” Daphne asked scornful. “Afraid I will spike your little balloon and everyone will see who sweet Zoey really is? A jealous, selfish, delusional bitch. Everybody in this room already knows, so why hide the truth?”
Someone coughed and Daphne turned around. Cas joined her and looked extra sheepish. “I think I might have caused some trouble”
Zoey shook her head. “No, it’s my fault” she said. “I shouldn’t have done what I did. But I didn’t do it for the reasons Ты and Daphne think I did” She turned to Daphne. “I was testing him. I wanted to do one final test to see if Ты could trust him. And you’re lucky, because he passed. He didn’t even blink”
Daphne took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “Well, whatever reason Ты had I’m still going to need Ты to leave”
Zoey nodded. It didn’t come as a surprise.
“Emmanuel сказал(-а) something and it made me think. You’re not a very good mother” Daphne сказал(-а) cold. “But I know that is not entirely your fault. I’m responsible as well, by keeping Ты here. And I won’t allow Ты to hold that against me. So Ты can go now”
“Mommy?” Alexia had noticed the awkwardness. “Are Ты coming Главная now?”
Zoey forced a smile. “Yes, Poppy, I’m coming home. I should’ve never left in the first place” she сказал(-а) with a look at Daphne. She took Alexia by the hand and walked into the hallway.
“Zoey” Cas had followed her.
“Tell Daphne I’ll pick my stuff up later. Right now I just need to be far away from her” Zoey said.
“I’m sorry” Cas said. “I shouldn’t have told Daphne Ты took off your clothes for me and I shouldn’t have сказал(-а) you’re a bad mother. I’m in no position to judge”
Zoey kneeled down for Alexia. “Sweetie, why don’t Ты wait outside? Ты can sit on the stairs” Alexia obeyed and walked out of the house.
Zoey averted her head back to Cas. “You should stop feeling sorry for me” she said. “You think I’m the victim here, but I’m not…You are”
And with one final, compassionate look Zoey left the house too.

Cas stroked his hair and tried to keep his breathing under control. Meg didn’t understand. He needed more. He had lied about the pain being back, but he hadn’t lied about needing another dose. He opened the upper buttons of his shirt, suddenly feeling feverish.
He hurried to the dresser and opened all drawers and cupboard doors. He searched through them, checking all boxes, finding nothing. He slammed everything shut and began to rub his fingers again.
“If I were a medicine cabinet, where would I be?” Cas mumbled trembling and out of breath. He ran to the stairs and sprinted upstairs. He went to the bathroom and opened the mirror cupboard.
“Got it” he said, sighing relieved and he grabbed all boxes that had medicines in it. He took out all the strips and swallowed the pills one by one.
He leaned against the cold, marble Стена and sank down on the floor. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
