Nora walked in while shutting the doors behind her, she glanced through her empty room trying hard not to blink to avoid letting her tears flow, the wooden in built wardrobe just beside the door was half filled than it was last three months ago, the upper part of the wooden bunk situated directly opposite to the wardrobe was only with a bed on it and the lower part was covered with the white and dark ash colored blanket her sister gifted her last three months.
She unzipped her coat and threw it on the bed while sitting on the hanging hammock swing chair just few meters apart from the bunk and was faced to the windows. She closed her eyes and set her tears free, she sobbed softly, she didn't want to be heard, she hit her chest to release the pain held up in her chest.
"Nora" Eleanor called out
Nora didn't want to answer that her face were still puffy from crying
"Noraa" Eleanor called again
"Mamma one minute i am using the restroom" Nora quickly walked to the restroom just beside her room door. She hurriedly washed her face and dried it with towel on the bathroom door.
Her Father never missuse a chance to critize her and compare her with others in the town. She was also human, his daughter but everything was always different when he comes home with his bad mood, always pouring his anger on her. She loved him, she pitied him and hoped he will change but he had issues. When he wasn't satisfied with his verbal abuse then his physical abuse made up for it while her mother turned a blind eye to it, the woman loved her husband more. Aaron her brother didn't make things easy for her, he was similar to his father. Going to the market, clearing the snowfilled front yard, writing her college entrance exams and organizing the warehouse too, the outrage was what hurts the most, she could not blame her sister that left after just getting a her new job as a P. A. Sia was tired of our family drama, she was the brave one who always stood her ground and didn't take any insults, it hurt her too but she was stronger than Nora the useless weakling. Nora walked out of her room, walking past her brother's room trailing down the stairs she could hear the loud noise coming from her God knows whatever Aaron her brother was watching.
"Help me set the table Nora" Eleanor said from the kitchen.
Nora walking to the kitchen
"Are you done Mamma" Nora asked while looking at the cooking pot to see what was for dinner.
"Almost done baby, call your dad" Eleanor said while continously stirring the pot.
Nora rolled her eyes and walked to her towards to the room at the left side of the stairs. She knocked lightly
"Pappa dinner is ready" she didn't wait for any response as she walked back towards the kitchen.
Jeffery, Nora's father walked out just after dinner was set, the family sat down for their dinner and just as Nora was about to take drop a meatball to her plate.
"Nora have you arranged the planks" Jeffery asked
"No Pappa" Nora already knew what was about to transpire, she dropped her fork sadly.
"Go do it now" Jeffery said while chewing a slice of meatball.
"Let her finish her meal Jeffery" Eleanor said while caressing her husband's arm.
"Don't worry mamma" Nora quickly walked away from the dinning table taking her headphones with her as she played Airplane by her favorite Korean band 'Tan Boys', she wouldn't allow her pappa ruin her mood twice.
She walked straight to the warehouse with the snow falling lightly on her ginger hair.

Nora sang on top of her voice while hitting a few moves. She wanted to exhaust her body till she was too tired to cry, "it's just a matter a weeks it will be over soon" Nora assured herself.

Noticing she hit all the moves correctly, she swiped to her tiktok page, she would just make a dance video or two or three she grinned out of excitement. After getting 2000 followers Nora was excited as she hoped she can grow her page and be a known dancer or even be a background dancer for Tan Boys. Nora laughed at the thought of that. Nora slapped her cheeks twice "Come back to reality" But she couldn't help it she was already in her delulu world. Well that was the real Nora 'a dance addict'.
