Roses in my Grave

A change of plans Chapter 2

I blew out the candles of my cake I cant believe I spent 6 years already in this town.
I hardly remember how the bed of flowers back home looked I really wish those memories stayed forever...
Dad left minutes after I blew my candle so I stayed home I knew he would be out for an hour
Knock knock
Who could be here? Dad is out with her..and it's really cold who could it be? I doubt it's the mail man last time I threw him a trash can cause I thought it was a monster maybe I do need to stop reading scary stories just like she said.
I opened to see my one true best friend Mary Dyers the only person who stood by me, who really understood me since I was 6.
She looked freezing so I let her in, she was wearing a beautiful long coat and a long skirt .
I loved to bring her over she was so much fun!
"Are you gonna let me in or not Lindy?"
I chuckled and said
"I'm going Mar!"
She had a beautiful wrapped present she told me to open it and when I did I found a book all about flowers Mary knew how much I loved flowers it was basically my only memory from my mom...
"Oh Mar the book is so beautiful you didn't have to...."
She smiled as she took offer her winter hat.
"Of course I did you have been asking for this book to your dad since your 9!"
I smiled I knew I did I had asked him from a long time too he never even listened
[ 3 hours Pass]
"Mar you are no good in dancing!" I laughed I knew how much she loved dancing I liked to joke that she's self taught
"Look who's taking Lind-"
Her talking was interrupted by a scared shriek it was her and my dad they both looked at me
" LINDA MARKTON! WHY ON THE RIGHT MIND ARE YOU HANING OUT WITH HER?"
It was confusing was I not supposed to talk with her?
"Oh my god they are gonna think she's friends with the criminal girl!!"
My parents kicked poor Mary out and I begged them not to and apologized I to her after they kicked her out
Not even 10 minutes later and she called me and my dad to the dinner table and told us:
"I have the best idea! Linda you should definitely get married when you are 16!"
I was so shocked.
I'm 12 and I'm getting married wWith how? Do I even know them? I already like someone else? Ew?
So many thoughts rushed through my head and the worst part is my dad agreed. I couldn't this anymore!
