The stars will never be as bright as they where when i first met you . - {10-10-1910}

Monday 6:29am 9-10-1917

I never thought about how this world was created . Mother always said that it was made by God, To me he just sounds like a man that lives in the sky . However I believe that there is no man in the sky . Mother keeps telling me how girls have to wear frilly dresses with pearl necklaces , even diamond earrings . I myself am not a big fan of mothers earrings .. They hurt my ears if i wear them for too long.

Another foggy morning today . I love foggy mornings .Mother is having another party tonight , She keeps telling me to look out for a boy at her party's . I never like her parties , Normally I would put on my dress go downstairs and pass around some smiles then head back up to my room. However today something was off.. Mother had laid me out a black flowy dress with a cape . My Mother gave me a black dress with a cape ? Why would she do that ? .. I guess today cant be that bad then , Right ?

The golden sun started to hide behind the trees outside my bedroom window. It's time .

"Lilith Get down here now!" Mother was yelling . I wonder why she was yelling , did the florist get the flowers wrong ? Was the food not ready ?

"Coming Mother !" i replied .

I have a feeling Mother didn't chose this dress . its a polar opposite to the expected massive pink dresses that i usually have to wear , It has a small delicate black ribbon at the back with sparkles that make it look like a winter night sky . After what felt like a years worth of walking around the house looking for my Mother , i finally found her . Mother was holding a box , Why was she holding a box? ,The ribbon rapped around it had a florescent glow under the chandelier light.

"Im here Mother." i don't think she heard me .

"Mother?" i hope i'm not annoying her .

"Mothe-" ...

One of the maids grabbed the box from her and shoved it to me. Then they ran away . I never managed to figure out why all our maids look so .. on edge ? I opened the box to see a mask , it had black jewels all over it with silver outlines . And a note ?.. [The mask provided must be worn at the masquerade ball tonight - Mother.] Oh.

(7:30)

It all happens so fast , The drinks being poured , the compliments , the greetings , the laughter . It's too much for me . All the socialisation is turning into one massive blur , Theres boys lining up just to tell me how pretty my dress is and how it suites my perfectly curled hair .

I need to get out of here.

I cant think straight, my mind is a never ending whirlpool of thoughts . Thoughts that become overwhelming very quickly .

I cant get him off my mind , Matthew Stone . He had to be somewhere right ? He always came to my mothers parties , well his parents always came , He just has to go with them . If my ten year old self where here she would be ignoring my horrendous headache and go straight to him . I really need him right now. I don't know what i'm doing here , i'm smiling and saying words without even thinking ..
