[team two] unsaid

[thesecretdoor.livejournal.com]

This is ridiculously short but I finally actually managed to write something!

I did have a little more to it, but I'm not sure if anyone here even reads Simon Snow so I cut it short because I thought it would be better to have more interesting ending words.

Baz POV; Gen; ~100 words

Unsaid, the words burn bitter on the back of my tongue. My father holds my gaze, not a challenge but a warning.

He doesn't need to say the words.

This family runs on stony silences and suppressed feelings. I hate it.

"That's all settled then, we'll invite the Wellbeloves over this weekend." Daphne smiles, it wavers on her lips as the tension thickens between my father's hard eyes and mine.

"Agatha is a good match for you, Basil." he says, obstinately.

I hate her.

I hate my father most of all. It's such a cliché thought for a teenage boy I suppose. But I'm no normal teenage boy.

I do! I love the way the first person pov makes this so intense. A great last line too!
