FORBIDDEN LOVE

Tracy will be on my birthday

A week ago I knew that my parents had invited mum's friend, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. It was Hanna and her daughter Tracy. Tracy was the same age of Jayden. Of course, everybody in our family started to discuss that it would be a great couple in soon future. Tracy was tall, beautiful, red-haired girl. Jayden should love her from the first sight, our mum was assured in it. I couldn't explain my feelings about it, I felt anxious and jealousy. After this news I didn't wanna have a party, but my family decided to have it on the fresh air. Having barbecue was a good idea. 

August, 6. Jayden went to the airport to meet Hanna and Tracy. I wanna go with him, but mum asked me to help with welcome dinner. I was nervous. My mind was full of images with my Jay and Tracy. I hadn't even seen her before. Maybe, she was more beautiful than me and Jayden would fall in love. 

"Jo, what happened to you? You are so distracted today. Are you ok?" - my mum was frowned and added: "I hope your behaviour will be pleased." I only sighed and rolled my eyes. 

Outside we heard the engine of Jay's car. 

"Here they are!" - exclaimed mum and took off her apron. She fixed her hair and went to meet our unwanted guests. I went up to my room, because I was delaying the time meeting. 

"Josephine, go down! Look who has come!" - mum was implacable. I dressed my white T-shirt and blue jeans and let my hair down. When I was walking on the stairs I heard their voices: "Tracy, you are like a princess, my son was looking forward to meet with you. I'm so pleased that you will make friends". I clenched my fists, hesitated for a while and went on down. 

"Oh, that my girl. She is small, but soon she is getting older", mum showed her brilliant mind. 

"Josephine, if I'm not mistaken" - Hanna reached her little hand. 

"Call me Jo!" - I was strict, but my mum shushed me. And I had to add the word please. Hanna just smiled. I saw her daughter, Tracy (if I'm not mistaken) my brain remembered her greeting phrase. She was nice with green eyes, she was fashionable. She was holding iPhone of new model. She listened to the same music like Jayden. They discussed it all the time. I realised that it would be the worst birthday in my life. 

At the dinner, I was in silence and watching for my rival. Obviously, Jayden was fond of her. And she was fancy at him. They were great couple, our mum was right. I couldn't bare it, I thanked my mum for tasty dinner, asked my father to deliver my presents into my room, thanked our guests for gifts. 

"Perhaps, you will show Tracy your room, darling", - my mum was so sweet, I wanna puke. 

"Not today!" - I snapped and not to look at my bro, left the kitchen.

In my room, I wrote sms to Toby and invited him to go for a walk. He was happy to see each other. I took a shower, put on my favourite pink dress and black trainers. Toby said that we would go to the party where we should take part in different competitions. First I wanna Jay to see me in this dress. I wanna him to know where I go and who will come with me. But then, I heard Tracy's voice in his room, I thought that it would be odd. 

I went out to slam my door so loud in hope Jayden would hear it.
