[@BrutalBx] [hider=Helena "Nellie" Perfect][center][b][color=AB4E52]Roxanne’s Journal Entry:[/color][/b] [i]Another night where she's sleeping over. I wish I could make things better for her. All I can do is provide her a bed when she feels like running away. Oh and waffles for dinner. You can never go wrong with waffles. Nellie has so much heart, even if she hides it behind insults and that god awful attitude. Maybe, one day, we'll run away together. And maybe, one day, I can help teach her how to be a lady. I love her to death but the way she acts now we'll only hurt her in the long run. It's okay to be vulnerable, Helena.[/i][/center][table][row][cell][/cell][cell][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][color=#2e2c2c]x

Anger is deeply seeded because of something. When love dies, it changes into a power play and festering insecurity. He killed her and no one can convince Helena Perfect otherwise. Vivian's words of surrender meant nothing to him when he slammed her against the wall. [color=AB4E52][b]"Don't hurt my mommy!"[/b][/color] Slap! [color=c58380][b]"Don't fucking touch her!"[/b][/color] Her memory came and went in bits and pieces. Flashes. Her mother shielded her, as he threw fist after fist. Then, after he was satisfied, the steam left from his body and Edwin snapped back to his senses. The act continued. She covered her bruises, scars, and flaked make up with a smile. No one suspected anything. They were a [i]Perfect[/i] family. An upcoming Construction Manager, a florist for a wife, and three children. Two sons and a daughter. Conrad, Eugene, and Helena. That is until Vivian couldn't handle the weight of the family anymore and 'accidentally' drove herself into the river. 

With no mother to protect her anymore, Nellie had to learn to take care of herself at a young age. Her brothers sure as hell wouldn't take care of her. They were already showing mannerisms of their father, using their dominance and stupidity to control her every move. As if having her father as her 'keeper' was enough, she had two dip-shits keeping tabs on her too, like they owned her. She couldn't go to sleepovers. She couldn't stay out too long. She couldn't participate in many clubs. She couldn't have an inkling of enjoyment without making them dinner first. This life wasn't going to cut it and even if she ended up dead like her mother, she was going to live the life she wanted. 

When she was in sixth grade, two years after her mother's passing, her walls were breached by Roxanne "Roxy" William and her perspective on life changed, even if she couldn't easily let the anger dissipate. Together they figured out ways to spend time with one another even if it meant Roxy had to slip into Nellie's room and when an unwanted visitor came in, hide under the bed or in the closet. This daring wildfire became the most important person to her. Her best friend.    [/sub][/indent][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][sub]✖ [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGrp1y1wpIc][color=AB4E52]4𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻[/color][/url][/sub][/indent][/indent][indent][indent][indent][sub]Her highschool years were basically a fuck you to the world. She acted out. Got into fights. Got punished for tainting her father's name. Ran away from home. Got punished when she was caught. Slept around. Got punished for the rumors. Found and bought things for cheap and sold it for a higher price. Got punished for that. Nellie's restlessness was unbearable and to her small town of judgmental prats, she gained the reputation for being a flaming bitch and a fucking disrespectful delinquent. [b]"Oh Edwin, your sons are the prime example of what men should be in this society. Make sure to give this pie to them. I know Conrad loves my pies especially. Your daughter on the other hand..."[/b] Nellie was the Raging Bull of the Century. Oh and one of her favorite names: a Cock-biter. That rumor still lives on.

Death can be a blessing or a curse. Her mother's death was a curse. But her father's death? Godsend. There was a construction accident just a little after her 18th birthday. Most people would get terrified of what to do, how they were going to succeed and get a proper education. Nellie? She was preparing for this moment since the day she lost her mother. She already got accepted to the college of her desire, Berkeley, with basically a full-ride scholarship. She saved as much money as she could so that she could afford to move out of this shithole. And she had no one holding her back. Her brothers were upset when they found out that their father left her a portion of his life insurance. In a weird, fucked up way, he loved her - she guessed. But they were going to make sure they had everything else that he didn't specify in the will. The house, his car, his savings. She told them fine - but unbeknownst to them, she made sure she took everything that was left from her mother, with her. And in their minds, their mother was their father's property. She counts that as a win.

She rarely had free time. When she wasn't working, she was writing papers and making sure she kept her GPA at a 3.8 or higher. Ideally, she aimed for a 4.0. She doesn't know how it happened but she met a man and fell madly for him. Nellie wasn't going to let that compromise her studies and he knew that. Fortunately, he was pursuing a similar career path, specializing in child psychology, so they made the most of the little time they had. He'd visit her while she waited at the diner. She'd visit him while he broke down from stress, gifting him with his favorite candy bar. They'd visit each other late at night and they'd take a moment to breathe, eat Chinese take out and just hold one another. He actually didn't want her for sex and that made her feel... different. They met during the day at the library between classes to do homework together. This man softened her heart and showed her that there was beauty in life. It may be simply in the little things, but it was there. He was there and thanks to him, she had a reason to believe that everything she wanted to achieve was worth it. That living was worth it.  

That is until he had to take a long break from his studies due to personal family issues, and for her sake, he chose to end their romantic relationship and 'just be friends'. Eventually, she found out that she made him realize that he was gay. So, she decided that focusing on herself and her child welfare goals, with plenty of experience in fieldwork and constantly aiming to protect children from deplorable situations would be a priority. Becoming emotionally attached to someone, though, causes some of the worst pain when you lose them.[/sub][/indent][/indent][/indent]

Her first job was a social worker in the foster care system. While school provided her with the knowledge and tools she needed, hands on experience exposed her to the challenges of her field and how hard it was to see so many vulnerable families. When she turned twenty six, she found her niche in Child Protective Services. 

Her life was constantly on the go, rarely did she look back to her past, though her and Roxy did keep in contact. Their communication started decreasing the more successful Nellie became. And then Roxy died. When Helena thought she finally was over terrible things, it punched her again, but this time in the worst way possible. Through her best friend. Although Helena constantly battles fits of anxiety, loneliness, and being hard on herself, nothing compares to the feeling of losing someone you loved with more heart than you realized you had.
