valerie had always had a complicated relationship with sylvie. she couldn’t help but feel jealous that the other girl got out while she still felt trapped. but she didn’t want to change. she liked being ambitious and having power. but the idea of having the fun that she never got to have in her earlier years did always intrigue her a bit. “the other day...you asked me if i was happy. and yeah, i am happy,” valerie started. “but i also...” she had never been one to talk about her feelings, much less to a member of the golden brats. “i think i might feel like i’m missing out on something, i just don’t know what.” sylvie had suggested therapy but that went in one ear and out the other. valerie didn’t need to listen to a therapist to know her mothers were the root of most of her problems, she figured that much out on her own. plus, she had always thought that reaching out for help would make her seem weak, which was never an option.
