Another family meeting In the living room eugh....my brother would drag me from my bed by my feet to get me up for them but In the end he would end up carrying me while I was half asleep the last meeting was about money issues, Mum and dad wanted us kids to get jobs or we had to move out...no way was I moving out....my idea of moving out Is when I am 20 although my brother Sam Is waiting for his keys to his new flat to arrive and he Is 21 I started doing shifts down at the super market but I got fired because I ended up arguing with the customers and manager they shouldn't have pissed me off....
I decided to be lazy and wait for my brother to come and wake me It was 9.00....the meeting should be starting around now...I smell bacon cooking downstairs and It lures me from my bed I look in the mirror and grab my make up box I begin cleaning my face and then put some mascara and lip gloss on I put my makeup back and change Into clean undies and a pair of ripped white skinny jeans and a black strapped shirt I leave my hair In its messy bun and I make my way downstairs I hear nervous whispers In the kitchen my parents and two brothers look at me startled as I came In suddenly
''Morning, how come nobody woke me up for the meeting?'' I looked at everyone now what was with everyone they all looked nervous but they gave me smiles
''We thought we'd give you a little lie In.'' My mum says as she puts her hand on my back and sits me at the table she then puts a plate down bacon egg and cheese muffins and then some coffee In the most expensive cup In the house I raise my eyebrows I normally made my own breakfast everyone did unless something major was happening also nobody but mum was allowed to use that cup... so.....what was going on?
''Thanks mum?'' I say it more like a question everybody else sits down with their food I felt like they was all watching me so I stop eating
''Whats going on....spill It.'' I sigh In a annoyed tone Mum looks at dad and dad looks at mum while my two brothers look at each other I stand up and cross my arms.
''Honey...you're engaged.'' My Dad blurts out and my mother shots him a look I cracked a smile
''Funny dad..'' I say although why would he say that as a joke but he gives me a nod and a small smile my eyes widened
''WHAT?'' I burst out my face goes a shade of pink
''We need the money...'' My mother stands up and puts her hand on my shoulder
''SOO YOUR BASICALLY SELLING ME TO SOME RANDOM DUDE WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT YOU WAS MY PARENTS!.'' I am nearly In tears I was waiting for them to all laugh and say 'gotcha!'
''Of course we are not selling you...we really need the money sweetie and this guys family Is rich and the guy Is one year older than you and he Is famous!'' My mother tries to make me feel better but It honestly doesn't work so I shrug her hand off
''This is so not happening...I am only eighteen I don't want to tie the knot yet...what stupid people would pay someone to marry them!'' I was crying now my brothers kept quiet my dad looked down and my mother was now frowning
''Please don't cry Jem...'' My mother sighs and tries to pull me Into a hug but I back away
''Who is this guy?'' I mumbled with tears running down my cheeks
''Its a surprise'' My mum smiled at me I gave her a disgusted look
''Oh I can't flipping wait!'' I say sarcastically and pick up my plate of food and coffee no way was I wasting yummy food I walk upstairs and begin to eat...food always made me feel better
Everyone in the house stay out of my way all day I decided not to stay In my room sulking maybe I could get them to change their minds...I take my empty plate and cup and go downstairs In the kitchen my mum and dad was standing In there and I couldn't see my brothers so they might be out because nobody was In the living room. They both smile at me as I put my plate and cup In the sink.
''You will be moving In with him In a weeks time.'' My dad says almost like a instruction I raised my eyebrows
''I understand you need money but what If this guy Is a freak!'' I say nervously my mother shook her head
''I know his parents and besides you pair use to go to the same nursery day care all though you never played together...'' My mother smiles widely while I frown It's obvious that they are not going to change there minds...my mother looks down
''If you don't want to do this for us we understand .... we can find some other way by getting money we could sell the house and move In with grandma and grandpa they have spare rooms for all of us.'' She says putting a dramatic tone on her voice I roll my eyes.
''Fine I'll do It but don't except me to go all happy about It and expect a divorce afterwards!'' I muttered and my mother and dad hug me tightly.....I hate my parents............sometimes
