**Eleanor’s Point Of View**
I almost died today. I was scared. Scared for my life. Victoria and I grew up together. After my father ran off leaving my mother pregnant, she was left to care for the Sinclair's daughter.
I befriended victoria at a young age because my mother loved her. I could never do anything right. But victoria? That girl was smart, she was charming. And her parents…. I never understood why they didn't want her.
She was everything I wanted to be and my mother's love for her was more than what she had for me.
They'd wanted to fire my mother, but victoria told her parents she would call CPS and claim she was being neglected and abused.
The neglect part was not a lie.
So to avoid sullying their image, they increased my mother's pay and put me in school.
I envied V
