The Forgotten Child

33

FREEDOM! Woo! It was like the biggest weight was lifted off my shoulder. I just felt so happ-

"WHAT?! THIS IS CRAZY!,"I heard Stone shout from behind us. I turned around, with Lia (cecilia) and Lisa beside me and I could feel Granny and her family stood behind me. I felt scared about their reaction but with my friends by my side I felt extremely safe.

"THIS IS STUPID, THAT IS MY GRANDAUGHTER FOR FUCK SAKE!", I heard Grandpa yell, my cousins and uncles cutting in and arguing with them. 

"I didn't bribe the judge if that's what your saying, I'm not like you guys", I said with a sweet smile, making them all turn to me. The triplets were now also in views, looking me up and down with a smile. My family noticed this but didn't seem to bothered about it, infact they seemed to like the fact that they liked me.

"You can't get out of marrying one of us thought sweetheart, Stone signed it for you days ago and you can't change it", One of them said with a sinister smile. The other two were stood next to him in line with eachother, trying to be intimadating, when really they were some boys who hadn't even finished puberty yet.

"Well technically due to the fact that Cecilia is her legal guardian and that Matilda is 16, she can decide on her behalf and therefore cancel the marriage contract", Lisa said with a small smile of her own, which made them turn from smug to angry pretty quickly.

"No way! Stone promised her to one of us, she can't just change that!", They yelled at me as I rolled my eyes and giving them a sharp glare, shutting them up pretty quickly. I mean, they looked like they were about to fucking cry or something, they obviously weren't use to being yelled at or even told off.

"I wouldn't marry you even if it wasn't arranged, your obviously delusional, all of you are infact, I mean, take a look into the real world, you call it stupid and crazy when really its just the opposite, I'm safer and much more loved with Lia then I ever would be with you, I mean mum was miserable for fuck sake!", I said throwing my hands in the air. This really caught their attention as they were all staring at me curiously. Some with a glare, as my father just stood away awkwardly watching me.

"No she wasn't, my angel was happy with her husband and children", Grandpa said confidently. The other nodded whilst Lia looked like she was about to blow her fuse box.

"Oh really? Is that why she never called dad? Why she could barely look at any of you during christmas's, you blame her for all the pain, when you started it all! You made your eldest daughter marry a man who treated her like crap. Matilda made her happy, made her want to live again!", Cecilia shouted at them, which caught Grandpa off guard, as is was obvious that no one really talked back to Grandpa. They all fixed themselves up and stood awkwardly.

I remained silent as we all stood for a moment, with them all staring at me as I looked at anywhere but them.

"You can't just ignore us Tilly", Lucian said with cold eyes. My cousins and brothers copied this whilst my Uncles and Grandpa looked down on me with hate, understandable I mean I did just embarrass them infront of a shit ton of people.

"Yeah because I really want to talk to a bunch of people who blame me for my mother death", I said with a straight face glaring at them.

"Well it was your fault", Grandpa whispered but I gave him a swift glare. The others were also nodding along agreeing with them.

"My fault? Wouldn't it of been Samuel Redhearts fault?", I said angrily, catching them all off guard. Grandpa eyes widened and my brothers looked angry, well, Lucian looked very confused. Well that's going to awkward when they get home.

"He killed her, NOT me, if anything you killed me, and you honestly think mum would of forgiven you? For choosing her over her only baby girl? She would of falled into a depression and died from that! Her mental health must of been crap anyway having to deal with all of you!", I said, once again throwing my hands up in the air in fustration. I looked behind me and Granny and her family had left, and Lisa left my side as well, most likely out of respect as it wasn't their family.
